The President, they say, has re-

indeed.
The political favors in question
are chiefly presidential appoint
ments Of Federal officials such as
judges, district attorneys. mar

President appoints a political
friend Of a Congressman, it is
called patronage. Patronage is
pretty important in the lives of

On the Other Hand
Not Because of Finer Sensibilities
Will They Vote the Way They Vote

gedly for the program he and his
party promised the people, has
certain tough facts to deal with.
The toughest of these is the d.
vision within his own party. Toe
many members of his party In
Congress fail to see eye to eye with
him on major issues and claim the
right to join with the Republican
opposition whenever they see fit
Most of these are from Southern
States. They are apt to feel Sc
cure in office and beyond the
reach of the Presidents displeas-
ure.
Many have their own or are part
of tight political organizations in
their home districts. made up OF
local officials. courthouse gangs
State officials-and the Federal
officials named above. Except in
few States the number of voters
is limited by the poll tax and
other restrictions. 1t is a hard
line to break through. In fact
the only weakness In the Lineup
lies in the Federal officials.
Best of the Jobs.
But the Federal jobs are about
the best Of the Jobs, both in pay
and prestige. congressman, by
tradition, have the privilege OF
disposing of those jobs.
Now comes the President and
says he'll be doggoned if he's 60
ing to continue helping any Cong
ressman in this manner unless the
Congressman votes for the party's
national program. This warning
would be sufficient in the case OF
the average Northern Democrat,
whose political life is filled with
uncertainties. 1t may be that the
President is aware also of some
Southern members who are not
as secure at home as they would
like to be. He may believe he can
pick up a vote here and there
among these members by requiring
them to earn their Federal patron
age.
The first test will come this
week on the Taft-Hartley law.
In which connection, don't take
too seriously the talk you hear
about some Democrats voting
against the President on this is

ties have been offended. They'll
merely be voting the way they
intended to all along.
