GUFFEY DECLARES STATE DEMOGRATIC Convention Held Great Suc- cess, Indicating Victory in Fall. BY WILL P. KENNEDY, Stafl Correspondent of The Star PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 29.— The State of Pennsylvania, second largest in the United States, about which there has been grave doubt whether it would support the Roose- velt-Garner ticket, especially since the collapse of the Guffey coal bill, “is surely going Democratic.” This assurance was given yesterday by the jubilant Senator Joseph Guffey, who brought the convention to Phila- delphia, and by Representative Patrick | J. Boland of Scranton, the Democratic | “whip” of the House. Both also predict | the re-election of Roosevelt and | Garner with an increased majority. | “Just an increased majority,” Senator Guffey nonchalantly re- | marked. “Before the convention came | here I predicted that Roosevelt would carry the State by a larger majority than I did—128,000. I did not carry Philadelphia, but he will. I confi- dently expect him to sweep the State | with & majority of 250,000 to 300,000. “I did not see a delegate or an alternate who is not going home satis- | fled.

There were enough in Franklin Field Stadium last night to carry Phila- delphia for the ticket. And they went away impressed. Through radie broadcasts the entire country was impressed, and their sypport of the ticket will be intensified -s the dele- gates and alternates spread their reports in the home areas. “The convention was a tremendous | thing for Philadelphia in a civic and | political way.

The National Scene BY ALICE LONGWORTH P HILADELPHIA, June 20.—President Roosevelt's speech was deliv~ ered in his best dramatic manner, and the setting was the finest that could be provided by one of the largest, cities in the country. The crowd cheered, the bands played and the floodlights might have seen from Mars. But the noise-meter during the week had often registered higher. Whenever the applause began to fade, Mr, Roosevelt waved, shook both hangds above his head, and once, when the jubilation seemed about to subside entirely, he pulled out an enor- mous white handkerchief and gave the Chau- tauqua salute. He enjoyed the crowd and the crowd reciprocated. 4 ‘The apeech, like the platform, was splendidly vague. The President and his followers are con- spieuously wary of making aspecific promises.

It is in the rugged mountains of Durango, the great gorges of the Barrancas in Jalisco, the jungles of Vera Cruz and the roeky heights of Guanajuato where men and women are killing for their causes and fleeing to retreats in the wilds before the cavalry arrives. Because of such discontent, Presi- dent Lazaro Cardenas is still walking thousands who are cheering him with the same unrestrained joy with which Fascist Italy hails Muassolini. But tugging at the guy wires are four powerful groups which are trying to send him spinning into the net. And, from the entrance, anxiously watch observers from the United | States Government, determined to protect, if need be, the 250,000 tour- ists who are on their way here this yea?, the thousands of American citi- zens who live here and the billion dol- lars that Americans have invested, one of the heaviest stakes Americans hav in any foreign country. ‘These observers also are scrutiniz- ing the surprisingly rapid spread of communistic ideas.

Unquenchable Bitterness. Those tugging at the guy wires, though, hate him with an unquench- able bitterness and each awaits an op- portunity to topple him. These four groups are: 1. Parents, who sincerely believe that the socialistic schools are a threat to family -life. They accuse the instructors of fostering immoral- ity, especially in their program of sex education, and of teaching their children atheistic doctrines. They pray for the reopening of the churches, but they go further for the church school. They are ready to die, and they have died by the scores. Unwelded, however, they are power- less, but they dream of a strong man who may arise to lead them. Num- bering in the many thousands, they would gladly march under his banner in a religious crusade. 2.

Al- | though they number their followers in only 20 per cent of organized labor, et | eventually convince a majority, espe- | cially if Cardenas cannot fulfill his | promises as quickly as a tempera- mental people expect. 3.

They are typical soldiers of fortune, holding together 50 or more ragged renegades each and staging sporadic raids.

Three times during the last 12 | months, Cardenas has found the tight rope swaying in heavy air currents The first time was v ago. when he definitely broke with the master strategist, Gen. _Calles.
