Farley Has Party Control
Locked Up In His Own Safe


Locked Up In His Own Safe
1t has been noted. repeatedly, how
the arms embargo debate has found
many Of the anti-administration
Democrats aligned with the Presi-
dent, favoring repeal. Most OF the
senators whom President Roosevelt
sought to purge" from the Demo-
cratic party believe with the Chief
Executive that the embargo OUGHT
to be repealed. Some few OF the ar
dent Roosevelt supporters are stand
ing against repeal. The interesting
fact Is that the intra-party row.
among the Democrats, has had NO
effect upon the stand taken by the
party members in the embargo con-
troversy. And, thus, there has been
considerable speculation whether
there Is to be q healing OF the
wounds. I think there win not be.
The differences seem too deeply
seated.
However, that may be, It can be
said now that Big Jim" Farley.

State Democratic committee In adj

himself with the Characterization

old party whip was brought into
play.
But all Of the changes that have
taken place In the country's thought
have had one reaction In Washing

have reported to you before how the

ance Of President Roosevelt,s elec-
ton to third term. They were
rubbing their hands and licking
their chops because they saw them
selves certain to continue in their
Jobs, exercising great power. The
lack Of enthusiasm for their plans
has left them with nothing to do but
NOPE and sulk. Their strategy has
been blown up under their own
noses. They do not know what to
do about It.
The question that now confronts
the country from q political stand
point, IS whether the European war
viii run six months or year or
six years. The answer to the ques-
ton IS vital to the politicians.
It IS especially important to those
who would draft" Mr.. Roosevelt
to run for q third term, and I think
it Is being studied with grea. care
by such men as Postmaster General
Farley and Vice President Garner.
It IS being studied with equal care

citlzells In the current case, it can
be told in two sentences A few
weeks ago, the big shots Of govern
ment were saying: possibly" we
can keep out of war; the present
statement is.that probably" we can
keep out of the war It is a vital
difference =
The reason for this IS obvious.
People have made known their feel

they are determined and united on
the one proposition, namely, that we
must not get tangled up with Eu-
ropes power politics. Further. ex-
lstence of this sentiment has been
thoroughly reflected in congress and
those who would willingly toss out
armies into the flame have begun to
get scared about their own hides.

I must qualify that statement that
all of the big shots have toned down
their remarks. Several continue
to shout in an inflammatory way.
The best known of these is Louis
Johnson, assistant secretary Of war.
It is unnecessary for me to discuss
Johnson's unwise statements. I can
quote a real authority, for Senator
Bennett Clark, the Missouri Demo-

1910 License Plates
To Be Issued Jan. 2

At a recent meeting of the
County Assessors held in Phoenix,
1t was decided not ii issue b e
1910 license plates until the Sec
end day of January 1910, inasmuch
as there had been suites filed to
contest the constitutionality of
the lieu tax law enacted by the
last session of the legislature.
Ordinarily the plates have been
placed on sale In years past, on
the first of December, thereby
allowing a full sixty days for the
issuance of license plates. Even
with the full sixty days allowed
many automobile owners would ne
glect buying their plates, with the
result that they would pay double
the fee which is ordinarily assess
ed after a thirty day period is
past from the first of January.
Mr.. Lynn Farley, ccounty asses
sor, of Pinal county, in a state.
ment today said: "If the motorist
will apply for his plates as soon
as possible after they are placed
on sale. January second, we be-
lieve that we can get the work
done with the minimum confus
sion, providing we get the CO
operation of the motorist. In past
years the mdtorist have paid a
penalties due to h own
lethargy. So come early and avoid
the rush.
