whether he is in love with the
wealthy planters daughter with
whom he spends much of his time,
or with the poor girl of his own

diligence to improve himself.

made one big step forward and
they will have encouraged the
proponents of a more equitable
tax system for California to fur

DENIES CHARGE
Of SEEKING
REVENGE
CongratuIates Speaker on
Battling White House
to Help JobleSS

Speaker Garner Of the House,
the Democratic vice presiden-
tial candidate, today promised
William Gibbs McAdoo that he
will make "at least one
speech" in California during
his campaign, probably in Los
Angeles.
Enthused over the result Of the
Chicago convention, McAdoo pre-
dicted that Roosevelt and Garner
will carry the country, saying:
"They will carry every State
on the Pacific Coast, including
California, President HOOver's
own State.
''The people Of this country
are overwhelmingly for q
change in administration and
nothing can stop that mo
mentum."
Seeks No Revenge
Although he played an impor-
tant role in the convention NC
Adoo denied charges that he was
seeking revenge. Asked to COM
ment on Alfred E. Smiths state
ment that he would support the
ticket, McAdoo said:
'T felt sure that Governor
Smith-he is a fine Democrat
wOuld support the ticket. 1t
was unfair to suggest that he
would not support it."
Commenting on charges that
he was seeking revenge for his
own defeat in the 1924 conven-
ton, McAdoo added:
"That is ridiculous. ex-
planned in my speech at the
convention why 1 supported
Governor Roosevelt. I felt that
the country Is i'm such bad con-
ditiOn it needs the Democratic
party and the party should not
destroy its chance Of useful
mess through q prOtracted con-
test.
"If / had been seeking re-
venge, would not have sup
ported Roosevelt. He led the
Smith fight in 1924"
SIDES WITH GARNER
McAdoo warmly congratulated
Garner on his fight with Presi-
dent Hoover over making loans
of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation available to private
industry and individuals. He
said:
81 think the Speaker is abso-
lutely right. 1t is indefenSible
to give relief to particular inter
ests and ignore the great body
Of people"
McAdoo said the country'S
credit is sound and added he was
sure that "the Democrats would
use the credit of the country
through the Treasury, wisely"
He is flying back to California
to prepare for his own campaign
for the Senate. He declined to
discuss prohibition.
