An amazing number of Italian fann

Some of the families had been on the

more than 500 years.

His family has owned it- for 2,000

Part of the marsh has been made

ELECTION Of 1936
IS CHIEF SUBJECT
IN WASHINGTON
. ?
?Wjtthing'ton, Nov. 6{ Special)? No
body js talking anything but politics,
at the moment here in Washington.
With the Congressional elections out
I of the way, the talk is mainly about
preparations ijjj.;' the .Presidential
election of 1936. Naturally, the pre
dominant interest is in the ways
Whereby Mr. Roosevelt will main
tain his prestige and that of hi*
pai'tyj but there are still a few Re
publicans left, and the real puzzle
is how they are going *to make them
selves heard and what .they: will find
to make a party issue of between
now and two years from now.
The first problem which the Pres
ident will have to solve, looking ahead
to 1936, is how he can pacify the
war veterans wit hop t back-tracking
{SUIIiJtftt S1KH|IUU|iMp SUOIAOld Kiq UO
the imaiediate payment of the bouus.
The Administratis had, thought thai
question was nicely and permanent
ly shelved, until the American Le
the hit in its teeth, and voted by ar
gion in Lt.s Miami convention took
the bit in its teeth an dvoicd by an
overwhelming majority.- to demand
the bonus payment right now, wheth
er or no.
'' . ;1 -. < Vi ' '
There isn't a pa rticle -of doubt in
the? minds of anyone in Washington
that the new Congress will vote jnsi
the way the Legion wants it to. Th.*
veteran vote is too im]>ortant back
home to be overlooked. But with tin
President in the state of mind in
which he is today, he would veto ?
bill for immediate bonus* payment.
Whether it could1 be passed over his
v?to, which takes a two-thirds vyte.
in both houses, iv< another* question.
The House would surely override the
veto; the Senate is more doubtful.
But Mr. Roosevelt does hot want
the issue drawn so sh^ply.fi>ha4
He has had, for so. uptime, experts
working on a scheme, whereby -the
bonus burdeu would be passed on
to one or a group of the big in,S)iraucc
uompanics, under Government' {ruar
antee, of course. Precisely tint my y
not be the thing ultimately decided
upon, but the best guess jtossible
here is that there will be an Ad?|mi'
istration bill submitted to the next
Congress which will not involve tak
ing a huge' chunk of cash out of the
Treasury over nigtit. .....
Nobody can consider polities fnwn
the Democratic point of view,
ing* 1936 in mind, without thinking
of two names whose mention in;
Washington provokes expression., of
regrot. "that they have to be oon^i
sideml. Those are Huey Ixmg $nd
Upton Sinclair. "*?
Sinclair, long a maverick, now has
the party brand on him, and the par
ty as a whole is going to be held
responsible, by the unthinking, for
his utterances from now on. And
there is no way to muzzle Upton
Sinclair; he is hound to talk.
As for Huey Long, who has l>ecn
FORMER JACKSON
COUNTY SHERIFF
PASSES TUESDAY
James W. Buchanan, who served
this county as sheriff' for four years,
died at his home near -Dillsboro,
early Tuesday morning, after a long
illness.
Mr. Buchanan, a ?member ?f ;i
pioneer family of this county; was
one of the best known men in the
r -
county. He numbered his friends by
the hundreds, and was for many
years a political and civic leader in
the county.
Funeral ajid interment are at Dills
boro, Wednesday.
Mr. Buchanan is survived by hih
widow, whoAvas a daughter of the
late Ramsejr"' Dills of Webster; one
daughter, Mis. J. M. Leatherwood.
of Dillsboro; two sons, .1. Ramsey
Buchanan, of Ilarriman, Tenn., ant!
Clyde Buchanan of Cleveland, Ohio
and-bv a numjber of grandchildren, ::
great many other relatives and n
host of friends.
characterized as "shrewd, smart
slick and ruthless," the present out
look is that he will go to the Demo
cratic Convention of 19.'Mi with -a. bi?
block 'of delegates pledged to himself
for President; ani while h< will .not
j get the none nit ion, he will have a
lot to say about the platform, the
party organization and perha|is?
even get himself nominated for Vice
i President.
| It begins -to look as if the Anwr
i ican Liberty league, which took 110
I active part in the Congressional cam
paign, might develop inito a sort o?
foot* of moderate liberalism, around
jwficn a^a nucleus a new party linc
wp might get is" a. question which de
|H-iids to a larg:- extent upon whether
the Roosevelt Administration 1 and
the Democratic Party continue to
give aid and comfort to the ulrta-rad- ,
ieal elements, which have been a
stronger undercover influence here I
than is generally realized, and who
arc far from having been eliminated
from the councils of the Administra
tion or of the party.
Should the Democrats swing more
toward liberalism and away from
Radicalism, then the plight of the
Republicans would seem almost hoj>e
less unless some new leadership
'springs up from an unexpected sou re
and some issue with a powerful mas
appeal which has not vet been
thought of can be brought forward.
There is no real belief here that
the patched-up truce between the
-President, and the bankers is genu
ine. The bankers still don't like to
told wharf they may not do or to
be compelled to swallow great is
sues of fiovenimeut bonds. The Prcs
ident still doesn't believe in the
good faith and public spirit of the
banking community as a whole. That
plans arc moving with considerable
swiftness for further control of tho
whole banking situation by Govern
irtent is generally believed by those
on the inside.
