WASHINGTON, Aug. 30-Polfti- cal notes for today: I spent hours on separate occasions recently talking to two men high in the ranks of the two major parties and, if l have it right. both the Democrats and Re- publicans are counting on splits within the opposition to win victory.
 There's nothing new or amazing about a party's efforts to split the opposition. The thumb-rule of bat tie, divide and conquer" is as hoary in politics as it is in warfare
 What is amazing is that this year ranking politicians in BOTH parties insist that the time was never riper for applying the split-and-win tech niQue.

Couple Married 70 Years
Never Apart Since United

LUCAS, IOWA.-This little town
of 514 has added a second claim
to national fame-it has what is be-
lieved to be Americas champion
married couple.
Lucas is also the birthplace of
John L. Lewis, leader of the c. 1. o.
The title of champion couple is
claimed for Mr.. and Mrs. George
M. Cohen, both SO, who are not only
in their seventy-eighth year of
married life together, but also have
not, in all those years, been separat-
ed single day or night.
The Gobens were guests recently
at picnic dinner sponsored by the
National True Vow Keepers club,
an organization of couples who have
been married so or more years.
The only formula the Gobens have
to offer for happy married life is
their own experience: always stay
together. Never be separated for
single day or night"
The Gobens have lived most of
their life on farms. They have had
eight children, five of whom are
living. They have II grand chill
dren, q great grandchildren and
two great great grandchildren.
One of their sons, F. j. Cohen, of
Lucas, has been married SO years.

along on third term. Mr.. Farley's
North Carolina speech would indicate
that this correspondent knew what
he was talking about.
The President must be under ter
rife pressure these days. Nearly all
his cabinet and lesser appointees are
insisting that he must run again in
1910. / can well understand that,
because their jobs depend on his
continuing on in the White House.
In surveying the situation one must
not overlook the fact that this army
of officeholders, which exceeds $780,
600, is force that must be reckoned
with. However, 1 am sticking by my
belief that he will not again be a
candidate.

extend the Reciprocal Trade law for
another three years, without provid-
ing for Congressional ratification.
The other day received a letter
from a truck farmer living near Jack
sonville, Florida, which reads as fol-
lows:
81 never expected that the day
would come when it would be neces-
sary for an old reconstructed rebel
like myself who has voted the Demo-
cratic ticket all his life, as did his
father, to write to Republican Con-
gresham in order to get a square
deal. l am a grower of early vege-
tables for the New York market. My
self, and many others similarly sit
uated, are virtually bankrupt because
of the way the Reciprocal Trade law
is being operated by this administra-
ton. Before they negotiated the trade
agreement with Cuba, imports of
early tomatoes from that country
never exceeded twenty million pounds
annually. Today, imports are in ex-
cess of forty millions pounds, and they
all come in during the winter months
when we must sell our tomatoes. The
importations have so depressed the
price in the New York market that we
are obliged to sell our early vegetables
such as tomatoes, cabbage, cucumberS,
peppers, beans, ETC., considerably be-
low what it costs to produce them.
81 can't imagine what that man
Hull is thinking about. Is he more
concerned over a lot of Negro vege-
table growers in Cuba than he is with
the American citizen who is obliged
to compete with them?
81 want to commend you Republic
cans for the fine fight that you are
putting up for the American farmer.
We are watching the proceedings be-
fore your committee with interest be-
cause our very existence depends
upon the outcome of the fight you are
making.
81 wish you would let me know
how my Congressman voted on the
Reciprocal Trade law. 1t is high time
that those of us who get their living
from the soil watch their Representa-
tives in Washington more closely than
we have in the past"
l am unable to quote my CORE
spondent's letter in full because some
of the language used therein is sui
phuric. might say that l have re-
ceived a number of similar letters
from other sections of the country.
l have before me resolution re-
Gently adopted by the Vegetable
Growers of America which reads:
BE it resolved, therefore, that the
Congress of the United States be petit
toned to establish tariffs which will
equalize the difference in the cost of
production between the United States
and foreign growers of similar pro-
ducts. Such legislation would enable
the American producer to compete
with cheap foreign labor We de-
plore the tremendous increase in i'm
portations of Cuban fruits and vege-
tables, which are being imported I'M
der a Reciprocal Trade agreement
with Cuba"
How long can we expect the Amer
lean farmer, and care not whether
he live in Florida or Minnesota, to
continue to sell the products of his
land and labor below cost of produc-
ton because of forced competition
with peon labor, many of whom
go barefoot the year round and whose
sole wardrobe consists of a cotton
shirt and a pair of patched overalls?
We simply cannot compete with him
