Expected To Get Nomina

At Cleveland
(Special to The Pre»»-MacJonian)
WASHlN(j'l'O.N, June 3.—'I'hc po
litical picture, which still fo(,u-.f-.
chicfly upon the Republican Na
tional C'onvention which meets at
Cleveland next week, appears to bt
Ketting clearer. All of the si^ns
Iioint now to the .noininatioti of
i.ov, Alfred M. I.andon by the Ke-
)iU'blicans on the second ur third
^ballot.
I'^stiniates of his strength made
by several different ex]K-rieiiced
jiolitical strategists are in substan
tial aKreement. He v\ill have 34X in
structed delegates who will, ot
course, vote ff)r him ihi the first
ballot. There will bv about l.V.l
votes for “favorite sons” on this
first ballot, most of whom, as wei
as a large percentage of the Knox
and Horah delegates, are exin-cted
to swing to I.andon on the second
or third balhjt.
On the I )euiocratic side the most
important event affecting the
party’s proS|)ects is the declaration
of (iov. Lehman of .\cw York that
he will not he a candidate for re
flection. ,\lr. Roosevelt can con
ceivably be reelected with(jut Xevv
York, but his friends are concerncl
over his pros]ject in his home state
with anyone else than Mr. I.chnian
running for Governor. Lehman has
■been the greatest vote-getter the
Democrats have ever had in Xew
York. With most \f)tei's voting the
straight ticket, (;ov. Lehman’s pop
ularity would hel|i greatly to carry
New York for tlic Adnn'nislration.

Congress don’t want to complicate
the Presidential campaign by bring
ing the Constitution issue to the
fore.
Labor Relations Act
The strongest demand for giving
the Federal Ciovernment more

in the ranks of organized labor.
Labor leaders feel that the Labor
Relations Act will be declared un
constitutional when it reaches the
Supreme Court, and the same ap

(Special to The Press-Maconian)
WASmXtiTON, Jiuu' 3. —The
majority leaders in Congress are
trying to speed thinjrs up so as to
adjourn by June 6. The only two
pieces of legislatiort which are label
led “must” arc the new tax bill and
the relief approi)riation. .And liot
all is clear sailing fr>r either of
feet of the new law will be, and
considerable doubt will be. express
ed as to whether it will raise the
necessary additional revenue. How
ever, it will be a stop-gap which
may reduce the amount which the
(iov'trnment will have to borrow to
carry over the next fiscal year.
Relief and How
The relief appropriation has been
comj)licated by the desire of many
influential leaders in both Houses
them.
'I'he outlook now is that the tax to prescribe how future relief mon-
measure as it finally gets onto the ey shall be spent and by -whom,
statute books will amount to a net Secretary Ickes would like to have

anticipation of the

and the Walsh-Healey bill which
would give Washington complete
control of hours and w'ages of all
concerns having Government con
tracts.
That a constitutional amendment
may not be necessary to extend
federal powers in case ?vfr. Roose
velt was reelected is being pointed
out by some observers. An alterna
tive that is now being seriously
discussed is the suggestion that
Congress could readily enact laws
