he was going to talk to l man and
found so. Jensen had called in Re-

They met on testing ground. It
would mean something for Republican

gathering of that kind without q
fight, real fight with fists. The air
was charged with a feeling that the

W.P. A. CONTRACT

Provisions Held to USurp

TACOMA, Wash, June 20.-Federal
Judge Edward E. Cushman raised a
barrier yesterday against certain con-
tract provisions required by the Public
Works Administration on State prof.
ects under w. P. A. supervision.
Ruling invalid a contract made by
q Vancouver Wash, school district,
Judge Cushman referred specifically
yesterday to sections of the contract
providing for the 30-hour week, mini
mum wages, employment OF men from
Government lists and settlement Of
labor disputes by a Federal board.
In each of these sections, he said,
the State left to Federal authorities
final decisions, such as when the 30
hour week could be suspended and
what constituted a minimum wage.
Such delegation of power Is illegal,
he continued, since a State may only
ask for Federal Intervention IN State
affairs when inSurrection, invasion or
similar tragedy is threatened.
In the Vancouver case, contractor,
George Isaacson, sued the district for
an unpaid balance declared due on a
building Testimony showed 1872
changes were made in the structure
after the contract was signed. The
school district produced the written
contract as a defense, and refused to
pay any moneys above the contracted
figure. Isaacson's figures were based

Farley's press conference was the
only political event of the day. A
hundred reporters from newspapers
all over America-probably mostly
from unfriendly editors surrounded
the Democratic statesman N his
headquarters and jollied him for halt
an hour.
He sat on a walnut desk, which
matched his brown suit, and clicked
his heels as he answered questions
The net news residue of the con-
ference was: (a) That he expects the
tWo-thirds rule to be abrogated, and
(b) that the administration will not
push the abrogation of the rule, but
will leave the delegates to the con-
vention free to act as they please.
Fight Believed Won.
From Farley's attitude it was evil
dent that the Democrats of the great
cities. who have been unhappy under
the two-thirds rule, feel that they
have won their fight against the rule
The debate on the rule will occur
Thursday when the committee on
rules will make its report to the
convention.

rooterS who will sit on the floor So
RooSevelt's friends-the Democrats
from New York, New England, the
midAtlantic States, and the delegates
from the great industrial-city States
around the Great Lakes and the far
western coast-State cities-feel safe
in cutting the string that binds the
Democratic party to southern control.
The convention will not attempt
to press the unit rule in the States.
The unit rule still can bind delegates
In the Democratic convention if inn
posed by State conventions. That
was evident from Farley's answers to
reporters today That much power
will be left TO States In resisting the
bandwagon lure of the city bosses in
future conventions. But, even with
the unit rule, the Democratic party
will be reborn party with the two
thirds rule gone
With the passing of the two-thirds
rule, one ghost will rest in peace who
has been haunting Democratic con-
ventions for two dozen years calling
for vengeance. Out at Bowling Green,
Mo, Champ Clark, who lost his nomi-
nation for the presidency to Woodrow
Wilson under the two-thirds rule, will
no longer walk the earth restless
spirit in sorrow and distress.
Son to Lead Fight.
His son, Bennett Champ Clark
Senator from Missouri, will lead the
fight or the old rule that kept his
father out of the White House.
When the young man wins, an ele-
ment of poetic justice will enter into
what otherwise would be a rather
grim and sordid parting between the
old Democratic party and the new.
Senator Wagner of New York Is
bringing the tentative draft of the
platform. Those who have seen va
rious plankS say that it is drafted
after President RooSevelt's speeches in
the South last week. He told the South
time and again that the old theory oi
State rights cannot stand in the new
order. In the Republican convention
last week every major domestic prom
ise in the platform was channeled
through the States. Thus the two
major parties are about to change
partners in the dance.
Alexander Hamilton cuts in on Miss
Democracy and Thomas jefferson
grabs the new Republican party-the
party with the name he knew and
loved in his own lifetime. And says

WHAT'S THE POINT

The Democratic Richmond Times
Dispatch deplOres Governor ALI NJ.
Landon's speech about the "Ameri-
can way" 1t sounds suspiciously, to
the Dispatch, like Alfred E.
Smiths speech about keeping the
door of opportunity open for our
children.
Let's examine this pro-ROosevelt
reasoning:
l. The whole idea of keeping the
door of opportunity open to our chill
dren is wicked. because Al Smith
mentioned it.
2. Governor Landon is wicked be-
cause he expressed, in a different
way, much the same idea about re-
tanning the American system of gov
ernment so the poor boy may have
a chance to get somewhere in this
country.
According to this, there is only
one man who can be right and that
is Roosevelt; or is this an indirect
way of trying to knock down the
vast amount of Democratic cOndem-
nation of the New Deal party candi-
late who holds all records for brok-
IN promises?
