mustached, elderly reporters COW

station for the German newspaper.
They looked alike, walked in step,
arm-in-arm and jointly asked the
other reporters each night: "Iss it
a good story yet tonight maybe?"
The front page" crowd-Hildy
Johnson and Walter Burns among
them-liked them and gave them
what they had, and they lived a
mellow, carefree and berry life, Just
stroling around, always in step.
One night, one Of the reporters
made a great stir by telephoning
and whispering. The Germans were
worried. But the newshawk took
them aside and filled them with an
exciting yarn about a man who
spent 20 years on a desert island,
returned. looked through a window
IN his house on Cottage Grove ave-

husband and family. He died, his
identity was learned and they gave
him a grand funeral The next day

front page.
In Paris, the brothers, Jerome and
Jean Tharaud. fare better after,
having been similarly lock-stepped
in a 40-year quest for news. Je-
rome is received into the French
Academy, the first reporter ever so
honored, and the only reason why
Jean was not also received is that
the academy couldn't split the
honor and had to take one or the
other. Which twin to receive, has
been one Of the major worries of the
academy for several years and the
subject of much discussion through
out Europe
They are really rot twins, Jerome
being 66 and Jean SO, but they have
been twined in everything they ever
wrote, and in all the prizes they
have won, which include the Con-
court Prize of 1906 and the Acad-
envy Grand Prize in literature in
1919.

Freres Tharaud know how to shake

Mr.. Franklin has told The

Whether the articles merely

howeuer, or phether they bear

along in a few weeks If one or
more Democratic candidates make
no effort to win such preference at
the hands OF the voters-the situa-
ton will be still more strange.
Vice President Garner, candidate
for the Democratic presidential
nomination no matter what, his
friends say, will make no pre-con-
vention campaign speeches. Mr..
Garner, his record, his personality
and his general attitude toward pub
lie questions are practically as well
known to the American people as
are President Roosevelt and his rec
ord. The Garner people figure their
candidate can run in the primary
States without personal appear
ances and speeches. The Vice Pres
ident will be entered in a number of
them, or states of delegates will be
entered for him. If Senator Dom
ahey steps aside as Ohio's favorite
son candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination - Garner
surely will lie entered-and give his
written assent as required by the
primary law of that State.
Others Less Known.
If Senator Donahey goes ahead
as has been forecast-as a favorite
son candidate, there still will be
Garner delegates. ready to go to the
Vice President when the time comes,
supporters of the Vice President
confidentially predict, notwithstand-
ing the claims made by Roosevelt
third termers that the whole delega-
ton will swing to the President i'm
mediately.
There are other Democratic as
pirants for the presidential nominal
ton, however, who are not as widely
known as the Vice President. and
some of them may have different
ideas about pre-convention cam
paigning and speaking. If they are
to get anywhere they may have to
show themselves to the voters, Just
as the Republican candidates are
doing today. Take the case of Paul
v. McNutt of Indiana, Federal Sc
curity administrator. His hands
have been pretty we'll tied up to
date by the Presidents failure to
disclose his own plans. 1t is true
that the McNutt-for- President or
ganization, under the direction of
Frank McHale, has been working in
every part Of the country But that
is different from putting Mr.. Nc
Mutt himself on the stump, where
he is reputedly strong.
Then there are Postmaster Gen.
eral James A. Farley of New York,
Attorney General Robert H. Jack
son, also of New York; Gov. Stark
and Senator Clark, both of Missouri,
and Senator Barley of Kentucky
Secretary of State Cordell Hull, who
halls from Tennessee and has been
reported to have White House favor
for the nomination, is not going to
make any campaign, it is confident
ly asserted. His nomination, If it
comes, will be the result of COM
promise between the New Dealers
and the other group of Democrats.
Associate Justice Douglas of the Su-
preme Court will, of course, refrain
from public speaking.
Wheeler Gets Around.
One Democratic possibility-spelled
in this case with big Pts getting
about the country lot, speaking in
many States, although he is not
making direct political speeches.
That is Senator Burton K. Wheel
