Washington, D. C, Oct. 31. With
every living soul in the national
capital dependent for food and shel
ter on politics, directly or indirectly,
the 000,000 residents of the District
of Columbia talk nothing else and
think nothing else, except whether
the new deal will be retained or
kicked out by the American voters
on November 5. The government
employees have been increased by
about 100,000 since the new deal.
.Thousands were appointed on strict
ly political pull and never acquired
civil service status. The future for
these government workers is pre
carious if the Republicans come into
power, for the Republicans have
had no chance at places on the gov
ernment payroll during the Roose
velt administration.
An army of government workers
live from hand to mouth (govern
ment pay is small and the cost of
living is high in Washington) and
as they cannot accumulate savings
and most of them are in debt, the
defeat of the new deal next Tues
day for these will be a tragedy.
However, the defeat of Hoover in
1932 was a tragedy for workers not
covered by civil service.
Residents of the District are vote
less, but as the population is conv
posed almost entirely of people who
came from the 48 states and can vote
back home, the voteless condition
of the District means little except
. to a few natives who have ambition
to serve in congress.
the judgment of the people.
Less than three weeks ago Mr.
Roosevelt discovered that his right
to a third term was being question
ed; that his candidacy was actually
receiving a serious threat from Will
kie. He found former supporters of
national reputation denouncing his
ambition for a third term and real
ized that he was in the fight of his
life. He abandoned his announced
plan not to make political talks and
he took off his coat and leaped into
the fray. Whether Mr. Roosevelt
rushed to his own defense in time
will not be known until next week.
Mr. Roosevelt was misled by the
inner circle at the White House
into believing that his vote would
be as large or larger than it was
four years ago when he carried all
but two of the 48 states. A month
ago Mr. Roosevelt was convinced
that his election was all over but
the shouting, that he would receive
practically all of the electoral votes.
That belief has been shattered and
he is out in the ring now fighting
with everything he has and he has
plenty to fight with.
Negotiations are in progress to in
augurate a great shipbuilding in
dustry on the Columbia and Wil
lamette rivers. The official news re
leases may be issued before this
letter is in print.

This is probably the only city of
its size in the United States where
the "funny" buttons of the cam
paign are not freely displayed. Only
an occasional "I want to be a cap
tain, too" and "No third term" and
"Give Ma Perkins the gate," and
"We don't want Eleanor, either," is
scr-n pinned to a coat. Government
workers, in or out of civil service,
would not wear such a slogan in the
office. For that matter, there are
very few Roosevelt buttons being
worn and scarcely any bumper
signs on automobiles. This is all
quite different from four years ago.
It is the consensus of opinion that
the election will be close a very
tight, finish that the final resurt
may not be known for a couple of
days after the balloting. Few ob
servers look for a landslide for the
reason that even the silent vote is
expected to come out in sufficiently
large proportions to cause a land
slide one way or the other. Statis
ticians say that 5,000,000 men and
women are stay-at-home voters.
Mr. Roosevelt is now waging the
most desperate campaign of his
career. In contrast, the elections of
1932 and 1936 were push-overs. In
1932 Mr. Roosevelt had a cinch be
cause the depression was on and
Hoover was blamed; the people vot
ed against Hoover. In 1936 the social
legislation of the first term was ap
pealing and although the depression
was still in effect, millions were
given existence wages through WPA.
Besides, a second term can almost
invariably be had by a president.
The picture in 1940 is different.
A president seeking a third term
violates one of the oldest of Am
erican traditions. Voters who sup
ported Mr. Roosevelt enthusiastic
ally in 1932 and 1936 are now op
posing him because of his ambition
for a third term.
It is difficult for a president to
know what the people think of
him, if the thinking is political. A
president any president is sur
rounded by a palace guard, the
White House favorites, who shield
him from adverse comments. The
flattery a president hears convinces
him that he is indispensable and he
takes the word of his intimates as
State Farm Bureau
Conclave, Nov. 14-15
The sixth annual convention of
the Oregon Farm Bureau Federa
tion will be held in the Columbia
Gorge hotel near Hood River on No
vember 14-15, according to Mac
Hoke, president of the federation.
Mr. Hoke states that the first day
will be devoted to committee meet
ings and committees representing
the principal commodities of Ore
gon have been appointed and are
expected to bring in constructive
suggestions for the forthcomng
year's program of the bureau.
The annual banquet of the organ
ization is to be held in the evening
of the 14th, with Chas. W Smith,
state leader of county agents, as
toastmaster.
Among other numbers will be an
address by W. H. Ogg, legislative
representative of the Amercan Farm
Bureau Federation, of Washington.
D. C. Mr. Ogg has been in close
touch with legislation affecting far
mers and he is well qualified to re
port on progress being made.
Several other prominent speakers
will be on the program. Problems
of concern to the delegates in at
tendance, according to President
Hoke, will be marketing surplus
production of our Oregon farms, in
cluding fruit, wheat, vegetables, etc.
These problems are expected to be
dealt with in a detailed manner by
the committees meeting on the 14th.
This will be the third meeting of
the Bureau at the Columbia Gorge
hotel. It is said that the hotel af
fords all the conveniences at reas
onable prices and in addition is lo
cated in one of the beauty spots of
Oregon.
