Representatives John Sharp Will
liams of Mississippi, as leader of the
minority in the house of representa-
tives has issued to the press Il written
! statement defining precisely the atti-
tude of the democratic party In the

President Roosevelt in his messages to
congress at the present session.
The statement describes what repub-
lican legislation the dem ocrats Will

what concessions they demand on the

Mr.. Williams notes the following
measures as ones which will "com-
mand virtually the solid democratic
vote within constitutional limits:
