Charles was in the excavation, about seven feet deep, and George Gilbiu, 17, was driving the mule, which pulled a scoop that carried the excavated dirt to the curb.

BAYS WARNS PARTY OF HARMONY NEED

WABASH, April 21 (U. P) —Fred F. Bays, new Democratic state chairman, warned in an address here last night that Democrats must put aside factionalism and personal jealousy if they expect to win the election next year. Attacking critics both within and outside the Democratic Party, Mr. Bays said that the words “faction, can’t and defeat” have been re-

moved from the state Democratic organization's vocabulary. “I guarantee here tonight” he said, “that your organization will never be used to punish any Democrat, nor will your organization ever be used for any selfish purpose. When I acceptéd this position I resolved never to run for public office, but will give to the utmost for the welfare and good of the rank and file of the Democratic Party.

WASHINGTON, April 21 (U. P). —Political developments indicated Lday that President Roosevelt might be a third-term candidate in 1940 and almost certainly would bolt any

for President next year. Public utterances of Mr. Roosevelt and his political associates add up to those conclusions. The third term possibility had week-end attention after the President spoke Friday before the Pane American Union and at Mount Vernon, Va. His Pan-American address was heavy with forebodings and assertions that the Western Hemisphere

economic or military attack. Washington Decision Linked At Mt. Vernon Mr. Roosevelt spoke

ington’s difficult decision when, after long years of service in the cause of the new nation, he was recalled from retirement to serve as its first President. Mr, Roosevelt said he believed Washington would have refused the call if it had been a normal one. Political observers wondered whether Mr. Roosevelt might not have been thinking of himself and the possibility that “real crisis and deep emergency’ in 1940 would present to him a decision as difficult as that which confronted Washington—this time whether to be a third term candidate. Some of Mr. Roosevelt's associates are thinking that crisis, perhaps World War, might keep him in the White House another four years.

Plan to “Bolt” Seen

There develops now another possibility, one in which the emergency might threaten the New Deal-Dem-ocratic Party and in which Mr, Roosevelt might, also, acknowledge compelling reasons for another term. His Wednesday message to Young Democratic Club diners here could be interpreted that way. It was a retiteration of his Jan. 7 address to $100-a-plate Jackson Day diners when he invited “nominal” Democrats to join the opposition if they wanted a conservative party. This week he warned conservative Democrats to subordinated their ideas—remain loyal—or to join the other party. On the basis of that speech, belief that Mr. Roosevelt would bolt a 1940 conservative Democratic candidate is growing in Washington. There long have been well qualified persons here who were fairly cone fident that he would bolt if Vice President Garner were nominated and that he might veto Postmaster General Farley but probably would accept the nomination of Secretary of State Hull

Seek Return to ‘Peaceful Stability of Twenties, Attack New Deal.

WASHINGTON, April 21 (U. P)). —A “Republicans - on - the-march” campaign by which party leaders hope to elect a President in 1940 was under way today.

first of several such affairs scheduled for many states, Republican leaders assailed the New Deal for “ballyhooing the foreign situation” to cover up domestic troubles. They pleaded for a return to the “peaceful stability” of the days of Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover. With most of the G. O. P. leaders present, Senator Taft (R. 0). leading contender in current speculation for the Republican nomination, led the attack. He summed up the Republican battle cry in six words—“The New Deal is a failure,” and cautioned voters not to let “page after page of foreign news divert your attention from the fact.” The dinner was the first definite step taken by the Republican leadership in their “Forward-to-Forty” drive, Speakers denounced the New Deal for failing to solve the nation’s economic problems and held out a promise of a return to “normalcy” through Republicanism. National Chairman John D. M. Hamilton invited into the Republican party those Democratic conservatives who were told Wednes= day night by President Roosevelt to support the New Deal or get out. He promised that restoration of the G. O. P. to political dominance would mark the end of “planned poverty” and would raise the standard of living.
