Disgruntled House Democrats
today renewed their drive to oust
Republicans from key positions in
the Administration.
Dissatisfied with the number Of
jobs dispensed to their constitu'
ents, members of the majority
party will air their grievances in a
special caucus tonight with a view
toward concerted action.
This is the first time that The
subject of patronage has reused
the entire Democratic member
ship to consider protesting as a
body. During past sessions COM
plants against the AdminiStra-
tion's method of rewarding loyal
Democrats have been voiced oy
individual members.
Spoils Demanded
The caucus is being held at
the instigation of Representatives
McFarlane of Texas, and Mitchell
of Tennessee, who publicly have
advocated the Jacksonian doc
trine, ito the victor belongs the
spoils."
Representative McFarlane an.
nounced he would present a reso-
luton to the caucus demanding
sweeping investigation of the
methods employed by Govern
ment heads in placing workers
on the Federal pay roll. He said:
This Investigation is designed
to show how many Republicans
are being placed in jobs under
the AAA, the FHA, FERA, the
PWA and all the other alpha
bet organizations"
The findings of the investiga.
tors would be placed before Presi.
dent Roosevelt and Postmaster
General Farley.
Farley Not Blamed
Representative McFarlane de-
MED the caucus was called to
'embarrass" the Postmaster Gen
eral. He said:
"It is not his fault that

Republicans are placed into
jobs. The trouble is that
many officials in key positions,
some of them hOIdOvers from
the Hoover administration, are
refusing to hire Democratic
workers"
Representative Mitchell charged
Democrats were not obtaining
"an even break" in the matter oi
patronage. He said:
"The Administration has
placed as many Republicans in
Federal positions as Democrats.
This Is hardly fair to US. There
are more Republicans now in
Government jobs than there
are Democrats"

Welfare Board Reports
Pessimistically On Relief

Contrary to the previous report that
work relief projects will reopen June
1st, the Welfare Board reports that
there can be no definite time named
for the reopening of work relief and
some projects may be permanently
discontinued.
"This is due to the continued un-
certainty in regard to the amount of
funds available and no definite plans
can be made in regard to the work
relief program until there is further
assurance as to funds.
ut is hoped that this curtailment
Of work relief will be beneficial in
that people who were receiving work
relief now will have more time to look
for private employment. Many have
secured private jobs and it is expected
that stilrmore will find work with the
increased amount of employment"

vote.
The board OF directors of the Mont
gomery County Wheat Production
Control Association and the district
committees will act as judges at the
polls.
In discussing the wheat situation,
at a series of twelve meetings, ]. w.
Jones, President of the Montgomery
County Farm Bureau, and o. w.
Anderson, County Agent, have ex-
planned to the farmers the reason
why the income from the 1884 wheat
crop was Three Hundred and Ninety
Million Dollars as compared to a
larger crop in 1882 which only
brought total of One Hundred and
Ninety-ive Million Dollars. Through
the Adjustment Program, augmented
by the drought surplus, the crop
has been brought to normal, and
prices have risen materially. Now 1t
is up to the farmers by vote to
tell the Government whether or not
they wish to prohibit the accumu-
lation OF another price destroying
surplus by controlling production or
whether they would prefer to open
the gate and take their chances on
both production and price. Farmers
are also being reminded that without
the adjustment payments, wheat
prices are approximately three
fourths Of parity; due primarily to
the excessive stocks Of wheat being
carried in producing countries which
have no adjustment program"
Those unable to 60 to the polls
may vote by mail. Ballots should
be mailed to the county agent at the
Rockville Courthouse.
