No effort will be made to toss either brickbats or bouquets. An effort will ke made to treat everyone fairly— : Two ‘Big Shots’ North Dakota will be visited very soon by the two most important po- Ktical leaders in the country. First and foremost, of course, there is Pres- ident Roosevelt, who says he is coming west to learn. Only slightly behind him is Mr. James Aloysius Farley, postmaster general, chairman of the Democratic National committee and commonly regarded, even by his enemies, as a great political soothsayer. Of the two visits, that of Mr. Farley fig most likely to have an important effect on political manipulations and machinations in North Dakota in the near future. It may be fairly assumed that Mr. ‘Farley comes to talk with various fac- ‘tions of the Democratic party in the state—and possibly with others—and perhaps to lay down the law. * What the Situation Is 4 To estimate the situation in which | North Dakota Democrats find them- 3 selves it is proper to state that the dove of peace mourns some lost tail Teathers. In line with the traditions of North Dakota’s democracy, things haven't been going as smoothly as they might. There are plenty of hhatchets and knives in evidence and plenty of political sorcery in the mak- ing. Most of which will prove un- successful. It is no secret that many old-line Democrat leaders are none too ; chummy with certain New Deal agen- cies. In the middle of the fire directed ‘by these gentlemen is Mr. Thomas H. (Moodie, boss of the WPA and cur- rently the North Dakota Democrat with the strongest connections in Washington. Mr. Moodie got “in bad” with some of the others because he insisted on running the WPA him- self, failed to give what they thought was due weight to political endorse- ments for jobs.

Its work is primarily intended for farm- ers and stock raisers. The value of this type of service has been empha- sized during the drouth years when ranchers in dry sectors consulted the weather bureau to learn where there were areas with sufficient moisture and the consequent sufficient feed.
