SENATE LIBERALS
Politics Shunned in 3-Hour
Conference for “General
Chat,” They Insist.
By the Associated Press.
A three-hour White House confer
ence between President Roosevelt and
a group of Senators generally desig
nated as liberals broke up early today
with participants Insisting poetics was
not mentioned.
“A general chat" was the descrip
tion given to the long session by the
Senators.
They declared that among the sub
jects under discussion were economics,
government, rural electrification, the
Supreme Court and the Guffey de
cision. The effect of sun spots on
the weather also was mentioned, said
Senator La Follette, Progressive, of
Wisconsin.
vumio ut vii wiv cumvivitvo "Civ ;
Senators Wagner, Democrat, of New
York; Wheeler, Democrat, of Mon
tana; Schwellenbach, Democrat, of
Washington; Minton, Democrat, of
Indiana; Norris, Republican, of Ne
braska, and Shipstead, Farmer-La
borite, of Minnesota. Felix Frank
furter of the Harvard Law School, a
presidential consultant, wai there also,
but Norris said he was just a
“listener."
Norris, who left an hour and a
half before the others, said there had
been “a general discussion.”
Wagner said “we talked about Gov
ernment and a lot pf other things,
but it was more of a social gathering."
It was Shipstead who recalled that
something had been said about the
Supreme Court’s decision which invali
dated the Guffey coal control act, but
the Farmer-Labor Senator could not
remember what it was.
Hopeful newspaper men then asked
him if any conclusions were reached,
to which he replied, ’’Did you ever see
any conclusions reached at any con
ference?"
Speculation had been aroused be
cause of the fact that the Senators,
while representing tour parties, all
lean toward the New Deal.
There was a belief that pending leg
islation was not the principal subject
on the conference agenda because
most of the legislative parleys at the
White House Include only Democrats.
Prior to the meeting some Senators
expressed the opinion the President
wanted to talk informally with “lib
erals" of various parties and sections
of the country on campaign matters.
Lehman
(Continued From First Page.)
prompted hi* return to private activi
ties.
President Roosevelt yesterday ex
pressed a hope that Lehman would
cee his way clear to run again. He
said he had known for some time
of the Governor’s intention.
Chairmen Jsmes A. Farley of the
Democratic National Committee said
at Grand Rapids that Lehman's de
cision meant “a loss to the State and
to the party.”
Comment of Wagner.
Senator Wagner, Democrat, of New
York declared Lehman “is so indis
pensable to the State that we’ve just
got to draft him,” while Senator
Copeland, Democrat, of New York said
his decision was a “great loss.”
Justice Ferdinand Pecora of the
New York Supreme Court expressed
the hope that Lehman “can be pre
vailed upon to reconsider.”
Pecora conferred yesterday with the
President, but told reporters that poli
ucs was not, discussed.
No indication came from the Gover
nor that he might reconsider, however,
and what effect a draft movement
would have remained to be seen.
Chairman Melvin C. Eaton of the
New York State Republican Com
mittee, said he was "not surprised"
at the announcement, but State Sena
tor George R. Pearon, mentioned as
a Republican candidate for Governor,
aald he was “very much surprised.”
Whether the New York situation
was discussed last night at a White
House conference attended by several
legislators was not made known. Sena
tor Wagner was among the Senators
who participated in the session.
Other political developments yes
terday included a decision of Demo
cratic leaders on Capitol HiU to re
cess Congress during the national con
ventions at Cleveland and Philadel
phia if the session has not already
adjourned. Pour years ago Congress
remained in session throughout the
convention period.
Democrats in State convention at
Maryland yesterday formally pledged
the 10 convention votes to President
Roosevelt.
Democrats in Michigan today as
sembled to pick delegates at large.
G. O. P. SEES VICTORY
ALBANY, N. Y., May 21 (/P).—
Gov. Lehman'* unexpected decision
to decline nomination for a third term
stirred New York's political pot to a
boiling point today, reviving Demo
cratic talk of a "draft movement” and
bringing Republican predictions of a
sweeping victory in President Roose
velt’* home State this Pall.
