Gridiron Club Guests Air Views on War And Election Farley and Hamilton Are Both Emphatic in November Predictions By ROBERT BRUSKIN. The Nation's great gathered for the Gridiron Club dinner last night, expressing a potpourri of opinions on the outcome of the national elec- tions and war, but universally in agreement that in few other coun- tries can government officials be safely satirized. Senator Taft of Ohio, Republican presidential aspirant, surveyed the starch-shirted throng at the Wil- liard Hotel, which included most of the other candidates, and declared in a brief interview: “I don’t believe that it would be possible for newsmen in any other country in the world to spend an evening of entertainment lampoon- ing the officials of their government, even in the most good-humored spirit of fun, without fear of the censor or of a one-way ticket to a concentration camp. “Any one who looks over the list of leaders in all walks of life who attend this dinner will be impressed by the fact that so few had any greater opportunities for success than the average American boy today.” Lapsing into a bit of campaign generality, he added: “Those who say that America is no longer a land of opportunity don't know the true conditions.” . Farley, Hamilton “Agree.” Postmaster General Farley. speak- ing as chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and his “oppo- site number,” John Hamilton, chair- man of the Republican National Committee, both “agreed” their parties couldn't lose in November. Mr. Farley, eschewing mention of his personal presidential cam- paign, asserted with smiling em- phasis: “The only thing certain about next fall's election is that the Democratic candidate is going to be elected President. The figures show this beyond the shadow of a doubt. “There are close to 200 electoral votes in the Solid South and the Border States. Every poll, every test vote, every primary, shows that those States are just as strongly Democratic now as they were in 1936. Only 266 electoral votes are necessary for election. That means that the Democratic party has a tremendous head start in the presi- dential race. “To win the election, the Repub- licans would have to make a clean Eweep of the pivotal Middle West end the Mountain States. Yet the Demoerats had a substantial ma- Jority in the recent primary in Wis- consin, which the Republicans car- | ried in 1938, and a majority in the all-important State of Illinois.” Mr. Farley paused to shake a few Republican hands. Opposition claims of a “Repub- lican trend,” he said, are based on | “They are care- | misleading figures. ful to point only to those districts where Republicans won. The Demo- crats also won several cofigressional elections,” he added. “In some of these, especially in New York State, the percentages of Democratic votes were higher than they ever were before. The answer is that the percentage figures are always mis- leading when the total vote is low.” For emphasis Mr. Farley reiter- ated: “The Democratic candidate will win this fall’s election.” “Phooey.” said Mr. Hamilton, in effect, to Mr. Farley's prediction. “The primary elections in Wiscon- sin, Nebraska and Illinois, together with the special congressional elec- tion in the first district of Ne- braska, following the Republican congressional successes in Ohio and Jowa earlier this year, emphasize anew the ground-swell of public mpinion toward the Republican party and the steadily mounting distrust of the New Deal,” he de- clared. Mr. Hamilton paused to shake a few Democratic hands, and con- tinued: The elections further stress Re- publican unity and confidence as contrasted with Democratic division and doubt and are a sure indication | that the Republican victories in the congressional elections of 1938 ran true to historic tradition and presage the elections of a Republican Presi- dent and Congress in the forth- coming national election. “In each of the States where pri- maries were held during the past| two weeks, the increase in the size of the Republican vote, with a cor- responding shrinkage in the number of Democratic voters, has been sig- nificant, especially as conditions were such as to bring out a maxi- mum Democratic strength due to the third-term issue. The vote was such as to clearly indicate these States will be safely Republican at the November election.” Mr. Farley and Mr. Hamilton later greeted each other with pleas- ant smiles and handshakes, it was reported. The last word in the “who’ll-beat- whom” controversy went to Senator ‘Wheeler of Montana. “Calmly and dispassionately,” he appraised it thus: “The Democratic party will win in | the November elections unless we | have a split in the party and I say | this in spite of the Republican trends indicated by the primaries in Wis- consin, Nebraska and Illinois. “Any party that has been in power for the past seven hectic years is bound to have made enemies * * ¢ When one looks back calmly and dispassionately, it is not to be won- dered that we made mistakes, but rather that we did not make more under the stress of the times. “That the people of the United States will turn to the old guard Republicans who offer no program, but only criticism, is hard to be- leve.” Next to politics, the celebrities held the spreading European war as a favored subject fit for an in- terview. Paul Scott Mowrer, foreign cor- respondent for the Chicago Daily News for nearly a quarter century, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for for- eign correspondence in 1928 and now editor of that newspaper, confessed *“I don't know who will win the war.” FENCES-GATES FRED s, GICHNER IRON WORKS, INC.
