worked out here today by United
States War Department officials and
Army officers.

Col. V. j. OKelliher and Mai. Lewis
B. Hershey. both of the Army general

OF Army authorities and Army Reserve
specialists who met here yesterday for
four-day conference. Their visit was
to perfect in the seven Western States
the far-f1ung mechanism of the selec-
tive service plan for the next war.
Maj. Hershey said the draft would
be conducted by an independent Gov
eminent agency. permitting the armed
forces to concern themselves entirely
with the enemy.

I'VE had to look for our men in the
last war; he said, but the program
has been changed In the future. war
will be fought by an organized Nation,
with the Army looking to the civilian
population for men, money and mate
riel.'
The major said the project called
for the setting up of selective serv-
ice board headquarters in Washing
ton with division Offices In the States,
and subdivisions in counties. A total
OF 5000 draft board officers were con-
templated.
Future conscripts, he said, would BE-
divided into four classifications: Those
ready to 60. those with a reasonable
reason for delay, those with depend.
ents, and those unfit or ranked As
office holders.

with numbers being drawn from a
drum in Washington to determine the
order of the draft.
Army officials estimated a million
men could be summoned to arms the
first month. Thereafter men would be
called at the rate of 800, 900 the Sec
ond month, 100000 the third month
and 100000 the fourth month. Mill
tary needs would determine the rate

the Republican party II the Presi-
dent be a Republican, to state his
views about candidates. Probably
the presidential office ought not to
be used that way, but I can not get
so excited about 1t as some writers
and some newspapers and some pol
ilticians have done. am inclined
to regard such action as the purest
of politics and politics is a game and
the voters have to recognize that ii
is q game. There has been a lot
of meaningless gushing going on
about Mr.. Roosevelt's course that
just fails to impress me at all.
But, on the other hand, there is
an old, old quotation: Consistency,
thou art jewel. In remembering
and applying that thought, it ap-
pears to me that Mr.. Roosevelt has
gone off the deep end Of the pool
without an inflated rubber tube for
an arm rest. Indeed, isn't it q
rather silly thing, an utterly stupid
piece of business, to claim the right
to interfere on his own part and tell
the common, ordinary garden varie-
ty of voter that he can not take
a position because he once played
on the other team?

lican nomination for the senate
measured up to his ideals, why
should he not be allowed to vote in
the Democratic primary in order to
express his preference? 1t might
well be that Republican voter in
Idaho would feel that the Democrat
ic nominee had a better chance Of
being elected in November than did
the Republican nominee. If he felt
that way, it appears to me that he
would be showing good sense, COM
mon horse sense to express his pref
creme on that side of the fence. I
believe Mr.. Roosevelt's record would
look very much better at this point
if he had extended his congratu-
lations to Representative Clark in
Idaho, and Democratic national
committee in the forthcoming cleo
ton, as was done by National Dem
ocratic Chairman Farley. Surely,
that would have been sportsman
ship and the attitude of a good
loser.
1t may be, however-and this is
an implication from the indica-
lions of the day-that Mr.. Roose-
welt is trying deliberately to force
realignment of voters throughout
the country. He may be seeking to
drive radicals into his camp-in
case of third term urge-and the
conservatives into another camp.

Is Roosevelt's Forgettery
Working Well These Days?

Further, I am wondering wheth-
er Mr.. Roosevelt's forgettery works
so well that he fails to recall his ap-
peal In 1892 and again in 1896 for
Republicans to follow him, elect
him as the savior Of the country. It
seems to me if it is sauce for the
goose, the old gander can eat the
same food.
Further, there is q bit of logic
about the whole thing that ought to
be examined: Take the state of
Georgia, for example, where the
Democratic nomination means cleo
ton. A Republican in Georgia
would be sunk without q trace, as
far as selection Of someone to rep
resent him in congress Is concerned
if he wanted to have his real choice
recorded. His only course, If he pre-
ferred one Democratic candidate to
another, would be to enter the
Democratic p rimary and vote for
one of those candidates. Assume
that the Republican voter lives in
Idaho. II the voter felt that Meth
er Of the candidates for the Repub-

did not like it either, and he did the
CHILDISH thing Of emitting loud
and noxious squawk that the NOM
nation was taken from him by Re-
publicans. He said they went into
the Democratic primary and gave
Representative Clark their votes in
sufficient number to override the
Will OF e majority Of the Democrats
In the state. Senator Pope went to
Hyde Park, N. Y, to weep out his
story on the shoulders of Mr.. Roose-
welt, but it has not been made clear
whether 1t was the shoulders of the
President of the United States or
OF the head Of the Democratic
party. Anyway, there was weeping
at Hyde Park.

Takes Important Second
Step in Controversy

SsSP IA SVAASAVVCISy
And after that meeting and when
the tears were wiped away so there
would be no shifting, Mr.. Roose-
welt took the important second step
in the controversy. He denounced
the Republicans as having "violat-
ed public morals" by voting for Mr..
Clark in Democratic primary, al
though If the ballots were secret as
the law requires have been unable
to figure out how either Mr.. Roose-
welt or Mr.. Pope know that it was
the Republicans and not the Dem
ocrats who brought about Mr.. Pope's
defeat. Anyway, Mr.. Roosevelt
either as President of the United
States or as head of the Demo-
cratic party-condemned such ter
rible things as Republican votes in
a Democratic primary. Such q
course of action, the President or
the head of the Democratic party
said, constituted an attempt to de-
stroy the direct primary system. It
apparently did not matter to the
President or the head of the DEM
ocratic party that Mr.. Clark had
campaigned as a Democrat while
Senator Pope was sounding off as q
100 percent for the New Deal.
I have been wondering, since the
Hyde Park condemnation of the Re-
publicans, how Mr.. Roosevelt's po-
sition In the two phases of his
course can be reconciled. It never
has seemed to me-.to be so terrible
for the President or the head Of the
Democratic party Tor the head Of

by a direct endorsement of Law

Mr.. Roosevelt gave vicious politi-

O'Connor, in New York and attack
ed Senator Tydings in Maryland by
saying that Representative Davey
Lewis ought to have the Democrat
ic nomination.
In addition to these direct inter-
ferences in state primaries, Mr..
Roosevelt's subordinates - men like
Relief Administrator Hopkins and
Secretary Ickes horned into pri-
maries in Iowa, Oregon, Idaho and
elsewhere. They were well licked
in Iowa and Idaho, and 1t was the
result in the latter state that has
brought up the second stage Of the
controversy.
Idaho's Senator Pope used to say
that If any constituent wanted to
know his position on q given ques-
ton, it was necessary only to inquire
whether the President was for or
against 1t. Apparently the voters
in Idaho did not like that; they
preferred q senator to vote their
views rather than one who consist
emily voted the Presidents view.
Anyway, they nominated Repre-
sentative Clark, in their Democratic
primary. He had something in ex-
ces of $500 more votes than Mr..
Pope.
The licking administered to Sen
ator Pope did not taste well to the
President or the coterie Of New Deal

from those states since, I gather
that the voters in the primaries did
not know whether they were voting
to support the President Of the
United States or the head Of the
Democratic party.
