Party Harmony Move
Seen in Jesse Jones'
plea 10 Texas GROUP

A move to restore harmony in the
ranks of Texas Democrats was seen
by political observers here today in
the plea of Secretary of Commerce
Jesse Jones for a settlement of the
wrangle over electors that would
give party members in the State an
opportunity to vote for the presi-
Dental ticket to be shaped at the
national convention.
In an editorial in his Houston
Chronicle yesterday, Mr.. Jones crit
icized the action. of the Texas State
Democratic presidential convention
in instructing its electors that they
were not to vote for the Chicago
nominee unless the national conven-
ton met certain conditions.
Asserting the ma jprity of Texas
voters in all probability will want
to vote for President Roosevelt or
whoever the Democratic nominee
may be, Mr.. Jones declared:
'All Democrats, including those
who participated in the Texas con-
vention and those who will partici-
pate in the national convention.
should cooperate in making this
possible and simple"
Two Alternatives Offered.
AS matters stand now, Texans in
November would have the alterna-
tive of voting for anti-Roosevelt
Democratic electors or Republican
electors, unless the national con-
vention meets the demands OF the
dissidents for certain platform con-
cessions.
An aid here of the Commerce Sec
retary said Mr.. Jones will support
President Roosevelt for reelection,
but will not go beyond that state
ment" in the Chronicle.
In another development reported
by the Associated Press from San
Antonio. Woodville Rogers said lead
ers of the "rump" convention would
be seated at the national conven-
ton.
In Dallas, E. B. Germany, leader
of the uninstructed antiadministra-
ton group, said AL informed people
know that Texas Democratic electors
are morally bound to carry out the
instructions of the State Democratic
party organization" In an interview
given the Dallas News, Mr.. Germany
asserted: Democratic electors are
State representatives and are there
fore bound to act as their State or
ganization directs as against the in
structions of any organization out
side the State
Secretary Jones first comment on
the dissension in Texas Democratic
ranks came as reports spread of
efforts to compose differences being
pressed by Myron G. Blalock, Texas
national committeeman.
Jones' Editorial Praised.
Asked in Austin If Jones state
ment was one of the steps in a
compromise plan, Mr.. Blalock said
he had no comment. In Chicago

were suspending all previous rules
on passage of bills and were re-
porting them out of committees

debate.

through the House for two
weeks before passage are now
being sent through in a single
day." he said.
Five Of the "a bills introduced
last week have been passed and
sent to the Senate. There has
been virtually no opposition. Ten
more are up for passage Monday
or Tuesday.
The legislators were disposed to
delay the governors bills embrace
ing his juvenile delinquency pro-
gram but their attitude changed
overnight.
The opposition developed Thurs
day over a simple bill allowing
boards Of supervisors to estab-
lish or contribute TO social CEN
tiers for boys and girls.
While the bill involved no ap-
preparations, legislators cast sus-
picious eyes upon it and prepared
TO tackle the youth program with
sharp investigating prongs.
But yesterday, however, they
passed the same bill without a
dissenting vote.

of the majority of Gov. kelly's
