Roosevelt Administration as Mr..
Connor.
Mr.. Bailey, for "a years a mem
Der Of the State legislature, is a
conservative. Mr.. Connor not
only Is conservative, but he bit
terly fought the nomination OF
President Roosevelt in the Demo-
cratic National Convention in
Chicago in 1882. At that time he
favored the nomination of former
Secretary of War Newton D.
Baker, the real choice of the anti
Roosevelt faction in the conven-
tion had 1t been possible to
stop" Mr.. Roosevelt.
New Dealer Ran Fourth.
In the first primary for the
Mississippi gubernatorial nomi-
nation few weeks ago, Mr.. Con-
nor had big lead over his three
opponents. Mr.. Bailey ran next,
while the candidate supported by
Senator Bilbo and recognized as a
New Dealer, was a poor fourth.
1t was apparent that many of the
voters turned to Mr.. Bailey in
the run-ofi.
Mr.. Connor was Governor in
1882, and he has been a candi-
date for office a number of times.
Had he been elected this year,
the troubles of the New Dealers
with the Mississippi delegation in
the 1914 Democratic National
Convention might have been
greater. But even as it is, there
may be hard sailing for the
fourth termers with the delega-
tion. James o. Eastland, who
was elected Senator last year, Is
no New Dealer, either.
Under the title "Factual Cam
paign Information" a pamphlet
compiled under the direction of
Col. Edwin A. Halsey, secretary
Of the Senate, gives a clear in
dication that the 1914 national
campaign is in reality just
around the corner. All of the
primary dates, when candidates
for Congress are chosen as well
as other officials in the States,
are given. Dates of the presi-
Dental preferential primaries
also are listed. The first of these
preferential primaries takes
place in New Hampshire March
IA.
Conventions Not Set.
Ne dates have yet been set for
the Democratic and Republican
National Conventions. The prac-
tice in recent years has been for
the COP clans to gather In the
latter part of June or the first
Of July, with the Democrats
holding their convention a cou-
pie of weeks latex
Already the Democratic ma
tional chairman, Postmaster
General Walker, has urged that
the campaign next year be made
a brief one, with the national
conventions preferably in Sep
tember. The Republican leaders

The Political Mill

have replied that If Mr.. Walker
will announce that President
Roosevelt is not to be a candi-
date. or that he is, they would
give the matter consideration.
Otherwise, they intend to pro-
ceed as usual.
The Republicans would like
very much to nominate their
candidate after the Democratic
ticket has been selected. and to
write their party platform after
the Democrats have written
theirs. They are not in a posi-
ton, however. to hold OF. They
must have time, after their presi-
dental nominee has been picked
to convince the voters that he
is the better man for the job.
Nominate on Majority.
If President Roosevelt is the
Democratic nominee, as the Re
publicans and Democrats now
believe he will be, after nearly a
dozen years in the White House
there will be no need for long
campaign to put him before the
people, or to announce his poll
cies.
Both the Republican and
Democratic Conventions will
nominate their presidential can
didates by ma jority vote. II the
old two-thirds rule for nomina-
tions by the Democrats still
maintained, the chances of the
antifourth term Democrats to
prevent a denomination OF the
President would be far greater.
But that rule went by the board
In the 1886 Democratic conven-
ton, when Mr.. Roosevelt was
nominated for a second term.
The selection of the party
candidates for President will be
made by conventions composed
Of a thousand delegates from the
States, the territories and the
District Of Columbia - to be
exact, the Democratic conven-
ton will have 1,100 delegates,
and the Republican, 1908. To
stop Mr.. Roosevelt's renomina-
tion, 55l delegates must oppose
him and give their votes to one
or more other candidates until
4 Anal selection can be made.
Seen As lmpossibility.
The consensus is that 1t will
be impossible to rally a ma jority
of the Democratic delegates
against Mr.. Roosevelt. In the
1910 convention, when Mr..
Roosevelt was running fer a
third term, approximately 200
delegate votes were cast for
other candidates and against
Mr.. Roosevelt. The ants may
be able to make a better show
ing next year. Indeed, they insist
they will double that number of
anti-Roosevelt votes. 1t remains
to be seen. however, If this can
be done.
The record OF presidential
elections for the last So years,
beginning with the Hayes -Tilden
fracas, shows that the two major
political parties have alternated
In control Of the Government.
with the longest stretch OF power
16 years. This was from 1897
to 1918, when the Republicans
were In power.
With the close Of the present
Roosevelt term, the Democrats
will have run the Government
for IL years. The Republicans
held control for the IL years Just
previous to Mr.. Roosevelt's entry
into the White House. On the
theory Of probabilities, the COP
would appear to have as much
chance as the Democrats next

