will send kilograms to the convention
or issue statements-th detectives and
connections of people of this kind are
by this time thoroughly well known

The five Democrats signing the
statement have been of great party
prominence in the past. Smith was
not only Governor Of New York but
also O presidential nominee in 1928;
Reed was for years Senator from
Missouri Ely was Governor of Massa-
chusetts: Colby was Secretary of State
in the Wilson administration and
Cohalan has been a power in Tam
many Hall in the past and is former
Justice of the New York Supreme
Court.
The Smith statement contained
some bitter words for the New Dealers
and the supporters Of Roosevelt to
stomach. 1t said that If the delegates
did not act as the former heroes of
the Democratic party - Jefferson,
Jackson and Cleveland-would have
acted you should put aside the
name of the party and adopt a new
name which will properly reflect the

advocated in the so-called New Deal

official hostess" for the Democratic
National Committee. She had been
drafted.
What does a hostess do at con-
vention?" she was asked by one of
the young woman reporters at her first
press conference TO make every one
comfortable and happy. suppose-to
co-ordinate-be the goat, suppose"
was her answer.
She is very bright and keen, with
ready answer, quite politically minded
and with good political experience.
She admitted she had been attending
national conventions since 1912. when
woodrow Wilson was nominated.
Race Stands in Memories.
What was the most exciting mo-
ment in all your experiences at ma
tional conventions" another inquisi-
tive woman scribe suggested. Mrs.
Harriman's eyes grew retrospectively
excited, she sat up with more eager
pose. when we were picking off
votes for Wilson in 1912-it was like
a boat race-when first realized he
was going to win"
Mrs. Hartman expressed great graf
iflcation at the strong representation
of women-unprecented the con-
vention.
The Democratic party deserves
that because of the recognition it has
given women" she said. Our party
has done great deal for women--and
our politically minded women must do
their fair share for the party"
She expressed the opinion that
women are coming to the fore in the
Democratic party because they have
been putting their minds to it-they
are now doing hard work in politics.

the human problems of the American
people-fitting the two together.
They are studying economics" she
pointed out, land realize that they can
help make good government for their
neighbors, and especially for women
and children"
Visits Mrs. Longworth.
One of her earliest social engage
ments yesterday was with Mrs. Alice
Roosevelt Longworth. When she was
asked how she and Alice got along
since they are so divergent in politics
Mrs. Longworth q stanch Republic
an and Mrs. Hartman an equally ar
ticulate Democrat she answered:
why, we talk politics as well as any
thing else-but we don't fight or quar-
rel. Why, my own husband was q
Republican and I was Democrat
we never gave in to each other. but We
talked politics, plenty"

Smith, Jim" Reed Of Missouri, Joe
Ely of Massachusetts, and cambridge
Colby and Daniel F. Cohalan of New
York.
The attack from the right received
only .scorn from the Roosevelt leaders.
They turned a deaf ear to the state
ment issued by Smith and company.
All of which added to the belief
that the Roosevelt leaders are
planning to placate as far as possible
the radicals. They have been careful
not to utter bitter words about the
leaders of the new third party. What
they hope to do, apparently, is to give
the leftists reason to believe that they
can win more by supporting Roosevelt
than they can by supporting Lemke
in the coming presidential race.
Farley Makes Answer.
Chairman Farley led off in the
counter attack upon the Smith state
ment. The Smith statement, after
urging the delegates to Subordinate
partisanship to patriotism" and turn
their backs on the New Deal, con-
tinued:
These are hard tasks even for men
who are worthy Of succession to the
leadership Of the Democratic party.
They would necessarily involve the
putting aside Of Franklin d. Roosevelt
and the substitution Of some genuine
Democrat-of whom you will have
many on your list of delegates"
Farley's immediate answer was:
I'VE are going to nominate genu-
inc Democrat-Franklin D. Roosevelt" "
He followed this up with written
statement:

