fed, however, if the party were to confer
on Farley the highest honor in its power.
In public Farley is saying nothing at
all about his candidacy, which. is shreyd
politics. With his friends he talks more
or less frankly. One Of his close associ-
ates here, now no longer connected with
the administration, recently quoted him
as saying Il will be the first Catholic
to be President of the United States. ,
And this friend who is also something of
politician, is convinced that Jim BE-
lieves just that
Even with his friends he does not talk
about what may happen when Roosevelt
finally makes up his mind about next
year. Farley has philosophy that helps
him in this respect: The worst things
never happen. His friends guess that if
Roosevelt should ask him to deliver his
delegates to Roosevelt-approved cand-
date, he would say no. He might even
argue that it would be impossible to turn
them over to third party. But if Roose-
velt tells his political weight-lifter that
he wants to run for a third term, then
the guess is that Farley will go along.
The habit of loyalty to "the boss is
deeply ingrained in this man who had
so much to do with the boss nomination.
Repeatedly Farley has expressed his
allegiance to and his admiration for
F. D. r. Moreover, as political realist,
he is acutely aware that the Democrat
who is nominated must have Roosevelt's
active support if he is to win. Some of
Farley's friends have assured him that
he will have Roosevelt in his corner when
it comes to final showdown. But how
ever that may be, if the President decides
he will run again, then the strong proba-
bility is that Farley will be found in his
familiar role In the Roosevelt corner.

His present campaign-in many re-
.spects that is the only word to describe
it's based on political friendships and
loyalties carefully built up over a period
OF ten years or more. AS Farley himself
often says, there is nothing accidental
in politics. Here is Farley in Behind
the Ballots telling of the job he did on
a cross country tour for Roosevelt in
1881:
Perhaps the role of political drum
mer had never before been attempted
on such wide scale or in such a plain
manner, and the experience gained on
the Pacific Coast trip did more than
anything else to give me a grip on ma
tional politics. An ability to grasp
the little human traits and homely quail
tiles that people like had enabled me
many years before to get start by be-
ing elected town clerk of Stony Point,

That is a description of the political
drummer of 1889 just as much as the
salesman of 1881. 1t is on those "in-
formal, easy-going friendships that Far
ley has built his career.
Worked to Prevent Pledging.
In 1881 Farley was working on local
politicos to prevent pledged delegations
to the 80 convention. He believed that
delegations unpledged either to rank
ing candidates or to "favorite sons"
would be easier to corral for his own
candidate, Roosevelt. At that time con-
vention rules required two-thirds
majority W IlOullIldtc, WlllCIl gave IIle

quently mentioned as candidate in 40,
the SO convention voted to change the
rule so that now mere majority can
nominate There may, of course, be
move to restore the two-thirds rule, but
it would be difficult for those who worked
for the change-in the interests of
Democratic control-to reverse their
stand four years later.
Looking forward to the convention in
the light of this change and from the
practical, Farleyian point of view Jim's
slate of delegates would line up some
what as follows: He would be confident
of virtually the entire New England dele
cation. In the New England States Or
ganization is of primary importance,
since the party has never had any ex-
tended hold on the mass of the voters.
All that Jim has to do-and he may we'll
have done 1t already-is to call up Joe

New Hampshire, let's imagine, and say,

Once again that astute political sales
man, James Aloysius Farley is off on a
cross-country tour. This is an intensive
glad-handing tour such as he made in
1881, Then he was selling Franklin D.
Roosevelt to the country Today he is
selling Jim Farley And what is more.
he is doing very thorough and efficient
job of it.
Farley is candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for President. If
Roosevelt were to declare tomorrow
against third term, then Farley, who
knows the political grassroots as no
other man in the country. could predict
within few delegates one way or the
other how the Democratic Convention
would vote year from next month On
an early ballot-perhaps the first ballot
there would be a substantial ma iority
for big Jim.
Roosevelt is just now the only uncer-
tainty in Farley's life What the Presi-
dent may say on that fateful day when
he calls his Postmaster General (who is
also chairman of the party over to the
White House for a political showdown
Jim isn't even guessing. One thing is
certain about that meeting: When Farley
walks into the Presidents study he will
have substantial number of Demo-
cratic delegates to the 40 convention in
his pocket
To Speak Often on Tour.
The poStma ster CeperoIe precopt tour
will take him to San Francisco to pre-
side on Postal Day at the fair there But
both going and coming he will make an
astonishing number of speeches and pub
lie appearances. And in between times
on this 17-day tour he will sit down
with the boys who control the party
machinery for the practical political
talk that is Jim's speciality.
Although today is Sunday, Farley is
wasting no time. He is speaking this
noon at exercises at the Mexico Military
Institute at Mexico, Mo. From there he
goes on to Kansas City, where he has
about an hour to wait between trains.
Ordinarily he would have spent that
hour profitably with Boss T. j. Pender-
SdSI, UuI EtIuelSdSl S lax TROUBLES may
compel some change in his plans.
In Cleveland he talked to railroad
tralnmen. In Columbus, Ohio he ad-
dressed regional conference of Demo-
cratic women. In San Francisco he will
speak before a convention of Young
Democrats. Tuesday morning he will get
off the train at Oklahoma City to be
the principal speaker at a breakfast
rally to be attended by large number
of faithful Democrats. At numerous
points along the way out and back there
will be postmasters conventions requir-'
ing Jim's presence, such as the one that
took him to st. Louis on Friday, to
Rock Island, Ill, and Des Moines, Iowa,
yesterday. Altogether in the II days he
will probably shake hands with $4,000
people and be heard by two million or
more.
This is the essence of the Farley tech
nique There is nothing mysterious about
it. Jim himself has explained in detail

