DEMOCRATS
URGED To
CARRY ON
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES

DN IuAIOI1Ol1 ANs AAOA<NNhAIkJ
The long faces which most Demo.
cratic leaders have been exhibiting
around washington since their re-
turn from the scenes Of last weeks
debacIe at the polls. were distinctly
more cheerful today
Gov. AL Smiths message to the
American people, Z broadcast to the
country last night, and revealing
him to be "a happy warrior in de-
feat as well as in victory, did a
lot to perk up sagging Democratic
hopes.
Governor Smiths speech had been
regarded with some apprehension by
some Of the party leaders here. A
few of them feared that the Gov
ernor might allow some Of the bit
terness Of the campaign itself to
creep into his valedictory address.
or that ne might take advantage Of
the occasion to rebuke some of the
party boilers.
Urges Party To Carry On
Their fears were goundless. In
stead OF the wall of the loser. or
the accusing alibi Of disgruntled
candidate they heard an appeal to
forget the bitterness of the cam
paign, an appeal to support the
Hoover administration in its con-
structiVe measures for public well
fare. and further appeal to con-
tinue their own fight for construc-
tive. forward-looking party en-
deavor.
1T must be remembered, said
the Governor. that while the poll
tical party may seriously divide
public thought and public opinion
during the progress of the campaign,
after the American people made their
decision, the man selected is not
President of the Republican party,
but is President of the American
people.
He is President Of all the people,
and as such he is entitled to the co.
operation of every citizen in the de-
veIopment of program calculated
to promote the welfare and best in.
terests Of the country"
At the same time the governor
declared emphatically that "the
principles for which the Democratic
party stands are ais great III defeat
as they would have been in victory
and it is our duty to vindicate the
principles for which we fought"
Wants Active Program
He admonished the Democrats in
Congress particularly to mobilize be-
hind a constructive program embody-
ing those principles. The Democrats,
he said. cannot afford to sit back
inactive, hoping to profit solely by
mistakes of the other side. nor can ii
console itself with destructive criti.
cism.
The party leaders here listened in
vain for some hint of what Cover
nor Smiths own political future Is
to be, if any. All they heard was
that he would continue to support
he party and its principles with all
the vigor l can command-and.
more, l will battle for it" That
and another statement that Il pledge
my unceasing interest and concern
with public affairs" afforded the
only insight into the Governors
future political activities.
Those who know him, however,
believe that he meant exactly what
he said Immediately after his de-
feat that never again will 1 stand
for public office"

The Governments key witness in
the perjury trial of Col. Robert W.

scheduled to take the witness stand
today as the case went into its
third day. This witness was Sena-
tor Gerald p. Nye Ga.) OF North

which the alleged false testimony
was given.

WI Denied Getting Bonds
The Senator was pressing the oil
man for information about the dis
position or several million dollars in
Liberty bonds, which represented
the profits Of the mysterious Cont
mental Trading Company. Some of
these bonds passed from Harry #.
Sinclair TO former Secretary of In
terror Albert s.. Fall just at the
time Sinclair was acquiring what
the Supreme Court has termed a
fraudulent lease on the Teapot
Dome naval oil reserve.
Colonel Stewart, in answer, said,
according to the official records, he
had never personally received" any
of these bonds, nor personally
profited single dollar" out of the
Continental
Later it was developed that $751;
500 of these bonds actually had
been delivered to stewart, and he
then explained he had immediately
converted them into a trust fund
to accrue at his death to the Stan
dard Oil Company of Indiana, not
even touching the interest thereon
meanwhile.
Jury Under Guard
A lock-and-key jury is hearing
the case. Justice Jennings Bailey
ordered the jurors locked UP for
duration of the trial on the first
day when one of the members Of
the jury panel announced in court
that a stranger had approached
him at his home the day before
and asked him to 'hold out in this

every available clue in an effort to
find the man who made this ap-
rroach and ascertoin what fnflu-
ences were behind him. 1t seemed,
however, that the search would
prove futile, for Robert Caldwell,

Although the Connecticut trolley mems union has called a strike to take effect midnight. Monday night. which will affect approximately 2,000 men in the state, there is a probability that most if not all the cars on the New Britain division will operate on Tuesday morning.
 New Britain trolleymen are not in favor of a strike. Many of them do not believe the strike will ever materialize and others say they will refuse 10 stop work even if the rest of the men do go out.
 "We will make every effort to keep the cars running here and I propose to fill vacancies as fast as they occur" said Superintendent William J. Bryan today in discuss ing the situation. 'I don't believe many of our men will go out, the general sentiment being opposed to strike here" he added.
