These experts were told that there would be

Farley, 81 Today, Refroins
\ From 40 Commitment

States enthusiastic words were said
in behalf of Mr.. Farley himself as
possible presidential candidate.
More than once, also, he has been
mentioned as a potential candidate
for Vice President. He has said
nothing publicly for himself on
either score. What he said at Will
liams. Ariz.. was somewhat typical
of how far he has gone toward COM
mitting himself:
Il am we'll satisfied with the sit
uation for 1910, and I am convinced
the people will want a continuation
of the Roosevelt administration S
policies The people appreciate
what Mr.. Roosevelt has done for
them"
Few expect him to mention any
wish Of his own until after the
President has disclosed his thoughts
about 1910. for Mr.. FarleY's loyalty
to the President has never been
questioned.
During the 1888 campaign. when
Mr. Roosevelt sought to defeat three
Democratic Senators. Mr.. Farley
held aloof. He is credited with hav-
ing kept the friendship of those on
both sides of the battle.
In that respect his position has
not changed in recent months. His
friends are strewn thickly through
all sections of the Democratic ranks.
Many Of them are wondering what
will be the circumstances under
which he comes to his SD birth an
niversary year from today-just in
advance of the conventions at which
the standard bearers for the next
campaign are chosen.

Postmaster General Farley is 81
years old today and though sur
rounded by speculation over his
aims, has not climbed out on any
limb in regard to the 1910 Presi-
Dental campaign.
The crisp-speaking. headed
chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee is just back from
a 17-day cross-country tour. Some
said he went after delegates for
himself. Others said he was trying
to nail down a third-term nomina-
ton for President Roosevelt. Still
others argued that it was journey
of political analysis and appraisa,
with mind to wiping out some OF
the disputes within the Democratic
party.
Whatever he said in the dozens
of talks he had with Democratic
leaders who came to his hotel rooms
after his speeches. and who rode
trains with him through the Middle
and Far West, he came back with
the word:
1T is futile TO talk about candi-
dacies for 1910 until the President
makes known whether he intends to
be A candidate for reelection"
Mr.. Farley. who as Democratic
chairman has guided two presiden-
tial campaigns for Mr.. Roosevelt
left the impression with many poll
ticians that the President could have
a third-term nomination if he want
ed it. Quite a few ardent New Deal
ers have urged Mr.. Roosevelt tc
take it.
