Just Who Is On President’s
List, However, Is Favorite
Guessing Game In Capitol
Cloakrooms, But There Is
No Unanimity
Washington, President Roose
velt’s observation last week that
! there were a dozen charming
ycung men who might be classed
as potential presidential candi
dates set political tongues to wag
ging so fast that by today the
list had been built up to three
limes that number.
Just who was on the President’s
list was a favorite guessing game
in capitol cloakrooms, but there
was no unanimity of opinion. Mr.
Roosevelt did not mention any
names, merely telling reporters
who wanted to talk about Paul
V. McNutt that he thought the
new federal security administra
tion would not be found running
as a candidate any more than a
dozen others, some of them in the
cabinet.
Senator Ellender (D., La.), said
the President’s list “might inclu
de:”
Harry Hopkins, secretary of
commerce and former relief
chieftain; Frank Murphy, attorn
ey general and former governor
of Michigan; Joseph P. Kennedy,
ambassador to England and for
mer security commission head;
W. O. Douglas, new supreme
court justice and former SEC
chief; Henry A. Wallace, secre
tary of agriculture; and Robert
H. Jackson, solicitor general.
The Louisiana senator pointed
out that all of these, like McNutt,
held important places in the new
deal and were in general agree
ment with Roosevelt policies.
Senator Adams, (D., Col.), who
frequently has differed with the
administration, said the senate
alone provided more than a dozen
potential candidates and listed
these Democrats: Senator Bark
ley (Ky.), Clark (Mo.), Byrd
(Va.), Byrnes (S. C.,), Harrison
(Miss.), Reynolds, (N. C.,), and
Donahey (Ohio).
If the President included Re
publican possibilities, Adams
‘kid the following senators should
be listed: Vandenberg (Mich.)
| Taft (Ohio), Bridges (N. H.), and
Austin (Vt.).
Senator Minton (D., Ind.), one
of the leaders in the McNutt
presidential boom, when asked a
bout the presidential list of a
dozen, said “I don’t know of any
body but McNutt and possibly
Roosevelt.”
As to Republicans, Minton said
“My favorite is Vandepberg. I
really think he’s the ablest citi
zen the Republicans offer. He
could be very satisfactory, if we
really want a conservative presi
dent.”
Among possible Republican
candidates, other senators, both
Republican and Democrats men
tioned Thomas E. Dewey, New
York district attorney.
Senator Bridges, whose friends
have been actively seeking the
Republican nomination for him,
said the Democratic list probably
included ‘‘Senator Clark and
Governor Stark of Missouri,
Senator Lucas cf Illinois, Senator
Wheeler and Postmaster General
Farley.”
Bridges said the Republican list
included “Senator Vandenberg,
Taft and Lodge and Governors
Bricker (Ohio) and James (Pa.)
Senator Norris, (Ind. Neb.)
summed it all up:
“I know there are at least three
or four dozen who want to be
president or at least could be
coaxed.’ the veteran Nebraska
independent said with a chuckle.

“Million Dollar
Legs” Feature
Betty And Jack
Those scrappy newlyweds, Bet
ty Grable and Jackie Coogan,
who have patched things up a
gain, appear together for the sec
ond time in the hilariously funny
campus comedy, “Million Dollar
Legs,” which arrives today for
two days at the Dolly Madison
theatre. In the picture, though,
it’s John Hartley who has the
key to Betty Co-ed’s heart.
Differing refreshingly from
previous college films, “Million
Dollar Legs”, is the humorous and
well-knit story of youth revolting
against the benevolent despotism
of a liberal donor who runs the
college because of his fat contri
butions, and of the student’s suc
cessful efforts in getting what
they want.
And that’s where the fun be
gins! Deprived of all collegiate
athletics except basketball? the
students are determined to have a

“We don’t want those who have

REFLECTIONS
By R. M. SPENCER
' ’ >_
IN SPITE OF IT
__________ v J
Go to the mouth of any river.
What do you find? Debris of all
kinds littering the beach. It Float
ed down the river; when the
current no longer carried it, it
came to rest.
Man’s inclination is to (float.
It is hard work to go against the
current. Were
it not for
that something
within our
hearts which
says, “Keep
on”, “Fight”,
I “Your reward
is in white wa
ter”, we, too,
would branch
ourselves, a-
H£~~’ at
way from the stream of life, on
the shore of inactivity. There our
ambitions would bleach like the
timbers of a shipwreck.
Man in his search for wealth
finds it where tlje going is the
toughest. He finds his greatest
contentment when he is busiest;
his wits pitted against the many,
his ability against the ability of
others, his strength and enduran
ce pitted against the strength and
endurance of his contemporaries.
Happiness comes from winning
in spite of obstacles.
Swift water cuts the deepest
canyon; success is found in the
pcnflicts of life. Breast the stream!
Fight your Way to the top! You
can! All it takes is perseverance.
