Said Mr. Niles: “During the years I was con nected with the police depart- ment, both as patrolman and lat- er as and the six years as sheriff, I was in constant touch with the needs of the citizens. ay sheriff I attended all meet- ings of the county commissioners and thus came to be acquainted with the many affairs of the county, gained a comprehensive idea of the machinery of the of- fice and feel qualified to credit- fill the position.

The i. , mates are that millions of persons are dependent on _ local aid throughout the United States, How * long this state of affairs will con- jtinue is uncertain, but the Ad- ‘ministration has taken the posi- tion that no one shall starve and apparently any other administra- tion will be confronted by an overpowering demand for the con- tinuation of some similar form of | relief. | In the early days of the Roose- velt administration, unemploy- ment was apparently regarded as an emergency matter but recently it has become apparent that the viewpoint has changed. In _ his ; Baltimore speech, the President practically said that “recovery will not solve the unemployment problem.” He cited the increas- jing unemployment during the | prosperous years of 1928 and 1929 and suggested shorter hours and age limitations for workers as a | partial solution. | Apparently, the Administration | wii stand by the principles of work relief outlined by the Presi- ident in January and resist the jpressure that is building up for, | PWA undertakings and direct re-| ‘lief. The history of relief shows , that the methods have been chang- ed frequently and there is no idea that the present works program ; will be continued unaltered. Ba- isically, it seems inevitable that the Federal Treasury will, for {some years, have a burden on jaccount of unemployment. Re- {gardless of what method is used, ‘such aid will probably continue (until private enterprises absorb! into normal employment those! now receiving public assistance. | Slipping up on the nation is’ another drought, which officials {fear will be as serious as that of 11934, Weather Bureau records jindicate that a large section of} the nation’s farm land, since the) first of the year, has been in a drought area which now envelops seven states. Kansas, according to the records, is in the grip of a drought that is worse than anyj covered by the bureau’s figures and much the same condition exists in Oklahoma. Out of the dust bowl area in Oklahoma and! Texas, the drought has crept over, these two states and is moving in- !to Missouri and southern lowa. | | | The Department of Agriculture ‘officials point out that the! | drought period has not ended and) | that it has been unbroken for five! | ful triumph for him because o ~ in the corn fields of | view of | of mutual goodwill and LoominG 5 ie at ___ » WA sENGTON the strong showing made by }ator Borah in the rural area fact. Borah supporters claim | moral victory because, except for ithe vote in the city of Chicago. the Idahoan would have carried Illinois. The Landon neth h somewhat increased recently, d |to a write-in vote in Nebraska, {and the conviction is general at {this time that he has ich the best chance of securing the Re- ublican nomination. Political ob: iderable signi ervers attach con- ance to the large ivote received by Senator Borah ‘in Illinois, where he ran little less than 100,000 votes behind Colonel Knox, who had a much better or- ganization as well as the support oz the party organization. The Idaho Senator boasts that he “‘car- ried Illinois” thus discounting t heqvy Chicago majority for his opponent and seems to think that he has demonstrated his strength Illinois and wheat lands of Nebraska. The fact is most observers agree that the coming election will decided in the farm belt. conse- quences of Mr. Bora strength with the people are problematical and unpredictable. Landon has steadily shown strength in the Middle West and the idea is general in the East that he is the best hope of carrying the wheat and corn re- gions. The tentative line-up of delegates last week put Governor Landon in the lead so far as cer- tain delegates are considered, -ith the idea general that he has by far the best standing among the uninstructed group. Moreover, sentiment for the Kansas Gover- nor in the East seemed strong in places that some of his sup- porters feared it might lead to the impression that he is the candi- date of certain “inte is Srothing in the record ai time to sustain such an inference and it may be taken for granted that at the proper e the Gov- ernor will make clear his inde- pendence of these allies of doubt- ful political value. be The Governor Of course, there is no doubt of the renomination of President Roosevelt. In fact, he has been greatly encouraged by the large vote cast for him in state primar- ies, notably Illinois and Wiscon- sin, where he polled a much greater vote than his combined opposition. In Wisconsin, he re- ceived about 100,000 more votes than Senator Borah and, in Ili- nois, his total was about in the atio of three to two to the com- bined vote of Borah and Knox. In the heavy attack that has been sustained against the New Deal and indications of lost pop- ularity, the result of these primar- ies has been a source of great satisfaction to the Democrats. The nations of this hemisphere seem to be agreed that much good jean be accomplished at the inter-! American peace conference which will probably convene this sum- mer, with Secretary of State Cor- dell Hull heading the delegation from this country.
