but they have obtained quite a bit
of publicity in these hysterical days
The Republicans are just as
strong for adequate national de-
tense against any enemy that may
attack or threaten this country as
is Mr.. Roosevelt himself. But they
do not admit that Mr.. Roosevelt is
the only man for the American to
rally behind. And as for joining in
coalition Government, as pro-
posed in some New Deal quarters
even by the President himself, who
has made at least one offer of q
cabinet job to a Republican-they
ridicule the idea. According to re-
ports here, the Office of Secretary of
the Navy was offered by the Presi-
dent to Col. Frank Knox, publisher
Of the Chicago Daily News and Re-
publican vice presidential candidate
in 1886. And the Office of Secretary
of War may be offered, it was re-
ported, to ALI M. Landon, formet
Governor of Kansas and Republican
standard bearer four years ago.
This last stretches the imagination.
Faces G. O. p. Retaliation.
II any Republican accepts ap-
pointment to the Roosevelt cabinet
there is very good chance that he
may be read out of the Republican
party-so far as the coming cam
paign is concerned. Republican
leaders discussing this matter said
they did not see how a Republican
may be a member of the President S
personal and political family, as
cabinet officers are, and support a
Republican candidate for the presi-
dency this year. They are not max
ing threats, but merely looking at
the matter in a -blooded way.
They see no reason whatever for
a coalition Government. None such
was attempted during the Wilson
administration when this country
was fighting the World War in 1917
and 1918. All of Mr.. Wilson's cabi-
net officers were Democrats during
those years. And in 1918 President
Wilson apd his Postmaster General
Albert S. Burleson, called for the
election Of a Democratic House OF
Representatives. Incidentally, the
country turned down the request
and elected Republican House and
a Republican Senate.
The New Dealers are using the
argument that the country must
rally back of Mr.. Roosevelt to make
the German government under
stand that it is united. The country
could rally back OF Secretary OF
State Cordell Hull, or even back o1
a Republican If he could be elected
President, just as well as it could
rally back of Mr.. Roosevelt. The
argument of the New Dealers is
however, that only by backing Mr.
Roosevelt can the country be uni
fed. The argument is entirely
faulty. The country will back Presi-
dent Roosevelt while his term runs
unless he makes mistakes. But that
is no reason why it must elect him
for another term-which violates
the traditions of the American
people.
Means One Party Government.
II the G. o. P. should be effaced
and coalesced with the New Dealers
to show Hitler"-there would be
only one political party in this
country-a one-party Government
That is Just what Hitler has in Ger
many, Mussolini in Italy, and Stain
In Russia-the kind of governments
with which President Roosevelt has
said we cannot live.

On day of spectacular pitching
Bob F'eller, the Iowa corn belt
pitcher. chiseled his name on the
portals of the hall of fame with
a stunning no-hit. no-run game,
the first in baseball history on an
opening day. Feller pitched the
Indians to a 10 triumph over the
White SoX, blazing his fast ball
past the helpless Chicagoans with
monotonouS regularity.
Until the returns came in from
the west Lefty Groves brilliant q
hitter against washington before
President Roosevelt and a crowd
of $1,000 in the capitol city was
the days high spot. Grove, who
celebrated his 40th birthday during
the spring training season, retired
the first 81 Washington batters to
face him, but allowed two infield
hits in the late innings. The Red
Soxs 10 triumph enabled the
chief pretenders to the Yank'S
title to get away to flying start
in their campaign to overthrow the
world champions.
The National league Clipped in
with brilliant pitching job by
Philadelphia Kirby Higbe, who
set the New York Giants down with
three hits to give the Phillies a
81 decision before 14,840.
Carl Hubbell opposed Higbe for
eight innings and was ruined by
one bad pitch, home run tossed
to Gus Suhr in the eighth inning.
Next best was Whitlow Wyatt's
five-hit, shutout of the Boston
Bees, giving the Brooklyn Dodgers
a SO win before the smallest open
ing day crowd in history, 3,5l7 fans.
Wyatt famed four and had perfect
control If his lame knee bothered
him, he failed to show it. Dolph
Camilli tripled across two runs and
later scored himself to pace the
Brooklyn assault.
The champion Cincinnati Reds
began the long drive for their Sec
ond pennant with a 81 win over
the Chicago Cubs, chiefly through
home runs by Frank Mccormick
and Ival Goodman and the six-hit
pitching of Paul Derringer. The

innings to defeat the st. Louis Car
dinals, GA before 16,599 fans.
Pirates batsmen, led by Virgil Davis
who hit homer. marked up Is
hits to the Cards seven. Three
pitcers worked for each team.
Chubb Dean pitched and batted
the Philadelphia Athletics to 81,
10inning triumph over the New
York Yankees before 20,817. Dean
besides limiting the Yankees to
six hits, same number allowed by
Charlie Ruffing, sent over Frank
Hayes with the deciding run on a
long sacrifice fly. Hayes walked to
open the inning and went to third
when Rookie Al Rubelings short
fly fell safely for a double. Ruffing
purposely passed pinch-hitter Dee
Miles to fill the bases and set the
stage for Deans winning sacrifice.
The ST. Louis Browns upset the
Detroit Tigers 5-1 before the days
