KEYNOTING—When Gen. John-

nisiness men that “you ain’t seen

alklng about the coming political
campaign.
It is axiomatic that a President
nust not interfere in a congres-

^finite indications Mr. Roosevelt
?lans to lay on a gentle helping
land nevertheless.
Don't think R will take the form

Puerto Rico the Virgin Islands

thtnce to Hawaii in June and July

harbor on Jum 33. This would gee
the President back to the Ameri-
can mainland around the middle
ol Julj —docking at Seattle.
Obviously the outward journey
will be one of recreation and in-
spection. What worries the repub-
licans is what will happen from
Seattle back to Washington. They
think they foiesee the makings ot
a transcontinental tour that will
enable the President to get off
three or four well-chosen keynote
speeches for the campaign and any
number of personal appearances.
