Postmaster General Farley stormed
the Middle West today, praising the
New Deal and its spending to the
echo of Republican charges that there
has been q "saturnalia of extrava-
gance"
On his way to the very camp of
Gov. ALI M. Landon of Kansas, widely
considered a potential contender for
the presidency, the Democratic ma
tional chairman mounted two Mis-
souri, platforms to declare that Pres
ident Roosevelt has rescued busi-
ness" and to assail his opponents.
In a speech prepared for delivery
before the Young Democrats at JEFF
ferson City, Farley declared 1.-The youth
of the Nation came to the front
when the forces of defeat, of inaction
and selfishness were battling against
u.s. in the campaign four years ago.
I'VE have travelled upward a great
way since March 4, 1885," he said.
Our adversaries cannot deny the
facts. They cannot escape the logic
of the black entries that have wiped
out the red entries of the Hoover
period"
Unusual Defense.
In st. Louis last night Farley told
Democratic rally that for the first
time within his memory IAN admin
istration has been called upon to de-
fend itself for restoring prosperity
and putting money in the pockets of
the people"
Jame- M. Beck, former Republican
solicitor general, drew a different pic
ture of the New Deal at a Washing
tons birthday celebration of the
Union League Club in Chicago.
The American citizen is taxed
from the cradle to the grave" Beck
declared. These taxes would be
heavy to the point OF confiscation
were not the largest amount of our
public expenditures raised by bor-
rowing against the future, thus load
ing down an innocent posterity with
intolerable burdens"
Beck declared there was mo greater
contrast between the age of Washing
ton and our own" than in the atti-
tudes toward taxation, which he de.
scribed as 'the most vital of all prob
lens He said that at present there
was "saturnalia of extravaganza.
Kansas Is Aroused.
AS Farley crossed the prairies to
Topeka, where Landon three weeks
ago described the administration as
"Wasteful and extravagant," the
Democratic organization of Kansas
reported increasing interest in the
party's drive to keep the State in the
Democratic fold.
-Four years ago Kansas voted for Mr.
Roosevelt-and also elected the Re-
publican Landon.
Robert S. Campbell, head of the
States Young Democratic Clubs, pre-
dicted a total paid membership of
10000 by November !, which he said
should be Sufficient to win the cleo
ton from President down"
Meanwhile, Senator Borah of Idaho
first of the Republicans to announce
candidacy for the presidency, de-
clared that no Republican now talked
OF as nomination possibility will be
asked by him to run as second choice
in the Ohio primary. The possibility
had been expressed that Landon would
be invited by Rorah's Ohio delegates
to do so. The State law requires a
second-choice listing.
Senator Capper, Republican, of
Kansas, Landon supporter, declared,
moreover, that he doubted "very much
If the Kansas Governor would permit
his name to be so listed" but added
the situation may change from day
to day"
McAdoo Wins Victory.
On the California political front
there was a difference of opinion in
the E. P. I, c. leadership over the
States delegation to the Democratic
National Convention as selected by
Mr.. Roosevelt yesterday.
Senator McAdoo. State Democratic
leader. won majority victory in the
struggle for delegation control. Only
II Of the 4s delegates had been in
dorsed by the End Poverty in Califor-
mia Leaguers. E. P. l. c. bitterly op-
poses McAdoo's leadership.
In the capital Representative Scott,
Democrat. of California. the E. P. /. c.
spokesman, said he would support the
slate because the President asked me
to-"
Olson, State chairman and leader of
the E. P. I. c. forces, described the
delegation as very unsatisfactory"
