Job for the government."
Political clearance the Indorse
ment of the ouffey machine waa not
demanded of actual relief clients
seeking Pennsylvania WPA employ
ment. But every one of all the thou
aanda of foremen, aupervlsors. time
checkers and the like 'were required
to be faithful Ouffey worker.
The method of hiring these well
paid WPA officials waa simple In
deed. When the egregious Mr. Jones
required men,, he notified the state
committee In Harrlsburg. The com
mittee checked over Its llsta of de
serving Democrats, supplied "clear
ance papers" to the best vote deliver
ers, and sent them along to Mr.
Jones. After that, a life of federal
bounty waa their fortunate lot.
Just aa the foremen and supervis
ors In the steel plants used to tell
the workmen to vote for Senator Pen
rose's Republicans, these WPA fore
men and supervisors told the relief
workers to vote for the Ouffey can
didates. In spite of the pious pro
testations of Washington WPA of
ficials, all this Is universally admit
ted by the franker Ouffey henchmen
As Mr. Bailey, the senator's secretary,
once said: "Those foremen are non
designated Jobs. If good Democrats
can have them, hell's bells, why
shouldn't they?"
The Ouffey political Juggernaut In
Pennsylvania Is now split asunder,
however, and the split haa even af
fected the Ouffey progress adminis
tration. Since clearance for all the
WPA foremen and the like went
through the state committee, moat of
these servanta of the people. owe their
allegiance to State chairman Law
rence and his friends, Messrs. Kelly
and McCloskey. In certain poor
wards in Philadelphia, an actual ma
jority of the Kelly-McCloskey com
mitteemen hold WPA Jobs.
It's possible to wrlt this column
at all because Senator Ouffey's ti
tanic efforts to recapture the Ouffey
progress administration have brought
the whole business Into the open.
The senator still retains the loyal
ty of J. Banks Hudson, auccessor to
the efficient Jones. And he has been

ervUore and similar officials. Not
Ion S one Schuler, who ran the
WPA in big liusema county, waa re
moved from his post. There have
been other signs that the Lawrence
ltes and Kellyltee in the WPA would
be frightened Into line for Ouffey.
Thus the recent letter of protest to
WPA Administrator Harry L. Hopkins,
from Philadelphia's Boss Kelly. Mr
Kelly waa not really decrying politics
In the WPA. He waa merely fearful
that Ouffey politics would be uo-
stltuted for Lawrence-Kelly-McCloe-key
politics. And the chances are
that they will be.
In the next few days, more shifts
of important officiate are said to be
scheduled. More top men will have
their heads cut off. And, above all.
thousanda of new foremen, aupervts
ors. time-checkers and so on are be
ing added to WPA'a Pennsylvania rolls
under the program of relief expan
sion. Before the primary on May 17,
the political army on the WPA roil
will probably have been Increased
from an original 8,000 to 11.000 or
even 13.000. The new men will be
all hand-picked Ouffeyitas, and, un
less the senator la a great deal leu
smart than he seems, the WPA vote
will be t ouffey vote.
If thla is the sort of thing that can
be done when the White House la
not especially Interested, one won
ders what will happen in Kentucky,
for example, where the defeat of
Senator Alben Berkley would be
body blow to the new deal.
