the Presidents failure to have his

Of the President. That determination
would be to control the selection Of his
successor. And If it appears that the
Democratic delegates to the next ma

he might deem it necessary to make the
race for the nomination himself.

The chances are that the Democrats
in number Of States will have their

has taken place, it would be a strange
thing II the Maryland delegation
turned out tn be for Roosevelt for a
third term, or the South Carolina,
Georgia. Iowa, Missouri and Indiana
delegations for that matter.
The Democrats have been slow to
say anything that would appear to put
them in opposition to the President,
whether for third term or anything
else. The Presidents failure, however,
to defeat Senators who have opposed
him will stiffen the backbones, not

successfully defied, as a "weirc

string" business men to obtain
monopoly and low wages.

Deal originated among business
men of a certain type" not poll
ticians.
Cameron explained in a radio
address last night what he meant
by this type of business man by
saying:
"There are two types Of busi-
ness man-the man who makes
business and the man who is
made by business. To the first
type, his business is his life, his
character, his service; to the
second, his business is mostly
his meal ticket and social ped
estal.
"The first will sacrifice al
most anything rather than prin-
ciple; the second will sacrifice
almost anything for business.
It is this second-string, man
the man who was made by busi-
ness-who is willing to shoulder
his responsibilities on govern
ment and who takes a promi-
nent part in weird political
schemes of planned economy"
