Politico decline to take seriously those two surveys showing Postmaster General s Farley as the most I popular choice lor $1940. Somehow the political managing fond of this presi dential business Ihna always ieen gconsldered separ- at and entirely Niga distinct from the I office-hold tog1 end. I Perhaps that old idea is founded on l'u u l Mallon the suppo s 1 1 1 o n that candidates must always be sin less, while their managers are expect Ml to be capable of Indiscretions. Never the twain have, met, but do not be too sure they will not this time. For one thing. Postmaster General Farley has not missed reading those two surveys suggesting him as- the people's man. There are Inner Indications that he has not taken the matter as lightly as the old-time politicians here, who, after all, are merely thinking that, because it has never been done be fore, it cannot be done now. He has moved so genially and quietly they do not realize the extent of his per sonal friendships and the fact that 'ie Is closer to the president than any other possible candidate yet suggest ed. Lately he has made more speeches fir the president's court plan and has otherwise done more to put It over than anyone else. A phase of the scope of Mr. Faxley'e superior possibilities la revealed In a bill wiilch recently passed the house almost unnoticed. It has been on the general's desk during the last few days, awaiting hte suggestions before the senate takes It up. The bill Is a remodeled one from iast session, known as an act to put postmasters under civil service, but It really puts them under Farley., It gives him power in the future to name postmasters without confirma- tlon by the senate.
