The Political Mill
Roosevelt's Purge Gets First Test Next Tuesday.
G. O. P. Becomes Factor in Struggle.

They are talking now about running
Pope as an independent candidate
for the Senate against the regularly
nominated Democratic and Republi-
can candidates.
The voters in Idaho wear the party
label lightly. That is one reason why
President Roosevelt was able to carry
the State in 1882 and 1896 against
Republican opponents.
The President, by his personal en-
try into these congressional election
contests, has done more than any
other person to foster the coalition"
idea so strongly advanced by Senator
Arthur H. Vandenberg Of Michigan
If the President Is determined to
have elected only those Senators and
Representatives whom he desires, he
may be sure that his opponents will
make common cause to defeat these
presidential pets either in primary
elections or in the general elections.
Domination Becomes the Issue.
One by one the four men whom
the President has gone out Of his way
to purge" have accepted the chal-
lenge Senators George, Tydings,
Smith and Representative O'Connor.
Senator Tydings was the latest to
pick up the gage. To Tydings-as it
was to O'Connor and George-the
effort of the President is to dominate
the legislative branch of the Govern
ment. 1t Is on all fours with the
Presidents attempt year ago to
dominate the judicial branch OF the
Government. Tydings said that the
election of rubber stamp members of
the National Legislature will mean
that the people are no longer free:
that there will be just one voice, just
one man in control. The Democrats
marked for the slaughter by Roose-
velt are making this the main issue
Of their campaigns. 1t is, after all,
an issue that most people can under
stand.
Every one, however, can under
stand when President of the United
States asks the people to elect Sena-
tors and Representatives who will do
as they are told by the President
1t may be that the majority of the
voters will DO as the President asks
them to do. 1t has been estimated
that nearly a third of the entire
population of the country is receiv-
ing some kind Of bonus or pay from
the Federal Treasury today.
Landon Definitely Out.
Mr.. Landon Is writing his per-
sonal impressions of a presidential
campaign. In his first article he
said fatty that he was not candi-
date for the presidential nomination
in 1910, that he would not accept a
nomination II 1t was handed to him.
That takes him finally out OF the
race-even If he had been consider
ing the possibility of running again,
which he was not. Perhaps Mr.. Lam
don's fiat assertion he would not
again be candidate may move Her
bert Hoover, former President, to make
similar statement. 1t has been
charged in a number of quarters that
Mr.. Hoover was manauvering to re-
gain control of the party machinery
and win for himself another presi-
Dental nomination.

licans and upset the administration s
schemes, as indeed they did in the
Supreme Court fight and the executive
agency reorganization bill.
Lost Veto Power.
Mr.. Roosevelt has presumably con-
sidered the Southerners the No. l
"dumbells" in American politics,
especially since 1886 at Philadelphia,
when the Southerners sleepily al
lowed themselves to lose their veto
power in nominating conventions by
permitting the two-thirds rule to be
abrogated.
The trend toward one-man control
OF the Democratic party is unmis-
taxable, but also is the trend toward
revolt, and, when the two trends in
terms OF votes are measured this au-
tumn, either the Democratic party
will be hopelessly split, or one-man
control will be beaten so badly as to
remove all doubt Of what could hap
pen if the third-term crusade is car
ried forward by the officeholders who
fear the loss OF their jobs in the event
Of a Roosevelt retirement.
Selfish politics is the main consid-
GRAFTON of the group in power, but it
is a safe bet that, in the January
session Of Congress, the political royal
lists OF the White House coterie will
find themselves faced on every side
by members of Congress who, having
tasted the wrath Of the administra-
ton and having come through un-
scathed, will encourage their COL
leagues to stand up against one-man
government and political autocracy.

YHAT to do about the Indians
M has been perennial poser!
v v A new prosperity for the
Indians Is at hand. THE
new prosperity Is being built on an
equitable distribution Of land, livestock
and opportunity"
These words were expressed by John
Herrick, able assistant to the Commits
sioner Of Indian Affairs. Mr.. Her.
rick has the integrity which accom-
panies faith in the new order Of con-
servation and utilization Of natural re-
sources for benefit Of all, rather than
the profit Of few. He believes that
the Federal Government must lead
the way in insisting on proper long,
term, socially motivated land-use"
He believes that the Indian Service
offers an opportunity, such as is
offered by no other Government serv-
ice. to establish leadership in this
new order.
What Mr. Herrick articulates In his
low, Well-modulated voice, has both
the sound and the substance Of sin
cerity. His words have a humor and
humanity intermingled to make an
honest and stimulating blend. He has
the courage Of man, whose convic-
tions once warred with his Job and
won. Reporter, editorial writer, Wash
1ngton correspondent for the Chicago
Tribune for IL years, Mr.. Herrick be-
came New Deal convert, resigned his
position to enter Government service
in Subsistence Homesteads, Depart
ment OF Interior When that delicate,
but potentially sound administration
brain-child was absorbed into Rural
Resettlement, Mr.. Herrick resigned,
became an executive assistant in
P. W. A. and thence to Indian Affairs
in 1885
Mr. Herrick had reputation for
potent pen-pictures during his writing
days. He invokes potent word pictures
now. They are the result of actual
personal contacts. The invading whites
for years have pursued policies calcu-
lated to discourage successful Indian
assimilation. The Indian cannot, does
not want to recapture the old life, and
AiS SehiiAAoG 4ifC VIC NlilGC lllt.
He is creating future that will blend
with yesterdays traditions, today's
realities, tomorrow's hopes" as Mr..
Herrick puts it. 1T is human chal-
| lenge," he says.
Mr.. Herrick says it is surprising that
the Indian has any individuality left.
Despite generations Of drilling In the
white idea of selfish aquisitional de-
merit, the Indian. Mr. Herrick says,
persists in regarding wealth as a tool
for living, rather than an end in
| itself"
Mr.. Herrick's home town is Chicago.
He saw service early with the Norton
HarJes ambulance service in 1917 and
for Is months with the A. E. F. He
is proud of being president OF the
Scottish Deerhound Club of America.
He lives an interesting life with his
wife, the well-known and beloved
Genevieve Forbes Herrick, journalist
and writer; his prize-winning deer
hounds, and an excellent mint bed, in
a tree-hidden house in Arlington.
