MRS. L0NCWORTH AND
DOLLY GAM STAGE
CONVENTION BATTLE
Echoes Of Social Precedent
Fight Heard in Vice.
Presidential Contest

Chicago, June 15-tPi-One thing
was clear through ali the fogginess of
the vice presidential situation We'd
nesday: something will be- heard from
stalwart Dolly Gam should anything
happen to her brother, Charles Cur
It's.
However. potent may be princess
Alice Longworth's reported maneu-
vering in the down-with-C Curtis
movement, it doesn't take thauma-
turgist to tell how Dolly likes 1t.
Nor to see that the very presence of
the social-precedence opponent of
the vice presidential hostess hasn't
slowed the tempo of Mrs. Cams
campaigning.
Arriving, she tossed off suggestions
of a successor for her brother with
single fighting gesture. Wednes-
Gay Mrs. Gam was ceaselessly con-
ferring with the leaders-and Tues
day she held levee for women del
egates and committeewomen and put
to many of them the blunt question,
"How's yours?" meaning state del
egation.
This little matter was the leading
feminine bid for attention as the
rank and file went to the second con-
vention days doings.
Women went before the resolutions
committee far into the early hours to
press many causes, it's true. A wom-
an, DR.. Martha Robert de Romeu of
Porto Rico, sat on that committee
for the first time in history-sat as
a militant feminist and q convinced
resubmissionist.
But how could these compare with
the Gann-L ongworth matter.
Alice Prepares Skids
The story going the convention
rounds Is that Teddy Roosevelt S
daughter suggested skids for the In
dian vice president-and incidentally
wouldn't object to seeing her own
brother, Teddy, Jr., on the national
ticket.
There was nothing on the surface
to confirm this but there were specu-
lative glances turned toward Mrs
Longworth as she paused to talk with
Secretary Hurley, Secretary and Mrs
Mills, and many others Of her many
influential friends.
There's no confusion about Mrs
Cams purposes, however. She re-
counted the ardors of her recent
campaign for Herbert Hoover before
a women'9 meeting and, with the

With new show of confidence, the
Hoover helnsmen had steered the

of Commute demonstration for the

He asserted that outside the Repub-

adding 1.-The only sound and united

Says Democrats Weak
In support of charges that the
Democratic party is fatally weak"
because it is utterly lacking in team
work." Smell referred to the house of
representatives of which he is minor

Placed in control there, he said,
the opposition did well enough as long
as it followed the president but once
they "set out to carry forward their
own program they exhibited colossal
incapacity, hopeless division and dis
indignation with the result that there
was complete collapse Of their
party machinery"
THE Democratic party is mob of
feud and factions" he continued.

in its own ranks. How can it be ex-
pected to maintain order in govern

Then followed: IF this country is
to be governed with judgment and
prudence. the Republican party must
do the job"
Praise of party policies, accompan-
led by the claim that the Smoot- Haw-
ley tariff has been "the bulwark Of
defense against worldwide depres-
sion" was mingled with tributes to the
chief executive.
The enemy was described as the
"ghastly pesti!ence of world wide de-
preston" and Hoover was termed well
prepared for the task of combating
it.
Record as He Sees It
"You know the record" Smell said.
"You know the battles he has already
won.
"He solidified labor and capital
against the enemy.
HE avoided the deadly pit of the
dole.
HE rescued the drought victims.
"fIe beat off the attacks upon rail-
roads. agriculture, banks and public
securities.
HE modified the nations finan-

HE warded off the stealthy ap-

HE preserved the integrity Of the
gold standard.
HE had the manhood and courage
to tell the people that their govern
ment's revenues were depleted and
must be replenished.
HE fought and won the battle Of
the budget, by resolutely looping of
extravaganza and by instituting severe
economies"

Nine Rebuked for
Failing to Applaud

Chicago, June l5.-(P)-A re-
sounding rebuke to nine La Fol-
lette members Of the Wisconsin
delegation and settlement of four
vigorously debated southern con-
tests ended the work early We'd
nesday Of the credentials commit
tee of the Republican national
committee.
The charge against the La Fol-
lette faction was that the nine
committed a form of party trea-
son by keeping their seats on the
convention floor at the mention of
President Hoover's name and also
during a parade of flags.
Sixteen conservative members

Strotz said the amount is the
balance due for construction work.
I've got to have my money" he
said. 1T must be paid tonight or
the Republicans won't have any

Convention officials seemed un-
