NEXT PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES
MR HARRY HOPKINS MAY BE CONSIDERED
(Received November 24, 11.55 p.m.) NEW YORK, November 24. The Washington correspondent of The New York Herald Tribune says that after a conference the Democratic leaders of 21 eastern and southern states went away with the impression that Mr Roosevelt’s current choice for his successor at the White House is Mr Harry Hopkins, of the relief administration, but it was indicated to the Press that he would be nominated only ‘ over our dead bodies.” The objections to Mr Hopkins are that he is an out-and-out New Dealer who is supposed to have aroused the enmity of many types of business men and to have alienated the farmers because of the difficulties over farm labour, and that he has made the middle classes distrustful because of his identification with the concept of lavish spending.
