IF I were to make an individual
guess I would say that leadership
Of this type will crumble. That
guess is predicated upon the record
of the past because heretofore it
has been true that business always
suffered defectionS and presently
there was bushwacking in its own
camp Regardless of whether that
condition develops again, the ex-
plosive character Of the speeches
in the chambers convention have
added a momentum to Roosevelt
opposition which it has lacked here
| tofore. 1t is just possible, therefore,
that even if business leadership
fails in its efforts to curb radical
tendencies among the adn1inistra-
| ton group, a well-knit opposition
may now be developing.
| Pursuing this assumption furth-
err, one hears suggestions around
| genuine and basic issue for the
1886 campaign may be in the max

i welt will be forced into the position
/ again of appealing to the forgotten
man of his 1882 campaign who has
since been forgotten. The conserva-
/ tive thought of the country mean
while will marshal behind the home
owners, the poSSeSSorS of property
and capital and the workers whose
income must be taxed heavily in
subsequent years to pay for the pro-
gram of spending our way out OF
the depression.

DRY of probable issues in 1886 in the
recent statement Of Postmaster
General Farley, who spoke politic-

national committee. In almost so
many words, Mr.. Farley declared
that the business interests had not
been favorable to Mr.. Roosevelt;
that they were not now favorable to
him and that there was no reason
to expect the support Of business
hereafter. Mr.. Farley, clever poll
tician that he is, recognizes that UNI

more votes on the side of the man

Hole Law Held Void
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The
United States Supreme Court today
held that Federal legislation per-
hitting state-chartered building and
loan associations to take out Federal
charters as part of the Federal
Home Loan Bank system in the face
of disapproval by state authorities
was unconstitutional.
The case arose in Wisconsin
where suits were brought chal-
longing the right of three building
and loan associations to take out
Federal charters. Their move was
protested by the State Banking
Commission, which held they were
state units subject to state control
The decision was considered of
widespread import although its
immediate application was not con-
Sidered serious.
The law was passed as an amend
ment to the Hole Act of 1888 and
since that date, 38 states have
passed legislation permitting local
organizations to make the change.
The decision, written by the lib
eral Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo,
went unusually far in holding the
provision invalid. The decision was
unanimous.

SLIGHT HOPE

Nine Justices Refuse to
InterCede in Famed
Murder Case.
TURN DOWN WRIT MOVE
Hauptmann, Waiting in Cell,
Not Yet Told of
Decision.
By I Hitcd Press

WASHINGTON, Dec. g.
The United States Supreme
Court today denied the plea
of Bruno Richard Hauptmann
that it intervene in his fight
to escape death in the electric
chair for the kidnapping and
murder of Charles A. Lind
bergh Jr.
The court, without uttering
single word from the high bar of
justice. blasted the German car
penters plea for a review of the
Pennington IN. j. trial which
brought his conviction and death
sentence The denial was in a type
written list of cases on which the
court acted.
The action ended Hauptmann's
last substantial hope of averting by
legal maneuvers the execution or
dered by the Pennington court.
New Evidence Only Hope
Unless Hauptmann's attorneys can
obtain a writ of habeas corpus by
convincing the courts that new and
important evidence IN the case has
been uncovered, only the New Jer-
sey Board of PardonS can save him
from the electric chair.
No word of the Supreme Courts
answer to Hauptmanns plea broke
the placid solemnity of the crowded
marble and gilt courtroom.
Thr2ngs of spectators attracted 10

in the HooSac Mills test of the AAA

that the decision had been rem
dered
Only a slight hustle of newspaper
men at their desks below the bar
where the nine dignified justices sat
indicated anything unusual
Word of the Hauptmann ruling
came to them on a white sheet of
flimsy paper bearing the courts or

opinions of the day had been read,

uted them silently 70 the newspaper

President Defends Pact
in Address to Farm
Bureau.

By Unitcd Press
CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-High-
lights from the address of
President Roosevelt before
the American Farm Bureau
Federation convention:
When the many cells of our eco
nomic life were dying for lack of
the blood of purchasing power, it
took time, after fear had begun TO
subside, for new, vital purchasing
power to be diffused once more. But
that life is coming back-buoyant
happy life-we need no evidence be-
You'd what we see and hear. around
us.
One of the greatest curses of
American life has been specula-
ton. The kind of speculation /
am talking about is the involun-
tary speculation of the farmer
when he puts his crops into the
ground.
We sought to stop the rule of tooth
and claw that threw farmers into
bankruptcy or turned them virtual
ly into serfs, forced them to let their
buildings, fences and machinery de-
teriorate, made them rob their soil
of its God-given Fertility, deprive
their sons and daughters of a de-
cent opportunity on the farm. To
those days, I trusts the organized
power the nation has put an end
forever.
Forty-eight separate sovereign
states, acting each one as a separate
unit, never were able and never will
be able to legislate or to administer
individual laws adequately to bal
ance the agricultural life of a ma
ton so greatly dependent on ma
tionally grown crops of many kinds.
Bargain prices for food in 1882
were little consolation to people in
cities with no income whatsoever.
Tt is difficult to explain why in
many cases if the farmer gets an
increase for his food crop over what
he got three years ago, the consum-
er in the city has to pay two and
three and four times the amount of
that increase.
Lifting prices on the farm up to
the level where the farmer and his
family can live is opposed chiefly
by the few who profited heavily
from the depression. It is they and
their henchmen who are doing their
best TO foment city people against
the farmers and the farm program
1t is that type of political profiteer
who seeks to discredit the vote in
favor of continued corn-hog pro-
gram by comparing your desire for a
fair price for the farmer to the ap-
petite of hogs for corn.
II
I believe these city people resent
the attempts of personal advantage
seekers and profiteers to heap ridi-
Guile upon the recovery efforts that
all of us are making.
Agriculture, far from being
crucified by this agreement (the
Canadian trade treaty., actually
gains from it.
