...gubernatorial candidacy. Candidate Earle, 43, is vice president of Pennsylvania Sugar Co. For 20 years he was one of the best polo players on Philadelphia's sporting Main Line. His grandfather presided at the first Republican National Convention, but Mr. Earle was early on the Roosevelt Bandwagon.

As a mem ber of this body he buttonholed Congressmen for two years, trying to pound home his ideas on farm relief. Early on the Roosevelt bandwagon, he now works just as hard to put into effect the Roosevelt domestic allotment as he did for his own equalization fee. and doubtless gets wry satisfaction when delegations of lobbyists wait on him. He is now inside the glass house he used to throw stones at, and apparently enjoys glass-housekeeping...
