In the minds of a lot of politicians
as to whether 1t pays to WOO the
Negro vote except during one
month before elections. They point
to the fact that Mrs. Roosevelt
resigned from the D. A. r. in
order to champion Marian Ander-

relief and jobs to the Negro than
any previous President all Of

JIMMY (DUKE) CROMWELL
Unnoticed because Of the intense
spotlight played upon the presi-
dental drama, Is an intriguing
side-shoW in New Jersey which
has the elements Of love, pathos,
and politics all combined.
There, Jimmy Cromwell, form
err U. S. Minister to Canada,
who spoke out for aid to Britain
when II was still unpopular to
aid the British, Is putting up the
race of his life for the Senate.
But more important Is the race
behind his race - race Of
heart throbs.
Cromwell is married to the rich
est girl in America, Doris Duke.
Behind her are the Duke tobacco
millions, the Duke Power Company
and many other interests. Also,
Jimmy himself is by no means
poverty-stricken.
Boss Hague of Jersey City,
not unmindful Of Jim mys
wealth, was not at all averse to
having him on the ticket for U.
S. Senator. Last year, visiting
the CrOmwelPs palatial estate at
SOmerville, N. j., the Boss turn
ed to Governor Harry Moore
and remarked in awed tones:
boy, what place for a clam
bake!"
1t was confidently expected that
Jimmy Cromwell would come
through with a sizeable campaign
contribution say about $250yO00.
However, what Boss Hague did not
know at that time was that the
marital relations of Jimmy Crom-
well and Doris Duke were a bit
strained. Furthermore, some of
the Duke interests in North Car
DINA would be delighted to see
them even more strained. SO be-
hind the scenes, some of the Duke
people are credited with encourage
ing Boss Hague to undercut JIM
my.
For IL Jimmy Cromwell wins
the u. s. Senate seat, Doris will
probably stick by him. But II he
loses, all their mutual friends,
including the Duke interests,
figure that she won't.
Whether she does or doesn't, it
already seems certain that Boss
Hague will not stick by Jimmy.
Inside fact Is that Cromwell has
not seen the Boss for month.
For Jimmy has not come through
with the expected dough, and you
can't win campaigns without
dough In New Jersey.
