So instead of waiting for La Guardia to name the Republican slate, Simpson abruptly came out one day | with a Republican slate, all pledged to La Guardia, if he should accept the Republican organization’s nom- |ination. The slate was made up of Republicans and |independents who had supported La Guardia so loy-. = lally that the mayor could not well repudiate them. And yet it was political agony for him to lénd his jown immense popularity to rejuvenation of the Re- | publican party organization, |, Tor three weeks he refused comment on his plight, but it is related that every time the name of Simpson was mentioned he beetled his brows as only La'Guardia can;t Then he capitulated. And the “ticket that he carrfed to' victory in the primary was a Republican- named ticket, and the same ticket he rode to victory yesterday.

In 1937—that is, for the fiscal year which ended last June 30—they amounted to $7,550,- 000,000, again making allowance for payments under the Bonus Law. And during the current fiscal year they will amount, according to last April’s estimate, to $7,700,000,000. This steadily rising curve of Federal expenditure is the most troublesome factor in the whole situation, more significant even than the successive deficits which the Government has incurred. For this rising curve of expenditure has coincided with a large in- crease of employment, a doubling of industrial pay- rolls and a remarkable gain in farm income. The facts of the case argue strongly for retrenchment when Congress reconvenes. Delegate Dimond says there are not enough trees| and he believes the farmer should have two horses instead of one. If the design is to be fitting of the present, it strikes us the farmer should be operating his plow with a tractor. As a matter of fact, a plow isn't typical of Alaska. There are dozens of designs which could be more apropos. But that's beside the point. The issue is ready to go; the sale starts here on| November 12 and several hundred thousand requests| are made for the stamp just in Juneau alone. Good or bad design, the second Alaska stamp is going to get the Territory remarkable publicity. The Radio Priest Goes Off the Air (Philadelphia Record) We suspect that Father Coughlin was gratetul to his new superior, Archbishop Mooney, for providing him with an excuse to abandon his radio broadcasts. These broadcasts cost money, and it is no secret that the radio priest’s financial support, from whatever sources it may have come, has fallen off precipitously. The elections of 1936 showed how little influence he had with the:American people. We believe that Father Coughlin, whether an American citizen or a Canadian, has the same right as the rest of us to express his opinions. We had hoped that he would go on expressing them because the more he said the more clearly he was revealing himself as a front foy special interests, a reactionary LaGUARDIA WINS AGAIN Mayor La Guardia, New York’s little Napoleon, has rolled back into the mayor’s chair on an avalanche “Of votes, incomplete returns showing him at least a half million votes ahead of Jeremiah Mahoney, the| Democrat backed by Tammany Hall.

La Guardia ran on the fusion ticket, but was the nominee also of the Republicans, who were glad enough to get him. They were punch- drunk from the Roosevelt onslaught of the previous November. La Guardia and his reform backers wrote their own ticket and the Republicans had to like it, although it contained scarcely a Republican name. Now a Republican mayor normally could be ex- pected to help out the Republican organization by a liberal apportionment of patronage. But mighty little did Republicans get from La Guardia, who was run- ning his own show. Their principal satisfaction was in knowing that the Democratic organiation, which had seen thou- sands of its voters swarm to La Guardia, also was getting mighty little help from thg new mayor. Noting this situation, Kenneth Simpson, New York Senator Barkley of Kentucky advocates abandon- county chairman (his domain is Manhattan), coun-|ment of the Electoral College.

But Archbishop Mooney had a different problem on his hands. Father Coughlin is only a parish !priest. But as the most vocal member of the Church in this country he was hurting his own faith by drag- ging his vestments in the mud of politics and by identifying Catholicism with opposition to the New Deal, to independent trades unionism and to pro- gressive policies in general. The Archbishop rebuked him last week for call- ing the appointment of Black “personal stupidity” on the part of the President. He also rebuked him for using an analogy that might give “the impression that there is a basic opposition in principle between the Catholic Church and the C.I.O.” When the Archbishop declined to approve the reply Coughlin had ready for broadcast, the radio priest abandoned broadcasting.
