Garner Also Voices Retort to
President as ContereeS Take
HouSe-Senate Measure

With a bitter conflict be-
tween President Hoover and
Congress on jobless relief legis-
lation now regarded as in
evitable, Senator Wagner (DO
of New York today answered
Mr.. Hoover criticism Of his
$2,300,000,00O program in a
speech in the Senate.
Asserting that the Senate pro-
gram lis sound, Wagner charged
that Mr.. Hoover delayed pro
posing relief legislation until the
congressional policy was virtually
decided.
Wagner said the program over
whelmingly indorsed by the Sen
ate provided $2,000,00O,000 for
construction work, which must
of necessity create demand for
commodities, check the decline
in prices, stimulate business and
open jobs for those who have
been pounding the pavements for
three long years in vain"
Pork Barrel Denied
He declared that the Presidents
denunciation of the program as a
"pork barrel measure" which
would destroy months of heart
breaking effort to balance the
budget was unfounded. He added:
"It may well be that within his
own heart the President ap-
proved of legislation for relief
of the unemployment. but if so,
he effectively concealed it until
after bills had been proposed
and studies made"
Speaker John N. Garner today
commented:
'If you provide funds for
special interests, that is states
manShip. If you do the same
thing for the whole people it is
pork.
"Many millions of dollars
have been loaned to the ship
ping interests at a quarter of l
per cent a year interest. That,
of course, is not pork"
The new bsttle over jobless re-
lief legislation was precipitated as
a result of President Hoover's de-
mand that Congress rewrite the
Garner and Wagner programs.
Mr.. Hoover'S statement created
a clear-cut issue between himself
and Congress over the proposal
to inaugurate a huge Federal
works program.
Adjournment Far Off
The Presidents attack. together
with the Senate debacle on the
$150,000,000 economy bill, blasted
all hopes of an early adjourn
rnent of Congress.
The whole relief question was
taken up today by Senate and
] House conferees on the Wagner.
Garner bill with efforts being
made to harmonic the two meas
ures and bring them to final
passage next week.

Roosevelt Has
Shifted NiewSOn
2Hirds Rule

NEW YORK, June 25 G.N.S0
In 1924, when Gov. Franklin D.
Roosevelt was chairman of the
New York State committee for
the nomination of Alfred E.
Smith for the Presidency, he
was not in favor of the abroga-
ton of the two-thirds majority
rule, the New York Sun said
today. in reprinting the follow
ing interview Governor RooSe-
welt gave the New York Times
on June 10, 1924:
Leaving out the question of
Smith, McAdOO, or any other
candidate, I doubt if any rules
of the convention should be
changed after the delegates are
elected. But if, after the con-
ventiOn has met, it should ap-
pear the old rules are working
a hardship on the party, that
might be reason for a change
next year. But such a change
should be made for party rea-
sons only"

TUMULTY ASKS
2-TH|RDS RULE

CHICAGO. June 25 G,N.SD.
The forces lining up against abro-
cation of the two-thirds nomina.
ting rule in the Democratic con-
vention today gained the vigorous
support of Joseph P. Tumulty,
secretary to the late Woodrow
Wilson.
He quoted the former President
in his attack on the proposal Of
the Roosevelt forces that the
rules be changed and a majority
be sufficient to nominate, saying:
During the pre-cOnventiOn
days of 1912, certain friends of
Woodrow Wilson, then a candi-
date for President, suggested
the need for abrOgating the
twO-thirds rule in order that his
nomination for the Presidency
might be accomplished. Wood
row Wilson Spurned the Sugges-
ton, and characterized it as
selfish OppOrtunism.'

Roosevelt Forces Are Facing
Fight on Craftsmanship
as Convention NearS
By GEORGE r. HOLMES

CHICAGO, June 25 (I.N.S.).
Battle lines grew taut today
between the Roosevelt and
anti-Roosevelt forces over the
effort of the Roosevelt man
ayers to abolish the two-thirds
nominating rule and jam the
governor s nomination through
on the first ballot in the Demo
cratic national convention.
Senator Carter Glass of Vir-
ginia, was busy trying to organize
bloc that will serve notice on
Roosevelt at once that they viii
bolt any candidate who accom-
plishes his nomination in the
way that Roosevelt managers
propose to do it.
The opposition to the Roosevelt
plan was further strengthened by
the arrival of the Indiana dele
gates, most of whom are for
Roosevelt.
Opposed BY Taggart
But Young Tom" Taggart, son
of the late Indiana boss. after a
conference with John F. Curry.
the Tammany leader, announced
that he would oppose the aboli-
ton of the ancient rule, and that
furthermore he would fight the
effort to substitute Senator
Thomas j. Walsh, of Montana
for Jouet Shouse as permanent
chairman.
The confidence of the anti
Roosevelt people in their ability
to block the move grew as the
delegates poured into town and
got into the discussions. Al Smith,
when meeting press conference
said:
"It's as good as licked, but
they're still talking about It,.
While the confident AL was ex-
pressing these sentiments, James
A. Farley. the Roosevelt general
issimo. was telling another group
of reporters that "it'S all over"
Almost Same Phrase
Unconsciously, Farley used al
most the same phrase as Smith in
describing the situation. He
said:
They're licked and they
know it,"

