DEMOCRAT STALWARTS OF PAST CAMPAIGNS WILL BE DISCARDED BY ROOSEVELT New Leaders Will Guide Party in White House Race; Appeal Will Re Aimed at South and West. RASKOB MAY GIVE WAY TO FARLEY McAdoo, Garner, Wheeler and Walsh Stand Out as Dominating* Figures in Revamped Lineup. BY RAY TUCKER Times Staff Writer CHICAGO, July 2.—Governor Franklin D, Roosevelt’s nomination as the Democrats’ presidential candidate is expected to result in a radical shift in the politics and personalities which have dominated the party for the last decade. Under the successive leaderships of James M. Cox in 1920, John W. Davis in 1924, and especially, Alfred E. Smith in 1928, the Democrats devoted their attention to winning the votes and allegiance of the east and northeast.
On issues affecing prohibition, business and industry, these three regimes tried to appeal to the states of the west having large electoral votes. The theme song was the ‘‘Sidewalks of New York,’’ and its the child of the tenement district of lower Manhattan. Appeal in South and West The new Roosevelt dynasty is counted on to relegate many of this group to the background because it was they who most bitterly opposed Roosevelt's nomination. He is expected to direct his appeal to the south and west, which furnished the votes for his nominations, and try to win in November with the support of these sections. His managers already outline a campaign similar to that which Woodrow Wilson conducted in 1916, when he won without the votes of key states in the east and middle west. In fact, Frank Hague (N. J.), Smith manager, ,and Governor Joseph B. Ely (Mass.), who supported Smith, virtually foreclosed their states against Roosevelt in the election. Hague called the New York Governor the candidate of the country an against the cities, and the Roosevelt people made the most of this attack. Champion of Country Folk They retorted that large business influences headed the movement to block his nomination. “You people in the cities don’t grow the kind of people we do in the country,” Roosevelt once wrote., “although you grow good people.” The figures who put over Roosevelt hail from the west and south, and it is believed they will have a more important place in party councils than the nominee’s enemies. They include such men as William G. McAdoo (Cal.), Speaker John N. Garner (Tex.), Senators Burton K. Wheeler and Thomas J. Walsh (Mont.), Clarence C. Dill (Wash.), Huey P. Long (La.) and Pat Harrison (Miss.). Farley to Succeed Raskob Except for the last named, these men almost have nothing in common with the group which has headed the party since 1920. Another elder who may be swept into the wings is Senator Carter Glass (Va.). The senator backed ex-Govcfnor Harry F. Byrd (Va.), and clashed openly with the man ho made possible Roosevelt’s nomiation—McAdoo. While selection of a national chairman has not been made, it is expected the post will be taken from John J. Raskob, Smith's friend, and turned over to James A. Farley. Roosevelt's manager. As prophetic of changes, both Raskob and Clem shaver, who handled the Davis 1924 campaign, were ‘ forgotten men’’ here. The three presidential candidates since 1920, including Cox, whose running mate Roosevelt then was, were lined up in the anti-Roosevelt camp. Need Forest of Olive Branches The Roosevelt people realize that their most difficult task is to placate their vanquished foes. The one link with some in this group Is Farley, a Tammany member, and a close friend of Smith in other days. Despite the bitterness which prevailed at the convention, Farley has indicated he immediately will assume the role of peacemaker. But it will take a forest of olive branches to conceal the weapons which flashed in the all-night battle at the convention stadium. NAMED BUREAU COUNSEL Barnett W. Breedlove to Represent Area for Veterans' Board. attorney Barnett W. Breedlove, assitsant attorney for the Indianapolis area of the United States veterans’ bureau, has been appointed chief counsel of the region, with offices at the veterans’ hospital here.

