The Political Mill
BY Gould Lincoln

happens in the big city this year Gov,
Dewey may or may not seek to succeed
himself although the chances are ne
will. The Democrats are as ANXIOUS 10
control in Albany as they are in New
York City. President Roosevelt would
like above all things to see a Dewey
defeat next year. He did not relish the
campaign which Dewey made against
HIM, and the fact that Dewey was able
to win election as Governor in 1912 also
rankles. Tied in with all this is the
fact that if Dewey wins reelection IeXt
year he will still be very much in the
presidential picture in l948,
The Democrats, many of them are
grooming Senator Mead for their gUber-
material candidate. He will have TO Ge-
eide whether to make the bid for Gov
ernor or seek reelection to the Senate,
for his present term expires IN January,
l947. He tried for the gubernatOrial
nomination in 1912, but despite the fact
he had the support of President ROoS2-
welt. in the most dramatic State con-
vention in years, Senator Mead was de-
feated by the candidate of James A.
Farley, then DenHcratic State chair
man, John J. Bennett, jr. The row split
the Democratic party wide open. Fur
ther, the American Labor party, which
has usually gone along with Democratic
nominations for Governor, tossed a car
didate of its own in the field, helping to
swell still further the Dewey plurality.
Now it appears that Mr. Farley him.
self is toying with the idea Of running
for Governor, emerging from his pres
ent political retirement Whether this
is serious or merely designed to give
some of his erstwhile opponents cold
chills, it would certainly make q nice
row. Mr. Farley has no use for Mr
Mead He himself has a lot of friends
Of long standing among the Democratic
leaders.
Dewey has made an excellent record
as Governor. What he decides 10 do
politically next year may depend a
good deal on conditions in New York
and in the country by that time. If
the war is over, the picture may be en-
tirely changed for domestic politics. In
any event, Dewey will need many of
the independent votes in New York City.
Here is where the mayoralty election
this year may have its bearing on the
race for Governor. particularly should
there be a tieup between Dewey and La
Guardia.

ShoveIs and Spades

This is democracy. But there is
an interesting gradation of position
among the shovels and spades on
the farm. Perhaps it should not be
so, but in a practical world one has
to face facts even as he reaches
toward the stars. Down at the bot
tom of the list is the old. battered
barn shovel used to clean out the
cutters behind the cows It is a
long-handled one with a fiat blade.
Year after year it has stood at the
end of the tie-up, leaning against a
wall timber Faithfully it performs
its humble service.
Now the saWdust shovel is another
matter. On many farms clean, pun
nt-smelling sawdust is used to bed
the cows, calves and horses. This
shovel is spacious scoop affair, the
same kind as used in the corncrib
to fill the battered old tin tubs with
ears to carry to the pigs. It is a
short-handled, stubby independent
fellow and does it's job competently
and without fuss. In the tool shed
hangs the short-handled, round
pointed digging shovel side by side
with the -bladed spade. A
farmer is proud of these tools for spe-
cial jobs and keeps the edges sharp
and keen. But his pride and Joy is the
long handled. pointed shovel. With
it a man can dig postholes without
breaking his back. shovel gravel
from the bank in the pasture to re-
pair the farm lane and surface the
barnyard A farmer likes this shovel
just as he has a special affection
for his favorite ak.
Spades and shovels have played
their part in the building of a ma
ton. They have dug cellars for
homes and barns, helped make roads
and trails as frontiers were pushed
to the west, built railroad beds for
the iron tracks, and today are help
ing build roads in far-off lands to