Why 1 was just having the incest

I said to Alice-it made me feel SO
much younger-it took me back-I
thought they were talking about your
father-for that was exactly the same
way that the Wall Street interests
talked about Col. Roosevelt"
Reception for Mrs. Wilson.
Mrs. Hartman is busy socially at
the convention. One of her first Of
fetal duties as hostess was, at the
roof garden reception for Mrs. Wood
row Wilson, widow of the wartime
President. in whose campaign and
administration Mrs. Hartman had
taken so great an interest and active
part. Another of her early guests
was Mrs. Norman Mack. widow Of the
former National Committee chair
man from New York.
She arranged for seat on the plat
form at the convention for the Do
wager Marchioness, widow of Lord
Reading, who was Ambassador from
Great Britain during the World War.
Lady Reading is the guest of Mrs.
Edward T. Stotesbury Of Philadelphia
and is here for the convention, as
Mrs. Hartman expresses it. because
she is interested in the whole Ameri-
can picture-She is also on the Immi-
grafton Commission to meet in
Canada. 1 think it quite proper that
such distinguished foreign visitors
should be given special consideration
at such affairs as this convention"
1t IS largely because Of her fame as
"a hostess, entertaining distinguished
statesmen, diplomats. princes and
generals" in the Nations Capital
that she was chosen for "official
hostess" at this convention. Still an

lieves that Roosevelt will win and
that I'VE must work If We want to

wouldn't be any fun in it."
Sees Lack Of Gratitude.
Here is her most serious statement,
apparently spoken from the heart:
mo matter what any one may think
about the present Observation-Disclosures
President has done a great Job. No
other man, from every point Of view,
could have lifted this country out Of
shall We say the slough of despond-
or better out of the morass, out of its
misery. Why don't we have more
gratitude?"
With Mrs. Hartman, Mrs. Earle
wife of Pennsylvania's Governor, and
Mrs. Emma Guffey Miller, leading the
social activities, there will be plenty
of opportunity for the women dele
gates from all over the country to wear
their glad rags" at swank receptions
and teas and garden parties during
this week.

PHILADELPHIA. June 22-The
following statement was issued by
James A. Reed, Joseph B. Ely and
Daniel F. Cohalan to delegates of the
National Democratic Convention:
AS men who believe in the princi-
pals, teachings and traditions of the
Democratic party as they were persona
fed by Thomas Jefferson. Andrew
Jackson and Grover Cleveland. We
urge you. who meet in the name of
the party made glorious in the minds
Of patriotic Americans by the records
Of those men, to emulate their ex-
amples and do in the present grave
crisis, confronting our country, what
those great leaders would have done
under such conditions.
We suggest to you, as all Of these
men were conspicuous for courage
and character, that they would sub
ordinate partisanship to patriotism:
look with an eye single to the welfare
of the country and its citizens; act in
the manner best calculated to pre-
serve the institutions under which We
became the first Nation of the world
and gave to our citizens a measure
of comfort and a standard Of living
wages incomparably higher than those
enjoyed in any other land.
BE Americans First"
We submit therefore that-if you
are to continue to act under the name
of the Democratic party-you must
first, be American rather than any
thing else; you must take the heavy
hand Of Government of of business,
to the end that the 10 or IL millions
Of unemployed may again join the
ranks Of workers employed in the
factories, industries and on the farms
Of the country; you must putin power
men under American policies of
Government who will balance our
budget and put an end to the series
of dif1cits measured in billions, which
the present administration has given
to us; you must have q Government
which will make and enforce laws that
will keep the American markets for
the American industries and farms
and not have them swamped by the
goods and products Of nations that
are our industrial and farming rivals
and competitors. In chasing the
shadow of foreign markets We must
not throw away the substance Of the
greatest market in the world-the
domestic market of the United States
of America. You must put an end to
the orgy Of spending our public funds
and the creating of millions of sddi-
tional tax eaters who are breaking
the backs Of the honest ma jority Of
our country men and women. who
still toll and save as did their parents
before them. You must do away with
conditions under which 10000, 900
of Americans are on the dole, with
nothing to hope for under present
rulers except q continuance Of that
condition of semi-servility.
Avoid Dictatorship.
You must preserve the Constitution
and under 1t the three separate. dis
tinct and independent branches of
Government To that. end you must