SPOTLIGHT OF TRAGEDY ON BERNHARDT
‘Divine Sarah ’ Plays Cleopatra Role After Leg Is Amputated
Htrold Seton is hailed ss the champion first-nighter of the American stage. More than twenty-five years of attendance at premiers have given him an almost lnexhaustable well of memories. This is the third of a series of interviews with Joseph Mitchell. WorldTelegram staff writer. BY JOSEPH MITCHELL Times Staff Writer Copvrlrht. 193 J. bv the New York WorldTelegram Corporation.) T TER right leg had been ampu- ■*- tated. She was feeble and tired. On the darkened stage this indomitable woman of 75 reclined on a gilded ccuch and pretended she was Cleopatra, the lithe and sinister siren of Egypt. The spectators applauded, and the tumultuous Sarah Bernhardt stood up, held to the shoulders of two young actors, and bowed. She never took a step. She did not want the audience to see her limp. “That,” said Harold Seton, dean of Manhattan’s first-nighters, “was the most pathetic scene I ever saw in a theater. “The divine Sarah in her last hour on the American stage was tragic as the Greeks were tragic. She revived Cleopatra and Mme. X for the reverent ones of Manhattan. Then she went back to Paris to die. An aged woman, dreaming of the past. I went to first j nights for a quarter century, but l this was the most pathetic scene i I ever saw . . . “But it saddens me to think of it. I rather would recall the most preposterous performance I ever saw. The Cherry sisters at Hammerstein’s old Victory theater. They were so bad they were extremely popular. “Instead of firing the sisters, the managers stretched a net across the proscenium and allowed them to go on and sing and recite to their hearts* content. “Rowdies hurled vegetables and eggs at them, but very few of the missiles slipped through the net. As long as they were bad, they were paid. Each night they became worse. a * * “ A ND other crazy plays I reYA- member with pleasure are the sensational melodramas of the ’9os. The ones with trick mechanical effects. “The County Fair” had a horserace on a treadmill, and another had a mill saw which was stopped in the nick of time from killing the heroine. I remember Al Woods’ early production, “Queen of the White Slaves,’ and ‘Bertha, the Sewing Machine Girl,’ and ‘Nelly, the Beautiful Cloak Model.’ They explain themselves. “I have been told that Mr. Woods would first get a lot of spectacular posters and then hire a writer, any kind of a writer, to construct a play around the posters. “Billboard advertising was an important part of the show business in those days. “Owen Davis, a young gentleman from Harvard, made a lot of money writing these melodramas. I saw many of his plays, including ‘Driven From Home,’ and ‘The Gambler’s Daughter,’ and 'Her One False Step.’ “One of his flashy melodramas stands out in my mind because the two leading roles were played by actresses from higher class productions. It was ‘The Great Diamond Robbery,’ in which Blanche Walsh was the heroine and the venerable Polish star, Mme. Janauschek, was Mother Rsenbaum, a disheveled old receiver of stolen goods. MM* “IV/fTSS WALSH, who later lv A starred in ‘Resurrection,’ in which there was a heart-stirring prison scene, had been born in old Tombs prison. Her father was the warden. “When the famous Fanny Davenport was aged and stout, a great theatrical scandal was created when her handsome young husband, Melbourne McDowell, toured in the Davenport repertoire with Blanche Walsh as his leading lady. He took all his wife’s plays and gave her parts to Miss Walsh. “Road circuits in the nineties covered the length and breadth of the United States. Following successful Broadway runs, the more sturdy of the stage people immediately packed up scenery and departed for Illinois, Texas and Louisiana. “Many of them visited Australia. Blanche Walsh, Nat Goodwin, Maxine Elliott, Andrew Mack and William Collier, with the young John Barrymore in the company, are a few principals who made Australian tours. “Kyrle Bellew co-starred with Mrs. James Brown Potter, not only in the United States, but in Australia and the Orient. Actors were travelers in those days. Mrs. Potter, who had been Cora Urquhart, a society beauty in New Orleans, before marrying a nephew of the dour old Bishop Potter of New York, now lives in retirement on the Riviera. “She is the mother of the former Fifi Potter, who divorced James A. Stillman and now is married to Fowler McCormick. "In the 90s, when I was in my prime as a first-nighter, the popular theaters were Daly's, the Empire, the Casino, the Madison Square, the Broadway, the Lyceum and Palmer’s, as well as the lower-priced Star and Tony Pastor’s. “The best seats were $1.50. Later, they were put at $2. After that the scale began to rise and
“'VX7'E rarely have an exper- ▼ V ienced woman or girl traveler. You couldn't tell the girl from the farm from the girl of the city boulevards nowadays. They don’t ask for aid, they merely seek information as to the best car line to reach their destination, or a good hotel, or when the next train leaves for So-and-So," Mrs. Wilhoit says. Oddly enough, the passengers who ride the trains don’t form the bulk of the service rendered by the Travelers’ Aid Society.

