coin as a real Democrat" who was
chosen President only by the
founding of a new party" also sent
cold chills down some Democratic
backs. And his very evident demand
that in choosing presidential cam
didate for 1910 the Democrats should
pick a New Deal liberal was an
other jolt to some of his audience.
Never, however, was the President
in better form. His delivery of his
address swept the crowd along with
him. His alternate shafts of humor
and sarcasm brought running echo
of applause and laughter.
More than 1900 guests gathered
for the dinner.
Held in Every State.
Former Gov. o. Max Gardner of
North Carolina was chairman of the
jackson Day Committee of the Dis
trict of Columbia, which arranged

secretary of the Democratic Ma

The Jackson Day dinners were
held in every State last night COM
memorating the seventh Presidents
victory in the Battle of New Orleans
In 1915. While the guests at the
dinner here paid $1O0 for the priv
'ilege of eating filet mignon and be-

charge in New York was $50 and
in other cities '$25 or less. Similar
dinners year ago netted the Ma

The President said that neither

party has. half of the voters of
America.
But more than half of the voters
are for the Democratic party" he
said, whenever the Democratic
party is for the majority Of the

Fighting Speech.
The Presidents speech was a
fighting speech, filled with pungent
phrases and epigrams of his own
coming. He welcomed the return of
the Republican party Ito a position
where 1t can no longer excuse itself
for not having a program on the
ground that it has too few votes"
Mr.. Roosevelt said that in recent
years Republican impotence has
caused powerful interests, opposed
to genuine democracy, to push their
way into the Democratic party,
hoping to paralyze 1t by dividing
its councils"
The first effect of the gains of
the Republicans in the recent elec-
tions, the President predicted, would
be to restore to the Republican
party the open allegiance "of those
who entered our primaries and party
councils with deliberate intent to
destroy our party's unity and ef-
fectiveness."
Mr.. Roosevelt insisted that if the
independent voters are convinced
that the Democratic party will re-
main a liberal party, they will be
the first to perceive what here and
now prophesy: That the Republican

Budget Challenge
To Congress
Rich Hears of Plan to
Ask Debt Limit of
80 Billion
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The United States Chamber of
Commerce said last night that Pres
ident Roosevelts budget, forecasting
another. $4,000, 100000 deficit, was
"a direct challenge to Congress, rep
resenting the people of the country
who must pay the BILL
In its review of business, the
chamber listed the deficits from 1881
on and commented that the figures
were 1.-The more disquieting because
of the underlying implications"
Interest and other charges on the
public debt next year, it said, will
total $1,500,0O0000 1t added:
"A popular poll of American SEN
timent shows that Americans far
and wide are overwhelmingly against
excessive public spending and re-
curing public deficits. =.
Congress never had a more i'm
portant task"
Meantime, Representative Rich,
Republican, of Pennsylvania said he
understood the administration was
going to ask this session of Con-
gress to raise the limit on the public
debt to $4,000 100000
That's the inside DOPE" he told
reporters. I'll bet a hundred dol
lars to a dinner on it,
The Pennsylvania, who makes a
ritual of hauling out the Treasury's
statement daily and lecturing the
House on the public debt and Gov
ernment spending, wouldn't say,
however, where a Republican could
get his inside dope"
Most administration supporters
said they had not even thought of
what the new limit ought to be,
although some said they took it for
granted that the present $45,O00,-
100000 figure would be raised. But
they said'it was a matter that could
wait-perhaps even until the next
congressional session.

State Employee List
Cut 1919 Survey Reveals
Number Reduced 1870 Under
Total Of Year Ago, Governor
Stassen's Office Reports

state departments under SUPER
vision of Governor Harold E. Stas-
sen have reduced the number of
their employees by $3.50, or ap-
proximately rs per cent, compared
with the number employed a year
ago, the governors office reported
in st. Paul today in making public
fer the first time a detailed report
of the changes that have been
made in personnel since the new
administration took office.
The reduction in employees will
mean saving of fully $1,000, 900 a
year in salaries, it was estimated
by department heads making the
study.
Lester R. Badger, secretary to
Governor Stassen, summarized re-
suits of the study in the absence
of the governor:
while appreciative of the condi-
tions which have prompted so many
to seek state jobs, the governor has
felt that every effort should be
made to reduce the number of
state employees where this is pos
sible and avoid the addition of un-
necessary employees. We are glad
to say that a very substantial re-
duction in the number has been
made. The twenty-one departments
under the governor had a total of
1881 employees on August I, 1888.
The total in these departments on
August list this year was 9,872. This
is a reduction of $3.50 employees,
Or more than rs per cent"
The number of regular employ
ees in the departments under the
governor has been reduced about
10 per cent, the survey disclosed,
and the number of employees of
the highway department on a tenn
porary and hourly basis has been
cut in half. Regular employees on
the payrolls IN these depart
ments on August LIST, 1888,
numbered 8,311, while the number
on the same date this year was
7,445. The number of employees
on an hourly basis, all in the high
way department, dropped from
$3.50 on August LIST, last year, to
2,247 on August LIST, this year.
Though comparison Of the Aug
ust LIST payrolls affords the best
measure of the changes made"
Badger said, another indication Of
the trend may be had by examining
the changes made since January /.
The number of employees released
from the regular payrolls Of the
departments since January LIST num-
bered 2,427, of which several hun
dred were employees hired for more
or less temporary work since jan
uary LIST. The number of regular
employees hired since January LIST
is but 1928.
1.-THE number Of seasonal and
hourly workers has increased some
what this year as it has in other
summers, particularly in the high
way department, but not to the ex-
tent of last year. A total Of 1855
such employees has been hired since
January LIST for this work, most
Of them engaged in the usual sum-
mer highway work, but two-thirds
of them, or 1,099, were persons who
had been employed by the state
prior to January list and so were
not new employees. No data Is
available as yet to show the num-
Der Of discharges in this group. The
total number Of workers on an
hourly basis on August LIST, how
ever, was only about half the num-
Der on August LIST last year."
