Be charitable, A tight fist is likely By the Associated Press. i A group of leaders of the Hoover Democrats of Texas called on the Pres ident today to inform him that they had a real working arrangement with the Republican organization of the State, headed by R. B. Creager, national com- | mitteeman. Leading the group were former Gov. 0. B. Colquitt and Alvin Moody, chair- man of the Hoover democratic organiza- tion of the Lone Star State. They said patronage was not discussed, but Mr. Colquitt already has been recommended | for a position on the rallway mediation | board which has been held by former Gov. Pat Neff of Texas, whose renom- | ination failed of action at the last ses- | sion of the Senate, although favorably reported by the interstate commerce committee. Senator Moses of New Hampshire called at the White House during the forenoon to indorse Mr. Colquitt for | the place. The Creager organization also is supporting the former governor. ‘Members of the delegation said Mr, Hoover had expressed appreciation of the fine majority given him by Texas last November and intimated that it had come as a very pleasant surprise as he had been doubtful that Texas would | swing into the Republican column.

By the Associated Press. | EAST ORANGE, N. J,, March 7.—The { Senate was criticized by Senator Edge | | of New Jersey, in a speech here last | night, for the adoption of a resolution | to investigate the right of Secretary | Mellon to continue as head of the Treasury. | Speaking before the East Orange Re- | sublican Club, the Senator declared | that this evidence of senatorial med- | dling seemed to him to be adding to the burdens of the President, and, while it could have no detrimental effect upon Mr. Mellon, it was “unnecessary and almost_indefensible. On behalf of the:Senate, however. | | Edge said, the number of Senators vho | opposed the Secretary were so few that if the Treasury head's record ever | came to a vote it would be overwhelm- | ingly approved. | Reappointment Not Needed. “President Hoover, according to cus- tom, sent in the names of all new nom- inees for the cabinet, eight in all” the | Senator declared. “He having retained the services of the Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of Labor, Mr. Davis, under all rules and prece- dents, it was unnecessary for him to rename them. “The Senate knew this perfectly well They knew that the same policy exactly had been followed by President Coolidge when he retained the cabinet of Mr. Harding; that the same rule had been followed in the Roosevelt administra- tion,” when President Roosevelt was called upon to take up the work of Mc- Kinley. “Yet because of the opposition of a |EX-SENATOR CLAPP RITES TOMORROW Private Interment Will Place in Fort Lincoln Cemetery.
