ROGERS PANS
ALL AT MEET
Comedian Brings Fun
To Democrats Late
At Night

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-F=wili
Rogers was a speaker at last nights
democratic Jackson Day dinner but
there were so many other speak
ers ahead Of him that he had to wait
until ! o'clock this morning to do
his stuff. He paid them off, how
ever, with his first quip:
I'VE ought to be home by now, but
II we go to anything given by the
democrats we never get home"
II don't know when the democratic
party started" he said, "but from all
I've heard tonight it started several
hundred years before Jackson, for all
they have dug up here tonight
couldn't have happened since his
time.
Il have one thing to offer; that's
equal opportunities for none and
special privileges for ALL III that
line had been cut out we'd have been
home hours ago."
Turning to Claude G. Bowers, the
keynote speaker, Rogers said:
1T was yesterday when you made
the speech, but | congratulate you.
I've forgotten what you said, but ID
was darned good. When you got up
and covered the thing you just about
ruined these other guys. These other
speakers could have washed up then
and gone home.
They talk about my lack Of re-
spect for men In high office. Say
boy, not In my widest moments did I
ever call a republican the names you
did"
Reminding his audience that Will
liam Jennings Bryan onee stampeded
a convention, Rogers said, "This
little guy" might do likewise.
"Of course he hasn't got the
physical attributes Of Bryan" Rogers
added, shut then, looking into the
White House, that is not so import
ant"
Turning his guns on the senate,
Rogers said: 1T opens with a
prayer and closes with an investiga-
tion. T,
"They investigate hew much each
paid TO get in and il one paid more
than they did, they throw him out.
The house never minds how much
a member paid to get in because il
figures IL he did pay he's a simp."
VIII said he didn't know much
about Andy Jackson. but from what
he'd read he liked "a nip now and
then"
mo wonder he was sound on prin-
eiples," the comedian added.

ton. The subject was introduced by
Governor Richie Of Maryland, who
urged that prohibition be settled BY
self-deteTmination and home rule.
Moody for Enforcement
That prompted John W. Davis, the
1924 standard bearer and the ban
cuet toastmaster, to voice nS opinion
that the test Of a candidates fit
ness should not be based upon his
views on prohibition.
The other mention was by Dan
Moody, Texas youthfui governor,
who said the Republican party must
be held responsible for failure 10
enforce the Eighteenth Amendment.
he added his views that the amend
ment could no more be repealed than
could the Ten Commandments or the
Golden Rule, and that the Democratic
party should unite for law enforce

Cheer Smith Letter
The prohibition discussion came az
ter the reading Of the message from
Governor Smith. who said the press
OF official business kept him at home.
Read by the former Lieutenant Gov
ernor Lunn of New York, the mes
sage counselled the party to adhere
70 the principles Of Jackson and to
apply them IN its platform to the
problems OF the day.
Wild applause shattered the silence

Rogers Causes Laughter
Similar counsel came from other
speakers, with some Of them inter-
spersing jibes at the Republican
party. A lighter side was offered
by Will Rogers. the comedian, who
wise-eracked his way to continuous
applause by poking fun at both the
Democratic and Republican parties
and personalities.
Claude G. Bowers, Jackson and
Jefferson historian, sounded the kew
note Of the gathering with a plea
for a return 10 the policies Of the
party founders. He attacked mast
