FRIDAY JUNE g. 1889
DRAFT ROOSEVELT
DRIVE DOOMED
[ Riverside Press

The campaign to re-elect President
Roosevelt for third term, just inaugur-
ated by his cabinet and made vocal by
Secretary of the Interior Harold L.
lckes, is evidence, if any were needed.
that the announcement Vice President
Garner would seek the nomination mark
ed a definite break between adminstra-
tiOn Democrats and anti-adminiStration
Democrats.
Even before the publication of the
bald declaration by Mr.. lckes that he
wanted Roosevelt for third term, it
was foreseen by astute political observ-
erS that the decision of the Garner fac
tion was more than party protest
against possible breach by Mr.. Roose-
welt of the Washington and jefferson no.
third-term tradition.
AS one commentator phrascd it, 1T Is
a declaration of war by the old-time
Democrats against the New Deal, no
matter who its standard bearer in 1910"
Of like feather with the presumption
of Mr.. 1ckeS is the announcement of the
purpose of the President to leave the
middle of this month on a tranScOntinen-
tai journey, a junket that has all the
implications of third-term build-up.
This bold activity on the part of New
Deal leaders would seem to indicate that
lney nave become alarmed over the re-
suits of rcent polls which place Garner
far ahead of other party eligibles, wheth-
er pro-Roosevelt or anti-Roosevelt.
Postmaster General Farley has been
viewed by many of his party as the only
candidate that might meet with the ap-
proval of both factions, the cOnserva-
tives and the New Dealers.
While regarded as more or less con-
servative at heart, Farley has always
been strong party man." and it is
conceded that he would do all in his
power to appease the New Dealers, al
though he has disagreed with the Presi-
dents policies on several occasions. Now,
however. it appears that the situation
has in it many of the elements of the
party split that resulted in the defeat
of the Republicans in 1912.
Should Senator Vandenberg or some
other leader fail in returning the Re-
publican party to power in 1910, it is
reasonable to predict that the rank and
file of the party would prefer to take
their chances with John Nance Garner
than with the man who aspires to fill
a third term in the White House.

The British embassy is different,
Their Majesties' Embassy
That embassy is at the extreme

It's a palace of an embassy. sur,
rounded by acres of parkage.
The only trouble with it, from
the standpoint of privacy, is that
this parkage is in the midst of
privately-oWned real estate, the
owners of which are at perfect lib
erty to rent out the realty to folk
who are willing to pay fancy prices
for a look.in on the king and
queens festivities.
And the king and queens blow
out initially was publicized as a
garden party''-an outdoor affair;
not so exclusive as the exclusive
White House dinner.
Oh. mol Nobody could get onto
the embassy grounds without an
invitation.
But he could climb a tree at their
edge, and look at the party.
These independent real estate
owners have given the G.men, the
state department and others the
horse laugh.

servicers have had their side.

BY CHARLES p. STEWART

THE BRITISH embassy natur.
ally was chosen as the principal
place for King George and Queen
Elizabeth to meet notabilitieS dur
ing their short stay in Washington.
Quite as naturally the White House
was picked as the proper place for
them to be entertained, but it was
recognized that they would have
to put on a counter entertainment.
The embassy manifestly was the
correct place for it.
Now, the White House is a much
more controllable place than the
British embassy. It's down town
Washington. Its grounds are not
very large. A Gordon of troops, if
necessary. can be drawn around
them Manifestly only compare
lively limited crowd can get in. In.
vited guests credentials can be eX-
amined. UNLIMITED butterS-in can
be kept at a distance. There are
no adjoining premises that police,
secret Servicers, G-men and fire
for the occaSion) can't patrol eff
fectively. Numerically speaking, a
White House dinner isn't such q
whale of ali affair, anyway. It's an
awful jam, of course. Still, it has
its physical limits. 1t was ap-
parent from the first that their
majesties, once inside the executive
mansion after their procession,
would be corked up moderately
tightly-unable to do their eating
and to rest over night without spy

NEWSPAPERS IN
The SCHOOL ROOM
San Rafael independently

The boy and girl in school studying
history is in a particularly tough spot
today as the world rushes so fast and
furiously about them. Changes in the
map of the world, and the boundaries of
nations are changing SO fast that before
the books are off the presses and out of
the binderies, the map plates are out
moded.
1t is there that the daily newspaper
enters the picture and an increasing
number of teachers are recognizing the
value of the daily newspaper as "text-
book" In Chester, Pa, the school board
recently discovered that children are
relying upon the maps and current news
reports in the daily papers for their
instruction and subscribed to the home
city paper for every history class.
That's a good sign, good that the
youngsters are taking an interest in what
is happening around them and good that
they and their instructors are resOrtng
to today's news, in preference to the
studied findings of historians, whose
deductions and opinions are out-dated
or proven false before they much more
than reduce them to writing.
