to Join any Republicans or Democrats
IN the formation of this mythical bloc,
and I would not confer with them
about such a thing. Most certainly I
would not join in any movement to
ohstruct or embarrass President Roose-
yelt in his efforts to end the deplorable
conditions which resulted from II
years of Republican misrule.
1T is absurd for Republican poll
ticians to attempt to capitalize the
few instances in which I found my
self unable to support the administra-
ton by linking my name with an
anti-administration cabal."
Senator Gore said:
st am like viii Rogers about this
movement. All I know about It Is
what read in the newspapers.
have not been approached and do not
expect to be approached about 1t.
Moreover, I wish the Republican
newspapers would stop taking hber-
ties with my name merely because
did not vote for some Of the measures
that had the support OF the admins
tration. I most certainly do not in
tend to join in any Republican, llon-
partisan or bipartisan movement OF
obstruction"
Confidence In President.
Senator Tydings has expressed
complete confidence in President
Roosevelt and the feeling that the
voters would elect a Democratic Con-
gress "to support President Roosevelt
as the surest means of continuing our
progress out of the depression He
said:
"I did not subscribe any more than
many Americans did to the wisdom
of each and every proposal which
has been promulgated during Mr..
Roosevelt's tenure as President. He
frankly confessed that some of them
were experiments and after trial
might be found wanting and If so
would then be abandoned. Some of
those measures I have not supported
for one reason or another, but IN
the main who is there who in fair
ness will say that the Roosevelt ad-
miniStration policies as whole have
not generally been good and helpful
and who is there who will say that
conditions in 1894 are not better for
the people who compose this republic
than they were in July, 1882"
Senator Bailey, in a review Of the
recovery program, said:
THE Presidents course was like
that of a great physician and sur
geon with a desperately i'll patient.
He had the best bedside manner. op-
timistic, even gay, courageous to the
point of adventure in desperate
chances, kit filled with medicine and
stimulants, and a full equipment of
knives and sponges. He has applied
remedies as indications called, and
after 18 months his patient is feel
ing much better and has no end of
confidence in and admiration for the
doctor.
Probably the present diagnosis is
that all will be well if the patient
will cooperate with the physician
who did so much for him when he
could do nothing for himself.
when men ask, will the recovery
be maintained and advanced probably
the best answer is, yes, if the Amer
ican people will do their part. What
they do is of the utmost Importance
now"
Many Favor Organization.
At the Office of Jouett Shouse, who
Is to be the president of the new
league, it was said today that tele-
grams and letters continue to pour
in favoring the organization of the
Liberty League. Mr.. Shouse himself
has left Washington for a vacation
until after Labor day When he re-
turns, it is expected that the effort
to organize the league in all parts
Of the country will proceed with
diligence.
In the light Of the statements by
Senators Glass and other Democratic |
members of Congress, it does not seem |
probable that attempts will be made !
to recruit members of the league in |
that direction. The only congress |
sional member to date listed is Rep |
resentative James w. Wadsworth of |
New York, Republican member of |
the Executive Committee. After all,
the league, as outlined by Mr. Shouse.
is intended to be an outside influence |
on Congress rather than to include
members of Congress IL its member
ship.
Mr.. Shouse win go to New York
Tuesday for a meeting of the Execu-
tive Committee of the league, it is
expected The membership of the
committee includes former Gov. Mil
Ter Of New York and Irenee du Pont.
as well as Mr.. Smith, Mr.. Davis and
Representative Wadsworth.
