states went for Herbert Hoover IN
1928, but il is mighty difficult TO
prove from that fact that they may
do so again in the near future.
No Religious Issue Nor
Prohibition Problem Noic
In the first place. there was the
religious issue. which incidentally
was primarily responsible for Her
bert Hoover's carrying New York
as we'll as the southern states in
question
There will be no religious issue to
drive the southern and border states
away from the Democratic party if
Roosevelt runs again.
Prohibition, which did figure some
in 1928, will not be an issue.
But also important, though not
generally appreciated. is that the
men who led the revolt against
Smith in the South, almost without
exception, committed political sui
eide.
So il is really fair assumption,
and based on the best possible
political logic, 10 count all the south
ern states for Roosevelt even if the
third term issue is involved.
There are 1876 electoral votes in
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Geor-
gia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississip-
pi, North and South Carolina, Ten
nessee, Texas and Virginia, Mary
land, Missouri, and Oklahoma would
give 81 more. making the total 1863.
In the so-called Republican swing
of 1888 New York went Democratic
by more than 100000 for both sena-
tors, both representatives at large,
in fact for every statewide office
except governor. California also
went overwhelmingly Democratic.
These two states, with Wisconsin,
roll up 81 more electoral votes
which Roosevelt would not have to
be unduly optimistic to count as
sure for him-if the La Follettes
are with him. That makes ESQ, and
he would have to pick up only 16
scattering electoral votes to win the
266 necessary for election
La Toilette amendment 10
Income Tax Lac Gains Fauor
The La Toilette amendment to
the income tax law, reducing ex-
emptions, bringing in a much broad
er base, and of course increasing
the tax every Individual would pay
because his exemption would be
less, is going to become law even
tually.
For the second time the senate
has approved the idea, and then
backed away from it for purely tenn
porary emergency reasons. This
time the first vote was 80 TO 81 for
the amendment. But when it was
realized that the amendment had
been adopted. and that this would
delay passage of the tax bill until
there could be a perhaps lengthy
conference with the house, Senator
Millard E. Tydings of Maryland
changed his vote. This resulted in
tie, which defeats any amend
ment.
But the point is that the govern
ment must have the money. There
Is no possibility that government
spending will decrease anything like
enough to bring receipts and ex-
penditures within striking distance
IN the next two years. II is now a
demonstrated fact that there is a
majority sentiment in the senate for
the La Toilette idea.
Senator Robert M La Toilette has
been battling for five years for this

ings are rarely personal.
Johnson, of course, is outraged at
the idea of lending a lot of the
taxpayers money to nations which
have defaulted loans-even if they
we're not war loans. He does not
approve the idea of lending money
abroad to make work here.
Then there is the little matter of
the high-speed toll roads. 1t comes
within few weeks after the bureau

study of this whole situation to con-

Adding to the weakness is that
there is not even one feature which
appeals to the economy bloc, where
as the whole thing stirs up those
who fought the idea of increasing
the federal national debt limit.
Making Gestures OF Good
Will Toluard the La Follettes
1t is easy to underestimate the
political Importance, especially
looking toward the now almost GER
tainty that Franklin g Roosevelt
will seek third term, of the recent
administration gestures of good will
toward the La Follettes. 1t just
may turn out that Wisconsin's IL
electoral votes will mean the diff
ference between four more years
Of Roosevelt and Republican Pres
ident.
Of course nothing will make much
difference if the hope of the Repub-
Leans that the tide has turned
against the New Deal is based on
reality. But that is far from a GER
tainty. Indeed recent polls would
seem to indicate that the ups and
downs of Roosevelt's popularity re-
semble corkscrew more than the
straight line the Republicans like to
project.
Actually, in 1898, the Democrats
carried the country--as far as cleo
toral votes are concerned. That
is they carried enough states, had
there been presidential election,
to have elected their ticket.
At a recent Washington dinner
party very prominent Virginian
declared, over the coffee, that if
Roosevelt ran for third term the
Old Dominion would 60 Republican.
That particular gentleman is GER
tainly far better qualified than the
writer to judge Virginia sentiment,
but the writer does MOI believe he

MILWAUKEE, Wis, June 16.
(UP)-Officials of the United Au-
tomobile Workers local announced
today that a tentative agreement
for settlement of the strike at the
Allis- Chalmers Manufacturing COM
pany plant would be submitted to
the UAW membership tomorrow for
ratification or rejection.
Terms of the agreement were not