Republican State Chairman Melvin
C. Eaton predicted that "the Repub
licans not only will elect the Gover
nor. the Senate and the Assembly, but
will carry the State for the Republlc

FARLEY INFERS
Predicts Governor “of a
Typical Prairie State”
to Be Nominee.
the Associated Press.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., May 21.—
Postmaster General Parley last night
predicted "the governor of a typical
prairie State ’ would be the Republi
can Presidential nominee, and then
uwrted his election would prove a
"perilous experiment.”
Speaking before the Michigan State
Democratic convention, Parley, as
Chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, did not mention his "prob
able" nominee by name. Oov. Alt M.
Landon of Kansas Is the only mid
western State Executive now prom
inent In the Republican nominee race.
Farley criticized the man he did
not name as devoid of experience In
national affairs, and predicted that
It he Is the Republican standard
bearer "even Kansas" will not be In
the Roosevelt doubtful column.
Hints DuPonts Back Landon.
The man he predicted would get
the nomination, Farley said, was
scarcely known to the country a little
more than a year ago. He said he
"gueaMd" this man would be elevated
because "the DuPont Liberty League
crowd is less afrsid of him than It is
of more widely known and more ex
perienced statesmen who have been
mentioned In connection with the Re
publican nomination."
In another section of his speech.
Farley said the people were being asked
to believe, "in this progressive section
of the country, at least.” that the Re
publican party "is purging itself of the
old predatory spirit and that It means
hereafter under new leaders to go for
ward in the path of advancement and
care for the plain people.” He added:
"Do you believe that fairy story?
You know how the Republican party Is
being financed during the present cam
paign. Does It seem likely to you—a
hard-headed, practical people—that
the Du Pont Liberty League, that col
lection of multi-millionaires, and their
satellte lawyers and paid propagand
ists, is going to back any program that
would run counter to their own Inter
ests, habits and special privileges?
Discusses Candidates.
"This group, that has turned every
emergency that had to be faced by our
country into an opportunity to pile
up enormoua fortunes, is paying the
bills of any and practically every real
or pretended organization that an
nounces it is against President Roose
velt.”
Turning to Republican nomination
possibilities, he said:
"We do not yet know Just what Re
publican figure will be put up to op
pose Franklin D. Roosevelt next No
vember. From present Indications, It
appears probable it will be a gentle
man of whom none of you had even
heard a little more than a year ago.
"Talk about reckless experiments
In Government, which is one of our
critics’ favorite charges against the
administration! Could there by any
more perilous experiment than putting
the complex and highly delicate con
trol of our Government into the hands
of a man destitute of experience and
devoid of practice in national, still
less in international matters.
"You knew Roosevelt. He had been
In public life from early manhood as
a member of the New York Legisla
ture. He had been part of the Wood
row Wilson administration. He had
twice been an eminently successful
Governor or the most populous state
in the Union. Responsibility was
nothing new to him. The problems
of administration he had encountered
in almost every form.
Cites Support of Press.
“What do you know about the In
dividual who now appear* aa the moet
probable candidate of the minority
party?
“True, he is being exalted by the
anti-administration press. If we ac
cept this version we have been enter
taining In obscurity a genius in gov
ernment; another Lincoln, with dashes
of Coolidge in his composition. I
think all of us who have any famil
iarity with politics are cognizant of
the process of building up the com
monplace into the remarkable.
“This gentleman may be all his
boosters present him as being, but he
Is nearly BO years old, and It would be
something new if he possessed all the
magnificent qualities of administra
tion, all the knowledge or public ques
tions, all the noble attributes with
which his champions endow him, with
out his fame getting beyond the
borders of his own 8tate.
"I believe he made a moderate
fortune in the oil business, though
his biographers say he was educated
as a lawyer, but success in oil is not
generally regarded as particularly fit
ting a man or the presidency.
"I am not, of course, in possession
of exact knowledge of why the Re
publican party chooses to put him on
a pedestal, but if I were permitted to
guess, I would be Inclined to believe
It was because he was elected ®ov
emor of a typical State.”
Factional Fight Averted.
Michigan Democrats averted an
anticipated factional fight at their pre
primary convention yesterday by in
dorsing all comers for the major
nominations that will be at stake In
the primary next September.
Senator James Couxens, Republican,
of Michigan, was one of six persons
indorsed for the Democratic nomina
tion for United States Senator. His
name was offered as “one who cannot
understand the fight of the Republican
party for the almighty dollar and its
disregard for human rights.”
