A laige and enthusiastic organiza tion meeting of Republican partyworkers in Putnam county was held Thursday evening at G. O. P. headquarters in the Heath building on outh Jackson street. The room which will accomodate several hundred was filled to capacity. Fred Purnell, of Attica, representative in congress from the Sixth district and who is a candidate for reelection, was the principal speakerHe was introduced by Charles Mc-
Gaughey.
Mr. Purnell in his address, defended the legislation enacted during the last session of congre-s and explained the functioning of the Koeonstruc tinii Finance Corporation. He gave statistics to prove that money wa loaned to hundreds of banks in citiethe size of Greencastle. He .-bowed how loaning money to the railroad.--and insurance com panic also bonefitted thousands of people and that there was no -Jch thing as “the for gotten man" as claimed by Franklin I). Roosevelt, Democratic presidential candidate. He showed how loaning funds to the insurance companies en abler! them to secure stability ami pay their policy holders. Money to the railroatls, which are now owned by thousands of stockholders over the country and not by a few of the world’s richest families, directly benefits the section worker, the train crews, the station agents, and every
employe, he said.
The speaker, w ho h i. been a mem- ! her of congres - for sixteen years, dis-
said this information was given him by several staunch Democratic members of the hou-c. He also pointed out that the buildi ig program ;ulvanced in the bill by Mr. Gamer would have put |»ostoffices in communities where receipts into government channels could never pay for the expense involved. He went on to say that Governor Roosevelt had r used such a hue anil cry because Mr Hoover and the R"publican party had r, it put a stop to the wild speculation in Wall Stre-1. Mr. Purnell -said that Wall Street a . in New York ci: and that this me tropolis was in the late of New York and that if the li! wa> to be clamped down, the governor, Franklin I>. Roosevelt, was He person who should have taken this action. He praised Hen ■ rt Hoover for his plans to bring the nation out of the economic slump. Hi program is so vast that it. is hard to understand, Mr Purnell wen' on to say. Following Mi Purnell’s talk, announcements regarding future meeting- of the woikeis were made by A- R- Chenoweth, county chairman.

NEW YORK. Sep* 2 (UP) James T. Walker, mayor of America’s largest city, has resigned under fire, to “seek vindication with the people" In a dramatic outburst again-t the forces seeking his removal from office on charges of official misconduct, the country’s most picturesque municipal executive refused to face the ■ 13th day of his trial before Governor j Franklin I). Roosevelt. Walker will run for re election to his $40,090-ycar position at the earliest elo< tion prescribed by law, prob-
ably this November.
The 96th burgoma-ter of New York and the first to resign while charges were pending agab st him, was mtomatically succeeded by Joseph V. McKee, scholarly president of the
board of aldermen-
Walker’s resignation came with all the flair for drama and human emotion that has colored a spectacular career. It came not only while he was facing his 13th day in the witness chair, battling against an implacable host of state investigators, but as a climax to a day which saw him, physically and emotionally broken, weeping at the grave of his broth-
er, who was buried yesterday.
National politics, state politics, and the eternal conflict that surrounds the local management of Tammany Hall had a hand in his decision. His action was a defiant challenge to a Democratic governor now eeking the presidency, and to another Democrat -Samuel Seabury who hi. been a I 'onsistent and bitter enemy of Tam-
many throughout his career
The very procedure Walker follow“d in resigning to nm again wa.s ,-ug gested Thursday mtfining in a ague I editorial by William R mdolph Hearst, newspaper publisher. Hearst was the only New York publisher supporting Walker again t the charges of his accusers. He also was numbered among those upp uting Franklin Roosevelt’s presidential campaign He was a political enemy of Alfred E. Smith, who ha I lieen mentioned as t possible candidate to succeed Walker, with whom he had been at “outs ” • Fifteen charge I d been levelled against Mayor Walker a an outgrowth of the Hofst idler legislative committee’s inve ligation into his operations as may ir of New York They involved alleged acceptances of stocks and money as bribes, and unexplained accounts of hi - alleged bu ine . agent -bowing a million dollars in deposits. Seabury has presented the e 15 I “conclusions” to governor Roosevelt as reasons for the mayor’.- removal. They involved alleg, | acceptance of stocks and money for ilb'ge lly improper consideration . which, however, Walki r denied; md unexplain-
ed accounts, e» .
Seabury said toda\ that Walker’s resignation in the fn 'e of those barges was “equivalent to a confes-
sion of guilt.”
The mayor wav mysteriously ab--ent from his luxurious ipartment at 'he Mayfair hotel until 10 p. m„ then -uddenly reappeared, haggard and worn, to tell waiting icporters that a statement would be issue f at city
hall.
The statement, so hastily drawn •hat no time had been gi' on for printing the document—or even for pronoon 1 viding the manifolds reeded by the j press—was read to a small group of reporters. It wn replete with biting sarcasms dir*' ted at Ru irvelt and
at the mayoi’s accuser.-.
Its theme was a single note—the unfairness of the goverm (r\- trial. The mayor charactc ize l thij trial a» an “extraordinary inquisition ” It was, he said, “a mock trial, a proceeding in comparision to which even the practice of a drumhead court martial
seemed liberal."
The statement continued that Walker had been advised thit “so fa" as courts are conferred at present, I must submit to being outraged by the unlawful art f the governor,” ind tha.t he has “no remedy at the present time in the courts ” “This indefensible and lawless purpose of the governor," he continued, “has revealed itself through the hearing ... he ha- not called upon (Continued on Page Two)
