While Congressman Doughton
would sacrifice the very valuable
seniority he holds in the House by
reason of his long service there and
his chairman ship of the ways and

want him to run for the Senate point
out that he would have very strong
prestige in the Senate, even though a

he has gained in the House. He is now
regarded as being one of President
Roosevelt's right hand men and as be-
ing as close to the President as any
man in the House.
Congressman Doughton was great

Assembly, State officials and others
who met him while he was here. One
person who talked with him reported
he remarked he was surprised at the
