" - + NEW DEAL INVITES HODVER CANDIDACY ;Farley and Guffey Attack Former President—Cabinet Shifts Rumored. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. ‘While rumors of important changes In President Roosevelt’s cabinet swept fabout Washington, two of the Presi- ~+dent's principal political spokesmen— Postmaster General Farley and Sena- i tor Guffey of Pennsylvania—replied “last night to the recent New York ispeech in which former President @ Hoover attacked the New Degl. In effect, they invited another # Roosevelt-Hoover contest for the pres- # idency. ¢ Meanwhile the cabinet reports had ~it that Attorney General Cummings Zbefore long would step out and Sen- tator Robinson of Arkansas, veteran Sleader of his party in the Senate, “would be appointed in Cummings’ “ place. Friends of the Attorney General * discounted the report, insisting there was no disposition on the part of the President to have Cummings leave. Senator Robinson frequently has been mentioned as a probable appointee to the Supreme Court, whenever a va- cancy occurs. The suggestion that he “be appointed Attorney General held also the implication that this would be & stepping stone to a later appoint- sment to the bench. Originally Slated for Philippines. Cummings was the President’s {choice originally to become Governor . General of the Philippine Islands. On the death of Senator Walsh of Mon- tana, just before the inauguration of | President Roosevelt, the President .picked Cummings to take the post of Attorney General, for which Walsh had been slated. At the time, it was said the appointment of Cummings might be temporary. | Cummings, however, fitted into the office so well nothing has been done. Senator Robinson comes up for re- nomination and re-election next year. .+ Not long ago the “cabinet makers” in + Washington had Cummings leaving to turn to the private practice of law, vith Senator Barkley of Kentucky as | *his successor as Attorney General.. Apparently the Democratic high .command deems it necessary to make ireply to the campaign which Mr. % Hoover has launched against the New ‘Deal. ‘Democratic National .+ speaking last night in Portland, Oreg., “and Senator Guffey, chairman of the ! :Democratic Senatorial Committee, . speaking here over the radio, aimed shafts at the former President. Both insisted Hoover was the logical Re- ublican nominee for President—the ntithesis of the New Deal. 2 “Exponent of Old Regime.” “Within the last few days,” said Tarley, “the foremost political ex- ponent of the old regime has renewed his prophecies of disaster in the event o: the continuance of the Roosevelt administration. “It is a curious position in which Mr. Hoovr finds himself. He does ~not admit that he is a candidate for ‘e comeback. But he rushes up and down the country conferring with | every one on the Republican side who had or has influence in that party’s councils.” Referring to Hoover's recent stric- tures on the Roosevelt reciprocal trade agreement with Canada, Farley said: “We will gain by increased business, vastly more than we give up, which sounds to me like a pretty good bar- gain, and yet I note that Mr. Hoover sarcastically describes the incident as affording the more abundant life—for Canada. “The former President’s own ad- ventures with the tariff, the apologies he made for signing an exorbitant _ tariff bill in the face of the protest of every economist in the country, hardly | " qualify him as an expert in such mat- T ters. But it was the act of Roosevelt - end, therefore, in his opinion, all { wrong. % ‘No, I do not know that Herbert 2 Hoover 1s to be the standardbearer of . the Republican party next year. ¥ have yet to read anywhere any dis- « claimer of his ambition in that direc- jtion. It is, of course, none of my < business whom the Republicans nomi- 7 nate, but it does seem to me that Mr, ;Hoover‘a nomination would be quite »logical. He represents more closely %than any other individual the phi- 71mophy of those who are assailing the « Roosevelt policies.” # Extolling the A. A. A. and what it +has done for the farmers of the West, » Farley continued: " _ “It so happens that control of the « Republican party is vested in the East. +It has always been so. Consequently +it is only fair to assume that if the " East dictates the candidate and the :plnt!orm of the next Republican con- 5 vention & repeal of the agricultural . legislation will be one of the principles advocated.” Reassures Business. { Chairman Farley took occasion to “#ay the President and the Democrats i “Nobody is seeking a change in our ysystem of government,” he empha- ~sized. “Nobody is seeking to take the * profit motive out of business. It must be plain to every citizen with a ca- = pacity to think at all that the success sof any administration is wrapped up fin the same package with the success ;ol business generally.” # TFarley declared the results of the L elections on November 5 showed Presi- fdent Roosevelt as strong or stronger ;::an he l:“ when he was voted into . the presidency, and that he _,overwhelming:: n~el=‘<‘:“bed< e + Taking as text Democrati yin Pennsylvania, Senator cG?flkel; :~wwked around to Hoover.

