FOR BATTLE IN

Coming Convention May
Steal Show From G. 0. P.
by Spectacular Fights
Over Leaders, Candidates
By Byron Price
WASHINGTON, June 10. (AP)
However pugnacious next week's re
publican national convention may be
come over prohibition, lt seems In
creasingly evident that the real 1033
award for sustained and hard-hitting
In-fighting will be won by the demo
crats when they get' together during
the last week of, June.
Not only Is there to be a last-ditch
battle over the candidacy of Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, but a. f Irs t-d itch
combat of real proportions now Is as
sured over the convention chairman
ship, and It la easy to foresee plenty
of excitement In between.
Country Sees Split
For the first time, the developments
of the present week have seen the
Rosevelt-antl-Roosevelt split set be
fore the country In all Its magnitude
By their decision to oppose Jouett
Shouse for permanent chairman the
Roosevelt managers raised an tasue
which the opposition shows every
sign of meeting directly.
There even are report that they
will put up a candidate against the
Roosevelt-pledged Senator Barkley of
Kentucky for temporary chairman,
They may not go that far, but there
la no question the Roosevelt move to
put Senator Walsh of Montana Into
the place for which Shouse was slated
has been aocopted by many on the
other side as a definite attempt to
read the whole Smlth-Raskob-Shouse
influence out of the convention pic-
ture, and that doea not set well at
all with Mr. Roosevelt's enemies.
Politicians Surprised
The decision to oppose Shouae sur
prised most politicians. Up to now,
the Rooeeveltian strategy has been al
most- wholly conciliatory. When Al
Smith made his celebrated thrust at
"demagogues," the reply waa softly-
worded. When Shouse was "commend
ed" by the arrangements committee
for chairman, lt waa Interpreted wide
ly as a .Roosevelt gesture of recognl

ernor Franklin D. Rosevelt'a pre-con-ventlon
campaign manager has Issued
what newspapers here Interpret aa a
warning to Tammany hall that Roose
velt can win the presidency without
Tammany aupport. I
So far Tammany haa not declared
for Roosevelt. It's chief city office
holder. Mayor Jamea J. Walker, !s
under fire and the decision whether
to remove him or clear him rests with
the governor. What effect, If any, the
Walker case will have on Tammany'a
choice for the presidency hss been
an object of much political conjec
ture, i
Jamea A. Fraley, democratlo state
chairman who Is managing the Roose
velt campaign, predicted last night
Rosevelt would be nominated on -the
first ballot at Chicago and would
win not less than 345. of tha 831 elec
toral votea at the election. This would
give him a aafe majority .without .the

FEDERAL RESERVE
WASHINGTON, June 10. (API
Representative McFadden (R., Pa.)
told the house today the federal re

"one of the most corrupt Institutions
the world ha ever known."
Taking the floor during debate on
President Hoover'a home loan bill,
the Pennsylvanlan launched Immedi
ately Into an attack on the reserve
banks.
"They have cheated the people and
the government of the United Btatea
out of enough money to pay tne na
tional debt," he said.

man being determines the type. As
certain as lt la that some eyes are

negative and some positive. In Roose.

As Roosevelt teneranws Smith Is spe.
cific. As Roosevelt loves to delay,
Smith loves action. Irresolution la
Ingrained In the one: boldness In tne
other. And the times plead despera
tely for boldness."
After contrasting Smith's Jefferson
day speech In Washington May 17
with Roosevelt's speech In St. Paul
May 33 declaring Smith's speech left
no doubt as to what he would do
were he at the helm, and describing
Roosevelt's speech as "columns of
graceful generalities," The editorial
continues:
"It is with regret that we say that
in Franklin D. Roosevelt we have an
other Hoover. For him In the begin
ning our hopea were high. But the
eventa that have occurred alnce
Roosevelt became governor of New
York have drawn the parallel be
tween the man In Albany and the
man In Washington. The parallel la as
Inescapable aa Is the contrast between
the Roosevelt-Hoover type and Smith.
"In our solemn Judgment, the elec
tion of either Herbert Hoover or
Roosevelt In November next would be
a blow from which this nation would
not recover la a generation.

One hundred men were working

All effort to pntch the levee with

the water tore the ground out from
