there were countless charges of the
use of money, federal relief money,
state payroll money, other money.
There was, likewise, a fight going
on next door. In Kentucky, Gov.
Happy" Chandler was seeking the
Democratic nomination to the SEN
ate and Sen. Dear Alben" Barley
wanted to be renominated and re-
elected. Also, the New Dealers in
Washington, from President Roose-
welt on down wanted Senator Bark
ley sent back, and the President had
gone into Kentucky to tell the vot-
ers of his views. Again: money,
federal relief money, state payroll
money, charges of attempted trades
of federal judgeships so that there
would not have to be a bitter pri-
mary fight like that which came.
Mr.. Hopkins Idea on Relief
Votes Backtfres
Here in Washington, there was
the greatest spender of all time, Mr..
Harry Hopkins, head of the Works
Progress administration and profess
sional reliever of destitute persons
whether they are politicians or the
poor, popping off another idea. Mr..
Hopkins was saying that 80 per cent
of the relief clients would vote for
President Roosevelt for a third
term. It was statement that i'm
mediately caused a backfre from
Capitol Hill where Senator Sheppard
of Texas was saying as chairman Of
the committee investigating the use
of relief money in politics, that there
must be something done about such
methods of influencing voters.
In another place, I read how Gov
ernor Earle of Pennsylvania was
calling the state legislature into spe-
cial session there to enact laws that
would prevent grand jury from in
vestigating some Of the governors
acts. The call for the special ses-
sion had been preceded, of course,
by a terrific political fight over the
Democratic nomination for United
States senator in Pennsylvania,
which was won by Governor Earle.
The governor preferred to have the
investigating done by members of
the state legislature, if there was to
be an inquiry, rather than by an in
dependent group. The only way to
prevent it was by law taking away
the authority of the courts and the
grand jury.
There were other states involved,
too. Senator McAdoo, who is seek
ing denomination as the Democratic
senatorial candidate in California,
was under fire. Some of his cam
paigners, it was charged, were US
ing coercion as well as federal re-
lief funds, while out in South Dakota
opponents of Governor Berry, now
the Democratic nominee for the
United States senate, were bringing
forth new set of charges. They
informed the senate committee here
that the Farm Security administra-
ton in South Dakota had been send
ing out press release that had
nice things to say about Governor
Berry. The press release was two
years old, of course, but the FSA
was mailing out many of them to
voters-and paying no postage on
them. 1t was another case of using
the ranking privilege, said the &C
cusers.

and the obligations of the lawyer as

speech, came across this passage:
II have only one apology that I

life. apologize to the American
people for having been in favor of
the election of United States sena-
tors by the people. My reason for it
was different from the reason of
many men. ! had gotten tired of
voting for some old rum-nosed Dem
ocrat for the legislature in Indiana
because a United States senator de-
pended on him for election; and I
thought that ] could raise the grade
of legislators in Indiana by letting
the people elect the United States
senators. Now, it was an altruistic
movement to make that change in
the organic law of the United States;

a million dollars to elect a senator,

government would not have been
