VETO EURCED
Lynch Davidson Tells Moody
Measure Would Cement
Hoover-Dems

DALLAS, Tex, March 12.-(P)-
Lynch Davidson of Houston, in a
telegram to Governor Moody urg-
ing veto of the boilers bill, said the
measure, if not KILLED" would crys-
talliZe Hoover democrats into a
powerful republican political ma
chine in Texas, seemingly dry but
actually wet"
'As ring leaders of the harmony
democrats we are not without re-
sponsibility for republican success
in Texas" the message said. while
we stuck to our democrati guns
and voted the ticket straight, a
tide against Smith was started that
could not be turned when his NOM
ination was forced upon us.
Il have no sympathy with people
who do not keep their political or
party pledges, but the preservation
and solidarity Of the party is Of
primary importance.
The boilers bill would lead a
quarter Of a million people out Of
the democratic party in Texas who
have done no more than has been
done numerous times before by
many Of the self-Same people who
now complain 1t might destroy
our party in Texas and only serve
to crafty vengeance on supposed
bolter leaders, who in truth were
not leaders at all, but crafty
enough to get in front of the
parade"
