FLETCHER PREP Ares
TO BLOW Lid Off
Of 6. O.P. CAMP Align
New National Chairman Ready
for Work; Subscribes to
Policy Statement

Chicago, June 7-R)-The new M.
tional chairman Of the Republican
party hurried into town Thursday
greeted q grinning executive commit.
tee, rolled up his sleeves and blew the
lid off" the 1894 campaign.
Henry p. Fletcher. newly chosen
chief Of staff, had for his immediate
attention amplification Of the state
ment Of principles" issued Wednesday
by the national committee. He told
the committeeman who informed him
Of his election that he heartily sub
scribed to the statement and said Il
am ready to 60 to work at once"
Fletcher, one time Roosevelt rough
rider, former ambassador to Italy and
q close personal friend Of Herbert
Hoover, was the unanimous choice Of
the Republican national committee ia
direct the campaign against Franklin
D. Roosevelt administration and the
new DEAL
The open session Of the COMMITTEES
at which Fletcher will make his first
Official appearance Is expected to Be
q forum for more detailed and far
reaching criticism Of the incumbent
administration than was contained in
the original statement Of principles
adopted shortly before Fletcher's cleo
ito to the post Of national chairman
resigned by Everett Sanders, former
Indiana congressman.
Two Factors Govern
Political strategists pointed out that
two factors probably governed the tone
OF the statement: First, that it Is
the function Of the national conven-
ton, not the national committee. to
write the party platform on specific
issues: second, that denunciation Of
specific acts OF the Roosevelt admins
tation would embarrass many Repub-
lican congressman seeking reelection
this fall, who on plea Of national
emergency, voted for many such
measures.
west, locale Of great detection from
ranks in 1892. leaders said
are still dissatisfied. Drouth has
burned their crops, prices for farm
products are low and money needed
for improvements and = thousand
daily needs Is tight"
Laboring men, they said, are show
ing discomfort by widespread strikes
and capital Is displaying little opti-
mism as evidenced by the fact that
banks are OVERLOOKING with deposits,
with little money for investment or
loan.
It IS on . combination Of these con.
ditions that the Republicans say they
base efforts to win anew the favor Of
the ballot-casting public by condemn
ing some sections Of the new deal and
BY proposing certain remedies Of their
own for relief.
Western Republicans generally ex-
pressed themselves g pleased with the
platform Of the party and Joseph p.
scanlon. Montana national commit
teeman, seemed to speak for many
others when he said this Is the time
b, get the real issues before the pub
lic."

we expect to show BY witnesses Ia

August or September, 1888. Mr.. Ewing
came back here then. He was here
about August IS, and when he came
here the question Of Kinxer came up
for discussion between Ewing and the
committee, and ct the same time
Ewing came to Governor LANCER and
complained about the manner In
which the secretary was carrying on
the work Of the relief administration.
AT that time It was communicated
to LANCER that the solicitations had
been made and that Immediately Gov.

Stangler and Lee Nichols, who were
members Of the committee, and said

Importance of Federal relief to
strikers was minimized in a spe-
cial appendix to a general report
on relief of destitution, issued by
Donald R. Richberg, secretary of
the Administrations executive
council.
Mr.. Richberg said:
81. The amount of Federal
relief payments which can be
attributed to strikes has been
almost negligible.
"2. The number of workers in
vOlved in strikes during the last
year has been a very small per-
centage of the total number of
employed workers; and has been
a smaller percentage than in
previous comparable periods.
The total man-hOurS lost as q
result of strikes has been like
wise small; that is, strikes have
been of exceptionally short
duration"
In the general report Mr.. Rich,
berg predicted that 100000
American families, involving more
than 100000 persons, are likely
to be on Federal relief rolls this
winter. Mr.. Richberg said this
figure was the estimate made by
ederal Relief Administrator
Harry L. Hopkins.
Mr.. Richberg's report disclosed
that since January, 1888, the Ad-
ministration has spent 1888, $685.
566 to relieve hunger and destitu.
ton throughout the nation. More
than 100000 persons were on
relief rolls during the months of
April, May and June of this
year.

LONG MYSTERY
WOMAN TALKS
BY ROBERT G. NIXON

DJ 4bOOAAOA We 4NA&AOAN
NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. 3
G.N.S0 The mysterious woman
witness in the Huey Long legiSia-
tive probe of the city government,
today had blown the lid off Sat-
urday's star chamber radio ses-
sion with sensational charges that
she was made drunk by another
witness and testified while her
mind was a blank that she was
forced to pay police ST a head
daily for girls in her establish
ment.
The woman, Marie MenendeZ,
80, who told police she was a res
taurant proprietress, faces trial to-
night at the midnight session OF
Recorders court on charges of ac-
costing men.
In a written statement accred-
tied to her by superintendent OF
Police George Reyer, she made a
blanket denial of testimony she
muttered into a microphone in
halting. stumbling syllables under
the pointed questioning of Huey
Long, chief inquisitor.
She charged that Bob Faust, a
witness who followed her to the
microphone in the quarters of the
Louisiana Insurance Commission
18 floors up in the Canal Bank
building, where the committee is
conducting it's closed hearing be-
hind the riot guns of state militia
men, got her drunk and took her
to "a big building"
Long Admits Identity
The "Kingfish" went on the air
again last night and delivered an
hour-long blast against his New
Orleans political enemies.
The Senator admitted that the
woman police arrested and from
whom they obtained the sensa.
tional statement was the same
witness who testified in Satur.
days proceedings.

CHICAGO, Sept. 3 Q.N.SO.
Upton Sinclair, erstwhile Social
ist nominated for Governor on
the Democratic ticket in Califor-
mia, sped eastward today for a
conference with President Roose-
welt, following an address here IN
which he outlined the goal OF his
epic plan for a square deal"
Principal speaker at the open
ing of the two-day labor celebra-
ton at A Century of Progress, Mr..
sinclair demanded "fair chance
for the laborer and the farmer"
While praising the New Deal,
the Socialist pamphleteer criti-
cized the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration and the
public Works Administration as
two elements of the New Deal
that has misfired. He said:
"Any Limitation of food while
millions are facing starvation is
fundamentally wrong. 1t Is not
OverprOductiOn We are suffer-
ing from but undercOnsump-
ton"
Speaking of the PWA, he
added:
"It did not put people to
work in the right way, at least
in California. Their work was
not productive" ..
Mr.. Sinclair expressed conf
dence in the outcome of the NO
vember election in California
which he said will give us con,
troll of the lower House but not
the Senate"
Mr.. Sinclair described his
scheduled interview with PreSl-
dent Roosevelt as merely a
Courtesy CALL" ,
Today one of the principal
speakers on the Labor Day pro-
gram will be Mayor Fiorello H.
La Guardia, of New York city.
