Townsend Plan Fades One third-party movement* that seems to have been pretty well blown up is that threatened by Dr. Town send if the present congress did not adopt his plan of old-age pensions for everybody. In fact, Dr. Townsend’s third-party threat has had exactly the place of the old processing taxes.

Stnith made at, the Liberty League dinner, and its possible ef fects upon the political^.siutation. No utterance by a private citizen in re cent political history has stirred up so much di.scui^ion. It is taken here by some, jxilitical observers as the most important wedge that h&.s been, driven so far to bring about the much- talked of split ip fhe Democratic party. Of course, Mr. Roosevelt will be rb- nominateil, but there is nb. mistaking the intentioh of .Mr. Smith and his followers, included in the Liberty Teague, to bolt the party; whether they undertake to put a third ticket' in the field or not. , ^ How serious this defection may be in its effect upon- the president’s chance for reelection is a que.stion up on which opinions vary widely. "Natu- rally, the warm eupportS^^Uthelid^ ministration ridicule the idea that the Liberty league crowd can influence any material volume of votes; But be- h^ind the Liberty league is a practi cally unlimited amouht of money, and at its head is Jouett Shouse, a very able •political orgapizer. Rumblings For the South Considerable significance was at tached here to the declaration by the late Governor Allen, of Louisiana, that his organization would join up with the Liberty league in trying to prevent Mr. Roosevelt’s renomination. Governor Talmadge of Georgia, long an outspoken'" enemy of the adminis tration, is the spearhead of another revolt insidp the Democratic party which is beginning to be taken seri ously in the South. The expectation here is that the Talmadge movement ■ may also be lined up with the Liberty •league movement. The point of greatest doubt is how • far these attacks upon the president and his policies may be carried if they fail to stop his renomination. It it conceded by the political experta Thai a high percentage of those Democrats sMio dislike the New Deal will never- thcl^s awing into line under, the par- . / - / \ i J.
