The president's speech was
broadcast to numerous similar
dinners la other cities. At these
the cover charge waa not so high
but still mounted in soma cases
to $26 and ?50.
The dinner here found all of
the elite of the new deal in at
tendance aad - many- more who-
aare been on frequent occasions
at odds with the president and his
polleietY such as Senator George
of Georgia whom Mr. Roosevelt
sought to defeat in laat summer's
primary election.
The president sat between vice
President Garner and Speaker
Bankhead and throughout the din
ner engaged in a constant and ap
parently, from the gesturing of
the two, very aerioua discussion
with Garner.
TJpoa the president's arrival
there was a sustained ovation
which reached a climax of "rebel
yells' and handclapplng, when

leading conservative democrats in
tne senate, mrew nis arm aooui
the president's shoulders. The
crowd recognised the possible
symbolism ot the gesture.
There was frequent applause,
too, throughout his address.
At a table not far away from i
the chief executive, was Mrs.
Roosevelt, who proved aa appro-1
dative and attentive listener, 1
laughing heartily at his numerous I
witticisms.
Mr. Roosevelt made an lnterpo-1
lation in his prepared address at
one point to give added force to 1
his plea for nnity. He was telling j
of a fanciful radio conversation
wtth Andrew Jackson and what

Warns That Party

The president warned, too, that

pie If it was to remain in power,
If - "nominal democraU" are
convinced that the party should
be "conservative," he aald, thea
that issne were best fought out I
within the party. But he added I
that the prospects of such a bat- I
tie had been greatly exaggerated I
by the republican opposition. I
"Daring recent rears, reoubll- I
can impotence has caused power-1
ful Interests, opposed to genuine I
democracy, to push their way in-
to the democratic party, hoping
to paralyse it by dividing its eoun
cUs. he president said.
"The first effect of the gains
made bv the renublican nartr in
the recent elections should be to
restore to it the .onen. allegiance
of hosa who i entered one sri.
marie and party councils with
party's unity and effectiveness.
"The second effect of these
gains should be to brine as real
democrats together and to line up
with us those from other parties, I
those who belong to no party at
all, who also preach the liberal
gospel, so that, firmly allied, we
may continue a common construct
ive service to the people of the
country.
"For if these Independent vot- I
era have the conviction that the
M A . . mm m m
Democratic party win remain a
liberal party, they will be the first
to perceive what I here and now
prophesy: that . the republican
leadership, conservative at heart.
