, THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY. HERTFORD, N. G, FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1938 . .. . . . . . . PAGE THREES UjHCS AT VASIIluGTON By Hugo S. Sims, Washington Correspondent ' Iowa Primary Pleases the 6. Of P. And Tickles Some Democratic Antis The Iowa primary election, well advertised in advance as a test of the "New Deal purge" attacted national attention because Senator Guy M. Gillette, seeking the Democratic re-. nomination, was one of the nine Democratic senators facing the voters this year to oppose the Administra tion on the bill to reorganize the Su preme Court. Mr. Gillette won by a 2-1 vote over Representative Otha D. Wearn, who was the choice of Harry Hopkins, the "friend" of James Roosevelt, and who had the support of some closely associated with the President. The Democratic primary, however, was not a thorough test of the Adminis- . tration's strength. Secretary of Ag riculture Wallace, a power in Iowa politics, remained strictly neutral in Washington, but his his followers in Iowa were openly supporting Mr. Gillette. In addition, the Senator and his friends claimed the tacit backing of . . 1 LxJl 1 1 4.1. I Jim Farley ana unaouDieaiy aau V"5 support of practically the entire Democratic State ticket, including Governor Kraschel, who compared the records of the two candidates during the campaign, contending that the Senator, with the exception of the Court bill, has been a supporter of the President. Republicans in Iowa, who nominat ed former Senator Lester J. Dickinson to oppose Senator Gillette in the elec tion this Fall, were particularly pleased when the figures showed that around 260,000 persons participated - in the Republican primary, as com pared with about 140,000 in the Dem ocratic test. The total primary vote is far below the 621,750 votes cast for President Roosevelt and the Re publican party is considerably short of the 487,977 votes credited to Gov ernor Landon. National interest in the Democratic primary in Iowa reached a high point about two weeks prior to the voting, when Harry Hopkins, Administrator of the WPA, declared that if he were voting in Iowa he would vote for Representative Wearin on the basis of his record. This declaration on the part of Mr. Hopkins was widely denounced as a plain demand on WPA workers in Iowa to support Representative Wearin. Administration opponents immediately asserted that it was proof that the WPA fund was used for political purposes, in spite of the earlier declaration by Mr. Hopkins that WPA workers could vote as they pleased without fear of their jobs. After the result of the primary was apparent, it seemed certain that WPA workers did not exert themselves in behalf of Mr. Wearin. This was plain in Sioux City, where he polled only a few hundred votes although more than 4,000 WPA cases were in the community. In fact, some politi cal observers express the belief that the Hopkins' endorsement was some thing of a boomerang, Mr. Hopkins himself declared that the vote was a "refutation of those who accused me of playing politics." It seems fair to assume, on the basis of the Iowa primary, that a vote against the bill to reorganize the Supreme Court will not of itself, mean the defer.t of Democratic Sena tors. To make this vote a test of party regularity, as some of the ad visers of the President are anxious to do, even against the advice given by Jim Farley and other Democrats, was not successful strategy in Iowa. Moreover in view of- the recent deci sions, of the Supreme, Court, which is becoming more New Deal .than ever the question is somewhat academic and lacks a great deal of being a vital political issue. Where such a vote coincides with a record of opposition to the President, it is probable that the Democratic party machinery will be aligned against the candidate and the primary result will be different. - The Art of Being a Congressman la Not, After AIL Just a Pleasure Much has been written about the hot weather in 'Washington and the : summer temperature which -soars into the stratosphere, but capital heat does not worry the congressmen as much , ' aa the fires which have been started ' in theirstates by potential legislators, :: anxious to relieve them of the labors . connected with representing their constituents in Congress. With 435 seats in the House and 82 places in the Senate to be filled in the, election this Fall, ".those who iwill seek to retain their prestige and the $10,000 a year that goe with it, know, that- it is time for them to be gin to circulate t,home4Witb few exceptions, the. incumbents are anx ious to, continue, their,, Jenueliliaost ; of them face strenuous campaigns, - first in the party primaries where '. ambitious rivals seek to defeat them j and later in .the,,., general 1 election . where they come to grips with the , , ties. ; ; ; f.'UV"' v- " " . The life of a congressman is not a bed of roses. ' Most of them know "that the division in their districts are so close that if they offend a militant minority, .they are v doomed. Of course, there are exceptional ; in- 1- stances where a member of Congress practically has his electorate in his vest pocket, but such individuals are extremely rare. For most congress men, it is a fight to look ahead and properly weigh the issues, secure the proper "results" for constituents and, at the same time, avoid serious mis takes upon national issues which bring down the wrath of voters upon his head. Only a very few of the 467 con gressmen whose term of 'office ends with the present Congress contem plate retiring from public life. Most of them will make a bee-line to the home precinct and spend the next few months bragging about their accom plishments, exaggerating their im portance and generally boosting their stock by pardonable boasting and other less excusable devices. We do not mean to ridicul3 the congressmen in their efforts to be re elected. With few exceptions the tactics of one are the tactics of all. They are a necessary part of the political machine by which the peoi ; of the United States elect their reprc- sentatives. Moreover, in our poinion, most congressmen would be better statesmen if they were not afraid of the ignorance and prejudice of the voters in their states. In private life and in confidence, many of them ex hibit wisdom and tolerance in rela tion to public issues, but let them get on the stump, or in a public place, and, for the benefit of their elector ate, they do the expected. In fact, the voters of any states or con gressional district are represented by a congressman who is as good as they deserve. Congressmen who have been busy ever since the special session began last fall, have not failed to appro priate public money. Figures show that the total will be between eleven and twelve billion dollars, which will set a record for peace-time years. In spite of the wide-spread demand for economy and a balanced budget, the business recession has compelled huge increases in intended expenditures and the Social Security program has added to the tax bill. In addition to the appropriation measures, the congressmen have giv en serious attention to tax revision, naval expansion, highway aid, wages- hours, flood control, rivers and har bors money, civil aviation, relief and "pump-priming," low-cost housing and slum clearance, studies of mono polies and phosphate and forest re sources. In addition, necessary legis lation for agriculture was taken care of largely through the work of the special session. Even so, every congressman real izes, that there is much work ahead. Some of the problems that congress men deal with are recurrent, coming up year after year. In this class one might put, for the present, tax re vision and agricultural problems. If one likes to look ahead, we might mention the railroad problem, region al planning, government reorganiza tion, reciprocal taxation of Federal and State securities and salaries, neu trality problems and legislation to curb monopolies. Add to those listed in this brief paragraph the regular appropriation measures and you al most have enough work to keep the next Congress busy.
