For a long time I have believed Huey to be about as widely popular with a large part of the rank- iind-nle of the citizenry as he is venomously hated by a numerically smallish, but politically, and socially potent class. It also has been my notion that, by the fury of the assaults they have directed against him, the Kingfish's- comparatively few but malignant enemies (who possibly now are losing much of their influence) simply have added to and solidified the line-up of his My mail tends strongly to verify both of these surmises.

Writers of 209 of the letters I have received thus far express themselves as- anti-Huey; 611 are more or less favorable to him. Some of the "antis" are as violent in their denunciations of the senator, as anything one might expect from Mayor' T. Semmes Walmsley of New Orleans.

From inauguration to August 27, treasury figures showed today, the a reiteration of policy, nevertheless was looked upon by some observers as "tough" on those Democrats who regard a kindly nod from the White House equivalent to a sizeable block of votes. Close friends interpreted Mr.

Roosevelt's policy to mean he wanted all of his time for pushing his recovery program and in meeting the varied demands of government. They argued that for him to lend active support to one would eventually mean he would be swamped with office seekers with internal party strife the inevitable result. From the purely political point of view it also was added that active participation in sectional party fights would be a tactical blunder. In this connection it was recalled that Woodrow Wilson openly appealed for a Democratic congress and was repudiated by the voters. Administration supporters were convinced Mr.

In making allowance for these retirements the government shows a net deficit of $4,947,462,248 since President Roosevelt took office. The net deficit represents what the government spent above its regular income. It was made up by borrowings from the public which carried the- government's debt to the present record peak of $27,100,000,000. CEDARVILLE'S GAS RATE GUT COLUMBUS, C-, Aug.
