Unanimously
WASHINGTON. Nov. 9.— The ,
first sign of internal rivalry in the i
Democratic Party, since the elec- i
tion victory, appeared today with '
certain northern Democrats open- !
ing a drive to capture the Speaker- I
ship of the House, for which the j
South is contending.
The Northern Democrats con- ,
tend and declare the South has
been in the saddle for four years ,
because it held a majority and had
the leade r s h i p and prominent
chairmanships of all major com
mittees. The Northern Democrats j
now are asking for more power as j
they have more seats than the
South.
N. Y. After Place
Representative Martin Kennedy, j
Tammany Democrat, who disclosed
the Northern drive, said he be

Parley, Chairman of the Democrat
ic National Committee, predicted j
Roosevelt will be re-elected in 1936 j
by a verdict •‘‘practically unani-'
mous and the Republican Party is
positively through.”
