Bark|ey viii Support
Fourth-Term Race Of
President Roosevelt
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. May 12.-Senate
Majority Leader Barkley will sup
port a fourth term for President
Roosevelt.
The Kentucky Senator, who criti-
cized bitterly the Presidents mes
sage vetoing the tax bill, said today
that the big question facing the Ma
ton was not not whether Mr.. Roose-
velt is "the only man, but whether
he is now the best man to finish the
task in which our country Is en-
gagged" Senator Barkley said he is.
His statement, in this weeks Col
lier's, pointed up the Democratic
thesis outlined by National Chair
man Robert E. Hannegan in his ad-
dress here Monday night in which
he said he believed President Roose-
velt would be renominated and re-
elected.
Mr.. Hannegan said then he be-
lieved the people wanted the same
leadership ito finish the job now on
hand"
Senator Barkley wrote that some
people honestly feared that fourth
term means dictatorship and life
tenure"
II am not afraid of fourth term
for the President" he said. There
can be no such thing as a dictator
ship so long as the American people
have the right of free choice"
CHICAGO, May u (P.-Senator
Barkley, Democrat, of Kentucky be-
lieves that after the war the United
States, IF we are wise in refashion-
ing our economy" will have an era
OF "studendous prosperity"
1T Is my hope" Senator Barkley
said last night, that government.
industry, commerce and labor will be
able to work it out after the war so
that we may supply all the wants of
our own people, and the impoyer-
Shed people all over the world.
I believe we will have an era of
stupendous prosperity and not an
other debacle or depression If we are
wise In refashioning our economy, "
Senator Barkley spoke before
members Of the South Shore Country
Club.

FOURTH TERMER5 RIDE AGAIN IN
 STATE OF TEXAS

DALLAS, Texas, Sept. 13.-Roose- welt Democrats are in firm control of the recessed State convention and an early order of business list ed the naming of the slate of elect ors who are bound to support the Roosevelt ticket.
 This turn of events evolved from the convention that began yesterday and recessed after a hectic fight that won for the pro-Roosevelt forces clear victory over the party faction that last May chose electors unpledged to support the party nominees.
 In two favorable votes the pro- fourth termers boisteriously took over control of the party machinery for the next two years, but the end of the Texas electors squabble is not immediately in sight. The anti fourth termers have served notice that they will continue the struggle and retain by court action if neces- sary, the elector slate they put over in the May B convention.
 The May 23 electors are not bound to support the party's nominees un- less the national party met certain conditions and these conditions were rejected at the Chicago convention.
 Fifteen of g electors announced they would cast electoral college votes for Senator Byrd, anti-fourth termer They cla.sn these electors are legally secure and the September convention has no authority to re- place them.

Party With "A Purpose
Is A CoIorful Affair


Following a custom established
at their former home in Illinois,
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Berlage of
"Sherborn Meadows, the former
Hett home near Olney, for the
second year entertained with a
corn husking party for several
hundred guests. The invitations,
cleverly written in rhyme, made
use of the vernaFlar, and in good
old Maryland style spoke of
"shucking" the corn.
The invitation ended-"So once
again our old refrain Of these past
years, come young, come old, come
big, come small, come help us husk
our corn this fall". So young and
old came-the youngest, only few
months old, was promptly given
"bib and crib; the eldest, a
man of 81, went out into the field
and shucked with the best of them.
The rain that fell Saturday night
and the biting wind of Sunday,
perhaps aided the purpose of the
party, for, in spite of ski suits
and mittens, overcoats and muff-
lers, it was necessary to keep NOV
ing to keep warm, so about fifteen
acres of corn was shucked, hauled
in from the fields and put into
the corn cribs.
Besides many local friends asso-
ciates from the government SER
vices came from Washington to
the party-Judy O'Grady and the
wife of member of the Cabinet
who lives nearby the sun tanned
farmer and the diplomat-looked
alike under the wraps, and worked
side by side with a will.
The gorgeous autumn coloring of
the WOODS thfough Whlch one must
pass to enter the farm-the grow
ing piles of yellow corn, with an
occasional red ear-the brown of
the shocks of fodder-the wagons
drawn by horses and driven by
some of the youngsters-all made
most colorful scene. For those
who came early, brunch" was
served at noon. For those who
labored throughout the afternoon
and saw the last of the corn
brought in, supper consisting of
barbecued pork and other season.
able foods, was served at dusk to
about $50 persons.
