Hoover Speech In Senate
Timed To Show Leadership,
Democratic Critics Claim
By CHARLES P. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer
Washington, June 7. —According to
loud criticism from the Democrats,
President Hoover’s recent surprise ap
pearance in the senate echamber, to
urge the tax bill’s immediate passage,
was a stage-managed affair, intended
to present the White House tenant
in the role of a great leader, making
the solons jump through his hoop.
Democrats says:
It is true that the senators were
just ready to pass the tax bill any
way.
It is true that they were on the
point of doing so late on May 30.
when Senator David A. Reed, of Pen
nsylvania. who reputedly is close to
the president, succeeded in stalling off
the vote.
It is true that the president paid his
visit and delievered his message on
May 31 before the lawmakers had had
time to start work—and that the bill’s
passage at that same session probably
was calculated to give an erroneous
impression, to folk unfamiliar with the
circumstances, that he had hurried
them up.
Nevertheless, It assuredly was not
solely to enable President Hoover to
exhibit his leadership that Senator
Reed prevented action on the tax bill
in the waning hours of May 30. Demol
crate declare.
There was at least one other reason
for the delay.
It seems to have arisen from an ex
cess of confidence on Secretary of the
Treasury Ogden L. Mills’ part that

he could not possibly have made a
mistake
As has been explained previously,
Secretary Mills, early in 1932. decid
ed on the amount of money Uncle
Sam will need to get through the
1932-33 fiscal year and listed the taxes
which he estimated would bring the
required sum into the treasury.
At that particular juncture his fig
ures were ail right.
However, business has so consider
ably declined to doubt that the taxes
he had suggested would yield as much
as indicated four or five months back.
These doubts having bee nexpressed
to Secretary Mills, he nevertheless be
lieved his original figures correct.
Almost at the last minute, however,
after Senator Millard E. Tydings of
Maryland had made a speech on the
subject, charging that the budget was
not being balanced at all, apparently
Secretary Mills decided to check his
reckonings over—and was rather sur
prised. one may £ueas, to discover he
was. indeed, about (285.000.000 “shy,"
to borrow a poker term.
The situation was of such urgency
as to necessitate Senator Reed's re
sort to dilatory tactics on May 30 and
to bring President Hoover to Capitol
Hill betimes on May 31. j
It is not unlikely that the Idea was
to kill two birds with one stone—to
enable the president to demonstrate
his leadership, and simultaneously to

Raleigh, June 7. No second pri
mary between J. C. B Ehringhaus
and Lieuenant R. T. Fountain for the
Democratic nomination for governor
will be called for by Fountain, ac
cording to- political observers here,
on the basis of almost complete re
turns from Saturday's primary, giv
ing Ehringhaus a lead of approxi
mately 50,000 votes over Fountain,
who is In second place. No statement
has yet been made by Fountain or
hia managers, but opinion here is
that it would be the height of folly
for Fountain to demand a second pri
mary and subject himself to what
would be certain to be a second crush
ing defeat at the hands of Ehring
haus.
A second primary is regarded as in
evitable. however, between Robert R.
Reynolds, of Asheville, and Senator
Cameron Morrison for the nomination
for United States Senator. Senator
Morrison has not yet made eany state
ment, but very few if any believe he
will permit Reynolds to take the nom
ination by the few thousand votes
he is now leading Morrison, without
demanding a second primary. Morri
son’s friends believe he will have an
excellent opportunity to win the nom
ination in a second primary, although
Reynolds* friends are also confident
that he will again be able to be high
man.
The principal interest here is cen
tering in whether or not there will be
a second primary between Ehringhaus
and Fountain, since there is virtually
no doubt about a second primary be
tween Reynolds and Morrison.
If Fountain should demand a sec
ond primary, as some few think he
may, he would have to get every one
if the 93,000 or ao votus that he re
ceived Saturday, as well as fully half
of the 78,000 votes Maxwell received
in third place, in order to be within
striking distance of the 143.000 to
145,000 votes Ehringhaus received and
would have to get tv/o-thirds of the
Maxwell vote as well a sail of hia
own. inorder to have a chance to de
feat Ehringhaus, and then would
have a lead of only about 5.000 votea.
But Fountain car not count on get
ting all the votes 'that were cast for
him Saturday In a second primary,
nor can he count on getting even 50
per cent of Maxwell’s vote, much less
two-thirds of the Maxwell vote, which
Would be necesitfary for him to win,
according to political dopestert here.
In fact, it is b«>lieved here that in a
iecond primary, Ehringhaus would
get a maority of not Jess than 75.000
