of others, particularly that of Mr.. Paul
McNutt, who, while far more active ar
aspirant than any other, early declared
that he would be a candidate only if
Mr. Roosevelt were not.
$50
Within the last few days, there has
been here in Washington new impetus
given the McNutt movements. Partly
this is due to the conviction of some
of the ardent New Dealers that the
President definitely is not going to be
candidate, and partly to the inten-
sive work of the McNutt manage
ers, who read into that Presidential
jest the Presidents idea that the whole
third term business is joke and that
by keeping up the mystery for cou-
Pile of months longer he is going to
have the grandest kind of laugh upon
the whole journalistic profession when
he chooses to make plain and positive
what should have been plain from the
start.
At any rate, some of the most eX-
IRENE New Dealers very close to the
President personally are now part Of
the McNutt movement One or two Of
the strongest pro-Roosevelt writers
have followed suit and at the moment
the McNutt camp is full of enthusi-
asm. More clearly than ever his
friends feel he is now indicated as the
Roosevelt heir apparents. Certainly
there is no other who seems preferred
by Roosevelt, and if it is conceded
that Mr.. Roosevelt, though not himself
candidate, will be able to name the
candidate the McNutt position is very
good, indeed. None other has received
such marked favor; none other has so
completely subordinated himself to
the President.
Altogether, things look fairly
bright for this hard-boiled, entirely
selfish Indiana politician, except for
one thing-to-wit, the opposition of
Mr.. James A. Farley. Mr.. Farley
wisely refrains from talking about
candidates these days, but there is
no secret that he is not for Mr.. Nc
Mutt Moreover, it is doubtful
whether Mr.. Roosevelt or anyone else
could get Mr.. Farley for Mr.. McNutt.
Mr.. Farley certainly will have more
influence in the convention than any
other individual, and the Roosevelt

Third-Term Waggishness

Washington.
The recent waggishness of Mr.
Roosevelt on the subject of a third
term has had an interesting effect up
on political and journalistic support
ers in Washington, among whom the
movement to keep him in the White
House originated. For the most part
it has depressed them.
AS things are today, there remains
only one of the New Deal writer's who
still insists that a third term is Gin
evitable. 1.-TWO of the more conspicuous
Administration columnists have reach
ed the point of being annoyed by the
Presidents "frivolity" on the subject
and appeal to him to "come clean" In
stead, Mr.. Roosevelt inserts little trick
words in his speeches and laughs up
roariously over his smartness.
&**
His last jest was in reference to the
date for the dedication of the Hyde
Park Library, which is to be in Janu-
ary, 1871, when he will still be Presi,
dent, and which he expects to attend
as President. He was in great glee
over the fact that two or three report
ers had "bitten" by trying to read
some third term significance into that
date. Nose of the newspapers COM
pletely ignored it.
1t seems on the whole a pretty Zee
BILE form of wit to last anyone two
days, but it has deepened the belief,
held from the start by his more clear
| headed friends, that Mr.. Roosevelt has
no intention whatever of running
again, that he has already made his
plans as to what he will do after Jan,
uary, 1941, and that these will be re-
vealed soon after the first of the year
probably at the Jackson Day ban
quet in Washington. 1t is Impossible
for them to reconcile his waggish atti-
tude with any intent to break the old
est and most deeply cherished of Am
cream political traditions.
| **&
Of course there is an official group
here which will not relinquish third
term hopes until the convention, itself.
has formally nominated it's candidate
but the fact is that even this group is
finding it hard to continue taking seri-
ously a movement which Mr.. Roose-
welt has begun to treat with such face
tiousness. The net result of his latest
piece of waggishness has been to
stimulate talk about the candidates.

doing and where he is at all stages Of
the game. At this time his tall, smil-
ing figure stands squarely athwart
the McNutt path. At this time, en-
tirely loyal to Mr.. Roosevelt, he has
the deepest admiration for Secretary
Hull.

To Hear Debaters
Rousing Phrases Bring
Cheers From Oldsters
At Fair Ground Here
BY LOGAN JENKINS

A crowd of more than 100
gathered at the Imperial
fairgrounds Tuesday night,
good naturedly booed one
speaker and cheered the other IN
a pro and con discussion of the $50
Thursday proposition.
R. w. Hinton of Fresno, speaking
first on the issue, drew cheers from
the predominantly $50 Thursday
audience when his first words were:
Ham and eggs!"
From the audience came "You
said it!' and Alta boy!"
Hinton spoke vigorously, concen-
trating on rousing phrases rather
than logic and anticipated the con-
speakers arguments with such re-
marks as this:
my opponent will tell you in
few minutes that this measure will
break California. Don't believe
it,"
At one of these points his cane,
welded emphatically, broke in two.
Hinton was followed by Phil
knights of Ell Centro, who spoke
against the proposition. Pointing
out that the "meat is simply this:
whether or not this measure will
bring greater happiness to the peo-
pie of California, or prove fam
tastic delusion. :" Knights listed
his arguments as to why the plan
will not work
The audience remained good ma
tured but restless and hecklers sang
