HAMILTON ASSA|LS
TUGWE[L THEORIES
Says Constitution Is Endan.
gered by Desire of Some
to Replace 1t.
Py the Associated Press.

HOLLYWOOD. August l5.-Saying
"it is altogether possible that our
Constitution does need revision"
Chairman John D. M. Hamilton Of
the Republican National Committee
declared here tonight the security Of
the people Is endangered by desire
which he attributed to some New
Dealers to replace the Cons titution
with some other mechanism"
In speech here Hamilton said. "As
Gov. Landon said in his acceptance
speech, If the people have not the
right to change their form Of Govern
ment to fit their wishes. they would
not be free, but am not aware that
Franklin Delano Roosevelt has at any
time made specific suggestions as to
how it should be revised.
''The men surrounding him in re-
sponsible positions and to whom he
has apparently given full confidence
have, in unmistakable terms, however.
indicated that our Constitution needs
not revision, but replacement by some
other mechanism"
L1C lklC lldTu-NUil StCullbN
which Is our birthrighC as citizens Of
the United States" Is heritage not
to be bartered without thought"
ITO relinquish It," he declared, for
schemes Of untried promise or for the
illusory plans Of a Government whose
schemes through three and half
years have proved illusory Is neither
progressive nor Is 1t progress"
Hamilton also assailed the national
planning theories Of DR.. Rexford lug
well. Undersecretary of Agriculture:
the agricultural adjustment act and
President Roosevelt's attitude toward
1t, and taxes and spending by the
administration.
The people, Hamilton said. accepted
the A. A. A. in part because it was
said to be an emergency measure" I"
but the President, he declared, denied
in October. 1885, that 1t was ever In
tended as an emergency measure.
They also accepted 1t on Mr..
Roosevelt's own assurance that it was
an experiment that he would watch
with an open mind" Hamilton con-
tinued. Let me quote his words:
II fair administrative trial of it Is
made and it does not produce the
hoped-for results. shall be the first
to acknowledge it and advise you
I'VE have never had such acknowl-
edgement nor advice from the Presi-
dent, although I think the record Is
clear and the American people con-
slider it clear. -
Why is the President so strangely
silent? I can see but two conclu-
sions. Either he is unable to see the
true results of his excursion into
planned security, or that having seen
and understood these results, he is
unwilling to admit them in an election
year."

whistles and shouts Of encourage
ment.
Smith told the delegates. You Just
wait and I'll tell you when to cheer.
II you cheer every time I
speak a truth, you'll keep busy" The
audience roared him on.
Delegations supplanted tired throats
today with noisemakers of every de-
scription, from tin whistles to auto
mobile KlaxonS and street car bells.
They welded them at the slightest
provocation.
The delegates went out of hand
just as the convention was called to
order and stamped through the aisles
and choked the rostrum foreground
for an hour before they could be un-
tangled.
Consistently they jumped to their
feet at every reference to the Royal
Oak priest.
Still not content with their exer-
tions Of the day. impromptu parades
formed outside the auditorium after
the session, and delegates scattered
to Great Lakes Exposition grounds
nearby and to hotel lobbies to carry
on until the concluding meeting SUM-

continued Coughlin:
Il do deprecate the fact that he is
dedicated to the gold standard which.
in 1914. was the blood standard"
With police protection O'Donnell
left the platform and went to a COM
mittee room Police kept the corridor
cleared until the convention settled
back to business. And then O'Donnell
left the building.
Introduction of the resolution pro-
posing Endorsement of Lemke and
OBrien was the signal for prolonged
demonstration. The resolution was
offered by Bramer.
Delegates Cheer Lemke.
Delegates leaped to their feet and
surged toward the platform. cheering
and shouting, waving banners and
ringing bells, in a wild outburst of
enthusiasm.
I'VE want Lemke. We want Lemke,
became the convention cry.
Voting on the resolution was delayed
until the din subsidized.
After the O'Donnell incident. the
convention tackled its task of approx
ing a constitution for the Union.
Father Coughlin, as chairman of the
Constitution Committee, submitted,
section by section. the constitution
under which the organization has op-
Grated for the last year.
The delegates staged a tremendous
ovation for Father Coughlin early in
today's session, parading through the
aisles. shouting. whistling and ringing
bells for nearly an hour.
The demonstration followed intro
duction of resolution by Louis B
Ward, chairman of the Resolutions
Committee, indorsing with no ex-
ceptions whatsoever all the acts OF
our president and great leader, the
Rev. Charles z. Coughlin"
Coffin Labeled "O'Connor."
During the demonstration a groul
of delegates from New York marched
to the platform and deposited "cof.

CLEVELAND, August 15.-Dr. F. e.
Townsend expressed the opinion to-
day "the inference is pretty strong"
that James A. Farley, Democratic ma
tional chairman, and r. E. Clements,
ousted pension movement secretary,
backed q court suit against directors
OF OId-Age Revolving Pensions. Ltd.
Attorney Charles H. Hubbeil. at a
deposition hearing, today recounted to
Townsend that Raymond j. Jef1reys.
Ohio pension leader, testified several
days ago that a suit brought by the
Rev. Alfred J. Wright, deposed Town
send national board member, was
actuated by Clements, who, in turn,
was backed by Farley.
Would you care to express an
opinion?" the lawyer asked.
1T could be nothing but an
opinion, Townsend replied. "The in
ference is pretty strong, however. The
present administration spent $l25,00O
of the taxpayers money to discredit
our organization.
Clements Status Changed.
Since Mr.. Clements testimony be-
fore the Investigating Committee ir
Washington his status has changed
entirely so far as our organization
Is concerned. He is no longer a mem
ber of our organization.
He is no longer prosecuted ano
bothered by the Investigating Commit
tee. He seems to have plenty OF
money to spend and is spending j
freely. He is apparently endeavorini
TO organize the dsgruntled follower
of our organization"
Wright brought the suit here during
the Townsend National Convention
His petition asked removal OF Town
send and other directors of Revolvini
Pensions, Ltd, appointment Of a re
ceiver and accounting of approximate
ly s1,0oO,0O0 in funds.
