The Republican and Democratic parties enter the 1932 campaign with ‘publlclly organizations already wise in the ways of spreading partisan political | gospel. | Almost within sight of the White | House, these two bureaus have func- | tioned for nearly three years, with the | occupant of that imposing structure the | subject, pro and con, of many of the | broadsides from the mimeographs of the | two_parties. | With the installation of Charles JMlchtlson as chief of the Democratic 1.50 406 7th 81, N.W.

West as head of the Republican Bureau, old | methods of political propaganda dis- lnppeared Both were seasoned political | writers, having for years been corre- spondents here. { Methods Are Revised. The tactics of re-enforcing political faith with partisan information changed | almost overnight. Michelson and West | have aimed their shots at front pages and often as not landed. The old method of frankly spreading interparty news through the medium of the country press was abandoned. It was expensive. With a big name at its head, party propaganda found its way | on press association wires and into the ‘lelegrnph reports of the larger news- || ! papers at little cost to the party. These bureaus have become the sound- | ing board for Senators and Representa- | tives who feel the urge to denounce or praise. Here the chairmen of the vari- ous party committees see their political | thoughts whipped into such form that newspapers find them more acceptable than heretofore. Probably as many as three-fourths | of the statements issued from Michel- | son's and West's offices have been | under the names of Senators and Rep- resentatives. They have welcomed it. It cost them nothing in messenger | service, and very often they have nct had to think up the statement, it be- ing_written at headquarters and sent to them for approval. How They Point With Pride. When the Republicans decide to point with pride they issue a state- ment which begins in this sort of a manner: “In view of the statements attrib- uted to Senator So-and-so yesterday, Senator Whoossis today issued the fol- lowing reply.” Then comes the text. This statement is distributed to_all the news bureaus in Washington. The press associations scan it carefully and write it for what it is worth. The Democratic newspapers play it down or ignore it, and the Republican press sends it in full. ‘The reverse happens when the Dem- ocrats decide to point with alarm. Exact Accounts Lacking. While a substantial portion of the party expenditures go for publicity, no exact accounting of that item has been kept. Periodic reports have to be made to Congress on the dollars going out from the National Committee head- quarters. Last year, an off year, the Republican Committee spent " $: Democrats $1,030,486. gressional election yea MAURICE J. cans spent $743,949, and the Demo- OLBER mc_ | cratic Committee $612,647. | In addition to making and meeting 1908 M St. N.W.

