NEWDEAL NOMINEE
OPPOSED BY KING
Utahan Sees Byrd, Bailey
and Clark as Presidential
Timber,

A proposal from Senator King,
Democrat, Of Utah that the 1910
Democratic presidential candidate be
a man from outside the New Deals
inner circle emphasized today the
split within the party.
King said the nominee should be
some one like Senators Byrd of Vir-
ginia, Clark Of Missouri or Bailey OF
North Carolina. He asserted he could
not second the nomination" by SEN
ator Minton, Democrat, OF Indiana
Of Paul v. McNutt.
King was one of the leading oppo-
nents Of the Roosevelt court bill and
the three Senators he named also
were opposed to the measure rs we'll
as many other New Deal proposals.
McNutt, former Indiana Governor
and now American high commissioner
to the Philippines, Is described by his
friends as seeing eye-to-eye with the
New Deal. In Manila he refused to
comment today on the statement by
Minton and q similar expression by
Senator Van Nuys Of Indiana.
"Too Early" Says King.
King said it was ''too early" to pick
the Democratic nominee, but added:
Il feel sure that the candidate will
not be communistic or radical, but
will be genuine Democrat who will
defend the Constitution and maintain
Democratic Institutions
At the same time, King discounted
the possibility OF q permanent split
within the Democratic party, forecast
ing it would Continue as the progress
sive and liberal party OF our country"
Kings statement came on top of
an assertion by Majority Leader
Barkley. that the Democratic party
had beaten of attempts to divide or
weaken It," and a mo reprisar' edict
from Democratic Chairman Farley.
you never get anywhere in politics
trying to get even." Farley asserted in
his first press conference since return
ing to Washington from tour of al
most every State east of the Mis-
sissippi
'1t's Up to Voters"
Those who opposed the administra-
tion will have difficulty explaining
it to the voters back home" Farley
declared, although he said "it is up
to the voters of the States whether
they approve or disapprove the acts OF
their present legislators"
Replying to questions concerning
the conflict between his own peaceful
views and the reprisal sentiments of
Senator Guffey of Pennsylvania, re-
signed chairman of the Senate Demo-
cratic Campaign Committee, Farley
asserted "every member of the Senate
has the right to express himself on
any subject as he sees fit."
Scouts G. o. P. Claims.
Farley characterized as silly" the
forecast by Republican Chairman
John D. M. Hamilton that the Re-
publicans would gain in next years
Congressional elections-"just as silly
as the other statements made from
the day when Mr.. Hamilton was
elected Republican chairman"
The Postmaster General promised
you'll know all about it, II, as and
when" he might decide to forsake
public Office for q lucrative position
In the business world.
Farley discussed only briefly the
controversial issue Of the 1886 Demo-
cratic campaign books and said their
sale was concluded before House Re-
publican Leader Smell introduced
resolution TO investigate 1t.
Barkleys statement that there has
been no breakdown in the Presidents
nor in the ability Of the
Democratic party to work out the Ma
tons great economic and social prob
ems under that leadership" was re-
leased after he departed for Europe.
Defending the administrations leg
slative record from January to Au-
yust, Barley contended the Supreme
Court fight obscured other accom-
olishments and predicted that unfin-
shed New Deal measures would be |
yiven early attention at the next |
Iession.
He avoided any comment on whether |
! special session Is to be called be-
ore January.
Wage-Hour Legislatien.
Referring to tho Presidents rec
for wage and hour leg
which was left pending In
he House, Barley said, 1T would
1ave been desirable to finish this
ask at the recent session. But the
,ledges Of . single campaign can
rot al be fulfilled In one session Of
