The men around the president have their faults, but self-interest Is not one of them. Without exception, they have refused vastly profitable offers to remain tn their present posts.

( AP) President Roosevelt, discussing the Idaho political situation, ,sald today Intervention In a pnrty primary by members of an opposing party raises a basic question of political morality.

Pope, an administration adherent, was defeated for renomtna tlon by D. Worth Clark.

Pope said afterward he would not reach a decision unt! he returns to Idaho. Friends of Maverick were unsuc cessful yesterday In getting the Tex" secretary of state to place his name on the ballot as an Independent can didate. ' The petition of the Mavcrkk forces was rejected by Edward Clark, Texas secretary ot state, on tha grouml Maverick, having entered the Demo cratic primary, had forfeited the rUtht to run aa an Independent.
