Macy Working to Save
Electoral Vote Next Year
Meanwhile, in New York
State, Mr.. Macy continues to
work out his party strategy in
the hope of creating a Hoover
Holiday" and saving the elec-
toral vote next year.
But recently he was dis
tressed because of the indict-
ment of the brains of the con-
spiracy in the case of the great
bank failure; but, equally dis
tressed because Of the result
of the conspiracy, he calls upon
Governor Roosevelt to remove
Joseph A. Broderick, the
superintendent of banks.
The politics in this move is
apparent. The purpose is to
reflect upon the administra-
ton of Governor Roosevelt
throughout the country.
And yet no one in New
York questions the integrity
of the superintendent, or
doubts that, when confronted
with situation of the utmost
delicacy. charged with the
possibilities of the gravest
consequences. he did all that
was humanity possible to save
the bank and the depositors!
Governor Will Not
Remove Broderick
OF course, Governor Roose-
velt will not remove Mr..
Broderick.
But we were to have a leg
islative investigation into the
bank department-in New York
city alone. It develops, how
ever, that Mr.. Macy is unable
thus far to persuade his fellow
partisans of the wisdom of
playing politics with the bank
ing situation at this particular
time.

measure up to the requirements

force furnished him by the law.
