Roosevelt 1 runs again he will win.j
Most of them think he has a better
knowledge of the political stand of,
the voters of the nation than is avail-'
able from any poll of public opin
ion and that he would probably not
run if he thought there was .a chance,
of defeat. And they feel very certain
that he will run again.
Following the present recess, Qox\-,
gre^s will convene again the first
of August, but unless there is new
and unexpected business to be taken
up it is probable that another re
cess for the month of August will
immediately be voted. With the* po
litical battle as close as it appears to
be, congressmen want as much time
as possible to contact their constitu
ents and to carry on election cam
paigns. Except for emergency legis
lation, it is difficult to imagine Con
gress really getting down to busi
ness again until November.
During the month of June, how
ever, Congress probably established
some sort of a record for the amount
of legislation enacted. It was un
doubtedly one of the busiest months
in Congress since the war began.
As a result, the “must’’ legislation
j has been acted upon and congress-
i men. feel that they have the right
I to use the summer, for other pur
poses.
