ROOSEVELT T ANSWERS SMITHS ATTACK
Democrat Chiefs HaiI ShOuse.
 Contention Chairman Choice,
 'Man of 100, 900 Horsepower
tBy HERBERT PLuMMERl

WASHINGTON, April l9. = Choice of Jouebt Shouse as per manent chairman of the Democrat. ic National Convention will mean in the words from party headquar. ters in Washington, selection of { man with at least 100000 horse power in energy"
 Shouse generally is credited witt having brought the Democratic panty up from the depths to which 1t settled from the shock of de- feat in 1928 to it's present state of vigor and enthusiasm. The Exc cutive Chairman of the National Committee is looked upon by his associates as a man if he has any thing ito do today he adoeS it yes- terday"
 He has made probably 1,00C speeches since Chairman Raskct put him in charge of the National Committee in May of 1929. He has visited every section of the country traveling by plane when ever possible, speaking to Demo- cratic organizations, assisting the local bodies in harmonizing diffi- culties and getting their organiza- tions into fighting shape.
 Debonair and Suave
 Fifty-two years old, feet 10 inches tall, Shouse is the debonaiI and suave type of politician. He is the acme of sartorial elegance
 He has the reputation of being loyal to his friends and a good enemy.
 A veteran of national political conventions, Shouse was a dele gate at large and Chairman oi the Kansas delegation at the Den1- cratic c0ng1 g1nsloils ill 1929 and 1924. In 1924 he was field captain for William G. McAdoo at Madison Square Garden following winch he campaigned for John w. Davis the nominee.
 In the 1928 campaign he was a member of Al Smiths board of strategy.
 Before that he was member of Congress from Kansas, serving from 1915 to 1919. representing the largest wheat growing district in the state. At the end of his second term President Wilson ap-
The Daily Alaska empire., 1932-04-19

pointed him Assistant Secretary of the Treasury with jurisdiction over the revenue agencies.
 Harse Racing Is Hobby
 Born in Kentucky, he later moved to Kansas, where he is new engaged in stock farming and banking when not in Washington. His chief hobby is horse races. On his farm in Kansas he owns some racers-a few of which he says are pretty good.
 Shouse has expressed a desire to quit politics when the conven- ten at Chicago is oaaer aud the Democratic nomination for the Presidency made. If he should do that, then lis selection as Per- manent Chairman would be the climax of his years as executive head of the party.
 Those who know him best, how ever, are a bit skeptical about him actually quitting.
 "Shouse may believe in his heart he will quit, said one of his friends, but he can't. Politics and political maneuvering are in his blood. And they'll stay. there. !"

WASHINGTON, April 19.-Unit- ed States Senator William J. Har- ri5, Democrat of Georgia, died here yesterday after an illness of sev- eral weeks.
 A desire for public service, fos- tered by activities in state politics iri Georgia, eventually took Sena- tor Harris to positions of promi- nencc in the National government.
 After finishing his course at the University of Georgia, he engaged in the insurance business and banking at Cedartown, Ga, but after his initiation into politics he devoted most of his time to public service, finally becoming United States Senator from his native state.

Clay, Returning to his home state at the conclus- ion of that assignment. he was elected to the Georgia State Sen ate and for a number of years was a member of the Democratic State Committee of Georgia.

 TARIFF REVISION
Declares His Policies h. cluding Tariff Changes
 lWouldHelp AllPeople

ST. PAUL, Minn., April 19.- Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt, in his first campaign speech this yeal outside of his own State, last night enlarged upon his declarations oi two weeks ago which drew fire from Alfred E. Smith, and con cluded a plea for National com munity of interest" by a general challenge, If that be treason make the moss of it."
 In his speech two weeks ago Gov. Roosevelt had contended that to relieve the depression it would be necessary for the Government to start with the masses and not the big bankers. He said in the radio address:
 "In my calm judgment, the na- tion faces today a more grave emer- gency than in 1917.
 Parallel Case
 Tt is said that Napoleon lost the Battle of Waterloo because he for- got his infantry = he staked toe much upon the more spectacular but less substantial cavalry. The present Administration in Washing ton provides a close parallel. It has either forgotten or it does not want to remember the infantry of our economic army.
 "These unhappy times call for the building of plans that rest upon the forgotten, the morgan ized but the indispensable units of economic power, for plans like those of 1917 that build from the bottom up and not from the top down, that put their faith once more in the forgotten man at the bottom of the economic pyramid
 Compliments Smith
 In his address last night, which Gov. Roosevelt had frankly labelled privately, My Answer to Smith, he referred to Smith only once, then in complimentary manner. He defended his speech of two weeks ago, which Smith had at tackled as setting "class against class and rich against poor" He said in his opinion the proper tariff policy must be a complete reversal of the methods Of the present Administration"
 Helps All
 Citing Jefferson, Franklin, Theo- dore Roosevelt and others as cham pions of his philosophy, Gov. Roose- welt continued:
 Tt seeks to help all simultan- eously. It is broad enough to in- clude millions who are not helped by merely helping their employers because they are not strictly em- ployers.'
 Urging National control of power development, Gov. Roosevelt prais- ed former Gov. Smith for his part in preserving New York's power resources.
 He concluded with a powerful urge for the downward revision of the tariff"