Cuffey’s claims of Democratic con- trol of Pennsylvania and predictions of Democratic victory there next year left nothing to be desired from the Demo- cratic point of view. He read into the recent elections in Philadelphia, Pittsbnurgh and other places in the State sure proof that Pennsylvania had definitely left the Republican column and could be counted upon to give its electoral votes to Roosevelt | next year. He explained the election | of the Republican candidate for mayor } in Philadelphia as follows: | “In Philadelphia’ the Republican | bosses were so desperate that they 1' were forced to accept a registered | Democrat, who had built up his polit- | ical following by supporting the New | Deal, as their candidate for mayor. | After spending the largest slush fund in its history, rushed to it from Wall | Street and from the big business lead- ers of the Republican national organi- zation in all parts of the country, the Republican party in Philadelphia squeezed through with a bare majority. | (The majority was approximately 147.000) This in a city that had been | the backbone of the Republican party, | not only in the State, but in the Na« | tion, for more than 50 years. Returns indicate that the majority is only a few thousands more than the Republi- can party has represented in the 21,- 279 employes on the city and county | pay rolls. | Four-Year Vote Reviewed. | “Only four years ago the Demo- | cratic candidate for mayor of Phila- | delphia polled a mere 30,820 votes. i There years ago Philadelphia gave | President Roosevelt 260,276 votes. Last | vear Gov. Earle received 324,143. This | year the tidal wave swept on to an all- | time high of 331,125 Democratic | | votes.” . other hand, insist the defeat of the Democratic mayoralty candidate, John B.

Neither do I take time to again express, as I have often expressed it by word and act, my horror of lynching, further than to say that if the Federal Gov- ernment is to deal with the sub- ject, it can only do so by an amend- ment to the Constitution of the United States.” Borah did not suggest that he would not be a candidate. In fact, he said he would let the association’s assump- | tion “that I am a candidate for the presidency” stand “for the purpose | of this letter.” Earlier, the Borah movement re- ceived further impetus when Repre- sentative Lemke, Republican, of North Dakota, who supported President Roosevelt in 1932, said the Idaho Senator was “the only candidate so far prominently mentiened who could get the support of the farmers of the West for the Republican nomina- tion.” Lemke’s statement, capping | hour’s conference with Borah, was re- | garded significantly. So was an an- | nouncement that the Senator would | open a drive for liberalizing the Re- publican party in a Nation-wide radio | broadcast December 7. | This will be the first of a series of speeches by Borah in the Eastern and Middle Western States before the | opening of Congress in January. His {riends expect him to challenge the | established leadership of the party in these addresses. The Association for the Advance- | ment of Colored People, in its letter to Borah, said he held “the somewhat | dublous honor of having been the exe- cutioner of two distinctly hopeful op- portunities” for stamping out lynching. Citing a number of lynchings within | recent months, the letter asked: “Do you feel proud of your handi- | work, Senator Borah?” | Then citing the power of colored voters in some of the border and | Northern States, the letter added: “There are many Americans, Sena- | tor Borah, who no Jonger believe in the sincerity of members of the Senate STILL BUILT BY THE KIMBALLS Drive Piano Distribution in_Years AS DEALERS BUT AS MANUFACTURERS s WE ASSURE YOU == FEW DAYS REMAIN FOR SECURING QUALITY PIANOS At Prices It Will Soon Cost to Build Them who forget States’ rights when such issues as prohibition are being dis- cussed, but who wrap about themselves the mantle of ‘constitutionality’ when the lives of human beings are taken by lawless mobs.” Borah made public the association’s letter together with his reply in which he ‘sald he confined himself “to a simple answer to what I consider a corrupt and shameless question.” | his views on the consti~ tutionality of such measures as the Costigan-Wagner bill, Borah said: “Whatever may happen in the fu- ture politics of this country, so far as my position on the question presented by these measures is concerned, it will not be changed or even modified.” The Costigan-Wagner bill would empower a Federal court to try any member of a lynching mob if it be- came apparent the State was lax in prosecution or if jurors obtainable for service in a State court manifestly were opposed to punishment for the lynching. Any county or city in which mob violence occurred would be subject to a fine of from $2,000 to $10,000, which would be pald the injured person or his estate.