CHRISTMAS SEAL
 GROSS EXPLAINED
There's a Difference Red Cross, Tuberculosis
 Emblem

In response to several inquiries that have been received by the AL aska Tuberculosis Association re- garding the American Red Cross and the double barred cross of the tuberculosis Christmas Seal Sale Campaign now going on, Harry G. Watson. President of the Associa- tion, today issued the following statement
 'In 1920, by mutual agreement, the alliance between the American Red Cross and the National Tuber- culosis Association was dissolved. This alliance had been formed in 1910. Since then the double-barred cross has appeared on all of the National Tuberculosis Association Seals which are now known as Tuberculosis Christmas Seals and not as Red Cross Seals.
 Tt was in 1907 that Christmas Seals were first sold in the United States, in Wilmington, Del, by Miss Emily BiSsell who wished to raise funds for little open air hospi- tai, where poor victims of tuber- culosis could be brought back to health. With $40, Miss Bissell had 50,000 stamps printed. That was the basis of the campaign as We know it, campaign that has done so much to arouse a nation against disease.
 Tt is hoped with this explana- tion some of the confusion will be avoided"

The Story Of The Gilbert Hotels

How has he done it?
Hubert Gilbert was born in a
small hotel in Stephensport, Ken
lucky, a little more than fifty
years ago. His birthplace still
stands; it is used for a storage
house at the present time. His
father died when he was very
young. When he was fourteen, he
entered the army, and shortly
thereafter his mother passed
away.
He served in the army for six
years, and on coming out went to
Leavenworth, Kansas, where he
got a job in a grocery store on
a very meagre salary. But his
business ability began to loom
and within a few years he was
owner of a grocery store. In
later years he entered the real
estate business, was at one time
manufacturer of brooms in
Louisville, KY, and then came to
Florida to make an enviable rep
utation in the real estate and
development business, only to be
severely challenged by the boom
and subsequent depression when
the boom busted"
His entrance into the business
which was later to become the
major work of his life was quite
by accident. In 1927 he pur-
chased the Arcade Building in
Kissimmee, Florida and remodel
ed it. The building was a block
long, three stories high, and con-
tanned a theatre, hotel, offices
! and stores. He leased out the
hotel for two years and was so
harrassed with responsibility and
complaints from the lessees that
they couldn't make any money
that he took over the operation
of the hotel himself. He resolved
to make a profit on his invest
ment and soon found himself
well acquainted with the various
phases of the hotel work and
rather fascinated by the business
So the years told their story
He took over the old Park in
Jacksonville in the early 1905
and later added the Strand in
Daytona. BY 1884 he had taken
over six houses, renovated, re-
named, promoted them. BY 1885
the number had risen to eleven,
by 1896 to fifteen, by 1888 to
twenty-seven, and now-in 1899

Several years ago H. Gilbert,
whose reputation as a business
man was already established, an
nounced that he would operate
the few hotels he had already
taken over on a $1.-$1.50 rate
basis. Hotel men knew that it
was the Gilbert policy to operate
clean and reputable houses, so
when he announced his rates they
stuck their tongues in their
cheeks and stood by, waiting to
let him learn his lesson.
If we take a look at the Gilbert
properties and the balance sheets
now we see that Mr.. Gilbert has
learned his lesson, but it hasn't
been the one we expected him to
learn. He not only operates the
houses he started with when he
instituted his expansion program,
but he has added more and more
hotels each year as the profits
began to come in, and now oper-
ates thirty-two hotels in that

satellites repeatedly pointed out
that an "Aryan" Nazi was a
little bit better than anyone else.
Each little German boy was
taught that when he grew up he
could lick five times his weight
in hybrid Frenchmen or Ameri-
cans.
Did they believe it? They GER
tainly did. But their ideas are
changing, for no matter how you
butter it, the victory of the three
British light cruisers over the
pocket battleship Graf Spec was
the victory of an inferior force
over a superior force, according
to Navy standards.
One naval officer here told me:
1.-THE Graf Spec should have sunk
all three British ships in As min
utes. She had the gun power to
do it."
1t is interesting to note, too,
that the traditions of the Ameri-
can Navy definitely call upon the
commander of a ship to fight

damage whatsoever, no matter
how slight, upon the enemy"

A few years ago, the markets Of
Washington, D. c., were featuring
tileish and there were many recipes
suggested for its use. We see it
listed only on a few menus today, yet
it is good boiled or baked, and makes
a most satisfactory chowder or
smoked fish.
The tilefish is easily recognized
because of its brilliant upper colors
of blush or olive green blending into
the lovely yellow or rose of its sides
and the white underneath. The head
has a tinge of red and the cheeks
are pure white. The sides and back
of the pectorals are decorated with
golden dots. The adipose flap back
of the head is greenish yellow, and
this will assist you greatly in identi-
flying your tilefish. The anal fin is
rather misty pink with purple and
blush iridescence, and the pectorals
are soft light sooty brown, with re-
Elections of purple at their base.
From this description you can we'll
imagine what a colorful fish it is
when alive for all fish lose their ex-
quisite, bright coloring when out OF
the water for even a short time).
Fifty pounds seems to be an unu-
sual weight for this fish, though
records show several to have tipped
