McNutt Glad to Be Back—Indiana Glad to See Him—It

Hoosiers in Washington By DANTEL M. KIDNEY

TASHINGTON, July 1, \ What the Governor ‘of North Carolina s2id to the Governor of South Carolina isn't goHing to be anv more important than what the former Governor of New York savs to the former Governor of Indiana when they meet at the White House next week, Fresh from his huge Hoosier homecoming, Paul V. McNutt will have ‘every right to feel rather cocky when he puts down his portfolio as High Commissioner of the Philippines on President Roosevelt's deck. According to all reports, he did a good job in the Orient and ¥. D. R. will have to thank him for it. What turn the conversation takes after thai is the matter of real importance, however, ior both are vitally interested in a big meeting which the Democrats are planning to hold somewhere next vear Tt is not expected that the President will teil the former Hoosier Governor anvthing special regarding his third term plans, if he has anv. But what Mr. McNutt mav learn is whether his own stock has gone up or slumped since his last visit here, At that time, it was reported the President told him that a White House list was being compiled of persons who just wouldn't do for the Democratic presidential nomination—and that the name McNutt was not on it. The Big Chief made it clear that while he might not insist on selecting his successor. he would exercise veto power at the 1040 Democratic national convention. So the question arises, where does McNutt stand now? In the inferim the episode of Governor Townsend sounding off against Senator VanNuvs (D. Ind.) from the White House steps and then the Hoosier Democratic organization renominating and re-electing him has been enacted. And the senior Senator has cast an anti-Administration vote at almost every opportunity. On the other hand, Senator Minton, a dved-in-the-wool MecNutt man, has remained 100 per cent loval to the New Deal. Roth he and the High Commissioner have publicly announced that the McNutt for President in 1940 campaign will fold up if Mr, Roosevelt wants a third term. » » »

A commentator close to the White House summed wp the matter, somewhat sarcastically. as follows: “The President is nsed to entertaining royalty lately, so he will take the Hoosier

Crown Prince's visit in his stride. He will he welcomed herve hlandlv, hut not like a prodigal san for whom there would he a fatted calf. “McNuti never will he the President's first choice for his successor, but it is a safe het that he comes a long ‘way ahead of Vice President Garner in his chances for the White House blessing.” > © % PEAKING of the fatted calf, one was barbecued by the Jouett Shouses Mondav night when the one-time Democratic leader and later Liberty League promoter and his wife entertained Senator and Mrs. VanNuvs at their Wolf Trap Farm in Virginia. The event was staged because the VanNuys are new neighbors on a farm nearby, ® % %»

Although he voted with the silver state Senators and Republicans to up the price of silver and take away the President's dollar devaluation powers, Senator VanNuyvs refused to reply to the Hyde Park charges that this was aiding Wall Street, speculators and weakening the financial structure of the country. “The people will understand my vote.” was all the senior Senator

would sav,

Later he told a reporter that he voted ‘the wav ‘he ‘did 'because Senator Vandenberg, possible G. O. P. Presidential nominee, asked him to do so. » » »

Qo he never stands on formality, Senator Minton often has startled the pompous bv doing the unexpected. The other dav he wanted to ask Rep. William H. Larrabee (D. Tnd.) something and =o just strolled over to Dr. Larrabee’s ‘office on the fourth floor of the new House office building. which is ‘on the opposite end of Capitol Hill from the Senate offices. One of the congressional secretaries commented : “Gee, that's the first time T ever saw a Senator in this building.” » » ” A Western congressman, who had a long ‘talk with President Roosevelt recently, came away convinced that he will take a third term. Name after name of possible Democratic nominees were mentioned and he reported that Mr. McNutt's name seemed to Strike as favorable a response As any. The congressman now favars a third term, with Mr, McNutt taking Mr. Garner's place on the ticket.
