growing belief that the Republican
Party will not be able to muster
enough strength in Its own name to
make a better showing against the
New Deal than it did in 1986, if as
good.
It lacks two elements which,
under the American political system,
are essential to the success of any
national party. One of those is a na-
tional organisation built up around
state, county and mu-
holders. In that respect
party is under a tre-

before 8 o’clock, the time that Hen-

tiU-8 a. m.
^Henderson’s body was covered with
four feet of dirt. Other workmen dug
him out immediately, but the impact
of the dirt which fell some 30 feet
had killed him Instantly. Tbe bank
which crushed tbe youth was one of
those cut by tbe recent flood waters
along the Colorado. Workmen had
been working under it for several
days, the construction company offi-
cials said, and no danger was appre-
hended from it.
The body was brought to Lampasas
Wednesday evening In the Briggs-
Gamel funeral coach and carried to
the home of the deceased’s parents.
Funeral services were held at Nix
this afternoon and burial was in the
cemetery a few miles west of that
place. Jasper Chambers conducted
the services.
Young Henderson had made Lam-
pasas his home since his parents moved
here about two years ago, although he
worked away from here most of the
time. He had been working on the
dams for more than a year. He was
born near Lometa December 26, 1912
and was nearing his 26th. anniver-
sary. He was a young man well liked
by all who knew him.
He was not njarried, and besides
his parents, he is survived by the fol-
lowing sifters and brothers: Mrs. V.

wfira he told the Republican National
Convration: “If nominated I shall

Anti-New Deal Coalition
In the absence of anything so
orous as that from Mr. Roosevelt,
with the belief steadily growing
his intentions are quite the reverse, a
'“Stop Roosevelt” movement is already
under way, mustering to its support
not only leaders of the Democratic
party but many influential Republi-
cans who are beginning to believe
that the only way to block a third
term for thp^present President is for
the Republicans to get behind a Con-
servative Democratic leader, and
' throw their strength to an anti-Naw
Deal coalition, on the old political
principle: “If you can’t lick ’em, jine
■ ’em.” . ' ’
It is conceded by almost every ex-
perienced political observer that if
the Presidential election were to be
