AS President. party head,-anE father, Mr.
Roosevelt's next destination will be Fort
Worth, where his son Elliott is a big oil
and radio man. Now Elliott is not running
for any Office, but he may be running for
cover if his father decides to take up in
person the matter of speech made by
Elliott early this month.
AS quoted by Fort Worth paper, Elliott
seems to have delivered radio 'fireside
chat" one early June evening in which he
waxed bitterly critical of Government pros
ecution of oil companies for monopolistic
practices, concluding with a hope and
prayer that ways and means be found ito
aid business enterprise and not to de-
feat it,"
Senator Alva Adams, Colorado Demo-
crat and influential member of the i'm
portant Committees on Appropriations and
Banking and Currency, will be awaiting
the presidential train in Pueblo. Thus far,
the White House has not indicated how it
looks upon either Mr.. Adams or even upon
Pueblo, but both are undoubtedly some-
what apprehensive.
Except for voting against the court bill
and having tendency toward caution with
regard to spreading the Federal dollars,
Senator Adams has been reasonably regu-
lar in his New Deal leanings. Also he
holds very f1attering Endorsement from
Secretary Ickes. Opposing him for the
nomination, however, is the liberal Judge
Benjamin Hilliard who recently chatted
happily at the White House.
All in ALL this Colorado situation looks
so tough that Mr.. Roosevelt may just stick
to being President while in Pueblo.
Through Utah no speeches are planned.
but friendly smile and wave are expect
ed on behalf of Senator Ebert Thomas,
PROFESSIONAL liberal and chairman of the
Committee on Education and Labor.
Without undue haste the presidential
party will walk into another valley of

At the current writing, the 74-year-
old William Gibbs McAdoo, Dear Mac
to the President, is seeking renomina-
ton against two principal opponents. One
OF the latter Sheridan Downey, had some

crusade for elderly opulence. Mr.. Downey
poled a significantly large number of votes
when he ran for Lieutenant Governor with
Upton Sinclair, and he is now bidding for
the support of all liberals, left wingers,
lrreconcilables and others.
There is little doubt, however, that Mr.,
Roosevelt will discharge his responsibilities
of party leadership in support of the elderly
and thoroughly New Dealish Mr.. McAdoo.
In fact, the greatest puzzle involving Cali
fornia is centering on the gubernatorial
race where at least seven candidates are
fighting vigorously for the Democratic NOM
ination. Two of them, former Controller of
Currency j. F. T. O'Connor and Repre-
sentative John F. Dockweiler, have made
valiant efforts to convince their public that
they have White House blessing but the
fact is not that plain.
After ranging between San Francisco and
Los Angeles, Mr. Roosevelt will board q
Navy cruiser at San Pedro about July l6
for spell Of fleet reviewing and fishing,
interspersed with luncheon with President
Juan Demosthenes Arosemena of Panama
at Panama City.
Coming through the canal, the President
plans to debark at either Mobile, Ala, or
Savannah, Ga.
