DISCUSS IDEA OF
SHORT CAMP AICN
FOR NEXT YEAR
AMONG VARIOUS SUBJECTS
DEALING WITH NATIONAL
ELECTIONS IS FOURTH
TERM TALK"
BY JACK STINNETT
tlgy Assoctated Pres.l

WASHINGTON, June IL
Don't think that was idle chatter
when Postmaster General CHAR
man of the National Democratic
Committed Frank c. Walker sug-
gested that this years convention
be held later and that only a
month or two be devoted to the
campaign.
Don't think it was idle chatter
when Republican National Com
mittee Chairman Harrison E.
Spangler, ordinarily a very mild
fellow, let loose a lot of wrathfuI
sarcasm a. the idea.
AS matter of fact, those might
result in 1914 campaign strategy
which will be enacted.
There's no doubt now but what
the 1914 campaigns are on. The
fourth term talk that anti
third term movement in several
states $50 far, il has been MOSTLY
a fizzle); repetition of the names
of Governors Bricker, Stassen
and Dewey, and of Wendell Will
kie as potential Republican can
didates; and now this battle over
the lengths of the campaigns, are
all opening guns of calibre too
large to be ignored.

Suppose for the moment that
the Republicans hold their con-
vention in the usual months of
June or July, and Democrats hold
off until September. In those two
or three months, the sentiment
of the voters toward the Repub-
iican nominee will be pretty well
crystalized his novelty" will
have worn off; the war situation
will be couple of months nearer
its final outcome Qf it isn't already
over.
The President. gausing public
sentiment, will be in a much bet
ter position to decide whether he
wants to run again or pass the hat
to someone who will carry on his
policies. If he doesn't choose to
run, the silent treatment he
gave the Democratic party in
1910 will be just as effective in
keeping other aspirants out of the
race and setting up another con-
vention without any prospective
candidate other than himself or
someone he might favor.
Furthermore. the Republican
nominee would be in the position
of running along for a couple of
months without an opponent. That
kind of shadow-boxing never
helped any one score q Knockout.
If it seems almost ssacrilegious
to some to talk of politics in the
midst of war. they might well get
over the idea. Our Constitution
provides for the elections. They
are the basis of our democracy.
There's no other way of getting
cur constituted representatives
into office or keeping them there.
Elections mean politics and Presi-
dental elections mean politics I'M

finances of their respective par

Regardless of the much her
aided curtailment Of social af-
fairs during the holiday season
1t definitely was not dull for
members Of the younger set.
Each day since Christmas eve the
calendar has been marked with
some party or other for young
people and over this week end
the spotlight played on several
merry events. Simplicity has
been stressed at the majority
Of the parties, with the hostesses'
only desire that the young people
enjoy themselves. No thought of
elaborate arrangements was even
entertained and there is little
doubt that those for whom the
parties were given enjoyed the
informality much more than had
the functions been cloaked in
brilliancy and formaIty.

$500 900 people last year, but its
program to supply trained scientific
and technical personnel for civilian
industries through college subsidies
has never gotten started. Mr.. Har-
per revealed that the Budget Bureau
now has the long awaited college
program which Mr.. McNutt an
nounced months ago would match
the" Army and Navy programs on
the civilian side.
Another program praised highly
by VINO was the use to be made of
the occupational questionnaires
mailed out through selective service.
Mr.. Harper said that at the last
check, made In December, 40 per
cent Of the men who were sent
cards from the employment service
Offering them Jobs in essential work
transferred to the essential Jobs.
However, he did not say what per-
centage Of the men who filled out
the occupational questionnaires were
ever sent employment service cards.
In answer to other questions,
based on predictions made by Mr..
McNutt, Mr.. Harper said sanctions
had not been used against recalci-
trant employers; working conditions
had not been used as a measuring
rod In granting labor priorities and
special arrangements have not been
made to give the Army and Navy
men with needed skills through spe-
cial draft calls.
On the score Of legislation to back
up its activities, VINO is still stand
ing pat since Mr.. McNutt reversed
his position Of last fall when he
said national service legislation was
inevitable and that "persuasion. Is
not enough" Mr., Harper confirmed
reports, however, that VINO has q
