< ELEBRATI INAUGURAL ON
JACKSON DAY
President Roosevelt's inaugura­
tion took place on January 20, but
the formal Democratic celebration
of the historymaking third-term vic­
tory will not take place until March
29
That is the date that has been
fixed for the Jackson Day dinner,
the annual affair when all good
Democrats come to the aid of their
party with checks. In the past the
dinner usually has been held late in
January, but this year, because of
tlie inaugural and a reorganization
within the national committee, it has
quietly been decided to hold it in
March
National Chairman Ed Flynn and
his lieutenants hope to make the af­
fair bigger and more profitable than
ever before.
One plan is to stage dinners in a
lot more cities. Another, suggested
by Richard Reynolds, new national
treasurer, is to combine the victory
celebration with a reunion of all fac­
tions. that is. the return to the fold
of "absent" leaders
Among those Reynolds has in
mind are men like Al Smith and one­
time Budget Director Lewis Doug­
las. They now see eye-to-eye with
Roosevelt on foreign policy, and
Reynolds believes this opens the
way for a big party rapproche­
ment by expanding the Jackson Dey
celebration into a unity affair.
