White Sees Roosevelt Facing
Third Term or Third Partv

. third party and nominate whom he
pleases. He probably can get third
term from the Democratic party. But
he cannot control the presidential
nomination Of the Democratic party.
With the nomination Of the nine
Senators who de1ied him, he is faced
with probable defeat in New York. At
most. he can only save . remnant Of
his New York political prestige. With
that loss Of prestige in the primary
fights this year, the control Of the
Democratic party Is most uncertain
IN New England. With New YorA
and New England drifting away from
the President, how can he rally the
insurgent Democrats to his banner
next year in Pennsylvania, in Illinois,
IN Indiana. In Missouri, In California,
IN Colorado, in Nevada, where the
State machines are manned by his
enemies? These last two are small
States, to be sure. But In the South
he has lost control Of the Democratic
machines In Texas, In Mississippi, in
Georgia, in Tennessee, in South Caro-
lima, In Virginia and in Maryland. Is
North Carolina dependable under Sen
ator Reynolds leadership? Can the
President get Louisiana without back
sheesh?
The President made his mistake
when he read the election returns.
He had accumulated q tremendous
majority. But 1t was only a group of
minorities entirely unrelated, and in
some cases these minorities were di-
vergent and antagonistic. For in.
stance. in those 100000 votes were
the Old South and the Northern Ne

insisting that the election be hello
before Oct 1 in order to qualify
for the grant and loan.
The proposed bonds would be
given to PWA as security for the
loan.
These funds were included in
the PWA original ALLEGATION for the
public power system, but the al
lotment was cut in 1887 because
PWA appropriations ran low, Chair
man Evan Hewes of the district
explained. Under the pending pro-
posal, parts of the project omitted
when that reduction was made,
will be built now.
These items include hydro
electric plant at drop on the
canal, two additional units for the
Brawley plant, and services for g.

Terms of the proposed PWA
grant and loan are the same as
the original offer. The grant OF
1855 900 is a direct gift. The loan
would be secured by revenue bonds,
to be paid only from sale of power.
The district is not required to make
any assessment against land; not
required to make any water changes
or to use any money from any
source except power revenue, to
retire the loan.
