After reading this last blast

a book by fellow called Goeb-

fellow claims that if you tell
a political lie that's big enough,
and keep on repeating it. peo-
pie will come to believe it. for
they will feel that no one would
dare tell such big lie unless it
were true.
Goebbels claims that this is

MURPHY HAS NO
CHANCE FOR 1910

Attorney General Murphy is
honest. aggressive and nom
political. He has initiated prose-
cutions against numerous politi-
cos once high in White House
favor. and there are even more
sensational cases on his desk.
But the pious Detroiter lacks the
flair for making political capital
out of his forays against the
Pendergssts, the Annenbergs, the
Johnsons.
Nobody envisases Mr.. Murphy
as 1910 candidate. although he
is a prime White House favorite.
His religion is against him, for
one thing. But he can be used
to knock Mr.. Dewey out of the
running. and that is what the
president is using him for.
