GARNER CINCHES
SPEAKER BERTH
Democratic Victory in Texas
Makes Election Sure.
BY THOMAS l.. STOKES
United Press STAFF Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The
rugged and picturesque Texas con-
gresham known as Fighting Jack"
Garner found himself placed Sc
curely in the saddle as Speaker of
the house today by the act Of his
own state.
A victory in the Fourteenth Texas
district, so long represented by a
Republican, gave the Democrats a
clear majority in the house for the
first time since the closely contested
election year ago. They now have
218 of the ABS seats and are assured
of control, barring unforeseen con-
tingencieS.
The election of Richard Kieberg
Of Corpus Christi to the seat of the
late Representative Harry Wurz-
bach, makes the count now stand:
Democrats, 216; Republicans, 214;
Farmer-Labor, :; vacancies, 2.
The victory in Texas, though ex-
pected from reports of the last few
days, encouraged Garner and other
party leaders to high hopes of cap
turing the special election in New
Jersey and New Hampshire and
thus increasing their slender mar
gin.
Even if they lost both of these
seats, which have been occupied by
Republicans, they would have a
majority of one, and that without
consideration Of the Farmer-Labor
member. raul j. Kvale GMinn.}.

COLD SNAP IS HERE
Mercury to Tumble Farther
Tonight, Is Forecast.

Indianapolis most publicized cold
wave held the city in its grip to-
day.
After three predictions of cold
weather, which failed to materialize,
the wave struck Indianapolis from

topping the mercury from its perch

However, Tuesday nights cold
snap was but warning, for the
weather bureau forecasts the ther-
mometer will slide to IS tonight.
Thanksgiving day will be fair, with
slowly rising temperature. 1t will
be different from last year, when
the mercury stood at l above zero
in early hours.
j. H. Arlington, weather bureau
chief, said he believed the cold snap
definitely ended the warm weather
which established a record for the
month.

mission in League of Nations cir
cles today of willingness to shelve
negotiations in favor Of nine-power

Threat of a japanese offensive
against Chinchow was believed re-
moved by Tokio'S acceptance, with

demand for a pledge of non-aggres-

The league council based it's hope
of compromise on modification of
the Chinese position which DR.. SEE

Ambassador Dawes advised the
Japanese delegate that Washington
considers the withdrawal of Jap

Washington denied that the United
States would not participate in &C

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Offi-
Gals close to Secretary of the Navy
Adams said today that Adams per-
sonal opposition was responsible for
General Smedley D. Buffers failure
to attain the post of marine COM
nandant
This statement was in reply to
charges by Butler in Liberty maya
zine that clique of desk admirals"
whom he characterized as "the poi
son gas squad, insisted that only a
naval academy graduate should
head the marines. Butler did not
attend the academy.
Adams is reported to have become
offended at Buffers conduct during
an inspection of the Quantico ma
rine base. On that occasion Butler
is reported to have addressed the
marine brigade as fellows:
Boys, I want you to get acquaint-
ed with the secretary of the whole
DAMNED navy"
One high naval official said Tues
day that Buffers charges were the
best justification of failure to pro-
mote him. 1t was pointed out, how
ever, that since 1860, five out of
nine marine commandments have not
been academy graduates. The last
four have.

BIZ Scripps-Hotoard Newspaper Alliance
MADISON, Wis, Nov. 25.-A pro-
gram for reducing local taxes and at
the same time greatly extending
public works and relief to the
needy with money from increased
income taxes was before the Wis
consin legislature TO-DAY, submitted
by Governor Philip F. La Toilette.
Our problem is the redistribution
of our purchasing power to enable
our population to receive enough Of
the medium of exchange. money, to
do business" said La Toilette in his
message to the legislature.
1.-The monopoly system at last has
acquired ownership of so much of
our wealth and thereby receives
such tremendous proportion Of the
medium of exchange that the rest
of us can not do business with each
other.
Four Measures Proposed
1.-THE rich. being unable to spend
the income which they have been
receiving, have been using their I'M
dependable income to acquire more
property, which, in turn, like roll
ing SNOWFALL, again increases their
already inexpendable income"
La Toilette proposed four meas
ures to correct this condition: ID
Ownership by the people of enough
instruments of common necessity to
protect the public against extor-
Tomato charges; co Provision of
machinery enabling business to gov
ern itself; 90 Provision of ma
chinery for economic and social re-
search; "a Equalization of the bur-
Gen of taxation.

AS immediate steps toward full
f1llment of this program La Fol-
lette proposed appropriation by the
state Of $12,000,000 to be given
towns, cities and counties for emer-
gency relief. and public works, and
for reducing taxes upon general
property one dollar per thousand

He proposed authorizing employ
ers to associate themselves in

Stabilizing employment, providing
that every such organization shall

ment of system of unemployment
