HOW, HIS LAST, BUT T'S 6001

sly Political Role Soon to Be Lot of Farley in Campaign.

For it probably is Big Jim's last show as master of cer . Four hence the show will have new . And other things are likely happen more immediately to subinerge Mr, Farley, ~ In the last few days the Postmaster General-Nationa] Chairmanew York Btate Chairman has beome a major issue in the campaign, and by presidential edict he is ex‘pected soon to quit the Cabinet. His Presence in the official family circle been emphasized in all the attacks on his patronage activities.

The Show Must Go On

He will become merely the polit4cal generalissimo. That of course will keep him in the limelight until ~ November, but he will be subject to attack strictly on a political basis, and not as a government official With a phone handy to hire and fire in a dozen departments, to say nothing of his immediate control grt postmasterships throughout the nd.

Knowing all this, “before his big show. it bright enough and to warm his soul. . Months of attention to detail brought fruition today in a cross between a circus and ga crusade, with band and pipe organ at the convention hall synchronized, after long practice, to hit the same note at once when the time comes to whip up enthusiasm.

Big Job Faces Him

All the fractional delegates have seats. Two days ago Mr. Farley gave orders that even the most insignificant eighth -of - ga - delegate must have a seat on the main floor and not in the galleries, where some of them had been placed. The tickets had to be renumbered. Ahead of the six-foot-four fellow With the friendly smile as he raps the gavel and starts the show lies a big job in the re-election of his friend Franklin Roosevelt, but much of his work is behind him. Four years ago some one else banged the gavel and Jim Parley was busy about the floor, checking on delegations, keeping an eye on . his friend Al Smith, eating little, ~~ gleeping less. Back of that fight to nominate Mr. Roosevelt were weeks of misslonary work. by the man they laughingly called “the amateur ~ politician,” who roamed the country ~ selling the Governor of New York

recent and bitter memory? Sees G. 0. P. Unchanged Fortunately for us and for the country, we know now that the Old Dealers stand right where they have always stood. The convention at Cleveland, both in manner and method, revealed once more that old habits are not abandoned. I am not trying to stir the members of the committee which has served so faithfully, or the delegates to this convention, into any frenzy of excitement by stressing the gravity of what lies ahead of us, and which makes this campaign different from the ordinary political struggle inseparable from a presidential election. i I merely wish to impress on all of you the significance of the task to which we are commiiting ourselves. I want to point out that while the political skies seem fair for our party and our destined candidates, and all of us believe that the country will echo our desires in unmeasured enthusiasm, and .a record majority, confidence in the outcome is not enough. The consequences of the coming election are vital to the future of this nation. Because of their gravity no one of us dares do less than his unmost towards swelling the ma-

be so overwhelming, so conclusive, so compelling that nobody can doubt that the country is united in its determination that there shall be no backward step in our progress,

§ 1 § § Jim Farley stands before the dele- |

gates today after nearly four years

on the firing line. He has taken the rap for passing out jobs to Democrats, been accused of using relief « for politics, has become the Administration “whipping hoy.” It may be said that giving jobs to members of the party is nothing new and that Republicans who come plain so dolefully did the same thing for years—notably after eight years of Woodrow Wilson, when they swept through the government with A broad broom. Republican complaints are matched by Democratic complaints that too many Republicans have been given jobs.

He Can Take It, Anyway

Jim Farley has taken the brick"bats with a smile. Everybody in Washington knows that he has been ., eriticized for some things that were ordered from higher up. Thus he has diverted the fire to himself—and he must have winced under the fusillade at times. But the fire is becoming too hot— not for Jim Farley, but for the Administration itself. ~ So he is to be removed from . among the officers in the pilot house . and relegated to the engine room. ' He knows that the machinery is In good shape. Republicans will concede that—and there may be a bit of envy mixed up with their

pious deplorings. GOES TO CONVENTION

Then I shall relapse into my status as a delegate from the State of New York. { Before I relinquish this gavel I wish to make a brief report on the work of the national organization since it assumed direction of the party’s affairs at the 1932 convention. That convention inaugurated 2 new era in our country’s affairs. Through the masterful work of the candidates of the 1932 convention and the Congresses which were elected in sympathy with them, our country has been lifted out of the worst depression in our history on to a fair highway that leads to permanent prosperity. Ordinarily, as you know, the national committee of dur own and of the minority party fall into a deep sleep at the close of a convention and hibernate for four years.

Roosevelt sought to be a dictator. Then it was that the laws Congress had enacted, and for which many of the Senators and Representatives of their own party had voted, were denounced as being intended to make our country a socialistic and communistic state. Then it was that they proclaimed that the measures undertaken and functioning successfully to bring back a restoration of business, deCrease unemployment, and to take care of the jobless until such time as returning prosperity would reabsorb them into normal industry, were all the product of dreamers and visionaries,

State Support Recognized

Anybody unfamiliar with American politics would have gathered from these outeries that our hardworking, systematic, public-serving President was sitting in the White House with a war helmet on his head, booted and spurred, and ready to lead a bayonet charge on Congress if it hesitated in carrying out his despotic orders. Under these conditions, we naturally had to get busy. I will not attempt to outline for you the activities of the organizations in the various sections of the country, but I do want to tell you that, without exception, the state Democratic duthorities co-operated effectively and enthusiastically, and I want to thank them publicly for their loyalty, which in no small degree is responsible for the state of confidence in which we meet today.

You are all familiar, I believe,

with the work performed at national headquarters in Washington, and I feel authorized to express in your name our thanks to my colleagues

Sees Lack of Sincerity

Our friends, the enemy, had an | the

opportunity to be sincere. : If they had any regard for consistency, they would have renamed Herbert Hoover, who represents the classical attitude of their party. And then we would have had a direct and frank contest before the American people of the New Deal

and the Old Deal. They passed him | V:

Up despite his impassioned stampeding Speech, which naturally failed. For you can not stampede an elephant securely chained to the picket posts of evasion and straddling. They could have named Senator Borah, but he was earmarked with the stigma of liberalism. So they had to find a candidate whom they could present as conservative enough to meet the specifications of the Du Pont Liberty in the East, while a fiercely liberal in the We ppearing Nobody takes the Cleveland platform seriously—not even our political adversaries. E The leading Republican newspaper at the national capital in a painful effort to make the document sound like sense said in its appraisal of the Republican declaration of principles:, “On the whole the platform avoids the mistake of ‘being too Specific, properly concentrating on principles.” It mentions some of what it terms “not infrequent conflicts between an excellent generality and a stupid particularization.” However, it sums up the grand total by assuring the Republican nominee that he has a

It is no part of my function to suggest to the resolutions ttee the platform upon which our candidates will run. But .I do not think I am transgressing when I voice my belief that the document will be one to which they can commit themselves without laughing, and can swallow without choking. And, incidentally, it will be the only major party platform adopted this year of the sort. Declares Goal Definite Apart from everything else we have the advantage in this conven-

No pirate of the olden days chased a galleon that had escaped him more fiercely than will the backers of the Requblican Party pursue the enterprise of getting back the prize they held so long. The pursuing corsairs used whatever flag that served their. purpose to close with their quarry. They did not fly the skill and cross-bones banner, but raised the pennant under which the prize was
