INDICATIVE OF HOW THE POLITICAL
 WIND IS BLOWING

Considerable is made these days of the waning public support of President Roosevelt and his policies especially is the cry heard from those who are not IT. sympathy with the Presidents efforts. IL has tone similar to that heard before the last Presidential election moaning tone which in 1886 turned out to be little else than hollow echo. What it will develop to be in this non-presdental years elections remains be seen but there is some fairly definite indication this time that the hue and cry is much louder than it is effective
 Probably the best evidence is found in the recent primary election in Florida There were four candi- dates seeking the Democratic Senatorial nomination in the grapefruit state. Among them was U. S. Senator Claude Pepper who asking reelection. Senator Pepper was and is a dyed-in- tha-wool sup porter of Franklin b Roosevelt In fact he was so universally recognized such that one Of his opponents during the course of the campaign labeled him the Roosevelt Rubber Stamp The Senator made his position clear in these words: T have sincerely and consciendously tried to uphold the hand of the man who trying to help you and whom you chose to serve as your leader by three to one majority Friends I proud of my record in Washington"
 The upshot was that Senator Pepper was re- nominated handy over his three opponents and this in view of the fact that one of the opponents Representative Mark Wilcox himself a Democrat but who did not see eye to eye with the President on a great many matters and had campalgned to ( ecrsa.n extent that premise. Nomination on the Demse.atc ticket in Florida is tantamount to election that Senator Pepper virtually certain of retaining his seat in the Senate
 Of course. Senator Peppers nomination is not complete gauge to President Roosevets popularity but it must be considered sort of weather-vane indicating which way the political wind is blowing. In this off-year election 34 Senate seats are to be refilled Seventeen of those seeking reelection out and out supporters of the President Senator Pepper was one of the IT. His easy victory is ndica tive that the smear Roosevelt campaign is not making progress comparative with the volume Of noise emanatng from of the oppostonist sources.
 Incidentally the Florida primary the second indication of Democratic strength in the nation this year. The first the Alaska primary in which the Democratic voters posd about two to one their Republican opponents, and in some places much heavier.

seems to dominate the labor movement. The P.-1 is of the same opinion great many others, tha the rank and file of labor is not in sympathy witt continual te-ups and disruption of business activity but it makes the important point that remedy mus come primarily from the rank and file in the forn of pressure on it's leaders.
 The Seattle newspaper gets over its thought unde the timely title, Cut Bait and Fishlp:
 The threat that a jurisdictonal dispute will tie up Alaska salmon operations after questions at issue between workers and opera tors have been settled, again shows the menace to the public of inter-union strife
 The public's main interest is not whether the workers who catch and process the fish are affiliated with the American Federation of Labor or the Committee for Industrial Or ganzation.
 IL wants to see the salmon caught and canned
 It wants to see the salmon industry retain its position, as producer and distributor, to the world of one of this nations most impor- tant food products
 Failure to operate this season, or for any considerable part of this season, would deal the industry and this region blow from which it could not recover fully for years.
 Competition today is between industries and products. Consumers weaned away from one product can be recovered only through years of intensive effort.
 The dispute in the salmon industry already has resulted in the loss of wages to workers, as well as in the loss of profits to operators.
 Already the evidence is accommodating that the delays have affected many lines of busi- ness indirectly connected with salmon opera tons
 From now on the public at large will suffer, in increasing measure, from any cessation of normal activities.
 The Post-Intelligencer does not believe the rank-and-file of organized labor reshes either the loss of wages or the loss of public confidence that is engendered by the con- tinued warfare.
 As soon as the rank-and-file inpresses its views upon labor leadership and insists upon a settlement not only of the immediate quar- rel in the fisheries industry but of the greater rift that divides the entire labor movement the better it will be for the public and for organized labor alike
