STRUCK CLOSE TO HOME

He then turned to tariff and finally to the merchant marine The three phases of his subject struck close home, apparently, to the New Englanders who applaud ed enthusiastically. Tn taking up the tariff he declared that appli- cation of the Democratic formula would mean "A flood of foreign goods, foreign farm produce and the consequent reduction of wages and incomes, not only for the wor
 kers and farmers, but those who labor whether in the field, desk or bench"

COMMISSION VALUABLE

Hoover did not mention Smith but stated his own views on the tariff commission which Smith discussed at Louisville last Satur- day. He declared the commission is valuable arm of the govern ment and added Tt can be straightned and made more use ful several ways, but the Ameri- can people will never consent del- egating authority over the tar if to any commission whether nonpartisan or partisan.
 Our people have the right to express themselves at the ballot upon such an important and vital question as this. There is only one commission to which the delega- tion of such authority can be made and that is the great commission of their own choosing. The Con- gress of the United States and their President is the only com- mission which can be held res ponsible to the electoraat."

letter to . distinguished man say ing that neither the 18th amend ment nor the Volstead act should b. changed"
 Tydings conferred with Joseph P. Humility. who was Wilson's pri- vate secretary, and who was spec tator at the hearings. and after wards said that whatever Wilson might have said or written private ly the fact remained that he had vetoed the dry law.
 Later, Bishop Canon remarked that Tydings' statement was "a misrepresentation of the great president"
 The initial tilt of the hearings followed statement by J. A. Nc Sparren of Pennsylvania. that the demand for modification of the dry laws came not from the solid south, but from ''the sidewalks of New York and Philadelphia where they do not register and count their votes, but merely estimate them" He was promptly called to order, Chairman Pittman reminding him that the rules forbade political speeches, to which McSparren re- piled that he was not aware that references to cities meant personali- ties.
 Another argument came when Senator Glass sought to close the hearing without taking the testi- mony of the dry organization rep. resentatives whom he described as neither hot nor cold on this ques- tion."
 A wrangle followed within the committee itself which took up al! but five minutes of the 40 allotted 10 the dry organizations. When Pittman announced that only five minutes remained for discussion. Bishop Cannon protested that the 31 organizations preferred not to be heard at all if they could not have as much time as those arguing for and against specific reference to the 18th amendment. He was cheered particularly by the women in the audience. and finally won for the full time.
 Governor Moody wanted the time extended 80 members of the com- mittee could be heard. but he was informed that they would have sui. hclent time to discuss the issue in executive sessions later. The uues. ton had not been reached in the sub-committee's closed session at daylight.
