ernor P. -sevelt of New York for the
presidency tonight Try Senator Bark
ley of l. jnu(ky in a .sta.ement in
which he tuiil he was not a candi
date fox the honor.
Barkley made his position known
in replying to an inquiry from Dr.
James H. Richmond, Kentucky sup
erintendent of public instruction,
who had asked the Kentucky senator
9
whether he wished his state's dele
gation to the democratic convention
instructed to vote for him.
The Kentucky democrat said that
in his opinion it "is no time for
compliments to so called favorite
sons," adding that the democratic
party had its greatest opportunity
since Wilson's election to "lead this
nation out of incompetence and dis
aster." "In my opinion," he said,
"such a leadership is offered in Gov
ernor Franklin D. Roosevelt."
Barkley's statement was an out
standing development of a day which
saw William G. McAdoo, former sec
retary of the treasury, predict after
talking to Speaker Garner of the.
house that the latter had an excel
lent chance to be his party's stand
ard bearer.
McAdoo told the Texan at a brief
conference that he would win Cali
fornia's delegation of 44 in the May
primary over delegate slates pledged
to Roosevelt and Alfred E. Smith.
Later in . press conference he said:
"I think hungry stomachs are a
much more serious matter now than
dry throats and therefore I feel the
next campaign will be settled on eco
nomic issues and the present state
of the social order." World-Herald.

to evade the interstate laws and make
an interstate shipment out of mer

Inspector Price testified that no
effort had been made by the com

for interstate certificates and licenses
which would enable the trucker to
pick up and deliver goods within the

cover carrier work only between

FIGHTING FIRE ON A SHIP
New York. The freighter San
Angelo reported Monday night that
her crew was fighting "a serious
fire" in one of her cargo holds, and
asked all shipping to stand by to
render aid. The message gave her
position as about 200 miles north
west of Balboa in the Pacific ocean.
The message from San Angelo's
master was picked up by the naval
station at Colon, and intercepted by
the Radio Corporation of America's
marine station at Tuckerton, N. J.
The Colon message said:
"Distress signals here from the
steamer San Angelo. Sserious tire
broke out in No. 3 hold. Please
stand by to aid in case assistance is
necessary."
The ship sailed from Philadelphia
March 6 and from Norfolk, Va.,
March 11, for San Francisco and
other Pacific points. Vessels of her
size usually carry about forty offi
cers and men.

Oshkosh, Wis., March 22. Before
an audience of 2,000 persons, who
cheered a progressive's endosement
of Senator George W. Norris of Ne
braska for President, Senator Rob
ert M. La Follette jr. Monday night
contrasted President Hoover s recon
struction program with his - own
plans for unemployment relief.
Senator La Follette defended the
$375,000,000 bill seeking direct fed
eral aid to the states and lesser gov
ernmental units of which he was co
author and which was defeated last
month in the senate. He declared
President Hoover failed to meet the
emergency situation squarely while
"tinkering with the banking system
and loaning the credit of the govern
ment to railroads, banks and insur
ance companies."
The senator declared the progres
sives: have decided to vote in the re
publican convention for that "sterl
ing, progressive warrior. Senator
Norris." in protest against the in
activity of the present administra
tion in benait or "millions 'oi citi
zens who are suffering incredible
hardship." Senator La Follette is a
candidate for delegate to the con
vention.
"Although the reactionary
democrats and republicans, un
der the leadership of the presi
dent, succeeded in defeating the
Costigan-La Follette bill in Feb
ruary, I cannot believe congress
will adjourn without meeting
its obligations to victims of the
economic crisis," La Follette
said. Omaha Bee-News.
Yankton, S. D., March 21. Dan
ger of a major flood became more
acute here late Monday afternoon as
the ice gorge three miles below
Yankton backed more water up over
the bottom lands.
The river rise was continuing at
7:30 p. m. and the government
gauge then read 14.7 feet which is
2.7 feet. above the 12-f.oot flood stage.
More families were evacuating
their homes Monday night as the
water continued to raise, with no
immediate prospect of the gorge
breaking.
The flood, which had done little
damage on the Nebraska side cf the
river, was beginning to force Nebras
ka farmers to flee from their homes.
The entire bottom on -both sides of
the river here is flooded, making the
Ltream nearly five miles wide at a
point two niikvs below Yankton.
Ico continued to float tiowi.ti ain
Monday night and was packed toli 1
y all the way from the gore to liu
Yankton bridge. There was no cur
rent in the river, the entire urca.M
hr.ving been dammed by the pack.
The water continued to flow across
the bottom to the Jim river, and
the danger o fthe stream cutting a
new channel for three miles ucro.-:j
country was becoming mere acute.
No action has yet Leea taken t J

HITCHCOCK VOICES VIEWS
Memphis. Former Senator Hitch
cock o Nebraska, described Frank

"While Speaker Garner is a prac

Memphis newspapermen, "lie is not
