of President Roosevelt and drew rousing applause with the remark that "for the first time in history, the party In power was able to i fulfill every one of Its campaign | pledges." Van Nuys outlined acta of the special session of congress and called President Roosevelt the "greatest peace time president the nation ever has had." lie warned that America can expect little cooperation from abroad in solving Its economic difficulties. "America's problems must be solved by Americans,” he said. "This calls for a united, unselfish and patriotic national spirit. We have learned that the interests of the small business man, the I laborer, the industrialist and the | farmer are so inextricably interwoven that there must be no dickerings or group jealousies among these component parts of our national strength." Van Nuys salt! the national administration had fulfilled all its campaign promises, including legalization of beer. He predicted that the 18th amendment will be I repealed in a short time. "We as a nation should profit I socially, morally and financially through repeal of the federal liq- ! uor laws.” he concluded. During the meeting names of at 1 least five men were mentioned fre- ! quently as candidates for United ' States senator. They included I Peters, Clarence E. Manion, Notre I Dame law professor; Sherman i Minton, public counselor of the I public service commission; Thomi as D. Taggart, son of the former Democratic national committee- | man anrf Frank Dailey, Bluffton. Mention of Dailey's name met with favor among many of the Democrats. He made an impressive run for governor several years ago and is said to have ■ backing of the McNutt men. Tagj gart would be considered more , seriously if he were from northern - Indiana, the locality of which I Democratic leaders api>arently 1 have selected as the producer of their senatorial candidate. Selection of a successor to Peters as Democratic state chairman also occupied much of the time in hotel room conferences. Clarence A. Jackson, administraI tor of the gross income tax law | and Janies D. Adams, chairman of i the state highway commission, ' received the most support. Organized Diamond Hunt Is Underway Oroville, Cal.

Holds Project Would Prove Aid Asserting that, with railroad support. the club's contentions have been nullified. Mrs. Jenckes added that flood control, instead of handicapping track elevation, would be an aid, since overflow would be prevented.

Downs, president 'of the company, headed the list of telegrams. James S.
