Farley Draws Attack
The PWA and the WPA are "a
gigantic slush fund that is being
used to win the next election" Col.
Roosevelt charged in a bitter attack
upon James A. Farley, Postmaster
General and Democratic National
Committee chairman.
1T has been estimated that gov
eminent benefits in one way or an
other are going to over 22,000,000
people-more than half of those who
voted in 1882" Col. Roosevelt said.
He predicted that Mr.. Farley will
"out- Tammany Tammany" to win
the next election.
Demands that the Republican
party in Indiana be free from sus-
picion of "bosSism or factionalism
were made in resolutions passed
Saturday.
Irwin Raps Selfishness
Significantly, former Senator
James E. Watson, leader of the
conservative element within the
state party, was a guest at the Co.
lumbia Club Saturday afternoon but
did not attend the conference.
This is not the time for personal
ambition to dominate the success
of the issue, and there is no place
within this structure for any or
ganization or individual seeking per-
sonal or selfish ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, y
Don Irwin, Republican state chair
man, said.
You can never convince me that
we would have lost Indiana either
in 1882 and 1884 had we had active,
courageous leadership. I feel that
the time has come when we must
reorganize the Republican Party
from the ground up and let the
chips fall where they may" Benja-
min Wallace Douglass, Brown Coun-
ty G.. o. P. chairman and writer,
said.
