 "This is going to lead 8 dirty political fight" he said. "The peO- pie will tell falsehOOds or refuse to answer the census takers ques- tiOns. As a result, the census will be destroyed. 1t will be q joke" Tobey said he was mot impressed by the census bureaus claim that 1t would be difficult now to eliminate the questions which 10000 enumer- ators will begin asking April ?. He claimed that the bureau need only advise its l04 area managers and 520 district supervisors that the questions should not be asked. The cost of such step, he said. would be "infinitesimal."
 Meanwhile, census director W. L. Austin, who has spent % Of his 70 years with the census bureau, rec mained calm.

That sounds easy \ think f0 Rake to be President" reflected the young man as he endeavOred with great industry to twist the dogs tail into . square knot.
 sHgo," said Daddy, "try sOme- thing else" 'Tf you become Presi. dent, find the banks closed and facing ruin and yet manage to save them 1t won't be long before the bankers are calling you all kinds of names. If you try to save Che stock market from a repeti- tion of the collapse of 1929 you'n be blamed for too much inter- ference by Che government. If you restore foreign trade you'll be charged with running American industry. If you dare pledge your self Co the Constitutional guaFan- tees of civil liberties, you'll be called . Communist and find noses turned upward"
 "Okay, Daddy" said the family pride as he did his utmost to dis prove the law of gravity by bal- ancing himself on his nose on the arm of the living room chair, "but isn't 1t easy to become gov- ernor?"
 T don't think there's anyone more surprised over how easy it is to become governor than the gen. tleman who now sits in the big seat at Hartford" said Daddy. "A newspaper publisher, preferably from Waterbury, and three or four other fellows fight all night for the nomination; then they get tired and rive 1t to you because they figure the party can't win anyway. And, phoof, you're norn- mated. You go around then, mourning aloud the great sacrifice you've made because of your loy- alty to the party, find the other party has decided to fight within Its own ranks, and get elected. There's nobody more surprised than you are, except for the gen. tle:nen, including the newspaper publisher, who'd wanted to be nominated in the first place."
 'Ts 1t a hard job?", inquired the young man as he carefully dissec- ted the radio set.
 Mot too hard," answered Dad dy. "You smile for the cameras, get . state policeman to drive your car everywhere in a great hurry, tell the people to drive very care- fully and give fatherly advice Over the radio. It helps if you get a good slogan like There is no substitute for a good job in pri- vate industry" repeat it until peO- pie expect you to say it as autO- matically as you say 'HellO,' and get . nice national committeeman to build you up. If employment in your state shows gain you say sSee what our friendly administra- AiOn has dOne,' but if jobs begin to decrease you either say That's g lie or chant piOusly .''My, look what the New Deal has done to our beloved state.'"
 The young man paused long enough in the operation of trans ferring his left shoe to the right foot and vice versa to ask: "How do you get to be mayor, Daddy?"
 "In Waterbury" Daddy respon- ded, "the principal qualification is to be a Democrat. You announce that you're willing to be nominat- ed, or for that matter, you don't even have to. You just have the right people back of you, depend- ing on what year it is, and you get the nomination. Then you sit back and follow the advice of one of the shrewdest leaders the Dem- ocratic party ever had here. He used to say Never mind the talk ing. Just give the Republicans a start and they'll make enough mistakes to make sure of your election"

Daddy" asked the political writer's son and heir during a lag in the story-telling period, ''how do yo6 get to be President of the United States3"
 "Well," said Daddy, "it's some- thing like this. First you have to get q lot of friends within your own party and pray that the other party has bad luck. Then, usual iy, you get appointed or elected to some comparatively important of- fice and begin lining up delegates. If you can outsmart the rest or the boys in your party you get nominated; if you can out-talk the boys in the other party you get elected"
