ernor, was q candidate for the guber-
material nomination and was at swords
points with the then Gov. Ruby Laf-
foon and Thomas S. Rhea, the Laffoon
candidate for Governor, he and his op-
ponents were invited to join the presi-
dental train as it entered Kentucky.
Chandler accepted. Laffoon and Rhea
declined. In the primary fight that
year, Chandler came out on top.
Back in 1885, however, Gov. Chan
dler was the favored one, and Gov. Laf-
foon was at outs with the administra-
ton in Washington-over relief funds.
At that time, too, Senator Barkley was
the friend of Chandler and campaigned
for him in the primary fight all over
the State. Now Gov. Chandler, who
would not listen to the Presidents plea
to LAY off" Senator Barkley this year
and wait his turn for the Senate, is
facing the displeasure Of the admin
istration. He has against him his
former supporter, Senator Barkley,
and he has in addition the Iaffoon-
Rhea faction.
The picture of Gov. Chandler aboard
the presidential train while the Chief
Executive delivers his rear platform
address to the people of Kentucky will
be, perhaps, something to remember,
if the Governor actually goes through
with it. For if the President is to
do any good for his friend, Senator
Barkley, on that occasion he will have
to make it all the more explicit he is
anxious to have Barkley returned to
the Senate.
Odds Favor Barkley.
This latest Kentucky feud has turned
out to be as bitter as other battles in
the Bluegrass State. Senator Barkley,
tied up in Washington in recent weeks
by his work as Democratic leader of
the Senate, has scarcely begun his ac-
tive campaign He is hopeful that the
session will end within "a hours and
he will be free to rush back to enter
the fray. The odds to date appear to
favor Senator Barkley. However, it is
unwise to discount an opponent who
sits in the Governors chair. Usually
the Governor controls the State Or
ganization, machine or what you wish.
Chandler has built strong organiza-
ton since he entered the executive
mansion at Frankfort in December,
1885.
Chandler and his friends have
charged that the w. P. A., with its

big funds, is being used to aid the
Barkley campaign. Barkley, on the
other hand, accuses the Governor Of
using the big pay roll Of the State to
bolster his own political ambitions. To
listen to the charges and counter
charges gives the impression that the
senatorial nomination Of the Demo-
cratic party is on the auction block,
and will be knocked down on primary
day, August 6, to the candidate who
has been able to throw the greatest
amount of money-public money, by
the way-into the fracas. It is not
pretty picture, but is the kind of
thing that must be expected when po-
litical organizations are given control
of huge sums of money to be used for
relief.
The w. P. A., to whom the charges
OF political activity in support of Bark
ley were handed for investigation, has
reported that the charges are ground
less; that the w. P. A. workers have
been told they are free to vote as they
desire. This was not unexpected. Har-
ry L. Hopkins, w. P. A. administrator,
the other day commenting on the re-
suits of the Iowa primary, said that
the victory Of Senator Gillette against
his own candidate, Representative
Wearin, in the senatorial contest there,
proved the w. p. A. had not been
used politically. If Senator Barkley
wins the nomination in Kentucky, this
reasoning on the part of Mr. Hopkins
should prove that the w. P. A. had
been successful in Kentucky If not in
Iowa.
Holt Attacks Procedure.
Senator Rush D. Holt OF West Vir-
ginia, Democratic opponent of the
Roosevelt administration, does not
think much Of having the w. P. A.
investigate itself-as it has Just done
in Kentucky. The people wonder"
says Holt, "if President Roosevelt
wanted Harry Hopkins investigators
to find any politics in the w. P. A. in
Kentucky. The same fake procedure
was used in the West Virginia set-up
two years ago. I charged that the
whitewashing was in my State then,
but if they got away with it, such
methods would be used in all other
States"
Turning his attention to the w. P. A.
administrator, who recently stuck his
neck out when he jumped into the
Iowa primary, Senator Holt continues:
Harry Hopkins is suffering from lost
political hopes. Somebody told him he
was politician. The only thing that
makes him political factor is his
unlimited use Of the public treasury"
Mr.. Holt seemingly has in mind the
recent boom for Mr.. Hopkins for Gov
ernor of New York, boom which was
confined to the inner New Deal circle
in Washington, and which is now all
washed up.
Republican leaders in Congress think
they really have something in this
issue of the use of relief funds in
politics. They think that the Demo-
Gratis made blunder when they de-
feated the Hatch and Austin amend
ments to the Presidents relief and
recovery bill. which would have pro-
hibited political activity on the part
of w. P. A. employees. For that reason
the Republicans seem not to care

Senate is set up to inquire into w. P.

But that was before this new
fever treatment was found to be,
beneficial for everything from So

In the same way, the fever and

Relieves Symptoms
AS for other treatment, it is
largely designed to relieve symp-
toms. In the latest edition OF
Cecips "Text Book Of Medicine" :,
the revised article on the common
cold brings the information right
down to date, mentions local appH-
cations and these medicines-as-
pirin. phenacetin, codeine, Dover's
powder, papaverine, and the induc-
ton of sweating.
A careful experiment was made
on all kinds of medicines for colds
nv the health service Of the Uni
versitv of Minnesota. Students
with colds were given capsules for
colds without being told what was
in them. They were, however,
asked to report on the effect Of the
medicine. The greatest acclaim
was given to- "a pill containing
equal parts Of codeine and para
VERNE. Seventy-five per cent of
patients with this reported i'm
provement or complete relief while
taking this. The . only objection
from the patients standpoint is
that these are narcotic (although
only mildly so), and require a doc
tors prescription. Most patients
like to treat their colds themselves,
so aspirin and phenacetin will still
be popular.

A Pilot Explains

DANIEL J. BRndM, JR., member Of the board
~ of governors Of the Seaplane Flying Associa-
ton, writes to explain why planes usually fly
under the Brooklyn Bridge instead Of over be-
fore landing at the Wall Street base.
'It is because" he points out, "the wind in
such cases is from O. generally southerly direc
tion neceSSitating q landing toward Governors
Island Under such conditions since q ship
must descend at an angle, known as its gliding
angle, If the pilot goes over the bridge he will
land past the base and have to turn and taxi
back in water that is usually rough and go
through harboE traffic that is never courteous
or consderate. and oftimes distinctly hostile.
Accordingly, it is much easier to fly under
the bridge (and I assure you there is ample
clearance for the largest ship, even with several
boats going under at the same time) with the
guns partly on and making a power landing
or partial power landing just before reaching the
base."
