Young Republican
Club Leader Scores
Clique Within Party
Public Letter Explains Sentiments of Local Organ
izer; Advises Republicans to Offer Something
Constructive in Criticism Of New Deal

John McIugh, chairman Of the
executive committee OF the Young
Mems Republican club, today, issued
q flat-footed endorsement OF Con-
gresham J. Joseph Smith, Demo-
Graf, for reelection to Congress from
the fifth confessional district, In
a letter to The Democrat, Mr.. NC
Hugh praises Congressman Smiths
record at washington and attacks
the leadership OF the local Repubn-
can party as "clique that
couldn't win an election IN a nun
bred years"
Violent Republican reactions are
expected TO follow Mr.. McHughs
statement. Only O short time ago
he was the center OF O bitter con-
troversy, following his appointment
as chairman OF the executive COM
mittee by President Harold Hadley
OF the Young Mems Republican
club. A faction criticized The APP
pointment because Mr.. Ntzhugh, had
had publicly urged the election OF
Mayor Vincent A. Scully, Democrat,
last fall.
Mr.. McHugh lauds Congressman
Smith for his long interest In de-
Tense legislation, and suggests that
Republican leaders "offer something
constructive for the benefit OF our
country instead OF knocking the New
Deal, the President and everything
attempted by their Democratic
rivals.
Mr.. McHugh's letter follows:
To the Editor OF The Democrat:
Consistency In any endeavor,
especially 80 II the endeayor Is
honorable, or for the benefit OF
humanity In general Is invaribly
rewarded with success.
The voters In the 9Th congression-
al district responsible for sending
J. Joseph Smith TO Washington as

who was consistent IN purpose, and
who, regardless OF opposition, from
not only political opponents, but
from pacifists, and brother represent
tatlves Of his own party has finally
been recognized as the one repre-
sentative who was farsighted enough
TO see Just what this country OF ours
needed for It's own protection In
these .tlmes OF storm and strife,
which was inevitable, with foreign
powers for the past 20 years arm
Ing TO the teeth for war.
In some quarters today you hear
remarks from lamebrains, and yes
political opponents Of Representa-
tive ]. Joseph Smith, who aspire to
his position as representative Of the
5th Congressional district that Joe
Smith Is In accord with the presi-
dent OF the United States as far as
preparedness Is concerned. Far be
this from the truth. Not only Is the
president OF the United States, but
ex-President Herbert Hoover, Can
didate Alfred Landin on the 1885
Republican ticket, our own Cover
nor Raymond Z. Baldwin and the
majority OF governors In the United
States and brother representatives
In the Democratic party Of J. Joseph
Smith along with the majority OF
Republican representatives In Con-
gress In accord with Rep. ]. Joseph
Smith on preparedness. His legisla-
ton on preparedness Is fast being
adopted and recognized as being
brilliant by leaders OF both Demo-
crat and Republican parties.
This article being written by q
Republican may sound TO some
people as inconsistent on my part.
Let me state here and now would
feel very proud II high officials, and
leaders OF the Republican party
would offer something constructive
for the benefit OF our country In
stead OF knocking the New Deal,
the president and everything at
tempted by their Democrat rivals. !
would also feel proud OF the local
Republicans who O few months ago
attempted TO Dust from control OF
the local Republican party the
clique who are still hanging on II
they had been consistent and con-
tinued TO fight them and eventually
remove them from the control that
they have had for so long. The
condition locally In the Republican
party Is even worse than II was
before regardless OF the fact that
practically the same clique Is In
control.
Prominent Republicans Of all
races, Yankees included, toll me that
the clique In control, have control
and that Is all, they couldn't win an
election IN q hundred years, With
such legislation as j. Joseph Smith
has offered and has been accepted
for adoption what chance have po-
tential candidates already mentions
cd for his position In Republican
circles got, and why should the
voters OF the 9Th Congressional dis
trict shun 10 the sidelines q man
OF his ability and brillance for
someone who Is just looking for a
lucrative position. This Is one coun-
try where the people have the last say
and no dictators can tell them what
they must do. Even locally the Re-
publican dictators are being laughed
at on oil sides"

