It is not clear yet Kt when the new plan will be ofK,d by the President and his New Keal associates, but the guess can Be made that it will come in time permit a full exposition of the Bogram by the New Dealers in B?nce of election. By the same Bken. it is apparent that the Presi^Eit's 1936 promises for the farmBs will be disclosed late enough so Hat the Republicans will have little to pick it to pieces. ^Iffbe tip-off on the fact that Mr. Boosevelt is developing another ^Em program comes in Mr. SecHtary Wallace's latest book ^ V::ose Constitution."

Roosevelt proposes to organize only co-operatives among the ciers but to link those co-operais with similar co-operatives nng the consumers. The convica held by these individuals is it Mr. Roosevelt, astute politin that he is. is seeking to kill ? birds with one stone. In other rds, they contend that his plan 1 be thrown out as an inducebt for the farmers to support I policies and re-elect him and K when he deals with the voters [great industrial areas he will pt out to them the possibility of [aper food in this manner. I is to be remembered in con|hon with the reported new farm pram that Mr. Roosevelt has f a commission to Europe to py the co-operative idea. There I been no fanfare, no blare of FPets about the departure of |e men. each being an avowed f Dealer and each one being loughlv dependable.

I c?arse. it has frequently been T the case that the issues of July are not the issues that decide the election in November. There are those students of politics who are saying this year that the questions discussed by President Roosevelt and Governor Landon in their acceptance speeches are going to have very little to do with the decision of the voters three months hence. I can report only on a consensus among political authorities on this point. That consensus seems to be that Mr. Landon is going to stick to discussion of the major problems as he sees them and that Mr. Roosevelt's strategy will be governed entirely by whatever changes take place in campaign conditions. In other words, these writers in Washington who have gone through many a harried political battle, seem to feel that Mr. Roosevelt's campaign strategy is going to be exactly like the policies he has followed in his present administration. By that I mean, to quote the President's own words, that "If one thing fails, we will try something else." There is the conviction among these same writers that Governor Landon will resort to no oratorical nourisnes nor wiu ne employ any of the tactics that Mr. Roosevelt has so often used in his fireside radio chats. Further, it is quite evident, I believe, that Governor Landon will make the burden of his plea to the American people an appeal to restore what he considers to be the American form of government. It was quite obvious from his acceptance speech, as it has been evident in some of his precampaign pronouncements, that he favors the common sense idea in government management and that he will permit nothing to swerve him from that course. But it should be said, it seems to me, that if Governor Landon is able to maintain that plane throughout his campaign, he will be deserving of great commendation. There are many observers here who believe he has undertaken a task of the most difficult kind. The governor has bu'it up or others have built up aroind him an atmosphere of simplicity. It has reached a high pitch. The question is?can he keep the campaign attuned to that pitch from now until November? If he does, he will surprise a great many observers. Lately, I have heard through underground channels that Democratic Chairman FarFarley ley is getting a Irked little irk id at the methods employed by the youthful John Hamilton, who is chairman of the Republicans. "Big Jim" has taken a leave of absence as postmaster general, you will remember, in order to devote his time to re-electing President Roosevelt. He is now in a position to battle and, judging by his record, he can be expected to carry on a vigorous fight. That makes it all the more surprising to know that "Big Jim" has grown a little bit peevish as a result of the nudging and the razing that the red-headed Republican chairman has been handing him. Six weeks elapsed between the nomination of Governor Landon and the date of his formal notification. During this time-, Mr. Hamilton alone had to carry the Republican ball. He made numerous speeches and minced no words in any of them. He struck out straight from the shoulder at Mr. Farley. During that time, Mr. Hamilton really had no one firing back at him. It was exactly the same condition as obtained before the Republicans had selected a candidate and Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Farley had no one to fight back at them. The test for Mr. Hamilton, therefore, will come when Mr. Farley gets into action and the Democratic campaign is fully under way. He is young in national politics and some of the success of the Republican campaign is going to depend upon how Mr. Hamilton conducts himself, when Mr. Farley starts jibing and knocking down thj Republican chairman's ears in the heat of battle. There is another phase of the campaign that is going to be interesting to watch. For three years, Mr. Roosevelt has had open channels on the radio, has had the utmost freedom in picking his spots for delivering new pronouncements or his appeals for patience by the people. But that time has passed insofar as the President is concerned. He is now confronted with competition. What I am trying to say is that everywhere and every time the President speaks, he will speak with the knowledge that a fighting opposition is ready to leap on every word and every proposal that he makes. This is an entirely different circumstance than any Mr. Roosevelt has faced since he entered the White House March 4, 1933.

They took over their manager's jobs while still able to perform in 'r sprightly fashion. They starred in dc their own right while their example m undoubtedly inspired lesser teammates to reach hitherto (and since L then) unthought-of heights. g Now, when they are sorely tried ? by an assortment of the ailments which inevitably take toll of aging athletes, things do not add up the n? same. Reibers, Myatts, Leslies and m such folk are hired men of average be worth, but they simply do not pos- ^1 sess the spark that makes Terrys '? and oochranes. So, as has been apparent all season, the two man- se agers immediately are beset by b? problems even more vexing than -81' thyroids or sciatica while attempt- so ing to readjust their baseball lives. ta If the law of averages operated properly there could be some compensation for all this. Blood "? streams, which formerly had to do 1 double duty while generating both base blows and strategy, could be entirely at the service of deep thinking. In place of the line drives . which once encouraged their championship ambitions the Tigers and al| the Giants could be inspired by w daily strokes of managerial genius. Id This, of course, would indicate a most sublime future but, unfortu- w nately, neither Hoyle nor Iiughie in has much influence with the law of -n averages. Both Bill and I.Iickey are men of ^ action. They seem to function best, mentally as well as physically, while on their feet in the midst of jJs heated action. Probably a proper u:_ sr appreciauun ui ma uwu musv-iuai jg possibilities has inspired each of ^ these managers as much as it has m inspired his followers. w Undoubtedly this has been true sp of Terry during the past two years. j,a Without attempting to second guess ar a guy who has been trying hard re in the midst of severe handicaps g; most fans are aware that he is cp a far better manager when play- pl ing than whet spending an afternoon in the dugout.
