.SEAWAY PROJECT
CALLED I'LL ADVISED
"Just Another Expensive
Government Venture" Says
Representative Lamneck.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The projected ST. Lawrence waterway
was described today in a statement by
Representative Lamneck, Democrat, Of
Ohio, as lust another ill-adVsed, ex-
pensive governmental business ven
ture."
The statement, issued through his
office here, said Congress should inves-
tigate the treaty negotiated by Presi-
dent Hoover's administration with the
Canadian government.
There is no doubt in my mind, that
its consummation and operation would
be disastrous to the country, further di-
minish the finances of American rail-
ways, and be inimical to the best in
terests of American labor" Lamneck
said
Plans for Funds.
According to my information, our
Government Is to finance the whole
project, costing $500, 100000 and ad-
vance to Canada her proportionate
share of the cost. In view of the pres
ent day methods of international mat
ters, am wondering even now whether
there would not be moratorium to
postpone payments, if not, finally a de-
mand for cancellation of the debt"
He said the project would benefit
comparatively few manufacturers and
exporters on the Great Lakes and i'm
porters living overseas.
These benefits, in my judgment,
would be insignificant compared to the
great injury done the interests of the
railways and the people have already
indicated" he continued.
Fears Loss to New York.
'If this waterway is constructed as
proposed, the chief seaport of the
country would most likely be removed
from New York to Montreal" he said.
That is another loss this country
would sustain. The State of New York,
it seems, is to be assessed S75,O000O
to meet the cost of constructing this
waterway.
In my judgment, that is one rea-
son Gov. Roosevelt sought conference
with President Hoover Another rea-
son. I imagine, is that he may have
desired to warn the President of the
possible dangers in the treaty that
might threaten this country"

RISING IN NEW YORK .
W. KingsIand Macy State
Chairman, Reports Reaction

NEW YORK. August ia rising
tide of Republican enthusiasm" in New
York State was claimed by w. Kings
land Macy Republican State chair
man. in a telegram sent yesterday to
Eastern campaign headquarters.
There was a sparkle il the eyes Of
Senator Felix Hebert, director of the

as he read this sentence of the mes
sage.
New York State, home of the Demo-
cratic standard bearer, has At cleo
toral votes and will be one Of the
principal backgrounds in the Fall

Hastings Statement.
AS Senator Hebert announced re-
ceipt of the conclusions reached by
Macy in his tour of upstate counties,
Senator Daniel o. Hastings of Della
ware, assistant Eastern manager, is
sued the following statement:
I'VE realize that the Democrats are
at the present time claiming all the
New England and Eastern States.
I'VE hope to get one or two from
them before the end of the month.
We should be able to get a few
more during September.
by the middle Of October all Of
them should be safely Republican.
ITO make certain of such results will
require work. We at least are assuming
that to be true.
I'VE must get the truth to the in
dividual voter. If We do that we shall
convince him. The Democratic candi-
date will have trouble convincing the
East that they are not radicals
"In their endeavor to do SO, they will
ALLEVIATE their three great generals, Long,
Wheeler and Dill.
After all. the only possible chance
the Democrats have Is to be radical
and more radical with each day OF the
campaign"
Enthusiasm Rising.
Macy said of New York State that
"In conferences so far held in my cir
cult of the State, leaders of almost
two score counties report rising tide
of Republican enthusiasm, in response
to President Hoover's acceptance
speech"
II am not exaggerating," he added
, when I say that nothing has stirred
the hearts and minds of men and
women in the State to such an extent
since Lincolns Gettysburg address"

SPEAKER LEAVES CAPITAL.
Texan Feels Sure Democrats Will Win
Presidency This Fall.

Predicting the Democratic ticket will
win in November, Speaker John N.
Garner left Washington last night tor
his home in Uvalde, Tex, where he will
remain until time to begin campaigning.
The Democratic nominee for Vice
President, who stopped here en- route
from conferences with party leaders in
New York, was in a jovial mood as he
answered rapid fire of questions from
large group of newspaper men at the
Press Club, and occasionally he would
fire back a question of his own.
IF the election were held today" the
Speaker said, my conviction is the
Democrats would win by from 100000
to 100000 plurality"
Convinced New Yorkers.
Asked what the effect might be if the
condition of the country should improve
between now and November, the Speaker
replied:
"A Republican told me Roosevelt and
myself couldn't do enough to keep from
being elected"
Some one asked if he had convinced
New Workers that he is not radical,
ana he replied:
LAS far as I could see and observe,
yes. think I convinced them I'm not
going to eat them up"
Questioned as to the results of his
conference with former Gov Alfred E.
Smith, particularly as to the part the
1928 Democratic standard bearer would
take in the coming campaign, Garner
at first reiterated the statement he
made in New York that he would let
Smith talk about that. Pressed for
some comment as to what he thought
Smith would do Garner later said:
II hope and I believe he will be an
active supporter of the ticket, and
have reason to believe it."
Has Prepared Acceptance.
This was slightly more emphatic than
the response the speaker made before
he left New York.
When the Speaker remarked that he
has prepared a reply to the recent
letter formally notifying him of his
nomination as the Democratic vice
presidential candidate, some one joking
~ inquired if he had accepted.
Yes, sir" the Speaker replied, with
a smile, and added, And I'm still a
candidate for the House"
The Texan predicted he would be
elected in both cases. Asked if he
was establishing precedent in run
ming for both Offices, the Speaker re-
piled that he may be, but that he has
set many precedents since he has been
in public life. He pointed out that
when the time comes he could go from
the Speakership to the office of Vice
President in 80 minutes and added
that that is what he intends to do
He also pointed out that he had been
a candidate for reelection to the
House for a year before he was noni-
noted for the vice presidency.
