Roosevelt in 1910 -.
Conservative Demos


WASHINGTON. President
Roosevelt is likely to keep out of
the 1910 presidential campaign If
the Democratic party picks a con-
servative candidate unsatisfactory
to him. That's the concealed threat
when the President says: IF there
is a good liberal running on the
Republican ticket I would not have
the slightest objection to his cleo
ton. The good of the country
rises above party
Although the statement came dur
ing a press conference discussion
of 1888 primaries and elections, its
1910 implications were not missed
by those aware of current trends
in White House thinking. Roose-
velt, eager to force realignment
which would make the Democratic
party the liberal" party, recog-
nizes the 1910 convention may over
ride his wishes. The belief of his
closest associates that no New Deal
er but Roosevelt can be nominated
presumably is shared by F. D. R.
It's not entirely certain he himself
could be nominated And it's far
from certain that he would accept.
The idea that Roosevelt might
refuse to urge his followers to vote
for the next party nominee and
thereupon devote himself to build
ing up a liberal party for 1914 is
often discussed by his intimates,
who believe this would kill any 1940
Democratic nominees chances. The
possibility that Republicans might
pick a presidential candidate liberal
enough to attract Roosevelt's sup
port is now considered remote. But
if Republicans were. to nominate
Mayor LaGuardia of New York and
Democrats picked Vice President
Garner or one of Garners favorites
such as Senator Bennett Clark of
Missouri, Roosevelt would be likely
to favor LaGuardia.
The fact that w. Lee ODaniel
the "biscuit-passing pappy' who
campaigned with hill-billy band,
is to be next governor of Texas
is now being accepted with equan-
unity by all sides.
New Dealers are content, they
say, because the O'Daniel victory
was a blow at Texas machine
politics and did Vice President Gar
ner no good.
Anti-New Dealers are beginning
to describe O'Daniel as "conserva-
tive and sound" He proved that
they say, by making S500,000 in
the flour business and applying the
same technique to politics.
Georgia girls make valuable pol
itical advisers as we'll as good
wives, say Washington correspon-
dents who have been covering
southern primary campaigns. The
wives of Governor Rivers and for
mer Governor Talmadge, the latter
a senatorial candidate, are credited
with exceptional intelligence and
political intuition which have great
ly aided their husbands.
Gov. DIN Johnston of South
Carolina married Gladys Atkinson
of Atlanta. She managed his sue
cessful gubernatorial campaign.
Then two babies were born in the
executive mansion. Busy Mrs. john
ston wasn't active in the recent
senatorial campaign. The COVER
nor was licked by Senator Cotton
Ed" Smith.

Bruce Cation Says
is Matter of Simple Needs Fulfilled

Because the Atlantic ocean i,
wide and our ways of thought are
rather careless, it is easy to lose
sight of the human realities back
of the "war crisis" headlines.
We read that Germany does this,
Britain does that, and Czechoslova-
kia does some other thing, and we
tend to turn those distractions into
flesh-and-blood actors. The prime
ministers and chancellors hold the
center of the siage-along with
the generals; but we don't begin
to understand what is going on
unless we constantly remember the
millions upon millions of ordinary
human beings whom these actors
represent.
1t is these millions who will pay
for any war that takes place-pay
for it in blood and agony and
traggic unhappiness. And at the
same time it is the sum total of
their hopes, their disappointments,
their ideals, and their thwarted in
dividual questings for happiness
that has brought the world to the
edge of war.

One day as Napoleon was talk
ing to some of bis men, a dis
gruntled soldier came up and said
in a loud voice that his coat was
in rags and that he wanted a new
coat. 1t was a small crisis. for
there had been talk of mutinous
desertions.
There was a moments silence
and all eyes turned on Napoleon.
Napoleon admitted the truth
then said, why don't you think
of the honorable scars beneath the
coat? Then it won't seem SC
ragged"
The man softened, said he hadn't
thought of it from that point of
view. He went away satisfied
Napoleon had solved a problem by
admitting the truth of what the
man had said, then paying him
a compliment.

What human being wants out
OF this life is not, after all, any
thing very elaborate or complex,
usually. He wants a chance to earn
his bread and make his home,
little security against want, assur-
ance that he can briag up his
children under decent conditions,
bit Of leisure in which to seek
recreation-and that's about all. It
isn't much; yet the ordinary person,
assured Of it, would fight no wars,
nate no neighbors, and support no

once had 80 employees, but the
number had been cut to eight. On
top of this Mr.. Case was slated
to go.
Mr.. Case belonged to my class in
public speaking, and he knew on
a certain night he would have to
get up and talk The idea came to
him that it might help his COM
pany if he could tell something
about it and how it worked. But
there were some points he did not
know, so he went to his boss and
asked him for information. His
superior gave them to him willing
ly. but plainly he was puzzled.
Finally he asked Mr.. Case why he
was doing this, and Mr.. Case told
him.
His employer was surprised. He
had handled hundreds of young
men, but never before had one
come to him with this idea. 1t
showed the young man was trying
to improve himself and naturally
it would make some friends for the
company Here was young man
who differentiated himself from all
the others. He would be worth
watching.
A few days later he sent for
Mr.. Case, who went tremblingly
The ak was about to fall.
But it didn't fall! 1t didn't even
CULVER.
The boss said that he had been
watching him and was going to
promote him to the main store
and full-time work.
The boss had expected loyalty
and faithfulness during working
hours, but here was a young man
who was willing to go out of his
way during his free hours to boost
his company, and he was impressed.
We can all learn from that. Don't
stop working for your company
when you start home. Be on the
alert to do something for it during
your free time. You have nothing
to lose and you may gain a great
deal. This attitude made diff
ference in Mr.. Cases life. 1t will
in yours.

Smith and Lawrence
Put on Grid Spot
AT 1erp Banquet
Must Earn 1889 Berths,
Ayers Dobson, Despite
Dr.. Byrd's Praise

Coach Frank Dobson. who has
consumed goodly portion of the
laundering herd and a barnyard of
poultry since becoming noted as an
after-dinner speaker, has warned
Guard George Lawrence and Gen.
ter Bob Smith they still must make
the 1889 University of Maryland
football edition despite lavish praise
last night at the annual grid ban
quet at Beaver Dam Country Club
from President H. c. (Curly) Byrd.
Recognizing men among the crowd
of 200 who had performed notably
under him when he was coaching
Terp football teams, DR.. Byrd re-
called their feats and at the same
time singled out Smith as one of
the three best centers ever to per-
form at Maryland and Lawrence as
one of the Terps' greatest prospec-
tive guards.
In presenting letters to varsity
football players, Dobson paused to
caution Lawrence and Smith to ac-
cept DR.. Byrds praise in the same
spirit it was intended and compli-
mented the team in general for it's
spirit during disastrous season.
Prof. Charles S. Richardson, who
has attended every Maryland foot
ball banquet since they were inau-
gurated in 1909. was POSTMASTER,
while speakers in addition to DR..
Byrd and Dobson included Henry
Holzapfel, member of the board of
regents; Gus WEIGH. former Car
Isle quarterback; Geary Eppley,
athletic director, and Jack Faber,
assistant football coach.
Letter winners were Ralph Alba
rano, Francis Beamer, Frank Black,
