SHARP THRUSTS AT HOOVER Garner Tells Texans He Can Deal With President on Issues. DALLAS, Tex., July 19 (#).—John Nance Garner's sharp thrusts as Presi- dent Hoover for what he called “legis- lation for a select clientele,” brougnt forth cries of “pour it on" from an enthusiastic Texas crowd which greeted the Speaker and his wife at the train here yesterday. “This is the first time in more than 20 years I have made an electioneering speech,” he began, “and the first time in that interval I have addressed an audience outside of the House of Rep- resentatives. Either the people of my district have a lot of confidence in me or I fooled them so well in my first campaign more than 20 years ago that they have sent me back every term since then. “I want to convince every honest man and woman in the United States that the power of Government shculd be taken away from those who admin- ister it for the benefit of a privileged few,” he shouted. “I want to convince them that power should be placed in the hands of the party of which I am a member, the Democratic Party, to b2 edministered for the benefit of the American people as a whole.” Tells of Stormy Scenes. He recounted the stormy scenes in Congress during the last several weeks when the President twice vetoed bills the Speaker advocated, first disapprov- ing the measure which would have placed $100.000.000 at the disposal of the President for individual relief “I trusted the President enough to be willing to leave the distribution of that money to his judgment,” he said. ‘but he called it a ‘pork barrel measure.’ | ‘Then because I demanded that the Re- | construction Finance Corporation make | | public its use of $2,000,000,000 of the people’s property, he said in effect ‘no. that is for the benefit of my select clientele and the people must not know | what is done with it” We passed that measure anyway. I noticed by the morning newspapers he says he will study it a few days and ‘probably will sign it.’ He means he wants to have a few days in which to find out what Wall Street and J. P. Morgan think he should do about it.” the Speaker shouted. as the crowd responded with | a roar of “rebel yells.” | Ready to Tackle Hoover. “No man or woman can claim I said a word to advance myself as a candi- date for the Democratic presidential nomination,” Garrer continued. “But when my friends here in Texas and those in California decided I was fit timber to deal with Herbert Hoover, I assented to their wishes. I think now I may be big enough for that job, con- sidering his weakness and vacilation. I hold the most powerful position in this Government, excepting thad of the President of the United States. I ac- cepted the proposed vice presidential nomination with much hesitancy, for already we have whipped Hoover three times in Congress.” He said, “You people here in Texas don’t know how much better off you are than people in the larger cities of the East. where thousands are out of work and are hungry” Citing the huge appropriations to aid cgy and county governments contained %in the relief measure, he said, "I hope you people in Texas won't need to ask for a cent of that. I don't believe yvou want charity—all vou demand is an oppor- tunity to work.” 722 /7 The World’s Great AVIATION SHOWS GAINS HERE IN SIX MONTHS of Pilots Larger Than at Beginning of Year Despite Depression.
