After vigorously spanking his critics
and challenging them to meet the
issue of repeal of the New Deal laws,
the President said: I'VE are justified

continuing gains for the third sue

logical policies under which agricul-
ture and industry are returning to

Under these policies we approach
a balance of the national budget. Ma

based on that income increase with

MESSAGE IS SEEN
THREAT TO PARTY
Expected to Have Repercus-
sions Reaching Into Demo.
cratic Convention.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Far from helping avert the breacn
threatened in his party, President
Roosevelt's fighting message to Con-
eress was expected today to have
repercussions reaching into the Demo-
cratic convention and possibly the
presidential campaign.
By the same token there was an
inclination among some Republican
independents to consider it-ln the
words of Senator Nye of North Da-
kota-"a challenge to the Old Guard
In the Republicanparty."
Look to Smith Speech.
Politicians tended to attach more
significance than ever to the speech
by Alfred E. Smith here January 25
to the American Liberty League
dinner.
Although the President did not
mention the league, his reference to
having earned the hatred of en-
trenched greed" prompted some DEM
ocrats to say that he was aiming at
the league as we'll as other organiza-
tions opposed to the New Deal.
Representative Maverick, Democrat.
of Texas commented that the address
told the Liberty League. the National
Association of Manufacturers. the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States and all the other hungry sore
heads that got fat off the Govern
ment where to head in
Standing pat, no quarter" typifled
the conclusions of those who sought
to CLEAN from the message hints OF
future New Deal plans and the Roose-
yelt-Garner reelection platform.
Tactics Are Unchanged.
Embraced in that consensus was
realization that, politically speaking,
broad administration tactics remain
the same as when Mr.. Roosevelt flew
to Chicago to accept the nomination
In 1882. Then, as again last night, ne
depicted his program as above par
tisanship.
The groups named by Maverick
have become increasingly vocal
against much that has been and Is
being done. Former Gov. Smith. as
charter member of the Liberty
League, is on record against essen
tials of the policies freshly upheld
by the President.
The message to Congress came at
a time when plans for Smiths ad-
dress toward the end of the month
had been public only few days. In
creasingly he is considered as per-
sonification of the Eastern opposition
In the party.

Next to the business suit, the most
common dress was the dark blue of

Many In Afternoon Frocks.
A majority of feminine officialdom
had followed Mrs. Roosevelts lead and
had chosen dark-colored afternoon
clothes. dark hats. What color there
was made real splashes on that digni-
fled background-the olive-green gown
of Mrs. Morgenthau in the executive
gallery. the rich purple costume of
Mrs. Byrns. wife of the Speaker; the
reds and greens and rusts of the pub
lie galleries.
No occasion of recent years had
brought such brilliant spectacle. In
the diplomatic gallery, which usually
is lonely looking. all the corps who
could crowd in appeared-the British
Ambassador and his sister, Lady Eliza
beth Lindsay; the Belgian Amb2ssa-
dor. the Cuban Ambassador. Ministers
from Sweden. Lithuania, Siam, Por-

and the Rumanian charge d'affaires.

IT IS TINE TO FIND OUT
CANDIDATES. QUALIFICATIONS

In slightly less than a week, Imperial
Valley citizens will join the rest of Cali
fornia citizens in going to the polls for
the August 25 primary to choose candi-
dates for county office, state office and
federal office. For those who have not
already made up their minds, there is
little time left in which to determine
who Is the best candidate for any given
job.
He is an'unwise voter who goes to the
polls, without knowing much about any
of the candidates, and marks his ballot
The American system of government is
built on confidence in the voter who
knows what each candidate stands for,
and votes for the one he believes in most.
Regardless of viewpoint or political
belief, it is high time for the voters to
make up their minds about the men
who are asking to be placed in charge
of public affairs. Their records are
easily available, their public utterances
are open to anyone There is no excuse
for ignorance in the coming election.

News Behind the News
Where The Labor Vote is Going
The Politicians KHOU Council
FGUOrS Roosevelt

