HOUSTON. Tex., June 23 (UP)
— Members of the southern com-
mittee to uphold the constitution
—300,000 strong—today faced a
decision whether they would offer
an antf-New Deal presidential
candidate or endorse another par-
ty’s nominee.
John Henry Kirby, wealthy
Houston lumberman and militant
anti-Roosevelt organizer, said
members were being polled today
regarding their views. A decision
is expected before the week-end.
Kirby did not know what action
the committee, of which he is
chairman, will take. Any third-
party candidate would only “fur-
nish the corpse" to uphold Jeffer-
sonian principles, he said.
“We will endorse the Republi-
can ticket and Gov. Alf Landon—
as Jeffersonian Democrats,” Kir-
by explained his personal views.
“We are bound to do what we can
to beat Roosevelt. We are not
Communists. We’re citizens try-
ing to uphold the constitution.”

gia, central figure at the “grass
roots” Democrat meeting in Ma-
con, Ga., in January, will not be

should have known better thiui

And besides, think of the des-

took: come between a mother-
panther and her cubs; come be-

IraJics; come between a radio an-
nouncer and his elocution, but
never, right o nthe eve of their
national convention, try to come
between a flock of office-holding
Democrats and the prospect of
four more uninterrupted years of
