add to cart   close window

The U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt's is an extraordinarily difficult task because the Democratic Party has been out of power so long that there have been few opportunities for new leaders to develop. There are no new outstanding figures in the House of Representatives, and hardly any who have made records as governors, with Albert Ritchie of Maryland the chief exception. Especially in the West has there been a dearth of outstanding Democratic leaders. Today there seems to be agreement that one appointment has been decided upon, that of James Farley, Mr. Roosevelt's campaign manager, as Postmaster-General and general distributor of the patronage in cooperation with Louis Howe, Roosevelt's Fidus Achates.
