Marked improvement in the re.

said:
Department stores are espe-

vention. Neither Talmadge nor any
of the other anti-New Deal Democrats
attending the convention really be-
lieve Roosevelt can be stopped at the
Philadelphia convention, but they in
tend to do all in their power to put
spoke in the administration wheel
and to prevent unanimous indorse-
ment of Roosevelt.
The effect of the Macon convention
may be considered The fact that
such an anti ti-Roosevelt gathering could
be carried out by Democrats in the
South is not only astonishing but
indicative of the amount of sentiment
which has been growing against Roose-
welt and his policies in that section.
And, the delegates said today. if that
opposition is SO strong among Demo-
Gratis in the traditionally Democratic
South, there is every reason to believe
it is as strong and perhaps stronger
among Democrats in other parts of the
Nation.
Meeting Runs Smoothly.
The meeting of the convention ran
like clockwork. However. there was
no attempt to choke off" the speakers.
All of the work of the convention
was concluded in one session, begin
ming about 1870 am. and concluding
less than four hours later. The dele
gates and visitors crowded the plat
form to shake Gov. Talmadge's hand
Scores of farmers were in the gather
ing, some of them in overalls, but Gov.
Talmadge did not hesitate to fay the
A. A. A.
The convention drew a number of
interested spectators and anti -Roose-
velt Democrats from a large area. Col.
Henry Breckenridge, Assistant Secre-
tary Of War under Woodrow Wilson
when President Roosevelt was AS
sistant Secretary of the Navy, was
given seat on the speakers plat
form.
Talmadge was at particular pains
to score his arch enemy in Washing
ton, Secretary Ickes of the Interior
Department, with whom he has been
at war for more than a year. Ickes
has referred to Talmadge as "his chain
gang excellency." Ickes, said Tai.
madge, is mot even good Republican
he is renegade Republican" The
Governor also referred to Ickes a.
that "boondoggling coward in Wash
ington."

New York, Republican leader, said:

fence-straddling Kansas Republican"
while Senator Capper, Republican, Of
Kansas, said program such as Lam

Landon struck responsive chords
among anti-NeW Dealers by assail-
ing what he termed political wasters, u
"tax-eating bureaucracy, half-baked
legislation" gross decentralization
OF power" and powerful forces trying
to convince our people that the Con-
stitution is not their charter of lib
critics"
While many speeches are being
made, the day of formally declared
candidates has not yet arrived. In
dorsed by the Republican Central
Committee of his State and urged by
the Kansas Day Club to permit use
of his name as candidate, Landor
smiled and simply expressed his
thanks.
Neither did Talmadge commit him
self when the grass roots" gathering
invited him to become a candidate
yesterday.
