/ K TSUI TO OUBSELVttS, OUE NEIGHBORS, OUR COUNTRY AND OUR GOD. Thirty-Eighth Year Established June 5, 1902 McCORMICK, S. C., THURSDAY, AUGUST 17, 1939 Number 11 iRAS. WASKINCTON Washington, Aug. 14.—^Auto- caster)—The first session of the 76th Congress adjourned with two events attesting further spread of anti-New Deal sentiment among Senators and Representatives a- like. The President’s bill to authorize the borrowing of 3 3-4 billions of the securities of Government-con trolled corporations and agencies, for the purpose of lending the funds for a wide variety of pur poses in the effort to stimulate business, was killed by the refusal of a coalition of Republicans and Conservative Democrats to permit its consideration by the House, even after the Senate had agreed upon the measure in a modified form, involving only about half as much money as the President had asked for. Another important measure be hind which all the forces of the Administration lined up against the opposition, met the same fate. That was the bill to double the borrowing and lending powers of the U. S. Housing Administration, engaged in so-called “slum-clear ance” projects of building low- rent homes for the poor. A combination of motives en tered into this final revolt against the Administration. There was a genuine Reeling on the part of economy-minded members of both houses that the time had come to stop Government spending-for- recovjery. Wide-spread Revolt There was an even more wide spread revolt against the idea of increasing the national debt by borrowing in the name of cor porations or agencies, whose debts would not be included in the offi cial Public Debt statements, on in of the theory that the proceeds o their lending would be used to fi nance self-liquidating projects. Besides economic objections t the President’s program, further opposition was inspired by objec tions to the President’s policies general. There was also an element personal revenge on the part certain Democratic Senators and Representatives who were the ob ject of the Presidential enmity in last year’s elections, and who sur vived his so-called “purge” of the party leadership. All those things combined with previous actions of the Congress to make the ending of this session a fairly complete defeat of the New Deal. The way is now cleared for con sideration of the prospects for the 1940 Presidential election, and that is what will engage the whole attention of official Washington and of the Senators and members back in their home states from now on. The battle for delegates to the nominating conventions of both major parties is already be ginning. Fears Roosevelt It can be set down as a certain ty that the man whom all Repub licans fear most as the Demo cratic candidate is President Roosevelt himself. If he does de cide to break the precedent first formulated by the founder of his own party, and run for a third term, it is conceded that he wil be the hardest man for the Oppo sition to beat. There are careful observers professing to be able to read the political signs, who hold that the President is merely waiting until the time is right to announce that he will be a candidate to succeed himself. Such tactics, it is pointed out, would prevent too great con centration of delegates behind any other individual who might be dis tasteful to the President, and so increase his chance of having a candidate of his choice named, in the last-minute confusion just before the convention. The candidate who is now com- IMRE McCORMICK, S. C. FRIDAY and SATURDAY August 18th and 19th, 7:15 P. M. and 9 P. M. Matinee Saturday 3:30 P. M.

This fine group of young people are working diligently on a very interesting program. Two very interesting subjects will be dis cussed by two members. Everyone is cordially invited to attend this special service which will display the initiative of the Methodist young* people. xx County Agent To Attend Conference At Clemson County Agent D. Austin Shelley states that he will attend the An nual Extension Conference at Clemson College from August 22nd to August 26th; however, his office will not be closed during this period. ing to be regarded as the Presi dent’s choice is Security Adminis trator Paul V. McNutt. He is the only Democrat with any consider able vote-gathering ability who might have Mr. Roosevelt’s bless ing. In actual political strength at the moment, however, Vice- President Garner is away out in the lead, on the Democratic side. On the Republican side, the out standing candidate of the moment is Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio, son of former President Taft. The Ohio primaries come among the earliest of any of the states, and the Hamilton County (Cincinnati) Republican Committee has already begun its campaign to win the primaries for its fellow-citizen, Senator Taft. It couldn’t go a- head without the Senator’s written consent, and he gave it in a strong statement attacking the Adminis tration and the New Deal, adding that the task which lies a- head of the next President is so great that no sensible man could be eager to assume it. Dewey Strong None of the other potential Re publican candidates has announced so far. A strong organization is being built up around Thomas E. Dewey of New York, and Wash ington hears that something in the nature of a “brain trust” of economists and political advisers is at work preparing a series of public speeches which Mr. Dewey will make in the Fall, to put his personal political philosophy on record. Very far from being in the back ground is Senator Arthur Vanden- Derg of Michigan, with probably more practical politicians of his own party working for him than or any other Republican. There is a perceptible under swell of sentiment for Governor Saltonstall of Massachusetts. Gov ernor Bricker of Ohio must not be overlooked. He is believed to be receptive and is known to be a good campaigner. For the first time since 1928, Republicans be- ieve, and Washington observers agree with them, the party has at east an even chance of winning in 1940. Otherwise there would not be so many candidates for the driver’s seat. Some observers here think they see signs of a tide of public sen timent running in Mr. Hoover’s direction. Mrs. Susie M. Walker Celebrates Birthday On the 6th of August the chil dren, grandchildren and great grandchildren and a few friends of Mrs. Susie M. Walker celebrated her 74th birthday with a barbecue and picnic at Campbell’s Spring. Those enjoying the day with Mrs. Walker were Mr. and Mrs. J. P.
