ROOSEVELT ASCENDANCY
the Republican Old Guard may not be wor
rying much about the Borah victory in Wisconsin where
he captured nearly all the delegates to the Cleveland
convenion, Wisconsin being what it is n ditically. there’s
a definite note of confidence in tin returns for the New
Deal. In the advisory primary, 1 . iident Roosev ?lt ran
two to one ahead of the Republican ticket.
Since the height of the verbal attack on the Presi
dent and his policies in mid-winter there has been thru
out the nation a constant swing-back of the Chief Exe
cutive to popular favor. Political observers, just prior
to the widely heralded Liberty League banquet and the
introduction of A1 Smith as an open anti New Dealer,
were of the opinion that Mr. Roosevelt was in the midst
of a noticeable decline in popularity. Capitalizing on
the idea, his critics made much of it, but a series of ev
ents since that time has entirely changed the picture.
Roosevelt stocks are again in the ascendancy.
Arthur Krock. political authority for the New York
Times, writing to that paper from Washington says:
“The faces of the President’s opponents are length
ening with the re-election odds. Reports from every
quarter are that the strong drift against Mr. Roose
velt in the early winter has been markedly reversed.
This testimony comes to all the forecasters in the politi
cal community.”
Most observers feel that the President’s gains began
about th time or just after the Liberty League dinner.
That historical dinner probably was just in a setting of
vast wealth, men and women whose names are synony
mous in the public mind with riches; social and econo
mic privilege. There was A1 Smith, who had been des
cribed as a radical by those same people in 1928, and
for many years a Democratic war horse, espousing the
cause of power and wealth against the man and the poli
cies he himself in the past had advocated. The reason
is obvious why the idea didn't go over with the Ameri
can people.
Then there was the TVA decision, dealing with
electric power. This victory for New Deal legislation
had its bearing by revealing again the sincere and holi
est purpose of the President in public welfare—inter
preted quickly in most minds as paving the way for
cheaper power.
Tossing out the Agricultural Act was admittedly a
blow, but it has been overcome to a large degree by the
President’s immediate demand for substitute legislation

built within the limitations indicated in the decision.
The new farm act has been forthcoming and is meeting
warm recepton.
The President has clamped down on relief and
pointed the way toward curbing public expenditure.
These are but a few of significant things in the political
picture at the moment, but doubtless all of them have
had something to do with raising Roosevelt stocks to a
new high level. If the trend continues, it is not a all
impossible to see the President virtually as popular a
national figure as he was in 1932 when he was swept in
to office. Especially, in view of the fact that the Repub
licans are disorganized and battling among themselves
with no logical contender for the nomination on which
ihey can center. The Landon boom is losing momentum
and unless something exceptional is done to revive it,
it may well be almost extinct by convention time. Par
ieularly if Senator Borah keeps moving ahead, picking
up delegations to Cleveland en route, as he did in Wis
consin.—Juneau Empire.
MINING PROGRESS
The mining industry has had some tough going for
many years and especially during the years before the
depression, due to high wages, discouraging taxes and
unfavorable legislation.
But .many mining men stuck tenaciously to the
game, and now daylight is in sight. The rise in the
price of gold and silver, the renewed demand for metals
used in the industries, new technique, new processes
and new inventions have brought about a revival of
the mining industry.
More gold has been produced in this country than
for many years. Old mines which did not pay under
former conditions are being reopened and made to pay.
Many hundreds of thousands are being produced from
the operation of placers. Copper and iron mines clos
ed for long periods are being operated at a profit. There
is search for chrome, managanese, nickel, molybdenum.
and other metals in paying deposits for new uses which

The revival in mining has been marked. It has been
re-enacted in employment, in business for dealers and
manufacturers of mining equipment.
The Northwest is rich in minerals. This area has
many deposits of chrome, managanese, (nickel and oth
er metals of sufficient richness to pay for the mining
if operations are conducted on a large scale.) These de
posits are now attracting attention of large eastern min
ing interests.
Every encouragement possible should be given to
legitimate mining development.—Journal of Commerce,