WASHINGTON.-Few politicians have any
more doubt as to where the bulk of the labor
vote is going.
The question most at issue is whether,
when organized labor aligns itself rather SOL
idly behind one presidential candidate, there
won't be sufficient adverse reaction from
farmers and other middle-claSS voters to offset
the effect
secret poll of the II members of the
American Federation of Labor's executive coun-
ell recently showed that all but two favored
endorsement Of Roosevelt by the council
This was especially significant, as the coun-
ell includes but one member of the Committee
for Industrial Organization. whose leaders have
been foremost in the pro-RooSevelt activities OF
LaborS Non-PartiSan League.
The council. however. is practically certain
to refrain from such endorsement. The big
obstacle is the fact that President Big Bill
HutcheSon of the carpenters union. one of the
three or four most powerful members of the
council. has threatened to take his union out
of the A. F. of L. if the council comes out for
Roosevelt.
Hutcheson is chief of the Republican Ma
tional committees labor division. The other
council member who opposes endorsement of
Roosevelt is John Cofield, head of the plum
berS union.
President William Green of the A F. of L.
is lifelong Democrat and has declared person.
ally for Roosevelt, have 20 state federationS
of labor. with more to come. Few of the big
labor leaders who have announced for the pres
ident can be properly classified either Re-
publicanS or Democrats Figuring from strictly
practical point of view, they think they have
gotten more out Of Roosevelt than they would
be likely to get from Landon.
There is plenty of comfort for Republicans,
however. 1t has yet to be demonstrated that
either political or other movement of organiz-
ed labor is likely to attract general support out
side labor ranks
The popularity of Calvin Coolidge after he
received credit for breaking the Boston police
strike is a in point Support OF labor may
lose Roosevelt many votes
Possibility that some crafts union leaders
may turn against Roosevelt because they believe
he is too sympathetic to John Lewis and indus
trial unionism may may not materialize.
Feeling among some labor leaders is bitter and
some of them aren't acting at all calmly.
Green himself flew off the handle at a
press conference when a newspaperman, gen.
orally considered as well informed on labor
questions as anyone in Washington, asked him
who appointed the credentials committee at the
A F. of L. convention-the committee which
will pass on eligibility of c. L o. union dele
gates and a committee which under bylaws is
appointed by Green himself.
You know the answer to that, = replied
Green bitterly. You're just trying to discredit
mel"
The correspondent said he wanted to apol-
ogize in case he had caused any embarraSs-
ment and then asked Green for an apology,
which he didn't get,

FAR REMOVED is AUTO
FROM BUGGY ERA

If it be possible to talk about the horse
and buggy days without getting into a
discussion of politics, it might be point
ed out that most of us have a fairly cock
eyed idea of what the horse and buggy
era really was like.
Unless our memories are fairly long
and accurate we assume that the horse
and buggy occupied much the same place
that the automobile occupies today. We
figure that it was the ordinary mode of
conveyance for the ordinary family; mat
the average man was as used to viewing
the open road over the jogging hams of
Old Dobbin as he now is used to viewing
it over the bright nickel of his radiator
cap ornament.
A recent advertisement points out that
this assumption is entirely false.
Today, this advertisement discloses,
three out of four American families have
automobiles. In 1900 not one urban
family in 100 had horse and buggy
The overwhelming ajority of Ameri-
cans who lived in the horse and buggy
age. in other words, did their living
without the aid of the horse and buggy.
This is little point worth remember
ing. Arrival of the automobile age
symbolizing not merely the automobile,
but all the other mechanical gadgets of
the present-did not merely enable the
average man to do in new way what
he had formerly done in a less efficient
way; it enabled him to do things which
previously he had not been able to do
at all.
1t completely altered his way of life
and changed the whole complexion OF
his world. Today he can own his own
means of transportation; in the horse
and buggy age he could not. The fact
that the automobile has it all over the
horse as a means of getting from place
to place is purely incidental
And that, perhaps, is why we seem to
be having such hard time getting ad-
justed to this new age of inventions and
mechanics. We are living in new
world. Human life is acually lived diff
ferently today than it was in our faith
ers' day.

THE FRUIT MOVES
San Diego SUM


California today presents the spectacle of
one of the most remarkable annual food move
rnents in the history of the world.
From the fruit valleys of the coastal range
near San Francisco and from the great in
terror valleys and the foothills of the Sierra
train-load after train-load of pears and peaches
are rolling eastward to the great eastern mar
kets while thousands of trucks carry brlm-
ming boxes from the orchards to the packing
houses where they will be canned TO supply
tables all over the world Placer county alone
has shipped 2400 carloads of fruit this season!
Apricots are already picked, and in the
Santa Clara valley the trees sag under ripe
purple prunes The almond harvest begins this
week And it will be no time until the great
grape harvest IS ready.
This Notwithstanding tonnage of fresh fruit
is something that only California can show.
We can never be duly proud and happy about
it until marketing problems are solved and
every group engaged in the industry gets the
rewards to which it is entitled. There is some
satisfaction this year in knowing that returns
TO growers are better and that pckers' camps
are more sanitary and comfortable and wages
slightly higher.
