Backed by a scrap book that
contains clippings from numerous
newspapers and letters from Jim
Farley and Franklin Delano RooSe-
velt attesting their devotion to
the cause it is claimed that Mr..
Leib in 1881 organized a Roosevelt
Club in st. Louis, Mo-, that put
Missouri in the Roosevelt column
at the Chicago convention; that
he persuaded John Nance Garner
to deny he was candidate for
President or would oppose Roose-

Administration on the Wagner

lease a statement that Green
would not oppose the reelection Of

 about 6:30 o'clock, the deceased, an Ii year old boy, was walking easterly on the Wolcott-Waterbury road, in company with his brother, Frederick, age Q, his sister, Pearl, age l5 and his cousin, Gertrude Baldwin, age 1T. When about 300 feet easterly from the Sttlson road, Joseph was walking on the out- side, on the edge of the asphalt, his sister, Pearl, on the inside, on the dirt shoulder, and Frederick about two steps ahead of Joseph, with Gertrude beside him on the inside.
 At this time large truck with a canvas cover, showing two greenish blue lights on the front of the body, and proceeding at a fast rate of speed, struck Joseph, throwing him to the ground and so severely injur- ing him that he died at St. Mary's hospital at 7:30 ?. m. The truck did not stop, but continued on in the direction of Bristol.
 "On January 4, at about 1:30 o'clock, George R. Richter of Bris- tol, with a helper. Harry White. also of Bristol, left that city for Waterbury, driving @ red, three-ton GMC truck with canvas cover. hav- ing bluish green lights on the body. Before leaving Waterbury Rich- ter had Q whiskey highball.
 "He made several collections of money in Waterbury and at 5:Ob D. m. left for Bristol from Brook street, Waterbury. He had two glasses of beer before leaving Brook street, stop was made at Oliver's on East Main street, of about ten minutes. Richter had another glass of beer and he and White (his helper) started back to Bristol over the back road. :" The deputy coroner finds that Richter's truck was observed as It narrowly missed a parked car on Wolc0tt street. He also points out that Richter's truck had . broken right reflector glass and that Richter threw away the broken reflector, replacing 1t with one from the other side of the truck.

 The Talmadge bolt from MT. Roosevelt is avowed and definite on the grounds that the New Deal is un-American and communicate. With the bolt of the Long ma chine which swept primary elec- tions this month in Louisiana, the anti- Roosevelt movement has eaten deeply into the so-called solid south. But practical politicians do not measure Talmadge's possibilities with so optimistic a yardstick as the governor himself evidently ap- plies. The Macon meeting today was to embrace some 10000 repre- sentatIves of iT southern and hor- der states. But none believes Tal- madge can swing the south nor the bOrderlands generally away from traditional party alignments.

 Robinson went down the line on Smiths charges against the New Deal, recalled the Smith position in past years and sald:
 "0ov. Smith, I've read you the record. You approved MIRA, you approved farm relief, you urged fed. OrAl spending and public works, you urged congress to cut rcd tape and confer power on the executive, you urged autooratie power for the president, and you exposed with mereiless logic the false cry ot com. munism and socialism. The New Deal was the platform of the happy warrior.
 "The policies of the Liberty League have become the platform of the unhappy warrior"
 Robinson took as his text 0enesis, the 27th chapter, verse a.: "The voice is Jacobs voice but the hands are the hands of Esau."
 Recalled Past Speeches
 Along the line of that biblical quotation, the senate majority leader set out to tear, down the impression made by smiths speech by recalling past speeches of the New Yorker, by comparing his lonS service "in behalf of the common man" to his appearance before n billion dollar" audience Saturday night.
 The democratic high command had put their best efforts Into the senator's address and it struck at every opening which Smith left,
 What is our AnlaXement to find Gov. Smith enthroned in tho camp of the enemy, warning llke one of tho Janixaries of old against his own people and against the men and women with whom he fought shoulder to shoulder in the pastl" Robinson exclaimed.
 Part oR Du Fonts
 Tt was tho swellest party ever given by the Du Ponts."
 Robinson challenged smiths NS- seTtion that the Roosevelt relief measures had failed to overcome oppression, pointing to statistics on current business to show that the progress of "our recovery Is appar- ent".
 President Roosevelt" he said, "had not been in the White House 24 hours before bankers and other big businessmen now grouped ln the Liberty League appealed to him to do something, to do any. thing, No sooner had these sup- plieants been made secure than they began to complain of the very pro- eesses by which their fortunes had been preserved. ."

 Unbiased persons were uncertain whether Talmadge could weld all the scattered opponents Of the New Deal into one, compact, iigntinB unit, Alfred E. Smith, for instance, was invited on tho strength Of his liberty league address last satur- day. but he had sent no reply.
 Parson In Llmelight
 On the fringe of the convention was the baryel-ches Parson who held Huey P. Longs hand when nc died, the Rev. Gerald L. K. Smith. who now breaches the gospel or 'share- e-the-weaith." Smith said he would address the convention today. But no person in authority would confirm his statement and his name was not listed on the ofiicial pro' gram.
 Leaders ot the Long organization who inherited Longs power In Lou" siana politics insisted Smith had no authority to speak for them.
