MENTAL HAlTEIilNGS IN Ire
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Special to The .Democratj
Washington, July 27.?With the |:,i
President fishing for wahoos and
rooster fish off the coast of Lower {
California. Washington political oh- ;
servers are trying to make a fan ! T
appraisal of the effects of his cross- j111
continent speaking tour. while the j
economists ;n the government service i G
are studying the business situation j H
and putting forth forecasts of recov- .%v
ery with more optimism than has | h>
heer. prevalent here for a year or j s*
more. jvi
The two things tie logetiiet The J ^
political future of Roosevelt and his i c*
party is dependent to ? considerable
degree upon the extent of business
recovery between now and the
congressional elections.
The present signs indicate chat or- j ^
dinary citizens will not he feeling

since last fall. \ xc
Frorr- the President's tour two po- j 2
litical conclusions are being drawn in |
which the most experienced observers ^
here concur. One is that there has jbeer,
an asnazing comeback in Mr.; Uj
Roosevelt's personal popularity, at j t'r
least in the sections of the country v<
which he visiter. m
The other conclusion is that the j te
President took the advice of the i n<
Democratic national chairman. Mr j si
Farley, and did not try to read out ;

Garner's Views
Down in Texas Vice President Gar

rek a third term as vice president
his might mean anything or noth
If. as believed by niar.v here. Mr
amcr has his eye on the U~hit<
case in 1940. it might mean that h<
as cutting himself forward as th?
ead of the Democratic ticket. 1
ems definitely to mean that thi
ice president doesn't think tin
resident should seek a third term
