Washington, August 20. Two
things stimulated the anxiety of
Senators and Representatives to get
through the session of Congress and
go home to inspect their political
fences. One of these was the result
of the bye-election in Rhode Island
last week, when what was supposed
to be a safe Democratic district in a
Democratic state elected a Republi
can Congressman on a strictly New
Deal issue. The other was the pub
lic demand by former President
Hoover for the disclosure by Presi
dent Roosevelt of his intentions as
to amer/ding the Constitution in
order to further centralize power in
Washington. Those two strictly
political events caused -even more
of a turmoil than the rejection by
the Senate Finance Committee of
the tax bill drafted by the House
committee, and the substitution for
it of a bill which coilformed very
closely indeed to the La Rollette
plan of spreading the income tax
down farther in the lower brackets
than it has ever been.
That proved to be a flash in the
pan when it became evident that
Administration leaders would not
go along but it has complicated the
tax* bill situation so that no one can
guess what will happen.
The Rhode Island Upset
The Rhode Island election
brought home to Administration
partisans, who have been somewhat
skeptical about the tales of rebel
lion on the Atlantic Coast, the reali
zation that there might; be some
thing in those stories. Stripped of
other complications, the Rhode
Island campaign was chiefly on the
issue of the cotton processing tax
under the A. A. A. Rightly or
wrongly, voters in the Rhode Island
mill towns blamed the processing
tax for the shutting down of many
cotton mills. To their opposition
to this phase of the New Deal was
added the vote of the wealthy New
port residents, who were becoming
nervous over the President's avowed

desire to impose much heavier
taxes on great estates and inheri
tances. ,
Politicians, being human, always
"try to find a scapegoat on whom to
lay the blame for untoward happen
ings. In this instance the fingers
of Democratic spokesmen are point
ing at Secretary Wallace. The inti
mation is that Mr. Wallace, in his
oublic utterances, has laid altogether
coo much stress on the benefits to
the western farmers from the .pro
cessing tax, and has been too con
temptuous of the tariff on imports,
upon which the industrial East so
largely relies for protection. The
incident, however, has served to
strengthen the belief that a combi
nation of West and South against
the East is the best political
strategy for the Democratic party.
Western farmers are assumed to be
as unanimously for the processing
tax as the Rhode Island voters
were opposed to it.
Mr. Hoover's Bid
Mr. Hoover's challenge to the
Administration on the Constitu
tional iss.ue is regarded here as a
more definite assumption of leader
ship of the Opposition than he had
previously taken. It is interpreted
by most Democrats and a great
many Republicans as a definite bid
on Mr. Hoover's part for the Re
publican nomination in 1936. There
is, of course, a natural desire on
the part of Democratic politicians
to force every possible Republican
candidate into the open. It is much
easier to throw bricks at a man
than at an entire party. But ex
perienced political observers are
pointing out that in the past fifty
years, with one or two exceptions,
there has been no .centering upon
any particular candidate on the part
of whichever party happened to be
in opposition to the existing Ad
ministration, until well along in the
Spring of election year.
That President Roosevelt will
pick up Mr. Hoover's challenge on
his "swing around the circle" next
month and declare he has no desire
to tamper with the Constitution, is
the expectations of his intimates.
It is probably nothing but irre
sponsible gossip, but one hears the
suggestion advanced around Wash
ington that Alice Roosevelt Long
worth would make a good running
mate for whomever the Republicans
nominate for President. Whether
the country is ready for a woman
in the Vice-Presidency nobody
pretends to say, but those who sug
gest President Franklin Roosevelt's
fifth cousin point out that her
name on the ticket might swing a
lot of women voters into line.
