Activity Infuenee Delegates Cause A
Split At Democratic Convention
(By The Associated Press)
NEW YORK. June 21—Five prominent anti-Roose
velt democrats headed by Alfred E. Smith suggested
“putting aside Franklin D. Roosevelt” and the substi
tution of some “genuine democrat”, in a signed state
ment addressed to the delegates of the Democratic
National Convention. The statement also suggested to
the delegates that he be an “American, rather than
anything else and tyke the heavy hand of government
off business and put and end to the campaign now un
der full swing to buy the presidency by the misuse of
funds generously given by the people of the United
States to alleviate want and distress, and preserve the
constitution and have under it three separate and dis
tinct independent branches of government.”
In addition to Smith’s statement it was signed by
Bainbnidge Colby, former U. S. senator from Missiouri;
Joseph B. Ely, former governor of Massachusetts; Dan
iel F. Cohalan, of New York, and former Justice of the
State Supreme Court
Jeers For Smith Heard Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA, June 22—New Deal hosts rolled
into town in a colorful convention array, shouting
cheers for Roosevelt and jeers for another one time
party nominee. Smith. The barrage of scorn, sarcasm
and ridicule fell on Smith for his direction of his last
night’s statement asking that Roosevelt and his policies
be repudiated at the convention opening here tomor
row. but apparently the delegates have no intention of
following Smith’s advice.
Roosevelt’s domination of the convention is con
ceded. The party platform is being written in the
White House, and the administration’s proposal to
change party nominating rules are expected to triumph
easily. Governor Lehmann of New York, renewed his
pledge for full faith in Roosevelt, and said that the
Smith Group “expressed the sentiment of only a hand
ful of democrats.”
Gov. Talniadge Favor Anti-New Dealers
ATLANTA, June 22—Governor Talmadge urged
Smith and other discontented democrats to “line-up
with me on my plan to fight the new deal Roosevelt
within the party. I’m a party man, I’m opposed to
Roosevelt being the nominee. I’m opposed to his pol
icies; I think I’ve been of great assistance to the peo
ple an bringing cases to the Supreme Court in the name
of the State of Georgia, in order to defeat certain new
deal policies, but want it understood that I’m in the
Democratic Party and there to stay. The best thing
that Smith and others can do is to line-up with me.”
Talmadge is undecided whether he will attend the
convention or send his secretary there as an observex,;
but “I’ll be there in three hours if I can serve my coun
try and party.”1

(By The Associated Press)
POUGHKEEPSIE. June 22—Washington fresh
men won the first race a length ahead of California; the
Navy was third, in a six crew two mile race. At one

and came on to win the race.
LEMKE TO DEPEND
SUPPORT RENEGADE
DEMOS AND GOP’S
Officials 2 Major Parties Had Nothing
Sav Regarding Possibilities Lemke
In Fall Presidential Race, Today
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, June 22—Confronted with Rep
resentative William Lemke’s candidacy on a third party
ticket, the major party leaders sought to figure out how
many votes he would get and from whom he would
gain the most support. The first to come to the- support
of Lemke’s fifteen point platform was Father Coughlin
who called upon his national union for social justice, to
follow Lemke’s bandwagon. The democratic and re
publican national committees are silent on the matter.
Howard Y. Williams, national organizer of the Far
mer-Labor Party, labelled the candidacy as a "tragic
mistake and that the voice of Lemke was the hand of
Hearst.”
Dr. Townsend said, whether or not support will be
given Lemke, it will be determined at the Townsendite
Convention at Cleveland, July 15th to 19th.
Father Coughlin said: “Behind the new party he
will rally agriculture, labor, disappointed republicans*
outraged democrats, independents, merchants, indus
trialists and every liberty lover, desiring to eradicate
cancerous growths from decadent capitalism to avoid
the treacherous pitfalls of communism. Neither old
nor new dealer it appears has the courage to a. sail in
ternational bankers, but in common both major parties
uphold the old money philosophy today in America—
'he only one political party—the Bankers Party, com
posed of both old parties, which are determined to sham
battle their way through election, hoping that million ;
of citizens will be driven into Nomansland and financial
bondage.”

Secret Plans Of
Navy Programs
(Bv The Associated Press)
LONDON. June 22. — Soviet
Rugsia has won its argument for
complete secrecy of the strength
of its far eastern warship fleet,
it was understood today.
British experts, negotiating
with Russian naval men for a
treaty which would complement
the British-French-American nav
al treaty, have agreed that be
cause of the posgible menace of
Japan, Russia in certain circum
stances might conceal both its
existing naval strength and its
building programs on the Pacific
Coast
But it is provided that unlesg
Japan starts a naval race in big
type ships,specifically battleships
Russia’s far eastern fleet shall be
kept within the limit of the Brit
igh, French and American treaty
which was concluded last March
twenty-fifth.
