Farley on Mules

drive for the mule vote of Amer
ca! ...s..u -.
Never one to overlook a single
bet, especially when the going
becomes hard, Democratic Nat
Chairman James A. Farley led
off this new campaign some
days ago while laying the corner
stone Of a new Federal building
at Columbia, Tenn.
Indeed, Jim Farley became
both idyllic and poetical over
mules. Tenesseeans rubbed
their eyes in amazement at Jim
Farley's mellifluous voice eulogiz
ing the humble beast of burden
as though he were greasing up
an audience about to go to the
polls. In measured cadences, the
Democratic chieftain's VOICE
ran .on-and on-and on-about
mules. 80.
This patient beast of burden"
that loyal animal down thru
the years has furnished power
to furrow the fields, to trans
port to market the products of
factory and farm an indispens
able part of the motive powerl
of the army-the humble, stall
wart, dependable, American
mule" were the phrases which
poured from Farley's lips.
Farley Halls Mules as Pioneers
The mule, he went on,symbol-
ICES the vital spirit of the pio-
neer. THE American mule "is a
steady toiler who gives an
honest days work for an honest
day. hay" Jim Earle circulated
with great fervor and then add
ed, THAT is enough for me-"
Farley undertook to give the
impression that the greatest re-
get of his life was that he had |
not had more intimate ecquain |
lance with mules-undoubtedly
he meant the four legged variety
He explained that in his lone
ly moments Southern friends re
counted to him "the days when
from dayliht to sundown they
used to walk in Old Beck's foot4
steps down the cotton rows"
They tell Jim went on, chow the
dew sparkled like diamonds on
the cotton squares, how they fill
ed their straw hats with cool
hickory leaves against the mid
day sun, and how the sweetest
sound they ever heard or, hoped
to hear, was good Old Beck's
hee-haw in the golden dusk that
meant both to him and the
mule-'Take Out"
| Isn't This Beautiful?
Then, with a deep sigh over
opportunities lost, Farley added:
Unfortunately that is an ex-
perience which life has denied
me. In my youth, never had
the BENSON (sic) of such close
eombanionship with a mule.
You judges of stock can tell that,
/ imagine, from the slope of my
withers. / wore blue jeans, all
right, but my quitting time came
with whistle, not with a bray.
(Really, we are not kidding.
These are Jim Farley's own
words, taken verbatim from
the transcript of his speech re-
leased to Washington correspon-
dents by the Information Ser
vice" of the Post Office Depart
ment - which means mimeo-
graphed and distributed at your
expense as taxpayer.)
Farley, moreover, was not
satisfied with eulogizing mules
and yearning because his asso-
citation with them had not been
intimate. He drew morals from
the habits and characteristics of
the mule. He refrained from
identifying thoes with whom he
compared the mule-to the deter
emit of the former. - but here is
what he said:
A mule may become fright

Realistic Fire Ends
 Make-BeIieve Blaze
Garden Theater Patrons, Tenants of Garden Building Forced to Evacnate Building g-NO Serious Damage

Six hundred and fifty movie fans left the Plaza theater on East Main street last night as fire threatened the adjacent Garden building, but 20 Jehovah's Witnesses, who were holding a meeting on the second floor, calmly continued with their business, and refused to bestir them selves.
 The blaze, which was confined to the fourth floor auditorium and dance hall, wheer 1t originated, drew hundreds of spectators and caused a serious traffic tie-up. Among the spectators was Mayor Vincent A. Scully.
 Fire Marshal Den Lahey said to- day the fire was probably started by vagrants who sought shelter in the auditorium from the rainy weather. The marshal did not say how the vagrants set the fire, but 1t was assumed to be by accident, probably a discarded cigaret.
 The movie fans evacuated the theater in orderly fashion, on the advice of Police. Capt. Fred Hickey and Marshal Lahey. By coinci- dence, the feature presentation was "Rebecca", film which depicts a spectacular blaze in 8 closing scene.
 The only difficulty experienced by seven companies of firemen was from the smoke and by the fact that the lights were turned off. A portabe lighting system was brought into play.
 The fire was discovered by Fred Williams, janitor and watchman, who traced a cracking sound to the auditorium where he. discov- cred flames breaking through the door. He called Patrolman Ralph Belloisy, who saunded the alarm.
 Bremen were directed by Chief Thomas F. Cavanaugh and Deputy Chief Martin J. Campion, while traf- fic was rerouted under the direc- ton of Capt. Hickey and Deputy Supt. Daniel J. Carson.
 The Garden building, which hous- es offices of several abor unions, and is occupied by several stores on street level, is owned by Theobald E. Conway.
