SOLE ISSUE, FARLEY SAYS,
is CONTINUING NEW DEAL

Convention Hall, Philadelphia, June
23.-(AP)-The sole issue of the COM
ing presidential campaign is the con-
tinuance of the New Deal, Chairman
Farley, of the Democratic National
Committee, said today as he opened
his party's national convention.
To this he added a lashing attack
upon both the nominees and the plat
form of the Republican party, and a
charge that they were the product of
an effort to appear conservative in
the east and liberal in the west.
Behind the Republican ticket he
added, "is the crew of the DUPONT
Liberty League and their allies, which
they have so far financed every I'M
dercover agency that has disgraced
American politics with their appeals
to race prejudice, religious intoler-
ance and personalities so gross that
they had to be repudiated even by

tain whether the President would &C
cept Wallace's proposal for crop in
surance. In the end Mr.. Roosevelt is
depended on to decide.
Missing from the platform councils
was Senator Carter Glass, the Vir-
ginia party leader, who refused cleo
ton to the resolution committee, say
ing he was too weary after the long
congressional session at Washington.
Governor Peery was chosen Virginia's
representative in his stead.
Missing likewise from the party's
nominal general staff was another
who had disagreed often with Mr..
Roosevelt. The Georgia delegation re-
fused to re-elect Governor Eugene
Talmade to the national committee.
Farley's speech today was offered
as a sort of preliminary keynote IN
praise of Roosevelt and condemna-
ton of his enemies. The actual key
note will be delivered at a second ses-
sion tonight by Senator Alben w.
Barley of Kentucky.

the regular Republican organization
With these assertions, he coupled
extended praise for the accomplish
ments of the New Deal, and a pre-
diction that the Democratic platform
would be one to which the resolutions
committee would commit itself with
out laughing and swallow without
choking"
THE continuance of the New Deal
is the ISSUE" Farley shouted to the
delegates at the very outset of hts
remarks.
"The platform adopted by the Tte-
publicans at Cleveland" he said, was
unsurpassed in the history of party
declarations for platitudes and vague
promises, and then he said:
Nobody takes the Cleveland plat
form seriously-not even our political
adversaries."
Had the Republicans been sincere,
he continued, they would have re-
nominated former President Hoover,
who Farley said represents the clas-
steal attitude of their party, and then
we would have had direct and frank
contest before the American people
of the New Deal and the Old Deal"

phus Daniels no one can recall them.
1t was Simmons with the help of Aus
Watts, the chief mechanic of his ma
chine" who CONCEDED the plan of
Statewide prohibition in order to
break up the alliance between the IL
quor interests and the Republican
party in the State back in 1907. Their
plan was so successful that both the
Democratic party and the State as a
whole has remained politically dry"
ever since. Throughout this same pc
riod Josephus Daniels has been re-
garded as being ust as dry" as SIM
mons, even though he did support AL
Smith in 1928, when Simmons baked
at swallowing the East Slider. The
News and Observer owned and pub
lished by the Daniels family and
which has been edited by son johann
than since the elder Daniels became
ambassador to Mexico, is generally
regarded as being bone-dry as ever,
though the prevailing belief is that
son JOhanthan's views with regard to
liquor are somewhat more liberal
than those of his father. Yet there
has been nothing to indicate taht Sim
mons and the Daniels pater ct filius,
are not in sympathy with DR.. McDon-
aid ust as much now, since he has
come out on a wringing wet" liquor
platform, as they were prior to his
recent stand.
The reason for the strange spectacle
Of two bone "drys," two "wringing
vets" and one moist" in the same
political bed, is not SO difficult to
figure out, however, among those who
have been following the States poll
teal history for years. They maintain
that with Simmons it is merely a
case of gnawing bitterness and re-
sentiment against the party which &c
feated him for the Senate in 1928
when he refused to back the party
nominee for President and went over
to Herbert Hoover, SO that he is now
backing Mcdonald instead of Hoey,
the candidate which has the backing
of the regular" wing of the party in
the hope of getting even.''
With regard to the Daniels, many
observers maintain their present SYM
pathetic attitude towards Mcdonald
is due to a combination of sour grapes
and of political repression, due to the
fact that they have long wanted to
be selected by the Democratic party
to lead it out into the light, hut have
never been so chosen. SO they picked
Mcdonald in the belief that he could
gum the works better than any one
else, many are convinced.

URGES WADE'S CAUSE

To the Editor:
In the second primary July 4th in
addition to the Governor race there
will be another contest: Thad Eure
against Stacy w. Wade for Secretary
of State. Mr.. Wade is just finishing
his first term and having made one of
the best, officers in the State from my
viewpoint, he is entitled to at least
another term and 1 hope that our
people in Vance County will give him
nice majority
l have known Mr. Wade for a num-
Der of years and he is not only good
officer, but a splendid gentleman and
worthy of the support of the voters
of the State. Lets go to the polls on
July 4th and show by our vote that
we believe in supporting the best
man and in rewarding real merit

Sully likes his boss. He knows that

But he imagines his work is adven-
turous, glamorOuS, rOmatic. Over a

that he narrowly escaped a humdrum
career. He had a chance once in his
youth, to go to some "crazy island a
