RASKOB ASSAILED ASALLY OF RICH Urges Liquor Instead of Bread, Declares C. M. Hay of Missouri. By the Associated Press MOUNTAIN GROVE, Mo, April 11. —Charles M. Hay, Democratic nominee for United States Senator in 1928, to- night described Chairman John J. Raskob of the Democratic National Committee as “‘a high priest of privilege and concentrated wealth.” Hay, a Missourl dry leader, assailed Raskob at a Jefferson day dinner here. The people have turned to the Demo- cratic party for “deliverance from the injustices of the rule of property,” he declared, but instead of finding “a Jef- ferson, a Jackson, a Cleveland, or a Wilson to answer their cry, they find at the head of the party a former mem- ber of the Union League Club; a scion and secretary of the house of Dupont; a mouthpiece of mammon; a high priest of privilege and concentrated wealth.” Farmers, laborers, small business men, victims of the tariffs, of combines and extortions, call to him for relief for intolerable economic ills. He sug- gests, in answer, that they first deter- mine the percentage of alcohol to go in their drink. They cry for bread; he demands that they blubber for beer. They call for a full dinner pail; he in- sists they ask for a can with foam on ;t. ‘They demand jobs; he suggests ags.” Hay said Raskob “wants the tariff fight abandoned, the Sherman anti- trust law repealed, the power trust let alone and business set free from all governmental interference.

Theoretically only local issues are involved, but actually it is considered a test vote between Republi- cans and Monarchists. Troops are confined to barracks throughout the nation and heavy police and civil guard forces are in readiness to cope with possible out- breaks. Roughly about 50,000 aldermen will be chosen in nearly 10,000 munici- palities. In some places as many as 20 party tickets are contesting.

"This consists of district elections on May 3 for local provincial counsels and general elections in the Jatter part of June for representatives to Congress, which is supposed to con- vert itself into a constitutional conven- tion to decide whether Spain shall be & monarchy or a republic. ‘There is much uncertainty among political observers as to whether such a4 program can be carried out. If the Republicans make & poor showing to- | morrow the left wing faction may ab- stain in parliamentary elections. Such abstention wrecked the government of Gen. Damasco Berenguer. Irrespective of this, Teports persist that Premier Juan Aznar's cabinet may have a shake-up soon.
