POLITICAL NONDESCRIPT IS
CONSUMMATE DEMAGOGUE
ASSERTS OFFICIAL
WASHINGTON, Dec, 23, (/Pi
Representative Wood, Republi
can from Indiana, after a confer
ence with President Hoover said
that the statement of Robert
Lucas, director of the Republican
National Committee, “expresses
the sentiment of every real Re
publican.”
Wood said that he personally
intended to back Lucas to the
limit but- did not say what the
President’s stand would be or
rhether they discussed the sub
ject.
He said “We have been petting
these fellows, like Norris, too
long; if there is to be a Republi
can party we must have Republi
cans in it-”
As he was leaving the execu
tive chamber he turned to the
newspapermen and said: “The
Senate is no longer Republican as
people think it is. It has reached
;■ point* where the political make
up is nondescript; Norris is not
h Republican and not eve - a
Democrat, but is a consummate
demagogue.”
