WHO is DOING THE WORRYING?

The impression is somehow peing passed around
that some one is worrying about the recent National
Election.
Who can it be?
President Roosevelt and the Democrats not
worrying. The President said so to the newsmen
gathered at Fridays conference He was asked point
blank if he was worrying and right away he replied
he was not and furthermore said he did not believe
the results constituted any threat for continuance of
a Liberal Government The President revealed that
he also had made election result forecast His
prediction shy on the Senate situation He
allowed seven Republicans would get Democratic
seats-there were eight He guessed the Democrats
would lose 65 seats whereby the Republicans actually
picked up 81 No he is not worrying
Then it must be the Republicans or the Progress
sives and the latter do not seem to cut much figure
Mayor LaGuarda of New York City is going to call
a conference OF Progressives to meet in Washington
Among the leaders to be invited is Gov LaFoette
Of Wisconsin, who given walloping in the recent
election together with his entire ticket. Wisconsin,
you must remember, is the headquarters Of the Pro-
gressves or rather it was before the election results
became known. Well there is one Party that is
worrying.
Now about the Republicans. They worrying
why they did not get more seats in the Senate ditto
the House That is easy to fathom-there not
enough Republicans, perhaps, or organization suf-
ficent to get any and they should consider
themselves lucky at getting as much representation
in Washington they did. The Republicans also
worrying about a Presidential candidate-wel there
will be plenty OF them they had just better stop
worrying about that. But they worrying there
are only about a scant 48 months before there is
another election and that is such long way off
at that.
SO the Republicans and Progressves are worrying.
Not the Democrats. They have policy up and at
them and win.

RECALLS WILSON
Typical comments:
From one Of the shrewdest
diplomats in the State Depart
ment:
Its the old story. When
ever the White House reaches
out a paw toward Europe, the
rest of the nation instinctively
draws back"
And from a foreign affairs
veteran on Capitol Hill:
"I'm glad the President is
starting back from Warm
Springs to Washington instead
of making that jump down to
the Pan-American Conference in
Peru we've been hearing rumors
about. remember it was just
20 years ago today that Wilson
announced he was going to
Paris. One of those vacations
from the White House is enough
in one lifetime"
And Just to pile up trouble
and arouse the suspicious of the