and could win II he wasn't tempered
with, Keppler said. The horse Sc
lected for the $4,000 plunge by the
trio involved In tho alleged con-
spiracy was the next best In the
race.
Well, Sun Plume got the carrot
from Keppler but for some reason
he only bit the tip Off OF II and the
carrot fell to the floor of his stall.
Race Over!
Keppler quickly retrieved II, ne Saia
and tossed 1t hurriedly into the
horses manger because somebody
walked into the stable. The horse
ate the carrot, but when the carrot
fell TO the floor most OF the NOR
phine powder fell out of 1t, II was
discovered after the race was over.
keppler got OH the horse, got OIL
to q good start and was happily out
In front making q good showing and
dreaming OF The $500, he was going
to get when Sun Plume put on the
brakes" There wasn't q worry IN
his mind he said, until he came into
the home stretch and Sun Plume
started putting on speed instead OF
slowing down, II was too late for
him then TO pull" the horse rs In
this position he was In view OF the
judges OF the race.
Sun Plume went right on 10 VIC
tory and the boys lost their $4,000.
The race was run on April LIST OF
last year, and II became apparent as
Keppler testified, that q race horse
had perhaps pulled the greatest
April Fool Joke Of 1899.
Keppler also admitted feeding

Lover, Victorious Sam and several
other horses whom several OF the

Granger Participates
In Simon's Lecture

The 1irst lecture Of . series on
modern music being given by DR..
Heirich Simon at the Warrington
College Of Music, to be continued ON
subsequent Mondays. took place last
night, distinguished by the presence
and assistance Of Percy Grain9er,
celebrated pianist and composer.
The informality Of the event
greatly contributed to its enjoyment,
both DR.. Simon and Mr.. Granger
changing places in their joint per-
formances Of several works on two
pianos, one or the other taking the
lead. In the same manner Mr..
Granger contributed to DR.. Simon's
talk by sketching Frederick Deiius'
career as a composer who, native
OF England, curiously enough re-
ceived his first lessons in composition
on this side Of the Atlantic, while
others sought education abroad.
Mr.. Granger referred to DR.. Simon
as being responsible for the cele-
bration of that composers Goth
birthday anniversary in Frankfort
by program Of his major compose

A British
Comedy
Top.Notch Cast in
AT Mrs. Beams
At Wardman
BY HARRY MACARTHUR.

That feather-brained dizziness
which marks the British drawing
room comedy thrives also in the
British clearinghouse, 1t seems. AT
any rate 1t thrives gaily in the
delirious London boardinghouse
parlor Mr.. william Girvan has
flung up on the Wardman Park

Civic Theater production OF AT
Mrs. Beams"
The G. K. Munro sketch, which
served as an Alfred Lunt-Lynn
Fontanne vehible a few years back,
Is, like every other British comedy,
light in every detail-light in its
comic touch and light on plot. It's
main concern is the consternation
which strikes Mrs. Beams parlor
when q pair Of new boarders who
claim to be Mr.. aad Mrs. Denham
turn out to be not that at all, but
Mr.. Denham and some one else.
and evildoers besides.
Last night the CONSERVATION, as
displayed In some of the insane
Munro lines and in top-notch play
ing by some of Civic's better comics.
was not too far short of hilarious.
1t will be closer to hilarious by the
time Director Day Tuttle has his
players whipping through it in at
least 20 minutes less time, "At
Mrs. Beams" being one of those
things which must be fired at an
audience so fast there is no op-
portunity to stop and think about it.
The cast should be quite up to
the task Of accelerating AT Mrs.
Beams" for 1t is an excellent cast.
There are veterans of Civic Theater
duty all about, but it is a young
lady who seems to be new to the
group who becomes the plays out
standing comedienne by a gem of
scene in the second act. Sarah
Meigs can have you holding your
sides just with her manner of say
ing: Eyes, oh yes, I expect So" And
that is something.
Very fine, also, is Rachel Sewall,

away with a large number of young

Gregory La Cava
Has an Anniversary

Primrose Path" might be called
Gregory La Cava's 20th anniversary
gift to the screen. With 1t he rounds
out two decades of work In Holly
wood as a director, eventful years
that have seen his maturing In and
mastery of the craft Of presenting
stories on the screen.
It is 40 years since La Cava turned
from newspaper cartoon1ng to
pioneer In the field Of the animated
cartoon. His penchAnt for having
q hand in the writing and particu-
larly the rewriting Of the stories as
signed him as q director can be
traced to an early phase Of his film
career. He came to Hollywood In
1921 to write comedies for Educa-
tional. He returned soon after to
New York to pen stories for
Comedian Johnny Hines, then went
back again to California to direct
two-reel comedies for Producer G. g.
! Burr.
