For he is seeing the fruition of ideas which he had in prep school some 28 years ago.

Kamm hqs always wanted to be the creator of games for children which, in addition to affording them a great deal of pleasure," would also give their players practical instruction in upon reaching Nogales, Arizona, by the chance he received to contribute The baseball season has been long past, but in that room are ardent young diamond enthusiasts who. through the ingeniousness of Albert Kamm, can replay their favorite spor: with the help of a deck of playing cards. Today, 25 years later, Kamm can not remember what the rules of his brain-child were. He only remembers that his game was the rage of that to papers back in the state he had left. "I now hod," he, claims, "money vention of many games for children that are to be educational as well as enjoyable.

The Idea came to him not so long ago, and all because ol the fact that behind his house, then on the corner of Cedar and Park Streets, lay an empty lot. His own children and the kids of the neighborhood were wont to grather here on holidays, and afternoonj after school and their shouts of mer nment gradually became annoying to the Inventor at his work. "Those kids are having a good he philosophised," and they are building up the.r bodies, "but what about their mind?" Just then h.s youngest boy came storming into the house with the demand that "papa" build him a miniature telephone line. Mr. Kamm allowed himself to be dragged out onto the lot by his eager youngster, and as he went about the) business of erecting telephone lines, his became very active.

"Why shouldn't these children." he argued himself, "learn to reproduce the stdtf that they dwell in, or at least, their own city?" Accordingly, he began Miniature Hartford. All the children of the neighborhood, and of other parts of the city were Invited, and soon there were miniature police forces, banks, fire departments, moive houses Hid, on Saturday nights, prlre fight. Fate Ajrain Intervenes. But Fate again intervened. The lot became a much more noisy place thai ever before.

The children were be-coming educated, but in a loud manner. The neighbors objected. Kamm) threw over hi whole project, and moved to Madison Street. But he hasn't given up the Idea of educating children at their game. He has learned to paint rather well, and on different pieces of cardboard.

He has- painted a portion of the United States on one of these pieces of cardboard, and he has mapped out railroad routes to Chicago, five of them. The child plays the game with dice and counters. Just as many other parlor games are played. But this name is different. While the boy or girl Is moving his counters about, he is learning the names of the different stations ou the way to Chicago.

The danger points along hlj routes, which, if the dice are unfa-oiai lc, eaiie him to lose or 13 points, are danger spots occurring in the ttip of anv locomotive engineer. The id begins to learn things about both Ins country and railroading as the same time. Then, lie lias another game representing a trip around the solar system. At this moment he is finishing painting the ring around Saturn. The child get out li.s dice and counters, and learns the names of the other planets, which, like hts own, revolve around the sun Inventor Kamm has still another project in mind.

Summer of 1905 came Vacation passed away, and with the coming of the first fall assembly at Concordia College.

Kamm learned that someone, he had no idea who, had stolen his idea in its entirety, had patented it, and was manufacturing sets of ball games played with cards. His youthful spirit ofhonesty violently rebelled, and he swore a mighty oath that he would beat that game "all hollow" and build a regular baseball diamond in miniature. The game would have real players, and real bats and and the childish use of playing cards would be forever out however, Albert Kamm, af-nvv-t unusual trip across the a vorked on in his bedroom at night or while he was at leisure between jobs.

And so, Albert Kamm got a ruler, a pencil, a domino and a piece i cardboard, and commenced making John Barton, won over Alvm Johnson's Philadelphia team by six points in percentage.

It is passible for him to follow g' it: is a different thin? Another handicap is the record Governor Roosevelt has made by speeches and actions on the water-power issue. That Governor Roosevelt is on the anti-power side of this issue is one of his assets in the normal political sense.

The fact of history and of politics and statesmanship and of causes in every field, is that the pioneer rarely reaps the fruit of the victory to which the cause may go on. The poineer usually dies on the battlefield; the later victory goes to some secondary leader. This may be the truth of history, but the followers of ex-Governor Smith may not assent to it as a present rule of political strategy, in short.

AH that is meant to be said here is that some of the shrewest Democratic leaders and political observers, outside New York, have been at pains to find out what is in the minds of the New York leaders.

