PARTY DEAD Asserts Roosevelt Will Be| Re-elected in 1936 Unanimously WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.— The first sign of internal rivalry in the | Democratic Party, since the elec- tion victory, appeared today with certain northern Democrats open- | ing a drive to capture the Speaker- ship of the House, for which the South is contending. The Northern Democrats con- tend and declare the South has been in the saddle for four years because it held a majority and had the leadership and prominent chairmanships of all major com- | mittees. The Northern Democrats | now are asking for more power as they have more seats than the South, N. Y. After Place | Representative Martin Kennedy, | Tammany Democrat, who disclosed | the Northern drive, said he be- | lieves “New York is entitled to| the Speakership.” | This Speakership talk topped the | list of other developments. Postmaster General James A. Farley, Chairman of the Democrat- ic National Committee, predicted Roosevelt will be re-elected in lflifii by a verdict “practically umani- mous and the Republican Party is positively through.” A. L. L. Gets Busy The American Liberty League, quiet before the election, has jump- ed into the picture with President Jouett Shouse saying.the League will launzh this month a drive for a million members. Senator Robert M. LaFollette, re- elected in Wisconsin, plans a lec- ture tour of the country to teil the people of the economic princi- | ples that prompted him to start a | new Progressive Party. Too Busy To Talk President Roosevelt still remains silent on the outcome of the elec- tion and continued to attack the Budget, Relief and Public Works problems. FLANDIN'S NEW CABINET IS N SADDLEFRANCE Government Takes Quick Action—No Bloody Riots PARIS, Nov. 9.—The swiftly or- ganized French Cabinet of Eti- enne Flandin, forged ahead of the specter of National strife which the country watched quietly the chief plans for economic revival and reduction of unemployment. No violent disorders followed former Premier Doumergue’s down- fall, Fears of troubles similar to the bloody riots of last February were dissipated when the new govern- ment took the saddle and immedi- ately ordered out heavy police squads which remained at strate- gic points in Pawis. No attempts were made to start any rioting of any -consequence. Royalists undertook several dem- onstrations but they petered out under a rain of police fists. Fifty arrested were later releas- ed and told to go to their homes and remain there, or -else keep quiet if on the streets. FRED ORDWAY CLOSES HIS FRONT ST.

(Associated Press Photo) 600D NEWS BAY DISTRICT SAD T0 LODK 600D Output of Platinum Dur- ing Last Season Is Satis- factory, Engineer Says Considerable work was done In the Good News Bay district dur- ing the last summer and a satis- factory amount of platinum was taken out, considering the short season, according to Winstrom Spencer, engineer with the North- land Development Company, who arrived in Juneau early this week. It is a platinum placer district and the company, which is almost entirely Alaska owned, leased con- siderable property which it took over early this spring. Owing to the delay in shipment caused by the waterfront strike in Seattle, the equipment did not arrive at Good New Bay until early in July. It was a month later before camp construction was completed and operations could begin, Mr. Spen- cer said. The company took in a drag line and had a crew of about fifteen men working until October 26, when work stopped for the season. Though he did not state the amount of platinum taken out during the short season, Mr. Spen- cer declared that, considering their late start it was very satisfac- tory and that the company would resume operations early next June. In addition to the Northland Development Company, there are about five individual operators in the Good News Bay district, though in Mr. Spencer's opinion it is not property that lends itself to profit- able individual development. He expects to remain in Juneau during the winter months and to return to Good News Bay in the spring. LIGHTHOUSE BOAT ARRIVAL IS ONLY HARBOR ACTIVITY Although ' there was one visit from a deep-sea vessel and a cer- tain amount of local movements, Juneau's waterfront was generally quiet yesterday and this morning. However, this afternoon at b5 o'clock, the Northland was ex- pected from Seattle. The Cedar, United States Light- house Service boat, berthed at the Government Dock yesterday after- noon for supplies. She left at 10 o'clock this morning. Southbound, are the Yukon, which is expected to arrive here Monday, and the Northland, due out, probably, Sunday on return from Sitka.