Chicago Girl Loses Fight
AGAINST Blood Disease

CHICAGO. Aug. 26.-Miss Marie
Barker, 20, who had received 10 blood
transfusions in a six-week fight
against staphylococcus septicemia
blood disease. died yesterday at
st. Luke's Hospital.
Her doctors recent appeal for
penicillin, drug restricted prin-
cipally for use by the armed forces,
was turned down. Eastern physi-
clans controlling the limited civilian
supply said they believed the drug
would not be beneficial to Miss
Barker because of heart complica-
ttons involved in her illness.
Among the blood donors who
aided In efforts to save Miss Barker's
life was Pvt. Valentine G. Godkin
OF North Rose, N. Y, stationed at
the San Antonio CTex.) aviation
cadet center.
After reading newspaper accounts
OF her case he obtained a four-dav

personally. The American and
British leaders are fully prepared
to accept any rendezvous In any
part OF the world which Stain
may choose.
But II the strategy adopted at
Quebec meets only = limited ap-
proval by Stain and his general
stan, it appears probable that he
will dispatch his principal po-
litical ofilcer, Foreign Commissar
Molotov. to meet the American
and British leaders in an effort
to obtain = greater clarification
OF the situation and see what
definite pledges he could obtain
for the 1914 campaign.
Unquestionably = great polit-
ical tug Of war is being played all
over the world. In this period of
strictly secret diplomacy. it is
impossible for the public to catch
a glimpse at what Is going on
behind the scenes. And even II
any outsider had . shrewd suess
Of what is happening, he would
not be able to divulse actual
facts for fear Of being accused
OF jeopardizing the war effort.
But from the frank and clear
statements which have come out
Of Moscow, 1t is more than evi-
dent that the Russians 80 far
have been very displeased with
the "Anglo-Saxon" strategy.
However. what the Quebec
meeting did to Offset the dissat-
isfaction Of Moscow Is . strictly
guarded secret.
Russia Favors Publicity.
The Russians apparently do
not believe in secret diplomacy.
Their official newspapers-all
Soviet newspapers represent the
Kremlin's ofIicial point of view
have warned us courteously but
firmly that we are doing nothing
substantial to defeat the enemy
as quickly ~ Russia desires. This
point Of view Is reflected not
only in Russian newspapers but
also in the American and British
newspapers which reflect the
point Of view Of the Soviet gov
ernment.
Thus, unless the military de-
cisions taken at Quebec are such
as to satisfy the Russian general
stafY, it is considered likely here
that Mr.. Molotov will be assigned
to give q friendly ultimatum tc
the Allies that they must soor
start moving earnestly or Russia
will consider herself free Of al
pledges, promises and formal en-
gagements.
OF course, such An action on
the part Of the Soviet govern
ment could be taken without any
formal warnings. But the Rus
slams, being very strong and in m
excellent military and political
position, can afford the luxury
Of being sticklers for form.
Ofdcial quarters are not willing
to say anything definite about

W. MEDFoRD, Mass, April

of the most eventful in the re-

church. At the morning serv-
ice the pastor, Rev. ]. Freder'
lex Bailey, preached on Ere
pentance" in observance Of the
Sunday School Decision Day"
In response to his invitational
call four young members of the
Sunday School expressed their
desire to become Christians.
They were the Misses lone
Digger, Laverna Dixon, Alvah
Wagner and Mr.. Cortland Dug
ger. They will be baptized on
Easter Sunday morning. The
morning service ended with a
vocal solo by Rev. Wells who
again was welcome visitor to
the pulpit and church. The
church school session was very
encouraging, with the pupils
very attentive, the attendance
much improved and the collec-
ton quite satisfactory. Rev.
Bailey led the school in its
observance of Decision Days,
explaining the purpose of the
day, the significance of the
church body and answering
pertinent questions and re-
marks. Rev. Wells also assisted.
In the Primary and Junior De-
partment Mrs. Mary Parhan,
assist. Supt. was in charge due
to the absence Of the Superin-
tendent. Mrs. Panharn did a
very fine job. The climax of
the day occurred at 3 o'clock
in the afternoon when the
choral group from the S66tn
at Camp Devens came down
and took possession of the
church and community. These
two score of stalwaTt, fine
bronzed, singing soldiers rem
dered as fine musical pro-
gram as has ever been the

Joy in these parts. Leading this
group together and other SOL
dierS from the camp was Capt.
and also Chaplain, Charles
Fisher. Capt. Fisher, local
boy, who although an orphan