The conclusion of the leaders outside New York is that the New York leaders are not of a mind to nominate Governor Roosevelt and are of a mind to nominate, or try to nominate Owen Young. To say this is the present drift of the New York leaders Is to say It is the present drift of the donllnant national leaders, for everbody knows the New York leaders are In the Democratic saddle in the national sense. They Like Him But. It is not here meant to say that the New York leaders intend to practice any deviousness of unfairness against Governor Roosevelt. On the contrary, they think highly of him; they have personal affection for him, they are devoted to him.

Their state of nind of New York City government a managed by Tammany. If, however. Governor Roosevelt has on water-power, is likely to fall into lapses cf language or thought which seem more radical perhaps than they are. In any event this appears to have happened in Governor Roosevelt's case. The fact is that New York business leaders who had no objection at ail to the course of Governor Alfred Smtrh ahrMit vxternerwr ha Jwnm the hung Knap;) tit ion so Class Governor Roosevelt loiiows a course differentiating him from Tammany, he runs the risk of making an enemy ut a crowd, captured the ('It with Uti.

Such a man is too closely watched Small mistakes, faint errors of judgment which normally would be completely overlooked, now cause leaders to shake their heads. A man in that position gives offense to little local party leaders here and there; and the aggrieved party leader thinks his best way to get even is to opjxwe the upward progress of the Presidential possibility. Even the virtues of such a man as of that organisation. And opjxwiUon hv Tammanv would go far toward Governor Roosevelt and the following of ex-Governor Smith are almost icentical; certainly they overlap to a great degree.

Another handicap to Governor Roosevelt has to do with ex-Governor lo.iowings must be a unit. If jealousy arwes between the two followlngs It Is likely to be fatal to both men. And the arising of that Jealousy Is much feared by those national leaders of the Democratic party who will largely determine the next Presidential nomination.

The apprehension of this Is very much to the front of the minds of the will follow the course outlined above.

To say all this is not to say necessarily that Young will certainly get the nomination.

But it is as much as can be said about the Democratic Presidential nomination In the space here available. The plans of the friends and advocates of Senator Robliuon of Arkansas, and of ex-Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, of Ohio, and of Senator Bulkley, also of Ohio, and of ex -Governor Byrd of Virginia, as well as Governor sons that cause the national leaders of the. Democratic party to hesitate about giving him the Presidential nomination. This dilemma, like the other, is one for which the easy solution is Owen Young.

Young is of New Yorkbut not. of Tammany. The Democratic nomination could be given to Young and it could be given him in part through the agency of Tammany but the country would never think of Young as having any faintest taint of Tammany. What ts here said is the Judgment of Washington leaden of the Democratic party of Washington leaders js distinguished from New York local leaders and national leaders who have their seats of power in New York. Th Judgment meets with assent from observers who look upon pre-oonven-tlon strategy from the standpoint of long experience.

The Washington Presidential nomination might conceivably change as the result of a course of events; which, however, is unlikely to happen. Probably these leaders would feel personally relieved and pleased if events should develop thai would make It seem prudent, safe and otherwise agreeable to nominate Governor Roosevelt. They would be glad, or at least satisfied, If the "breaks" should force Roosevelt Into having an Indisputably logical and obvious claim on the nomination. But the present conclusion arrived tt by shrewd Democrat outside of Ntw York, upon which conclusion these Democrats outside New York are charting their own course, la that hen the 1932 Democratic convention comes, the New York leaders will not be for Governor Roosevelt and ities; there is nothing new for them to learn no new stimulus to the glow of high enthusiam which is almost Indispensable "putting over" a candidate. A man in Governor Roosevelt's position runs the danger of becoming "shopworn." Handicap.

The handicaps to Governor Roosevelt which have developed and are now retarding him, reveal themselves In any conversation with those national leaders of the Democratic party In whose hands Mr. Roosevelt's fate lies. They say his health is a handicap. If you reply that apparently Governor Roosevelt' health has not prevented his making a record as Governor of New York which the state evidently approve then the counter renbr is a duhlau aoak ni the refuge field ha only systems of this -re, but cm-ploy game keepers to guard from poachers, and to cor.5ro! animals, and birds cf prey, discovered to be the gre.it est enemies.

There is validity In this point of view and there is political dynamite in it. Governor Roosevelt's availability for the Democratic Presidential nomination is based on conditions which are identical with those that made Governor Smith araable The reasons for nominating Governor Roosevelt are mainly three: He has a striking record as a vote-getter in carrying New York State; he is, to use a rough and inexact phrase, "anti-power and he is "wet" These are the same three reasons that made Governor Smith available Nfw Hampshire ler.
