Ed r. AND LEHMAN

In 1896, the Roosevelt administration put the
screws on that excellent gentleman Herbert Leh-
man. to run again for the governorship OF New
York state, even though Lehman desperately de
sired to retire from the exacttudes Of public life
Today, the same Herbert Lehman is something
of a sour smell in the nostrs of the same national
administration.
The reason:
Governor Lehman has announced that he has
succeeded in FIVE years in wiping out Empire
state deficit of more than S10O,O0O,o0O.
The deficit was the unpleasant baby left on the
Lehman doorstep by that well known business man
and financial expert, Franklin D. Roosevelt.
In two short years, 1880 to 1882, Mr.. Roosevelt
spent out of the New York state treasury hun
bred million dollars more than the treasury took
in.
Then Business Man and Financial Expert Roose-
welt hoped to Chicago, accepted the Democratic
nomination and cried out in ringing tones:
I'VE must eliminate unnecessary functions Of
government. By our example in Washington itself
we shall have the opportunity OF pointing the way
the present government be made solvent and that
to economy in local government. ! propose that
the example be set by the President Of the United
States and his cabinet"
Herbert Lehman heard those words and figured
they were sound advice. For five years he followed
them Now he has announced he has been sue
cessful 49,.
Business Man and Financial Expert Roosevelt
went on to bigger and better deficits and is now
trapsing around the country asking for fresh sup
port supposedly to run up bigger and better def
cts

Again and again astronomers

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

A FEDERAL district Judge who
does not owe his new job to
Senator Harry Byrd or Senator
Carter Glass has been appointed
in Virginia. One Of Senator Pat
MCCarran's political enemies has
been named u. S. district attorney
in Nevada. The federal housing
administrator for Maryland, who
was in Senator Willard Tydings'
patronage coop, has been fired.
The four senator's, anti-NeW
Deal Democrats, are boiling with
indignation at these SnubS, which
they allege are instances Of RooSe-
velts retaliation against his foes.
Similar instances may become
frequent between now and 1870,
but these alone call attention to
certain significant facts:
Big federal jobs, especially III
the states, and including even
theoretically sacred judgeships,
are additionally items of political
pie and it's practically unheard OF
TO appoint federal judge or other
official without endorsement by
the senator or senators belonging
to the right party and represent
ing his district.
For five years Democratic sem
ators have had their own men
appointed judges, district attor-
neys, postmaSterS, marshals, WPA
administrators, and so on, and the
administration has made little If
any effort to discriminate in
patronage between New Deal and
anti-NeW Deal senators.
The fact that federal machinery
in most states is manned BY
partisans who owe their jobs to
incumbent senators presents a real
stumbling block when Roosevelt
attempts to defeat Democratic
conservatives who have opposed
his measures.
