Power is political dynamite through the opposing views of Gov- ernor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York, and the federal administra- tion. Roosevelt claims for New York state ownership of the American share of the power. any concession on the point.

Party Whips to Be Busy Next Session Washington, Nov. 16.—(?)—Party whips in the coming house are go- ing to be kept busy rounding up their colleagues when voting time comes on legislation. The close division of party strength undoubtedly will give the Democrats voting mastery one day while on the next the Republicans may rule the situation. The whips, often incorrectly called the assistant party leaders, are men designated by the parties to assemble their respective forces to secure pas- sage of their bills or to defeat pas- sage of their opponents’ measures. The whips did not have much work to do in rounding up their party members in the last house because of the overwhelming Republican maj- ority. But with the Democrats holdirg only a slight majority, the Repub-| licans, backed by a friendly admin- istration, can make the job of doing legislative business hard on their op- ponents.

Nye of North Da- kota said Saturday that political! corruption in the high places of gov- | ernment is bringing the nation’s elec- tions to the level of an auction. ‘The chairman of the senate investi- gating committee, addressing the city club, made a sweeping denunciation of “selfish and greedy interests that are buying political parties and can- didates.” Unless the American people, he said, stamp out the corrupt practices of these interests, they need not ex- pect from their government those things they should have in time of fi- nancial depression. He declared the United States faces| the gravest economic problem ever| confronting a civilized people because | “men in the high places of govern-| ment dare not represent the rank/| and file for fear of cutting off the) stream of gold that floats them into Office.” Painting a sordid picture of corrup- tion his committee uncovered in four states—Illinois, Nebraska, Tennessee and Delaware—Senator Nye asserted the time was near when an election would accomplish nothing more than. if the secretary of each state auctio1 ed off places in the federal govern- ment. “I have one idea how we might obtain responsible government,” he observed. “Let all the farmers and laborers of the nation join and raise $30,000,- 000. Then let them go to the head- quarters of the Republican national committee and say: ‘You need about $15,000,000 to carry on your cam- paign. Here it is” Then let them &o down the street to the headquar- ters of the Democratic national committee and leave the other $15,- 000,000 there. Then they can go home and be unconcerned with the outcome of the election. They can't lose. They have bet on both horses.” EASTERN STAR ELECTS Bowman, N.