LOUISVILLE LAD IS MARBLE KING Indianapolis Boy on Way Home From Tourney. By Times Special OCEAN CITY, N. J., July 2. Harley Corum, 13-year-old crack shot from Louisville, and runnerup in last year’s national marble tourney, Friday shattered the Jong standing jinx that a national runnerup never comes back to win a title. Although not near the form he showed Thursday in disposing of St. Louis and Springfield, Mass., two of the top favorites of the tourney, Corum sailed over 12-year-old Earl Weisgerber of Wildwood, N. J., to win the national mibs crown with ease. He won four straight games, lost one, then added the next for victory. The scores were 7-1 7-3, 7-5, 7-6, 7-5 and 7-1. Billy Dyer of Indianapolis watched the finals after taking his final dip in the ocean earlier Friday morning. He began his return home late Friday afternoon, will stay over in Cincinnati tonight and arrive home at 11:40 Sunday morning. The trip has been “great,” according to Billy, who already is looking forward to next year’s Times tourney. “But, boy, I’m going to learn to stick before then,” he says. Inability to stick in the ring was Billy’s greatest handicap here this year and cost him many victories in elimination play. SALESMAN ‘HOLDS BAG’ Prospect Leaves His Cap, but Makes Off With 53,000 Auto. By United Press CHICAGO, July 2.—Harry A. Shilvock, an automobile salesman, was holding a cap today, but the more he looked at it the more it look to him like a bag. The cap was given to him to hold by a young man who said his name was Johnson, and was interested in buying a sleek $3,000 roadster. Shilvock and Johnson drove to a loop hotel to see the customer’s father and close the deal. Johnson asked the salesman to hold his cap a moment. Shilvock was still holding the cap today. The $3,000 car and the prospect have disappeared. HELD ON DRUNK CHARGE Mother of Two Arrested Following Auto Collision.

People used to wait in Central park to catch a glimpse of Lillian Russell riding in the tandem of Jesse Lewisohn, the financier. Lewisohn later married Edna McCauley, who for many years had been escorted by Diamond Jim Brady. Many of the Brady diamonds decorated the fair bosom of Miss McCauley.” Seton sighed. “And now,” he said, “Mr. Lewisohn, Miss Russell, Mr. Brady and Miss McCauley are in their graves.

DRAFT BILL T 9 HELP JOBLESS BY ILS,LOANS Introduce Measure to Set Up Credit Agency for Nation’s Workers. BY GEORGE SANFORD HOLMES Time* Staff Writer WASHINGTON. July 2. The railway brotherhoods have approved a new relief bill just introduced in congress to create anew three-bil-lion-dollar credit agency designed to do for unemployed heads of families just what the Reconstruction Finance Corporation is supposed to do for banks and railroads In distress. Senator Edward P. Costigan (Dem., Colo.) Is sponsor of the measure in the senate and Representative F. H. La Guardia (Rep., N. Y.) in the house. Both the principle and the structure of the Reconstruction Finance organization have been adopted in the proposal, only its benefits are to be applied to individuals in economic straits rather than to aggregations of capital. Rail Head Is Author Donald R. Richberg, chief counsel for the rail unions, is the author of the bill, which provides, briefly, as follows: Creation of a credit agency to be known as the United States Exchange Corporation, called “Usee,” for short. Credit will be extended to unemployed heads of families, not to exceed SSOO to any one applicant, for the purchase of essentials of life! such as food, clothing, fuel, electric current, etc. Borrowers must sign a written pledge that the loan will be repaid within ten years, 10 per cent a year to be deducted from future wages, the rate of interest on the loan to be 1 per cent the fiscal year, 2 per cent the second, 3 per cent the third and 4 per cent thereafter. Will Issue Bonds Usee will be authorized to issue bonds, notes or debentures to the extent of five times its capital stock of $500,000,000, thus providing a revolving fund of approximately three billions. It will license producers, distributers, transporters, who agree to accept its credit certificates at face value, and subscribe to all regulations concerning their use, and all purchases on credits must be made through such agencies. Such licensees must agree not to reduce wage scales below those effective June 1, 1932. Other Loans Provided For The corporation also will be authorized to loan to railroads and other essential enterprises to finance deferred maintenance of properties, which will stimulate future demand for necessary goods or services, the amount of such, loans not to exceed $250,000,000. It also may loan a similar total to state or municipal relief agencies for credit to meet charitable needs when their own resources have been exhausted, taking their notes in return. Brotherhood officials assert such a measure not only would relieve acute misery, but would stimulate industry and employment, restore buying power, and assist not less than one-fourtth of the population of this country, now on the verge of privation.
