| Washington, Nov. 20 ? Both frieada
and foes of the Administration pro
fess to find satisfaction, in the results
of lihe recent elections in different,
parts of the United States. A go <ii
deal depends on the point of view, buL
the more serious-minded among the
President's advisers look on the
record of the vote as sounding at le*?t
a warning note.
The reputation of Postmaster Gen
eral Farley a? a political strategist
suffered somewhat of a set-back. Ho
Biijjeeted the New Deal issue into tfcf
New York legislative campaign, na-i
that enables Republicans to chortlo
over ri'gaining control of *he StaW.
Assembly. Since the assembly has been
Republican, for 35 vvars except tor
the three Democratic ' 'landslide*'
elections uf 1910, 1912, and 1934, th.s
year's result s would, have attracted
little attention if Farley had not
chosen to make an Administration is
sue of it. IliF consolation is that the
tot?l Democratic vote cast in the
State was 370.000 more than the Re
publican. vote; and that in New York
City two Democratic Congressmen
were elected to fill vacancies
Political opinion here is settling
down to the beli.'f that i^ upon the
Solid South and (he A_,r:vian W
that Mr. RooscV'lt m. s! rely for ro
elocion. That is one reason why the
Democratic leaders are concerned ovej
the rising popularity of Governor Alf
Landon of Kansas as a Republi?ai
President ial possibility.
Admitting that it will be a struggle
iin the states east of the Mississippi
and North of the Ohio, they do no*
like the prospect of going up against
a eandidate who would be practicallv
certain of carrying Kansas, his horn.'
state and whose chance in all the ro~!
of the Missouri Valley states would b.:
better than that ' f anyone else so far
<pni'ior?w4'hy a?)L Eepu^lican group
gossip' iff* RepubVJcan circles
i) thfre is ah " under-cover" can
didate being groomed for the party's
nomination in 1936, just as Scnatoi
Warren O. Harding was held under
cover as a la.-t-minnte surprise can
didate In 1920. The gossips say that
Senator L. J. Dickenson of Towa ha?
pledges of support from twenty or so
members of the Republican !vational
Committee, and that all over the coun
trv party "regulars" arc being bned
up for him. Stranger thing- have h p
pencil in politics.
' Senator Dickinson's record is clear
and clean. Geographically he comes
from a pivotal state in the heart oi
the most debatable ground in the
whole rolion, ai.'I those who know h.rn
best say that he has all the quainn
of personality and political sagacity
which the Opposition candidate of
next vcar, whoever he may be, must
have. Senator Dickinson wx; tempore
rv ?hairman of IW last FwcUicm
National Convention.
Soiiators and Representatives are b?
Rinning to trickle back to Washington
most of them bringing reversed ide i?
of whmt the folks back home arc
thinking and Tshat they want. Ex
pressions by many of these to their
Washington intimates are taken to in
dieatc, that Congress, which will con
vene in only a 'ittle more than a
month, will show m?re inclination t ?
tell the President what lie ought '?>
db, than to let him tell them. The out
look is for strong resisto'jee to a tr
aditional reform legi^at'on, and .i
strong determination to put throuuh ?
bonus bill.
If the teni]?er of Congress can ht
gauged by the lalk currently heard,
there isn't a ehurce of a iif,w XRA
bill, nor a 30-hour week lav, ir. spite
of the pressure 4 hat will he exerted
by the Labor lobby for both of the. *
measures. Likewise, the reports of
returning members from the Farm
Belt, so far , are that there isr. 'i
enough public sentiment behind the
Frarier-Lemke farm mortgage green
back bill to warrant a fight. for it.