twO-thirds rule and the election

CONTESTS WON
BY ROOSEVELT
BY GEORGE E. DURNO

CHICAGO, June Is G.N.SO.
The hackers of Gov. Franklin D.
Roosevelt of New York professed
to be we'll satisfied today over
what they termed preliminary vic
tories.
Two major delegations pledged
to Roosevelt's candidacy had been
seated with remarkable ease by
virtue of the full Democratic ma
tional committees vote.
One was headed by the inimit-
able Senator Huey Long, repre-
senting Louisiana. The other,
coming from Minnesota. was led
by Einar Hoidale, 1880 Senatorial
candidate, and National Commit
teeman Joseph Wolf.
Both contests must go before
the convention credentials COM
mittee next week for final settle
ment.
The Roosevelt hackers were
pointing to the manner in which
National Chairman John j. Ras-
kob was spanked in this connec-
tion. Raskob, who is reputed to
be oppose to the New York gov,
ernor, tried futilely to have all
contests referred back to a sub
committee of his own choosing
that the Roosevelt delegations de-
clined to recognize.
The Roosevelt managers took
hold OF the national committees
meeting in bald fashion, and won
handily, although there was some
question whether a true test vote
was being obtained in any contest.

CHICAGO, June Is 0.N.SJ.
The Democratic party was urged
today by Senator James A. Reed,
Missouri's fighting candidate for
the Presidential nomination, to
pledge itself to abolish the Fed
eral Farm Board.
Reed declared the farm boards
$3.50 600, 900 loss should convince
the American people that fixing
prices by legislation has proven
a failure. He said:
Cali attempts of government
to control prices by law have
resulted in calamitieS. The fact
is demonstrated by the expert
ence of ages.
"MOre recently, the attempt
of Brazil to regulate the price
of coffee brought widespread
ruin to the people of that
country. Australia and New
Zealand utterly failed in their
attempts to have the govern.
ment take care of private
activities of their people,"

"We've got the opposition licked
and they know it. Gov. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt will be nomi-
mated OH an early ballot"
This declaration was made to-
day by James A. Farley. spokes-
man for the New York execu
tive, in the face of claims by the
anti-Roosevelt forces that they
would be able to block abrogation
of the two-thirds nominating rule
and thereby eliminate Governor
Roosevelt.
Farley predicted the Roosevelt
forces would be able to muster
$3.50 votes or more" for abolition
of the two-thirds rule and to
elect Senator Thomas j. Walsh
of Montana as permanent chair
man. He added:
"The favOrite son States are
insisting that we wait until a =
third or fourth ballot before
abrOgating the twO-thirds rule.
They want to vote for their
favOrite sons for the first few
ballots. still believe, however,
that we should abrOgate the
twOthirdS rule immediately"

WITH BELLS ON
BY MARGARET LANE

CHICAGO, June IS G.N.S0.
If Chicago were Hollywood, Gov
ernor Ritchie would be said, for
the present at least, to have
stolen the picture" He arrived
in a magnificence that Smith
might envy AMI Roosevelt despair
of, and every movement that he
has made has been accompanied
by unexpected fanfares, with
Ritchie the most astonished man
on the set.
Sudden crowds sprang out OF
the ground to parade him from
the station. Extra flags, posters,
pictures, and delegates appeared
all over everybody's headquarters,
wearing yellow favors and shiny
likeneSSes of the man in their
bosoms.
His first press conference was
crowded out by noisy admirers,
who finally drove him in despair
to his private suite with never a
word spoken. It was the first
time in either convention that the
police had to be called in to pro-
tect the star from his fans.
"Our next President! Our next
President!" they surged round
him with grins and cries. Almost
they tried to touch the hem of his
garment. Ritchie smiled with
pleasure and embarrassment, ask
ing:
DO I take this sitting down
or standing up?"

Mrs. Louise w. Williams, of New York City, and National President of the American Legion Auxiliary, who has been in Alaska on official business, was entertained at a ban- quet given by the local unit of the Auxiliary Friday evening.
 Mrs. Williams has visited practi- cally every Auxiliary unit in Alas ka with the exception of Nome. Time did not permit her to visit there. On the way up from Seat tie, she visited most of the South eastern Alaska units. She passed thru Seward about a week ago and since then visited the Anchorage and Fairbanks units. While at An chorage she made an address over Radio KFQD to the whole of Alas ka. On her way to the States again Mrs. Williams was given an oppor- tunity to visit with the local unit
 The National President of the Auxiliary declared that she was we'll pleased with the accomplish ments of the units in Alaska-the women members have made re- markable progress despite the han dicap of isolation they must meet.
 She is visiting the unites in the outlying Territories and possessions of the United States rather than the units of the United States this year. The latter have had enough attention already, she said.
 Mrs. Williams was escorted to the SS. Aleutian by members of the local post of the American Le- zion and when the boat whistled out she was on her way to Peters, burg and Sitka. From here she will go to Seattle, Auxiliary head quarters at Indianapolis and then to New York City.
