THIRD PARTY POSSIBILITY

HUEY LONG’S INDICATION SEEKING THE PRESIDENCY CRITICISM OF ROOSEVELT ‘PROMISE OF EVERYTHING’ / By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright New York, July 25. The possibility that Senator Huey Long may head a third party in opposition to President Roosevelt was indicated today. He made a characteristic announcement. “I know Roosevelt is no good,” he said. “He is a faker. He promises everything and gives nothing. I would bolt from any convention which nominated him President. I may not go to the Democratic Convention. We may have to have a Democratic convention cf cur own. “I am willing to join any party, Republican or Democratic, or anything else, that puts over my ’share wealth’ programme. Roosevelt’s ‘new deal’ has the worst features of Fascism, concentrated wealth, Communism and Socialism without any of the good features of any of these.” ;
