Effective Work
L J ORE comment comes from Washington state on the
IVI effectiveness of Senator
national capital, despite his membership in. the current
ly minority party.
The Walla Walla Bulletin calls attention to this sit
uation, as follows :
An experience which officials ot the Whitman Centennial re
cently had in Teaching the desired authorities at the national cap
ital ia somewhat typical of conditions prevailing many years there.
Senator Charles L. McNary of Oregon, to whom the association
directed a request, obtained results promptly, after solons of this
state, members of the party in power, had made little headway.
McNary is-a republican, and Is known as the senate leader ot
the minority. Every senator and representative from thia state is
a democrat. Oddly, however, the Orcgonian goea on contacting
bureaus and officials from the president down, with effective re
sults. He even has time, and the ability, to look after, and get
action upon, matters outside his own state.
Senator McNary is thus viewed, outside his state as
well as in, as one of the most useful men in congress.
Whether it be in an election year or not, reasonable re
Quests for help have always received immediate and ef
fective attention from Senator McNary.
The Political. Seers
THE period of questionable political prediction is at
hand. Others on both sides of the political fence
may be expected soon to emulate Walter Gosslin, Gov
ernor Martin's secretary, who returned from a swing
over the state to tell how the 1,0 counties visited were
way over in the Roosevelt column. -
Such prognostications are common during every poli
tical campaign. They are designed to strengthen the
morale of workers and influence the bandwagon vote.
That's accepted political technique, but at best its not
very dependable prediction. - '
Out on a junket, these political prophets 'contact
few local 'leaders' who are working for the same
cause. They indulge in a lot of 'wish-thinking' and
'wish-talking' and they go on to the next county, mark
ing that just visited as definitely on their side of the
fence.. . -. ,
Not even local people know up ' to' election night
how most local contests are going to turn out If they
did, there wouldn't be such interest in vote returns as
Is shown at each election. Yet these political junketeers,
after a few hours' visit and after talking to a dozen or
so persons who want to make their visit pleasant by
rosy reports, tell almost to the vote how a county is go
ing to go.
Recently, there was some loud protest against the
Literary Digest poll. It was attacked as a factor that
would influence the bandwagon vote, although almost
every political worker is trying to do that all the time.
And the Digest poll, at least, was based on something
more than hotel-room confabs with a few local workers
and wish-thinkers.
Still A Chance
DECISION of the city council against going into the
health program as recently proposed by the state
health officer need not mean that there is no use at
tempting further to iron out the health problems and de
velop a unified program.
As we understand it, the chief objection of the city
board of health was to the federal feature. It felt,- wise
' ly enough, that the responsibility should be kept at
home, even at the expense of losing a little federal
money.
- But if the problems are as serious as were stated by
arious physicians and other citizens at the meetings
held here a month or so ago, there is need for further
study and the working out of some plan of action. Pos
sibly there are advantageous features of the federal aid
plan that could be embraced in a strictly local program.
, If local leadership can be called to the cause, and
A careful study made, there may yet be much accomplish
ed in the direction of an improved public health program.

Til Inside Story From
Tho Capital
a a
Uy PAUL M.I,U)N
Copyright 1936, by Paul Mullon
WASHINGTON, Murch 18. A
small group ot top business men
have already ordered their cigars
and begun smoking up for ' an.
other "smoke-flllod room" at the
Cleveland republican convention.
They are not going around
making speeches about it, but
they have an idea they enn noni'
innte "another Harding" (their
phrase). They have already pick
ed the mnu. .
Ho Is not one ot the candi
dates now being prominently
mentioned. The chief argument
being advanced tor him ia that
"he looks like a president." Also
that he Is "safer" than most of
those now receiving public at
tention. He will go into the con
vention with very few delegates,
nut it and when a stalemate de
velops, they hope to bring him
out ot the darkest of dark horse
alalia as the compromise winuer.
The advance grooming work so
far has been excellent, but It
will undoubtedly not work out
as planned. One reason Is that
a more popular choice will prob
ably dovolop out ot the existing
contest before the convention.
