The general tenor of opinions i gathered by the United Press from representative bankers and industrialists was optimistic. It seems to be agreed that the change in political administrations. although it is emphasized ! that cooperation from all parties and all classes will be essential from now until the upturn has been strongly demonstrated. “I can see no reason why (changing of administrations i should halt our progress toward I business recovery.” «ald P.

Roosevelt has a hatful of prominent names from which to select la cabinet, add accordingly he faces a difficult task in picking his official family. He will proceed slowly and cautiously. The country is de manding tried and experienced men, well informed on current problems. The President-elect may not amnounce his cabinet until the eve of inauguration, save for secretary of state and secretary of, treasury, whom he may designate earlier to assure this country ( and foreign nations that these! Important posts will be satisfac-| torily filled. Though Mr. Roosevelt has had' the aid of many Republicans of the progressive and independent stamp in his campaign, he is expected to select a strictly Democratic cabinet. He will reward the Republicans in other ways. Mr. Roosevelt’s cabinet will be a representative one In that It will draw from all sections of the country. The professional “cabinet makers” are picking many New Yorkers but the United Press was authoritatively informed there probably will be only one New Yorker in the official family, or two at the outside.

EARL CRAWFORD IS CONTENDER ( , Milton Democrat Is Outstanding For Speaker Os Indiana House Indianapolis, Nov. 10. - ((J.R) Earl Crawford, Milton, today appeared as the outstanding contender for speakership of the Indiana House of Representatives although he was not conceded the position without likelihood of skirmishes with other aspirants. Crawford, a power in the 1931 and special sessions, was defeated by Walter Myers, Indianapolis, for the position in 1931. Subsequently he was named caucus chairman. His re-election in voting Tuesday virtually unsurwd him of strong consideration for the powerful post. In addition, it was pointed out, he I probably will have the support of :R.

DRY LEADERS TO FIGHT ACTION r I 1 Promise Battle to Defeat Wet Drive For Beer In Short Session i —-— Washington, Nov. 10—(UP) — Members and mmbers elect of the House today were sent a letter by representative O’Connor, Democrat of New York, co-author of the beer bill which was defeated last session asking their views on proposed modifi- ! cation of the Volstead act to permit the manufacture and sale of beer. i New York, Nov. 10 —(yp) — Dry leaders today promised battle to ■ defeat the wet drive fur beer in the short session of congress. The ■ forces concerned acknowledged [ that the jubilant wet slogan “beer ‘ by Christmas" represents an objective practically unobtainable. Rut the new congress which meets next year is overwhelming-1 ly wet as well as Democratic. The I dispute over beer is whether it; shall be legalized tills winter ui i next year. Drys count on their phalanx of ■ lame duck prohibitionists to block ( 1 short session beer bills. The congiess which meets next month was i dry by large majorities in both ( houses on beer votes last session, i ( House and senate Democratic | leaders, however, promise immed-1 iate beer in conformity with the Democratic platform pledge. Wets < of both parties are eager to co-op- ( * erate to modify the Volstead act ( at once. But the prospect is for ( bitter, protracted dispute. Among ’ hitherto dry Democrats, some of ( whom support the national wet j platform plank reluctantly, there is t doubt about the alcoholic content ( which would be consistent with the! 18th amendment. Senators and congressmen re-( plying to telegraphic United Press inquiries reflected all shades of. ■ prohibition opinion. The diverg- ( ence of their views demonstrated the certainty of sharp controversy | this winter centering around the question of what alcoholic content should be permitted without violat- ’ ing the constitution. Leaders of wet organizations interpreted the election as a mandate ’ for immediate modification and re- ( peal. Jouett Shouse, presidtnt of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, said that in the II states in which referendums were held Tuesday there had been a definite trend toward repeal. l Rufus S. Lusk, of the crusaders,: estimated that referendum results 1 showed that stales eentaining 53. ( 1000,000 persons have protested prohibition in one way ur another.
