He runs for Presi­ dent every 4 years, but nev­ er gets elected. He don't want to get elected—he just wants to run. He has no wor­ ries about fights between his Top men—he bus none of same. And while we are un Bureaus and Top men, the fussin' is getting brisker, as new ones edge in us the old ones are edged out.

Congress is beginning to see the light and is com­ mencing to show a few first signs of spunk. Congress has sure bee nshoved around. But back to Mr. Thomas. He asked for time on the ra­ dio to unswer a broadcast from Bremerton by one of his opponents. They turned him down at first, but he showed fight, and won »at— folks like that kind of guy. But his socialist party has been so elbowed in on, by bureaucrats, which has been pilfering his ideas, that Mr. Thomas may have to dig up a new name for his outfit— or go out of business.
