Washington, April 11-Back of all
the hullabaloo about Congressional
programs stalks the spectre of a
Presidential Veto The mere mention
of this dreaded action is sufficient to
throw cold water on the well-founded
enthusiasm of advocates for special
legislation. Legislators opposed to
the passage of suggested measures
try to discourage their constituents
interested in the promotion of certain
bills. They endeavor to exempt them
selves from responsibility by freely
predicting that the Chief Executive
will exercise a veto. In an impress
sive number of instances these legis-
lators are indebted to their imagin-
alton for their authority on the inten-
ton of the President.
The trainers of the Constitution, no
doubt, intended that the Chief Ex-
ecutive should serve as check on
the legislative body when it gave him
the discretionary veto power. It is
noteworthy that relatively few meas
ul0S ulcCIlHS Tic NClO nave UcClt
passed over the Presidents objections.
1t is mighty difficult for proponents
of a measure to muster two-thirds
majority to override a veto.
Several Pending.
There are several measures now
pending in the Senate and House
which are subjected to a whispering
campaign. Many departmental Off
cials, as well as Senators and Repre-
sentatives, seeking to block a vote on
important measures intimate that it
is useless to consider the proposed
legislation because it will ultimately
meet with a veto. 1t is remarkable
to note the number of legislators who
seemingly possess these clairvoyant
powers of reading the President S
mind. The present occupant of the
White House seems to take delight
in acting contrary to these self-con-
stituted oracles.
The time allotted to the present
session of Congress is about two-thirds
over and little important legislation
has been enacted. Members of the
House and Senate are becoming des-
perate. Various groups interested in
farm, flood, railroad, and other i'm
portant matters, are making overtures
in the hope of bringing out program
from the chaos that now exists. The
political futures of many Senators
depend upon their ability to rescue
pet measures from the Committee
pigeon-holes before adjournment in
June.

as the Republican party Is concerned,
they not only broke their word from
1921 to 1928, but they hold out not even
a future promise. And in the face of
this, in the platform of 1928, they say

other hand, the Democratic party spe-
ciiically pledges businesslike reorgan-
ization Of all the departments of the
Government, the elimination of dupli-
cation, waste and overlapping and the
substitution of modern, businesslike
methods for existing obsolete and anti
quated conditions.
. In all that I have stated here to-
night, I believe that have made out
a case for just statement on my part
that the Republican party is seeking to
continue control of this country under
false pretenses. It misstates and mis-
represents the Democratic attitude, mis-
states and nlisrepreSents its own atti-
tude and boasts of accomplishments that
In fact never took place.
1t Is for the American electorate on
the 6th of November to decide how
much longer they are ready to stand
for broken promises and miSstatements.
To bring the Government into har-
mony with modern progress and effi-
cheney, it will be necessary to restore
the Democratic party to power, and to-
night in Philadelphia confidently as
sert that that will be the decision of the
American people on election day.

HECKLER HALTS
CANNON'S SPEECH
Fight Threatens When
Charge of "Liar" Is Hurled
in Auditorium.

One lone supporter of the Democratic
nominee for President, sitting amidst
hundreds of cheering Hoover Demo-
crats," who last night packed the Presi-
dent Theater to hear Bishop James
Cannon, ir., of the Southern Methodist
Church, attack Tammany and Gov
Smith, threatened for a moment to
precipitate fight when he hurled the
charge of liar" at the speaker for
DENYING he was campaigning against
Smith because Of his religion.
When the heckler angrily voiced his
sentiments during the climax of the
vigorous attack by Bishop Cannon on
the Democratic standard bearer, a score
of men rose in their seats searching
for the diSturber while many others
shouted and hiSSed their objections to
the interruption.
Bishop Cannon, however, disregarded
the diScordant note and quiet was re-
stored. The speaker was given ovation
after ovation as he predicted defeat of
Smith, accused him of repudiating the
Democratic platform Dy his decision to
point the way" in reference to pro-
hibition enforcement and immigration,
and attacked Smith and John j. Ras-
kob, chairman of the Democratic COM
mittee, for their, plans for 'nullifica-
ton" of prohibition and their leadership
of the 'Tammany crowd"
Challenges Glass.
'Tamrnany," Bishop Cannon charged,
"is a society held together by the CO.
hesive force of public plunder."
Assertions by Senator Carter Glass
of Virginia to the contrary, the speaker
said, the outstanding issue of the presi-
Dental campaign now drawing to. a
close is prohibition enforcement and
the hopes of Tammany Democrats to
repudiate the law, either through null
lificatiop or establishing of State liquor
law control, which he held to be
back-number" method already proved
an utter failure.
Speaking as one who had been a
Democratic voter in Virginia for 43
years." Bishop Cannon said his party
owed thanks to the Republicans for
nominating a man of the character of
Herbert Hoover, when the Democratic
party for the first time had fallen into
the control of Tammany Hall and had
'disgraced" itself by naming Gov. Smith
as the Nations chieftain.
Cites Political Duty.
Apparently stung by the charges of
being a political parSon," Bishop Can
non frankly agreed he was parSon in
terested in politics and declared he had
q right to be.
"We would be utterly unworthy of the
trust imposed on a minister of the
church." he said, 'if we lodged or
skulked in this moral crisis.
Here a member of the audience
shouted: II am a Hoover Democrat
and the gathering broke into prolonged
applause.
Bishop Cannon was introduced by
George H. Lamar, Montgomery County
Democrat. James A. Edgerton, Prohi-
bition party presidential candate, who
recently withdrew from the campaign
delivered a brief Introductory speech, In
which he said he had been Democrat
and turned a prohibitionist as a protest
against Smith and his "repudiation"
Of the high ideals Of the Democratic
party. @
The meeting was held under auspices
of the Anti-Smith Democratic organiza-
ton of the eighth Virginia Congress
Sional district. of which Frank Lyon of
Fairfax is head.

