Money's Worth
For Jackson, dinners; for Jefferson, dances; for Roosevelt, dollars; such has been Postmaster General James Aloysius Farley's program for raising a campaign chest for 1936. The rich who can be persuaded to part with money for nothing this year are giving to the Liberty League. Therefore, Mr. Farley has had to turn to those who want something for their money. For Jackson's birthday he gave dinners priced up to $50 a cover. For Jefferson's birthday he gave dances at assorted prices. For Franklin Roosevelt's nomination he last week devised a scheme to give thousands of Democrats throughout the land something in exchange for $1 a head. Their money's worth:
1) Admission tickets to Democratic rallies in ball parks and stadia to which Franklin Roosevelt's acceptance speech will be broadcast.
2) Ticket stubs declaring that the holder is a "Roosevelt Nominator," with his name enrolled on a "Nominators" roster that will be presented to the President.
3) A slogan: "I Want Roosevelt."
