A rebellion" stirred in the ranks
of the American Bankers Association

that some members threatened to re-
sign upon finding it impossible to
obtain tickets to Constitution Hall to
hear President Roosevelt's address
tonight, the demand having lorg since
exceeded the seating capacity of about
$500.
The problem was solved, however,
by making arrangements for an over
flow meeting in the adjoining Cont
mental Hall, to which the President S
remarks will be carried by a loud
speaker system.
President Roosevelt meanwhile side
tracked all afternoon engagements
and undertook final preparation of the
speech
Considerable pressure is being
brought to bear to have the speech
broadcast over the Nationwide radio
networks. Several weeks ago an

LABOR IS BIG FACTOR
IN WEST VIRGINIA RACE
Democrats in Five Districts Ap-

BY G. GOULD LINCOLN,

WHEELING. W. Va, october "a
Senate life begins at 20, the Consti-
tuition to the contrary notwithstand-
ing, if credence is to be given to
young Rush D. Holt, West Virginia S
Democratic senatorial candidate.
Holt is precocious. When ne was
Is years old and still wearing short
trousers, he finished his high school
course and presented himself for
matriculation at the University of
Cincinnati. But the college authori-
ties decided that he was too young
for college life and did not admit him
He went his way to the University of
West Virginia and was accepted, short
trousers and all
The fact that Holt is below the con-
stitutional age for admission to the
Senate-which is 30-and will not be-
come of constitutional age until June
1885, has added glamour and interest
to the Senate race here. Most of his
West Virginia supporters take it for
granted that the Senate will seat him,
and refer to the cases of Henry Clay
of Kentucky, Armistead T. Mason of
Virginia and John Henry Eaton of
Tennessee, all of whom in the past
occupied seats in the Senate before
they reached the constitutional age.
New Dealer, Plus.
Holt is spoken of as a brilliant
young radical" in some quarters.
About his hrilliance there is more or
less debate. But one thing seems
certain; he is no Henry Clay-at least
not yet. His reputation for radical
ism seems to come from the fact that
he led a fight in the West Virginia
Legislature against the public utilities
during the last two years, and that he
is an ardent New Dealer with some
added trimmings. He has a social re-
form program that runs on all fours
with much of the New Deal pro-
gram but goes bit further.
From all accounts he is a good
speaker but not an orator in the sense
that William Jennings Bryan was an
orator in his early days. He is lit
tie above medium height, slender,
with brown hair and brown eyes. He
is a somewhat serious enthusiast, and
the 1act that he wears spectacles
adds to this serious mein.
Holt Is the son of DR.. M. S. Holt
84-year old mayor of Weston. After
two years at the University of West
Virginia, young Holt transferred to
Salem College and finished his course
there. Since then he has taught in
high school and college. has helped
to manage a ocery store. coached a
couple of high school athletic teams
and worked as a newspaper reporter
His first attempt to win election to the
in 1923. was a failure
But two years later he was elected
he lived in Repub-
lican district. He was reelected.
Luck Aids Victory.
In considerable measure, Holt was
shot with luck when he entered the
race for the senatorial nomination. In
the first place, his opposition was seri-
ously divided in the primary between
four or five candidates, among them
former Senator Chiffon and Glen

FAMILIES REFUSE
L0W-PR|CE MILK
Embassy Dairy Reports 250
Homes Decline to Buy
at II Cents.

Commissioner Aliens plan for H.
cent milk for relief families ran into
an unexpected difficulty today as a
result of a canvass conducted by En-
bassy Dairy, which reported that out
of $50 homes visited. not a single
family would buy even quart.
officials of Embassy Dairy, the first
Washington distributor to offer to pro-
vide 11-cent milk for the city's poor
said that in over rs per cent of the
homes visited last night not a drop OF
milk is being consumed.
The canvass was made from list
Of relief clients living in Southeast
and Southwest Washington. furnished
by the Emergency Relief Division
Solicitors for the dairy were furnished
with books of tickets, each of which
was redeemable for one quart of milk
The tickets had been printed at the
dairy's expense.
Urges E. r. A. Purchases.
James j. Ward, secretary Of the
dairy company, said the only feasible
way to provide milk for the relief
families, in his opinion, would be
for the Emergency Relief Admins
tration to buy the tickets and dis
tribute them in lieu of cash.
Under such a plan" said Ward,
"the families on relief rolls would
have to buy milk The tickets would
not be good for anything else. In my
opinion, it is the only method by
which the consumption of milk can
be increased among these poor fam
lilies. which necessarily must need
this vital food product"
Commissioner Allen, meanwhile
conferred at 1890 pm. with repre-
sentatives of the Maryland and Vir-
ginia Milk Producers Association
over the possibility Of obtaining a
sufficient supply to provide the $4,000
relief families with milk at nine cents
quart.
Offers 20 Cents.
He said he wanted the producers
organization to sell milk for relief
purposes to the dairy companies at
20 cents a gallon. and threatened to
bring in outside milk unless his re-
quest was met The diaries would
pasteurize, bottle and distribute the
milk. under Aliens plan. for 4 cents
making the total cost to the relief
clients 9 cents quart.
Frank S. Walker, president Of the
cooperative, told Allen yesterday he
was willing to provide milk for "a
cents gallon, but to go below that
figure would be improbable to the
farmer inasmuch as the amount OF
relief milk which is sold would reduce
by that amount the farmers allot-
ments of basic or fluid milk, for which
he is paid the most money. Fluid milk
now brings the farmer about 90 cents
a gallon, while the surplus. from
which the relief milk would come, is
sold to the distributors at Is cents a
gallon.