Another la that too many repub
lican authorities believe such i
course would be fatal.
a a a
HISTORICAL CORRECTION .
Incidentally; Mr. Harding was
not nominated In the old smoke-
tilled hotel room at the Chicago
convention, . as- popularly .sup
posed. Ho was chosen more than
a week beforo the convention by
less than half a doien ot the
party bigwigs mooting in an
other city. They saw the stale
mate coming and got together.
The widely advertised hotel room
meeting was called by them at
the proper time to got the minor
leaders In on the agreement and
to pass the word along.
This historical correction will
be made officially when one ot
the men who attended the earl
ier conference publishes his me
moirs In the next few years.
Political leaden are not so Im
provident In these modern days
aa to let nominations get down
to smoke-filled convention rooms.
That only happens In political
fairy tales.
REGRET
The lucky candidates In the
current melee will be the ones
who lose. Only those who have
been president or very close to
the Inside of the White House
can realize how - the presidency
haa wrecked many lives.' . The
trials and tribulations, and their
effect on health and personal en
joyment, really make the glamor
of being a big man in history
hardly worth while. .
It has never before been pub
lished, hat the same jovial Mr.'
Harding, . on bis inauguration
day, long before his real trou
bles started, regretted his own
election. He nudged his secre
tary, George Christian, as. he
passed through the senate cham
ber on his way to the Inaugural
stand, saying:
"George, being senator was
tory. Think of the Gothic cath
edral as a symbol of Its power
and Its aspiration. This civili
zation was built upon the ap
peal to authority, authority im
posed from without. In pontics
It meant absolnte monarchy. In
Industry it meant feudalism. In
religion it meant the authorita
tive church or the authoritative
book, that Is to say, the suppres
sion of freedom of thought and
freedom of conscience. In edu
cation it meant the training ot
the few who were destined to ex
ercise authority. However great
such a civilization might be, It
could not endure. Its founda
tions were not broad enough nor
deep enough.
Prayer: On God, kindle our
hearts with great resolve so that
with the vision of the Kingdom
of God In our minds we may en
list for life In the endless war
fare against all that degrades
and disappoints. Hasten the day
when the sun may shed Its light
upon an unbroken brotherhood
ot men and ot nations. In His
name. Amen. ,

DESTI.VY
The personal pains ot great
political auscosa were suggosled
to one of the eminent republi
can candidates not long ago by a
friend. The friend observed that
the candidate would never be as
contented In the White House as
where he then was. The candi
date ' admitted It, but said:
Those things are all beyond us.
If I am going to get It, that Is
my destiny and there ia no use
running away from It or resist
ing It" -
a a a
HELP?
It - Is difficult to prove how
much there is in the stories
going around that the New Deal
ers are encouraging toe uoran
republican candidacy. One of the
stories is worth telling, however,
only aa a humorous Improbabil
ity. It In related In tne senate
cloak room that the Idaho repub
lican was calling on Mr. Roose
velt at the White House some
weeks ago. The president Inter
rupted the conversation to ask:
Bill, why don t you go into tne
Illinois primary?"
Borah Is supposed to nave re
plied that he was thinking about
It. The president reached for a
telenhone. saying: "111 call up
Chicago and get you some dele
gates out there."
Some of these congressmen
who hare been making speeches
for economy have begun to
change their tune privately. Let
ters have been coming in irom
back home protesting against
WPA cuts. Also protests have
been piling up against curtailing
CCC camps. This situation has
already been grapevined down
Pennsylvania avenue to tho White
House.
.
PRESSURE
The smart Idea of having
states cqme into the supreme
court with appeals to uphold tha
Ouffey coal act Is supposed to
have been arranged by Senator
Gurtey himself. He passed the
word around, far In advance, that
the atate briefs would be filed.
The idea is more political than
legal. Most of the briefs are not
legalistic arguments, but merely
assertions that the states cannot
regulate the Industry and that
therefore the federal government
should do It. A few of tho
briefs admit that the states
could make compacts, but say
thla is Impractical.
