PHILADELPHIA, June 23.-Gov.
Eugene Talmadge of Georgia, for
many months a political gadfiy to
the New Deal, today was on the way
out Of the party's national councils
/ and Georgia friend Of President
Roosevelt was on the way in.
The post of national committeeman
held by Talmadge was transferred by
the Georgia delegation to Clark How
ell, ST., editor and president Of the At
lanta Constitution, subject to ratifica-
ton by the national convention.
Not until the end of the present con-
vention does the title change hands,
and technically Talmadge would be
permitted to participate this week in
the councils of the national COM
mittee, where each State Is repre-
sented.
But Talmadge did not come to the
convention, sending Carlton Mobley,
his executive secretary. to represent
him at the Governors dinner given as
part of the convention program.
Before the delegation left for the
convention the Georgia Governor Of
fered to come to Philadelphia if he
could be "of service" to his party or to
the country. Earlier he had pledged
support to the nominees of the con-
vention and Endorsed the platform in
advance, asserting that his fight on
the administration would be conducted
within the party.
The fight he launched against the
administration developed last Fall
into a convention of southern New
Deal dissenters in which Talmadge

supporters as Byrnes Of South Caro-
lima, Wheeler Of Montana, Thomas of
Oklahoma, Murphy of Iowa, O'Ma-
honey Of Wyoming, Black of Alabama
and Pope Of Idaho as well as Wagner.
Other Senators on the committee
included George of Georgia and
Bailey Of North Carolina, who have
been more critically inclined.
All the platform talk among arriv-
ing delegates here indicated that the
chief pressure on the platform makers
would be from the left"
The Utah delegation was meeting in
caucus to discuss silver plank. A. S.
Brown, national committeeman-e -elect,
said he had assurance from party lead
ers the West would be literally treated
in regard to the white metal.
Senator Thomas said he would offer

land Of Oklahoma, declaring it the
duty Of the Government" to provide
employment at fair wages In useful
public work to all able bodied men
who are not needed In productive oc-
cupations."

to discard Roosevelt and nominate q
genuine" Democrat. In that state
ment, Smith clearly indicated that
if Roosevelt was renominated, he and
other Democrats who felt as he did
would support the Republican ticket.
The Smith statement will not be
read to the convention. That abso-
lutely will not happen, according to
Chairman Farley. 1t is likely, how
ever, that the speakers at the con-
vention will make reply to Smith and
his followers.
South to Split on Rule.
The machinery of the convention
lies wholly within the grasp of the ad-
minlstration leaders. They have de-
creed the abolition of the two-thirds
rule for nominating presidential and
vice presidential candidates. Some of
the Southern delegates-though not
all-will vote against the retirement
of the rule which has held since the
days of Andrew Jackson, who was re-
sponsible for its adoption. Senator
Bennett Clark of Missouri, has
been picked to be chairman of the
Rules Committee, which will bring in
report proposing the adoption of
the rules of the last convention with
certain changes. the principal being
the adoption of majority rule in
place of the two-thirds.
As the convention met today, there
was smouldering fire in the Mime
sofa delegation. The Democratic Ma
tional Committee, after the contesting
delegations, representing the Wolf fac
tiou and the Moonam faction had been
heard, yesterday ordained that both
delegations should be seated with half
vote each. This was not resisted by
the Wolf faction, which represents the
original Roosevelt for President group
in Minnesota. The Moonam faction,
however, was inclined to be bitter. Some
of them have been Smith Democrats
in the past, although ready to vote now
for the denomination Of Roosevelt.
They planned today to take their con-
test against the Wolf slate of dele
gates to the Committee on Credentials

May Affect States Vote.
Unless these Moolam delegates cool
off, the row among the Democrats in
Minnesota may have i'll effects for the
party in that State next Fall.
Generally speaking, however, the
rough spots in this convention have
been ironed out-some of them by the
simple process of running the New
Deal roller over them. Former Gov.
Ely Of Massachusetts, who joined with
Smith in signing the statement to the
delegates attacking Roosevelt. did not
come to the convention. He Is ma

Chairman Farley. However, the guest

delegation. were turned over, not to
the national committeeman's proxy,
but to Gov. Curley. an original Roose-
welt man in 1882.
Only simon pure Roosevelt Demo-
Gratis are to have places on the Ma
tional Committee, it appears. Gov.
Eugene Talmadge of Georgia, who has
been a constant critic of the New Deal,
was displaced as member of the
committee last night. c. L. Shipping,
who was national committeeman for
North Carolina and has not been in
harmony with the Roosevelt admins
tration, is to be supplanted by A. D.
Folger, q Roosevelt man. And so 1t
goes.
From the Michigan delegation
arose a report that Frank Murphy,
United States high commissioner in
the Philippines, would resign that
office and return to run for Governor
of Michigan on the Democratic ticket.
Connected with this report was a
rumor that Attorney General Homer
Cummings would retire from the cabi-
net and have the post in the Philip
| pines. Cummings was slated for Gov
ernor General of the islands when
Roosevelt was about to be inaugurated

cannot stampede an elephant securely

ding and evasion"
Farley made light of the Republi-
can vice presidential nominee, Col.
Frank Knox, saying, Even when it
came to choosing the vice presidential
candidate they had to follow the same
hazardous course. The larger men
refused the post so they picked a
, gentleman, doubtless good editor,
who has never held public office, never
strayed into fields other than his own
businessmen more widely unknown
to the people than his chief"
Vice President Garner, the Demo-
cratic chairman said, and his long
experience in governmental affairs
had been of inestinable value during
the grave period of restoration.
He predicted that the Democratic
convention would write a platform to
which Roosevelt and Garner can
commit themselves without laugh
ing, and can swallow without choking"
something that could not be said of
the Republican platform.
For three years." Farley said, "OurS
has been a peoples government. 1t Is
our job to keep it peoples govern
ment"
He charged that behind the Re-
publican ticket is the crew of the Du
Pont Liberty League and their allies"
He was obviously hitting at Al Smith
and other signers of the recent state
ment calling upon delegates to the
Democratic Convention to toss Roose-
welt overheard and nominate a "genu-
ing" Democrat.
The big audience, filling every nook
and crany of the huge auditorium
laughed and clapped and shouted their
approval of Farley's attack upon the
Republicans and praise of Roosevelt.
THE real New Deal" he concluded,
sane and orderly-not the wild Wis
ionary, socialistic or communistic
creation of it's enemies imagination
will sail on serenely, to the goal Of
complete recovery, and at its helm
that calm, capable and courageous
commander, Franklin D. Roosevelt. ="
Harmony Is Theme.
Harmony is the theme song of this
New Deal Democratic army, gathered
in the City of Brotherly Love. All
the delegates are for the renomina-
ton Of President Roosevelt There
are no major engagements in sight.
There may be a ripple of gunfire over
some of the planks of the Democratic
national platform and over the abro-
cation Of the century-old two-thirds
rule. Take it by and large, however,
never before has there been staged a
Democratic National Convention over
which the dove Of peace hovered with
such assurance. In the light Of past
conventions, almost it seems undemo-
cratic.
Lacking the stimulus of the con-
flict, the party managers have under
taken to make this gathering stu
pendous show. Such it promises to be,
with enthusiasm for Roosevelt at fever
heat.
Glass Wishes Respected.

ment was removed this morning when

of the majority of the delegation last
night. Most of them said they did not
care about it either way.

man, said he, personally, would not
