Etection Votes Not Pro-Hoover
Account for Senate’s Failure
To Back President, Says Texan
— — — _____ i
By CHARLES P. STEWART
Staff Writer for Central Press
WASHINGTON. June 6.—After
the overwhelming fashion in which
President Hoover was swept into of
fice on the G. O. P. ticket—
Apparently so devastating a Hoo
ver victory that certain alarmed
public men said it paved the way
for a dictatorship, if Mr. Hoover
chose to make an American Musso
lini of himself—which, of course, no
body actually expected.
How in the dickens does it happen
that the United States senate—
with a clear G. O. P. majority of
15. which everyone had supposed
was equivalent to a Hoover ma
jority—turned down Mr. Hoover’s
strongly expressed wishes concerning
the farm bill?—the very first time
that self-same senate took a vote,
only just 65 days after his inaugura
tion.
• • •
“The explanation.” says Sen. Tom
Connally of Texas, “unquestionably
is that huge numbers of ballots cast
last November for Mr. Hoover were
not. in reality. pro-Hoover votes, but
simply anti-Smth votes.”
Senator Connally doubtless knows
what he is talking about.
His state was one of those which
cast its electoral vote for Mr. Hoo
ver. though it sent him (Connally)
to the senate, as a democrat.
• • •
“Now that Mr Hoover is presi
dent.'* continued the Lone Star sen
ator, “very little of that anti-Smith
sentiment, which he got the benefit
of on election day. is back of him.
“He is nothing like as strong as
he seemed to be in November—
nothing like as strong as he prob
ably thought he was.
“Manv conflicting elements com
bined. for the time being, on Hoover,
because thev were alike in fearing
Smith. The Smith danger being over,
they are falling away from Hoo
\ ver and resuming hostilities among
themselves.
• • •
‘The members of the house of
representatives,” went on the Tex
an. "appeared altogether too mueh
united on farm legislation to be na
tural.
“In fact, they were split into a
number of groups, each with very
decided views of its own—views op
posed to one another’s and all op
jiosed to the administraton plan of
farm relief, which they nevertheless
accented with a surprising show of
satisfaction.
“They were still fooled by the big
Hoover vote at the last election—
that is. afraid of President Hoover.
So thev swallowed what he offered
and tried to like it.”
• • •
“The senate, however,” proceeded
the Texas lawmaker, “is a little more
Independent. It can afford to be.
Senators only have to go ot the
pools once in six years: not every
other year, like the representatives,
which naturally makes the latter
timid.
“Accordingly, the senate voted
about as its members saw fit.
“The result immediately revealed <
how much weaker the president was
than most folk had imagined. In
stead of havng a majority of 15 in
his favor, he had a majority of three
against him.
“This will teech the house of rep
I
.5&N.TQM COMJALLY
resentatives a lesson. Henceforward
the president will not be so strong
there, either."
• • •
"There are other signs,” observed
the senator, “of a breakdown in the
present White House tenant’s in
fluence.
"When 1 esident Coolidge de
nounced the equalization fee, as an
important feature of the agricul
tural relief proposals, the national
reaction was strong, widespread and
favorable to Mr. Coolidge. I sense
j little, if any. popular reaction to
President Hoover’s denunciation of
the debenture plan. It seems to pass
almost unnoticed.
i "Why? I don t know. A differ
ence in presidential personalities,
perhaps.
"President Hoover also could verv
properly have objected to the deben
ture plan while being urged to ex
press his farm views. Evidently un
willing to accept any responsibility
he refused them. Later—seeing
himself, I suppose, in danger of be
ing lost in the woods—he expressed
his objections in a style to anger
the debentures’ supporters.’’
• • •
“The truth is.” commented the
Eouthvcsterner, "President Hoover
is in the difficult position of hav
ing tremendous promises to live up
to—not necessarily promises made
by himself, but assumed by others.
“This makes it hard for him to
escape disappointing the country.
Glowing promises, made in ad
vance. are perilous.
“Besides, the White House is a
place for an exceedingly able politi
cian—not a thin-skinned one. either.
After a great politician is dead, we
call him a statesman. While alive,
it is highly imoortant for him to
understand politics.”
• • •
Spnator Connelly does not pre
tend that a goal democrat can de
fend the debenture principle.
“It is. of course.” he admits, “a
subsidy—an indirect subsidy.
"But if we subsidize the manufac
turer. with a high protective tariff,
the fanner simply must be subsi
dized. to place him on an equality
with the former.
’ Further, adoption of the deben
ture plan will have the excellent ef
fect of proving to the public that
tariff protection is at subsidy also.
The public is able to realize that
debentures arc a subsidy. When
profecticn;sts complain that it is. it
immediately becomes apparent that
so is tariff protection.”
