Democrats To Run Truman
Again, Says Jim Farley

SALT LAKE CITY, July 27-(P)
James A. Farley predicted to-
day that the Democrat party
would: nominate President Tru-
man for the 1913 presidential
race, pick a vice-presidential nom
inee from a populous state least
of Ohio" and win the election if
present ECONOMIC conditions con-
tinue.
The foreign situation at the time
will have considerable effect on
the election, the former postmas-
ter general told a Tribune report
er, but the Democratic party
will be abetted by the abili-
ties of Secretary of State Marshall,
whom Farley described as a
"strong and popular public serv-
ant"
Here on a business trip, Farley
declared:
ut looks like President Truman
will be the Democratic nominee
in 1913, for he has been a good
leader and his popularity is
strong and solid.
81 would guess that President
Truman will have to 60 east of
Ohio.for his running mate, because
the bulk of those electoral votes
must come from those more pop
ulous states"
The Coco-Cola company execu-
tive had this to say about Demo-
cratic chances in 1913:
IT might say that if prosperity
continues, there is not much n
employment and business general
ly is good, the people won't vote
the party out of power"
Farley arrived here from Reno,
New, this morning and had train
reservations for Grand Junction,
