been the President"

pendent from Iowa, interrupted to say
that he agreed with much of what Con-
nally said, but wanted to know what
the Democrats would do If they were In
power.
eff the Democratic party doesn't fol-
low its leader any better than the Sen
ator from Iowa follows his leader, 1t
won't get anywhere" replied Connally,
adding that he was sure, there would be
more coordination from bis party.
Brookhart then attempted to ques-
ton Connally on Garner's stand" on
power unemployment relief and pro-

Senator Tydings, Democrat, of Mary
land interrupted to say:

that it is getting very close to Easter. y
Meanwhile, Representative Warren Of
North Carolina said in statement 1t
was a piece of unmitigated gall for
Secretary Hyde to upbraid the Demo-
crat House" FOR passing the $l32, ,500,-
900 emergency road bill to give people
jobs when the Republican party sat
impotent and suggested nothing"
Warren led the fight Saturday for the

Secretary Hyde speaks of the def
icit," Warren said, and l remind
him that all of it was created under
the present administration, and it re-
manned for the Democratic House to
endeavor to balance the budget when

U6Hpt IL.
In his statement yesterday, Moses as
serted that while the Democratic head
man in the House was blaming Presi-
dent Hoover for starting a panic, he
should have piled upon the Chief Ex-
ecutive responsibility for the rest of the
worlds ills.
Doubtless" he observed these and
other charges against Mr.. Hoover will
be formulated by the Speaker as he ad-
vances in his campaign for the presi-
dency and as soon as he determines the
more pressing question whether he is
tunning as wet or dry"
Garner quickly issued a reply. Ap-
parently, he said, Moses had given
about as much thought to his utterance
as he did before making the now famous

Democratic leaders saw further ag-
gravation of their pre-convention situa-

Gov. Roosevelt, who VIII fight it out
with Smith in the first presidential
primary March 8 in New Hampshire,
is described a viewing Seabury's criti-
cism as 'urlair." While the Governor
himself declined to comment, close

he should not participate in political
issue in one of the cities of the State
since he was charged with the duty of
presiding as chief magistrate in the
proceedings leading to the removal of
Sheriff Thomas M. Farley, Tammany
