I
Church Minstrel
Show Set Oct. 6th
An evening of fun and good
fellowship is in store for those
who attend the social evening at
the Federated Church Wednes
day night, Oct. 6, at 8 p.m.
The program will be sponsor
ed by the drama club of the
church, and will consist of a min
strel show entitled ‘Swanee Riv
er Minstrels”.
At any rate it will be fun to
try and to listen to their music
and wisecracks. There are eight
een in the cast. Refreshments
will be served.
There will be an admission
charge of thirty-five cents for
children, and fifty cents for ad
ults. The proceeds from the en
tertanment will go to the treas
ury of the drama club and be
used to finance the other produc
tions planned for the coming
season, and for the purchase of
additional stage equipment. The
plays turned out by the club last
year, we believe, prove that this
is a worthy undertaking.
Tickets are on sale now, and
may be had at the parsonage, or
from various children. Or they
may be obtained at the doer.
Only two hundred will be sold
however, as the capacity of the
house is limited.
Mrs, G. E. Krause of Juneau,
Alaska, and her son, Irving, are
scheduled to arrive in Washing
ton. Irving has received an ap
pointment to the United States
Military Academy at West Point,
and it is likely that he will enter
a preparatory school in Washing
ton for the coming year.

NEW YORK STATE CENTER
POLITICS AGAIN FOLLOW
ING MAYORS ELECTION
By Preston Grover
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29, —
Many a new dealer has boasted
that 8 major achievement of the
Roosevelt regime has been the
moving “of the real capitol of the
United States” from New York
back to Washington, D. C.
Roosevelt partisans have de
clared that before “the New Deal
returned t£e plain people to au
thority”, New York’s financial
barons exercised a more or less

ernmental polici.s which they de
scribed as amounting to a "dict
atorship for a privileged few.”
With the Roosevelt “revolu
tion", the less opulent South and
West wsre said to have leaped
into the poltieal saddle—riding

New York Eclipsed
In the 1936 race for the Presi
dency, with its sharply divergent
polls and prognostications of vot
er preference, the political sharps
as usual—excepting Mr. Farley,
of course,—red-penciled New
York state with its large elector
al vote as a very possible deter
minant of who would be the
winner.
But when the Roosevelt jugger
naut rumbled to a new record in
opposition-crushing, even the Em
pire State’s prestige as a politi
cal factor was eclipsed by a
sweep that fastened the Demo
cratic label on every state except
Maine and Vermont.
But now New York has moved
back into the very center of the
political picture, with the prog
; nosticators predicting that the
future of the New Deal may de
pend in large measure upon the
actions of the new mayor of New
York.
They figured before the elec
tion that if anti-Roosevelt Al
fred E. Smith and Tammany lead
er Christopher Sullivan won the
mayoralty nomination for Sen
|ator Royal CopeLand over Justice
Jeremiah Mahoney, backed by
New Deal Democrats, they might
; gain control of the entire party
'organization in New York City.
Even' if Mayor LaGuairdia, sy
mpathetic to the New Deal, de
feated Copeland in the finals.
(Smith and Sullivan figured they
| would be able to retain control
of the party organization in the
city and take an anti- Roosevelt
delegation to the 1940 Demo
cratic convention.
Combined with conservative
democrats from the South, the
Tammany delegation might have
made the going tough for any
New Deal candidate for the Pres
dential nomination.
Too Soon to Predict
Such appraisal of the possible
! power of aniti-Roosevelt forces at
the next convention is predicated
upon a sizeable contingent from
the South being hostile to Mr.
Roosevelt or any candidate he fa
vors for the nomination.
Veteran politicos however, be
jlieve it a bit premature to begin
counting on formidable south
I
ern opposition to the President,
particularly at a time when he
may be preparing to give the go
ahead signal on millions of doll
ars in loans to Dixie’s cotton
farmers.

had no particular liking for the