ROBINSON PLEDGES
CURE OF FARM ILLS
Tells Iowa G. 0. P. Has "Tri-
fled Eight Years" With
Relief Problem.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DES MONIES, October 27-Here in
the center Of the State where the tall
corn grows and where a large share of
the McNary- -Haugen enthusiasm grew
to full vigor. Senator Joe t. Robinson
tonight pledged the Democratic. ma
tional ticket to a speedy solution Of
the farmers ills.
The address, which was broadcast
over a radio hook-up, was calculated
by Democratic leaders to be the climax
of Senator RobinSon's tour OF the Mid
die West, during which he has de-
nounced in upward of a score OF speech
es what ne termed 1.-The broken prom
ises of the Republican party in the last
eight years "
Declaring that the position of the
two major parties on farm relief has
been clearly defined, the nominee told
his audience that the time was at hand
when the farmers might express them
selves effectively" by voting the Demo-
cratic ticket.
IF the farmers neglect this oppor-
tunity," he said, "they are doomed to
disappointment and despair.
1.-The Republicans have trif1ed for
eight years with the farm relief prob
lem. If the Democrats are afforded the
opportunity, we will accomplish within
few months what the Republicans
have failed to do in eight years-that
which will never be done if Mr.. Hoover
becomes President"
The Senator charged Hoover with
being largely responsible for the
failure of farm relief legislation" and
renewed in considerable detail his
declaration that the Republican. candi-
date Sought to keep down the prices
of agricultural products in the interest
Of consumers"
Senator Robinson spent the night in
Des Moines. Tomorrow he will re-
sumo his campaign by travelling into
of speeches next week.

Promise Renewed"

This speech by the Postmaster Gen.
eral, made as early as 1921, and the
definite platform pledge of 1920, held
a hope out to the people of the coun-
try that they could look forward at an
early date to a reorganization Of the
machinery of the Federal Government
In the interest of greater efficiency
and economy.
Dupring the Harding administration
nothing happened. The platform plank
and the eloquent speech were entirely
forgotten.
In 1924. following its old-time trick,
we find the Republican party back
again with renewal Of the promise.

wages forced upon them by the
operators after the loss of the coal
strike, have become so restless that
the government was forced today to

$489,000 to relieve families in dis

Company, a United States concern,
which has bought up one cable and
wireless system after another.
This is a direct threat to the
British Empire cable trust, includ-
ing companies like the Imperial
Always, the Canadian Marconi and
the British General Electric, which
only recently were consolidated to
form a world war unit, with the gov
eminent having the right to take
over the whole communication sys-
tenn in case of war.
British newspapers point out that
an active American campaign of ac-
QUESTION, expansion and consolida-
ton is going on in South America
and point to such purchases as those
recently made by the Wall Street
International Telegraph Company in
Argentina, Uruguay and Bolivia.
Ford's British auto plant has also
reused great opposition from British
concerns and they insist that 40 per
cent Of the stock be bought by Bril-
fish business men, out of fear that
Wall Street will soon also control
the British auto market.

BRITISH CABLE
FIRMS ALARMED
AT U. S. threat
See Hoover Grabbing
Latin America

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE increas-
ing penetration of Wall Street CAPT
tai where until recently British in
terests were supreme, as in Latin
America, and Henry Ford's activ-
tiles in the British auto market, has
led to great alarm among the Bri-
fish imperialists. The leading fl
nancial figures of England have
been holding hurried meetings dur
ing the last week to find some way
to combat this increasing penetra-
ton.
The British cable trust and public
utility interests especially, who have
been pushed into tight corners in
Latin America, are greatly alarmed
over their decreasing influence.
That the situation is not only mat
ter of immediate dollars but also
matter of war preparations was
brought out at a meeting of the
directors of the Marconi Wireless
Company here when Mr.. F. G..
hellaWay, the managing director,
declared that the main danger
rested in these companies which
were of vital national interest"
such as cable and wireless. His
meaning was made quite clear when
he added: "These companies are, in
sense, as much a part of the pro-
vision for national security as the
army, navy and air force"
The Hoover imperialist cruise to
Latin America is looked upon by
British business men as proof that
the United States is out to dominate
the rich South American markets, in
which Britain is gradually losing its
control. They are especially appre-
hensive about the increased penetra-

Warfare between government
