representatives at the Conner
plant reported that production to-
day was holding its own and go
ing up" The Briggs management
has charged the JAW workers
with slowing down production in
support Of the foremen's independ-
ent union.
A local TAP spokesman said to-
day the charge was false and that
we don't care whether the fore
men win. lose or draw. Our people
are going 10 continue producing as
much as possible.
The back-to-work order came
from William II. Davis, War
Labor Board chairman.
Meanwhile Robert III Keys,
president of the Foremen's Asso-
citation Of America. of which the
strikers are members. asked Davis
whether the telegram meant the
WLB now had taken jurisdiction
in the case.

Roosevelt Has Majority Following

If the Republican party decides that "jus any
candidate can wn,' it may insure fourth term for
President Roosevelt. This is the conclusion drawn
by Stanley High one Of the nations most widely read
political writer's in an amazingly frank article in last
weeks issue of the Saturday Evening Post.
He knows, of course, that the G. O. P through it's
leaders, already has decided that whoever is nomnat
ed will be elected Having reached that decision, the
political bosses who control the party Will decde on
candidate who will best serve their interests. Such
man will be picked not the basis OF his quallflca
tions to lead the nation to victory and through the
postwar era but on the same basis that governed the
selection of Warren G. Harding in the 1920 conven-
ton.
Thev want candidate strong enough to win and
weak enough to handle High declared in his article
He points out that hope is surgng in the breast OF
every Republican senator who recall how easily
Harding won. Representatives, governors and at
least college president have ambitions for the
White House.
The Republicans, he pointed out have lost sight
of one thing There may be general opposition against
the New Deal. But that opposition does not extend
to President Roosevelt The Republicans must not
seek to defeat the New Deal, the Democratic
party They, if they expect to win, must defeat
President Roosevelt
Here the Republicans appear to be lost before
the race starts The President is leading every poll
in the nation, including the always accurate Gallup
poll In the late fall of 1885, the Gallup poll gave the
President So per cent In the fall of 1889 he
given 54 per cent and in the fall Of 1913 it 53 per
cent In December 1913, he gained point to lead
with 81 per cent In the latest polls against such
Republican possibilities as Willkie Dewey and Mac
Arthur Roosevelts percentage has ranged from low
of 55 to high Of 59
Thus no candidate has appeared on the scene with
whom the Republicans can win against President
Roosevelt Wkie and Dewey the most, popular
with the voters and the most unpopular with the
party bosses. Some party leaders have gone so far
to say they have taken steps to insure that neither
Willkie any other, will be able to stampede the
convention this year as was done in 1910 This is
