with the man who |

land many wise men believe will, {support McNutt, That is why the Democrats want to nominate Mc- | Nutt.—Liberty. These two nationally circulated magazines, in issues this week, carried articles on Indiana's former Governor and his chances for becoming the next President. The American Mercury's article, by Herbert Corey, is entitled “Closeup of a Democratic Presidential candidate whose neighbors called him GREAT GOD M'NUTT.” Liberty’s article, by Frederick L. Colins, is entitled “Why Do the Demo-

jcrats Want to Nominate McNutt?”

“Make no mistake about it” writes Mr. Corey, “Paul McNutt is to be reckoned with.”

Boss of 21,000

He pointed out that as Federal Security Administrator he is the boss of 21,000 employees and an annual budget of about $800,000,000. Each of the five agencies under him is—"to be mealy-mouthed—in a position to get results politically. Each can get results if McNutt turns on the power. McNutt demonstrated in Indiana that he is not squeamish about using power.” Turning to the more personal aspects, Mr. Corey writes, “it is at | home that Paul Vories McNutt has amassed the largest body of twofisted, red-bandannaed knife-in-teeth followers. It is also at home that he has attracted the largest array of fears, hates and misgivings. “In Indiana, where he is most intimately known, the label of ‘Hoosier Hitler’ was slapped on him (by detractors; there he scared {labor by swinging the National { Guard into strike situations, and there he irritated most keenly the Midwestern prejudice against ‘strong’ men in high places.

Claims Enemies Afraid

“Those Indianians who follow McNutt do so less from affection that from the belief he is going somewhere. Those in opposition give him credit for no virtue whatever. But they are deathly afraid of him. “It amounts to this: McNutt’s followers claim that President Roosevelt has blessed McNutt's candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination. They produce good evidence in support of this, but no proof. “If this is so, then it will be MecNutt against the field at the 1940 convention. If it is not a fact, the indications are that P. V. McNutt will sustain one of the most comprehensive political butcherings on record.” “He is the handsomest man in public life since Harding—sun-lamp | tanned, silver-gray hair, brilliantly | white false teeth, and he remem- | bers names and faces. He probably (has sensibilities, but never worries {about them. He is ruthless and | hardboiled. And he is determined to be President,” Mr. Corey says.

Called Man of Action

Mr. Collins says that Mr. McNutt has made an excellent impression in Washington. “He is a man of great physical vigor, capable of prodigious work, and eager to do it. He has a well trained, active mind. He knows books and has read them. He knows men, too, and he has shown unusual ability in drawing men to him and holding their loyalty. He is a man of action. He can, and does, make up his own mind.

politician Roosevelt had put the cover on politician McNutt, since all the employees of all the agencies in his charge are protected by Civil Service from patronage seekers. Now they are not so sure.

“To the millions who are depending on the Federal Security Administration for support and comfort in their old age, the man at the head of that administration cannot help but become something like a god. In the few months he has held the job he has grown tremendously in political stature.

Holds F. D. R. Wants Murphy

“That Mr. Roosevelt wants Mr. McNutt to succeed him -does not (seem likely. He would doubtless prefer Frank Murphy, but, with the tide running strongly to the right, it might be unwise to kill the Attorney General's chances by running him now. “Who, then, if the President doesn’t choose to run, can the New Dealers consistently support? “Surely not John Nance Garner . . McNutt. on the other hand. the New Dealers can accept without stultifying themselves, and the Old Dealers can accept in the belief that anyway he is better than Roosevelt or any of the Roosevelt stooges. “That is why the Democrats want to nominate McNutt,” Mr. Collins says.

SENTENCED FOR SALE OF BEER TO MINOR

William Lizely, 40, of 1011 Dryer St, a tavern bartender, was fined $25 and costs and sentenced to 10 days in jail today on a charge of selling liquor to a minor. Lizely, a bartender at the Cabbage Patch Tavern, Pine and Harrison Sts, appeared in Municipal Court 3 before Judge John L. MecNelis. He was charged with violating the 1935 and 1939 Beverage Acts in selling a bottle of beer to a 19-year-old youth. The warrant was sworn by Officer Roy Porter. Two other witnesses also testified to having seen the transaction.
