B00THE ASSERTS
COP FUTURE DARK
Says If Party Does Not Soon
Recover Will Never Elect
Another President

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-R)-Clare
Boothe, author and playwright, told
members Of the National Republican
club at their annual Lincoln day
dinner tonight that eff the Republi.
can party does not soon recover
some measure of its historic robust
health, it will never again elect an
other President"
PERSONALLY, I would like very
much tonight, just to be able to
thump the Republican party heart
lily on the back" Miss Boothe said
in a prepared address. But if moth
ing else, a comparative regard for
the consumptive state Of it's consti-
tuition must stay even the friendliest
hand.'
Miss Boothe shared speaking hon
ors with Wendell Willkie, the party's
1910 presidential candidate, whose
remarks were extemporaneous.
She said it mad been an American
custom always to save America in
presidential years, and foreign ma
tions in off ones.
And every year at this Lincoln
day dinner, it is conventional for
the speakers-in the nick of time-to
save the Republican party" she
went on.
"You have here tonight, a man
who is, of course, really up to that
job. And I am sure if he is permit
ted by the fortunes of politics to
undertake it, even the most hide
bound old guardists will be behind
him-way behind him.
Miss Boothe said that historical
ly, ours has always been an active
and dynamic two-party system, and
the inescapable logic of the situation
is, that if the Republican party can
never elect another President, the
chances are, sooner or later, there
will be no more Presidents elected
in America"
She asserted that the Republican
party was destroying itself because
'it has become almost hopelessly
dedicated to opposition for opposi-
tons sake"
"It is acting almost entirely on
the childish premise that everything
the new deal does is wrong, and
the only question is: How wrong is
it,"

,,aatbod of handling watercolor.
comp of the paintings are. more
1,l,a nen and ink drawings with
washes of pure color laid on. The
no;rtinos are filled with charm
pnd fantasy that is refreshing. He
ofton uses accents of color with
deliberate simplicity though there
;s nothing naive about his ap-
nroach. in fact it is decidedly
ronbisticated. His is a tradition
based upon years of experience
from which he has seized and
placed on paper the essence of
tbe strangely personal.
His landscapes have a certain
similarity of scene though great
diversity in mood and treatment.
The still life compositions especial
" one called peaches in Glass"
have a warmth and richness of
color surprising in this medium.
His figure paintings are not so
well realized as his landscapes and
animals though the Head of a
Small Boy is simple in design
and fresh in color.
This exhibition was sent here
by the Federal Art project in
Washington, D. c., where it was
assembled by the national direc'
tor. Holger Cahill, and is splen-
did example of the fine exhibitions
available due to the museums con-
nection with the Works Projects