TAMMANY AVOIDS ROOSEVELT BREAK “Tiger” Reported Reconciled to Possible Removal of Sheriff Farley. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 20.—Tam- | many, which claims it will control nearly 100 votes in the Democratic Na- | tional Convention, is reported to be | reconciled to the possible ousting of | one of its powerful chieftains, Sheriff | Thomas M. Farley, by Gov. Franklin | D. Roosevelt, candidate for the presi- dential nomination. Political observers also saw evidence that Tammany will not precipitate an open break with the Governor if he decides Farley must drop his title be- | | cause of some $250,000 in unexplained | bank deposits. { Sheriff Farley Limself sald yesterday | from a hospital bed that his organiza- | tion—and he controls a big Tammany section—will back the Governor to the limit of its resources if he gets the nomination, regardless of what action Roosevelt may take on the Farley charges. “I'm a 100 per cent Democrat,” Farley | said, “and if the organization backs him in the convention and he is nom- inated, T'll carry on as hard a cam- paign dor him as I have for other party candidates.” Frequent strain has been seen in the Tammany-Roosevelt relations during an inquiry into the Tammany-controlled municipal government by order of the Republican-controlled Legislature. Three times the Governor himself has been projected into the Iore(mnt‘ by requests that he pass judgment on | Tammany_kingpins—Mayor James J. | Walker, District Attorney Thomas C. T. Crain and now Sheriff Farley. Each time there has been talk of an open split between Roosevelt and the Manhattan organization, but it never has occurred. In the other two cases the charges were dismissed by the Governor, but this time it is predicted by those who attended the hearing of the Farley 'AR, WASHINGTON, HOOVER TO ENTER OHO PRIMARES Announcement by Postmas- ter General Removes Uncertainty. ___(Continued From First Page.) were battering away as the quest for instructed delegates went forward. There was every indication, with the Chief Executive ready to plunge into “personal politics,” that the big push which will have its end only in Novem- ber is on. Roosevelt Speaks at Buffalo. Sweeping into Western New York, Franklin D. Roosevelt, the party's lead- ing candidate at this time, combined two of the current national problems in an address at Buffalo. He relterated a previously expressed stand that State control of liquor would solve the prohi- bition question, and at the same time provide ample revenue for State govern- | ments that desired to license the dis- tribution of intoxicants. Those were the only allusions to national affairs made by the New York chief executive, who has 24 delegates instructed for Gov. William H. Murray of Oklahoma, who yesterday formally placed himself in the face by plans to enter the Georgia preferential primary, received the formal indorsement of the State convention. In reply, he said he had no desire for the presidency, but would be a candi- date for the Democratic nomination if the demand “became strong enough as evinced by the attitude of Democrats in various States.” Murray already is entered in the North Dakota primary against Roose- velt, with whom he will also contest in Georgia. At the same time, the third avowed candidate for the Democratic leader- ship, Gov. Albert C. Ritchie of Mary- land, was equally busy. He moved into Michigan in company with a group of ardent supporters for a series of speeches. Byrd Given Indorsement. ©On the Southern front the movement to place the name of Harry F. Byrd. former Governor of Virginia, before the National Convention was given impetus by the State Committee's in- dorsement. In Florida the differences between || Roosevelt and Jouett Shouse, chairman of the party’s National Executive Com- mittee. over whether delegates should be left uninstructed. took a new turn. Shouse, who favors leaving the conven- tion free to choose the nominee, hailed || as a_victory for Democracy the action of the Florida State Executive Com- mittee in resolving that the State's delegates may depart from their in- structed status on a vote of two-thirds of the delegation. He said this shows Florida Democrats | willing to compromise, if compromise is necessary, in the selection of a nominee. By entering the Ohio primary Mr. Hoover will be placed squarely in the campaign race. This fact is estab- lished because the election laws of Ohio require s candidate to signify his intentions in writing. When Mr. Hoover does this he will be sounding the first gun of his forthcoming politi- ||| | cal battle. Pleased By Indorsement.

The Texas Re- | publican ieader was not quite 50| optimistic about the President's chances in the Lone Star State as was the Postmaster General regarding Ohlo He sald, however, that the party is well organized and will make a good fight, but he would not make any claims about carrying the State next November for Mr. Hoover without say- ing that success would depend on the Democrats doing “certain things.” He sald with emphasis that if the Demo- crats do these ‘“certain things,” there is some hope for Republican victory there. Col. Creager did not care to explain what he meant by “certain things,” but it is understood that he referred to the possible candidacy of Alfred Smith of New York. Col. Creager seemed more hopeful of the party's success in the coming gubernatorial campaign. He stated that it looks very probable that “Ma” Ferguson would capture the Demo- cratic nomination for Governor and that in his opinion this would mean surely the election of a Republican Governor of Texas.

TG BLAMED INPLOT | T0 MASSACRE SIX Texas Town to Have Been Seized With Killing of Offi- cials, Rangers Charge. By the Assoclated Press. EDINBURG, Tex., February 20.—The days of six-gun government among the Texas border were remembered tonight while 16 citizens of the little town of Donna stood accused of planning to seize control there by a wholesale kill- | ing cf Democratic office holders. And, as in the days of long ago, it was the Texas Rangers who rode into the center of trouble to quiet things. Ranger Capts. Frank Hamer and A. R. Mace arrested eight men, all members of the “Good Government Party” and charged them with conspiracy to com- mit murder. Eight others were sought. The rangers said three of the accused have admitted plotting the hired ing of six Democratic office hol Their death reputedly was to be followed by seizure of the city administration of Donna, and the Donna water disirict. George W. Ruthven, Luther Lepley and Stokes Cheney were declared by the State law enforcement officers to have made statements admitting par- ticipation in the plot. Others held in neighboring Starr County on the conspiracy charges are W. H. McClelland, former Donna City Commissioner; Walter Van Allen and A. F. Dargel, farmers, and L. E. Schultz and E. J. Farnsworth. tence had been appealed, John Kazarim, 23, condemned convict, took his own | life here today. Two towels, fastened | to the head of the bed, were twisted | around the neck. ! McClelland, Van Allen and Dargel were released on $1,500 bond each. They had been held with the other five men under arrest in the Starr County Jail in Rio Grande City.
