Remember how the President
went down there and in person
sought TO supplant him with a
hand-picked New Dealer?
Today Senator George is
stronger than he has ever been.
His reelection to the Senate is
virtually foregone conclusion.
In 1888 when Senator Pat
McCarran of Nevada was run
ming for the Senate, Mr.. Roove-
welt toured the state, making
rear-platform speeches. Beside
him on the pullman stood the
senator's rival.
McCarran survived, and today
is more anti-New Deal than
ever. He comes up next year.
The New Deal cannot harm him
now.
THE case of Senator Frederick
l. Van Nuys, Democrat. of In
diana, is somewhat different. He
was on the purge list Of 1888.
He also survived. Next year he
will be a candidate 10 succeed
himself. and all the chances are
that he will be defeated. which
is a pity. for he is a courageous
and independent man.
How will he be beaten-by
the President and New Deal?
Not at all, for though he sur
vived the purge of 1888 he can
hardly hope to survive the Re-
publican tidal wave in Indiana
in 1914.
The purge has back-fired, to

POLITICAL PARADE
BY GEORGE ROTHWELL BROWN

WASHINGTON, Dec, 14--It's
w a long worm that has no
turning!
Close upon SIX years now
have passed since President
Roosevelt and his New Dealers
sought TO purge a number OF
distinguished Democratic sena-
tors. That was in the campaign
of 1888.
The purge was entirely I'M
successful. Today some of those
Dem ocratic senators who
bravely withstood the effort to
drive them from public life,
have succeeded in completely re-
versing the picture.
One of those on the 1888
purge list is Senator Ellison d.
Cotton Ed Smith of South
Carolina. The New Deal tried
10 defeat him. The other day
he stood up in the Senate, and
threatened 10 sweep President
Roosevelt and the whole New
Deal out of Washington through
the medium of a third party in
the South.
Next year Cotton Ed. who has
represented his state in the SEN
ate since 1909, will come up
again for reelection. No purge
this time can touch him The
shoe is on the other foot!
A MOTHER Democratic sena-
n tor on the purge list of 1888
is Walter F. George of Georgia.

Let us look at the other side
of the picture. In 1888, Mr..
Roosevelt threw his support
and so did WPA-to Dear AL
ben" Barley, in Kentucky. This
senatorial handy man of the
New Deal was returned on the
Presidents coat-tails. Next
year he comes up for reelection.
and the the outlook is dark in

Kentucky has gone Republic

cations are that Barley will be
followed by a Republican sem
ator.
Then there is Bob Wagner Of
New York. 100 per cent New

November up there he must
shudder every time he contem-
plates the campaign of 1914. His
defeat is on the cards.

: This program is being developed
as one of the first concrete actions
under the Presidents new hold
the-line' order against initiation.
Most commodities so far have
been under only general price cell
ings established last spring. These
ceilings VAR from store to store
and have been found difficult in
some instances to enforce.
Byrnes, present at Mr.. RooSevelt's s
regular press conference, helped
the chief executive explain the new
steps to be taken under the Presi-
dents executive order limiting fur
ther increases in prices or wages.
ByrneS said the plan to put Spcci-
flee price ceilings on many COM
modities probably would be pre-
sented tomorrow.
The new price ceilings will go
beyond food items, the President
and Byrnes agreed. They said the
basis for determining whether a
ceiling should be placed on any
commodity would be whether its
price affects the cost of living.
MEAT CEILING
The OPA recently ordered specific
price ceilings on meat.
Byrnes said an effort will be
made to reduce prices in number
of cases. This also will be under
taken by Price Administrator Prem
tisS M. Brown, he said.
The President and Byrnes agreed
that Mr.. Roosevelt's order some
what increased Byrnes' powers
over the national economy. Byrnes
said he thought the principal in
crease was the power to determine
what he described as borderline or
hardship cases arising in the OPA
or the War Labor Board. He said
that such questionable cases will be
presented to him instead of to the
President.
The President was asked whether
his executive order amounted to
mandate for Byrnes. No, he replied,
it was principally a statement of
policy.
Mr.. Roosevelt characterized the
entire program to combat initiation
as a four-legged STOOL The legs he
enumerated we're.
l. Control of wages.
2. Control of food prices.
3. Rationing.
4. Decrease of purchasing power
through taxation and savings.
