Chicago The Democratic del-
egates to the Chicago convention
want Franklin D. Roosevelt to run
again tor the simple reason that
they think he can carry their lo-
cal and state tickets to victory
a purely selfish motive but they
pledge their hearts blood to Big
Jim Farley.
Mr. Farley although discredit-
ed by the convention maneuver-
ing! of Harry Hopkins the presi-
dent's 1940 generalissimo has
managed to preserve his good tem-
per. His press conferences at
which he has been asked the most
embarrassing questions have been
operatic.
In sheer skin they match the
press performances of the presi-
dent in the early days of the New
Deal and of Republican nominee
Willkie since the finger of fate
pointed at him.
Jim luckily wants nothing from
the Democratic party. If any debt
exists it is in nis -favor. He has
out of his love and admiration for
the president helped to elect him
twice with unprecedented popu-
lar and electoral majorities. But
in the last four years he has been
cast aside by the president for his
Janizaries the Hopkins the
Ickes the Cohens and the Cor-
corans. Jim took this ridetracking
with a smile. He figured that FDR
would eventually recover his po-
litical TOPS
In an exclusive interview with
this writer Jim said: Listen
Ray. I will quit on Saturday as na-
tional chairman for several rea-
sons. But the main reason will be
that I told the newspaper crowd
at Washington three months ago
that my name would go before
the convention and stay there un-
til the finish.
The newspapermen have never
let me down in my political ca-
reer of 20 years and I don't in-
tend to let them down now. In
letting my name go and stay be-
fore the convention I am NOT
fighting the president I am keep-
ing fauh with my friends inside
and outside the press and polit-
ical gallery.
Nevertheless if Jim carries out
his threat to resign the national
chairmanship next Saturday
when the Democratic National
Committee stages its 1940 meet-
ing the move might be fatal. No-
body except Jim commands the
love and respect of the run-of-mine
Democrats.-The president has
their admiration yes but his ap-
peal to their affections dees not
begin to equal Mr. Farleys. In the
matter or contest of humani-
ties Big Jim? is tops even over
the president or any other Dem-
ocrat. ABSENT
A good guess now is that Jim
will resign the national chairman-
ship which will be filled at Sat-
urday's committee meeting. Jim
does not want it has told friends
that he would stultify himself if
he accepted it and has crossed his
heart against any attempt to elect
his old buddy you may remem-
ber his name Franklin D. Roose-
velt for a third term. Jim unfor-
tunately is an old - fashioned
American!
But you know everybody
knows Big Jim. He is a soft
kind lovable and chicken-hearted
individual. Although the president
has booted him around for four
years during which he took the
sad advice of Messrs. Cohen Cor-
coran Ickes Wallace Jackson and
Biddle FDR now finds it neces-
sary to lean on the old reliable
James Aloysiui Farley.
But when the critical moment
comes next Saturday at the na-
tional committee meeting Jim
may be like the man on the stair.
He wont be there!

of the gas field. It is the No.

Johnson and Kemmitz are the
contractors and reports today
were that toola are being moved
in. The first contract calls for
3500-foot test before going lower

For several weeks now there
has been talk of tests on two
acreages blocked along the struc-

south of the Cement area and
lease men here say that activity
will be seen before long.
On the east side of the Cement

on the Hedlund lease in Section

being made to test the Wade zone

Even should England win the
war and destroy the axis power
she likely would find it exceed-
ingly difficult to compel a re-

looks on this as the time to em-

her aims.

President Roosevelt's acceptance
of an unprecedented third-term
nomination was all but formally
announced today through Indirect
White House designation of Henry
A. Wallace 51-year-old Iowan for
the vire-presidential place on the
1940 Democratic ticket
Delegates trooping to this huge
stadium which hut night saw his-
tory made by Democratic dele-
gates who acclaimed Mr. Roose-
velt their choice for 12 successive
years of White House service were
eager for the president's formal
word. It was not to be long In

This telegram he said would

Tonight it was reported Mr.
Roosevelt himself will address the
convention by radio.
Wallace h Favored
Wallace a former Republican
haa served in Mr. Roosevelts cab-
inet since the beaming of the
Few Deal In 1932. T$ie decision to
choose Wallace to run with the
president in a campaign which
hatters the 144 -year -old two-
term tradition became known after
both Secretary of State Cordell
Hull end Byrne had refused to
be considered. e

Mississippi delegation If was

predicted no one ehe weald

Ignoring the president's mes-
sage that he had no desire or
purpose to be a candidate the
delegates gave him 946 18-80 votes

lcctive 149 1-15 for four other
candidates.
Their votes:
James A. Farley 72 21 -ad.
Vice-President Gamer el.
Senator Millard Tydings 9V4.
Secretary Cordell Hull 5 2-2.
Each of the others quickly re-
moved himself from the field and
with a roar of acclamation the
nomination was made unanimous.
Arrange Radio Speech
Then the convention sat down
to wait for Mr. Roosevelt's reply
la the appeal that he run again. .
A special committee tried to
reach him by telephone but it
being well after midnight was told
he had retired. Nevertheless it
went ahead with tentative ar-
rangement! for him to give his
answer in a radio speech tonight.
The convention started its history-making
session last night in
a staid and traditional manner.
Delegates stirred and talked while
Senator Robert Wagner of New
York went through the routine of
reading the platform.
He elicited applause when he
read sections praising President
Roosevelt and approving the leg-
islation enacted under the New
Deal promising a continuance of
its principles. He got another rise
