Powell Hits Widecan On
Anti-New Deal Speech

NEW YORK (C)-- A bit of
spice was added to the campaign
this week when Dr. c. B. Powell,
Democratic director of publicity,
took his first shot at the RepubH-
can camp by calling George Wibe-
can, Republican state leader, an
"old-timer' and said he made an
nunintelligents and uniformed at
tack on the New Deal in Brook
Ign last week when Mr.. Wlbecan
was reported saying the Democra-
tic party abandoned the colored
farmers of the South to the large
landowners, and that the Republic
cans would give more patronage
and with less discrimination than
the Democrats in the relief set-np.
DR.. Powell said Mr.. Wibecans
"age" is probably the reason why
he can't get the modern viewpoint,
and claims he is Surprised that
Wibecan got in power in the New
York Republicans set-up when a
young man like Francis Rivers was
named Eastern Chief, and the Re
pubIicans made a special effort to
get rid of the "old timers" at Cleve-
land. Dr. Powell also polnted out
that colored farmers were helped il.
the south through the Farm Credit
Administration, which appointed
colored man, Prof. H. A. Hunt, as
agent to travel throughout the
southern states to acquaint colored
farmers with the rules for obtain
ing Government credit. He also
charged that it was foolish to be-
lieve the Republicans would give
anything like the patronage in re-
lief work the Democrats have, and
that the Democrats have done more
under Roosevelt in this way than
the Republicans have done since
Reconstruction.
