The Florida result is welcomed
by supporters of the Administra
ton as an antidote for many
Opinions" that are being widely
circulated. 1t, in their opinion,
will offset the view that the
President is much weaker with
the people than he was, that the
Conservatives of the South are
ready to cut his political throat,
that elections held today would
reveal widespread dissatisfaction
with the Administration. that the
current depression has alienated
the faith of his admirers and that
they are now ready to abandon
the New Deal as a sinking ship.

Space does not permit us to
take up each of the subjects dis
cusSed by the President, who feels
that one of the primary causes of
our present difficulties is to be
found in the disappearance of
price competition in many indus

power is most evident and where

In regards to the distribution
of the national income. in 1885,
forty seven per cent of American
families had incomes less than
81 900 for the year and ''at the

nations families received incomes

Power In the Public

These figures. in the Presidents
opinion, do not measure the actual
degree of concentration OF con-
troll of industry. Various cor
porate and financial devices are
used TO maintain control over
large areas of American industry.
While anxious to secure the adj
vantages Of efficient industrial
growth, the President insists up
on competition and declares that
"if the nations business is to be
allotted by plan and not by COM
petition" the power shall not be
vested in any private group or
cartel. tsst in the public through
its democratically responsible

La Tosca," presented by the
forces of the Chicago Opera
Company of New York and their
guests. last night, in the Rialto
Theater, is an opera needing q
stellar cast. 1t parades the most
strenuous aspects of Italian
song. 1t calls for an heroic baTi-
tone and a dramatic soprano. 1t
needs a full voiced lyric tenor
and two experts in characterize
ton for the parts of the sacriS-
tan and the police spy. 1t also
needs first class symphony or
chcstra and a fine conductor.
Of these requisites there were
present last night only the con-
ductor, the tenor and one of the
character actors. During the
first scene one thought that the
soprano was going to be the
great awaited star of the sea-
son. Fate decreed otherwise.
She began beautifully, with a
warm and alluring vocal timbre
that matched a lovely and ariSto-
cratic personality. When, how
ever, she had finished swapping
vocal punches with the baritone,
Nine. Leonora Corona, formerly
Of the Metropolitan Opera, was
q bit weary, though the aria
went very well.
Her share Of the first act con-
tanned some attractive song.

The major villain of the piece,
in more senses than one, was

and least vocal Scarpia. He need
not have been. He has a pleas
ant, full toned half-Voice that
would have sufficed for most
of the orchestral competition

would have balanced nicely the

he belongs to the strenuous

Lodovico Oliviero was the

famous impersonation of the po-

the music of the sacristan we'll,
