. NEWTEALERS AL TAMADE DEFN Party Chieftains Declare ~Result Is Index of Roose- % velt Favor. éhs Assoclated Press. ATLANTA, September 11.— Party chieftains hailed as & national victory today the landslide ballot by which Georgia Democrats swept aside the anti-New Deal senatorial bid of Gov. Eugene Talmadge. ‘While the gallus-snapping Talmadge congratulated Staunch ~Administra- tionist Richard B. Russell, jr, his Victorious opponent in yesterday's pri- mary, Democratic Chairman James A. Farley declared the victory “further evidence of the popularity of Presi- dent Roosevelt.” Similar expressions came from lead- :ers high in the party councils, in- cluding Secretary of Commerce Roper, Becretary of Agriculture Wallace and Secretary of the Interior Ickes, whom Talmadge once called “just another *boondoggler.” ...Russell, renominated for & six-year term, carried 134 of the State's 159 counties and polled 202,402 votes to Talmadge's 25 counties and 105,120 Yotes. It was the first political defeat f the veteran Talmadge, who carried lfid counties in his campaign for overnor two years ago. Reflecting more overwhelmingly Rus- sell's big lead was'the county unit vote, unique system of primary nomi- nation similar to the electoral college in a presidential election. The Sena- tor received 360 of the State's 410 county unit votes, when he needed only 206. Talmadge collected 50. Speaker E. D. Rivers of the State House of Representatives, active’ New Deal champion, won the gubernatorial homination. Nine incumbent Representatives in Congress were renominated, five with- out opposition. A new Representative, Stephen Pace, Mericus attorney, was nominated from the third district to succeed B. T. Castelow, who did not seek another term.

By the Associated Press. ABOARD LANDON TRAIN EN Alf M, Landon sped eastward today on his second campaign drive for the great blocs of presidential electoral votes that lie between Illinois and Maine. “I am very glad to be on my way to contribute to the notable eampaign which I believe will end in the re- pudiation of the present national administration by the voters of Maine next Monday,” the Republican nom- inee told newsmen, “I am confident that lu}u. as in the years past, will lead the way to a Republican victory in the *stion and a restoration of good government at Washington.” After boarding his special train for Portland, Me., where Saturday he will deliver his ifth major speech- of the campaign, Landon walked into the car ahead of his private coach and chatted with newsmen, “Government and Business.” His address at Portland will be on “Government and Business,” a topic he discussed briefly in his acceptance address at Topeks, July 23, in which he said: “The time has come to unshackle initiative and free the spirit of Ameri- can enterprise* * * We must be freed from excessive governmental in- timidation and hostility.’ Gifford Pinchot, former Governor of Pennsylvania, who conferred with Landon over the luncheon table yes- terday, told reporters the Portland speech “has the punch.” After an overnight trip from To- peka into Nlinois, Landon planned a four-hour visit in Chicago, including luncheon at the home of George F. Harding, national committeeman, and conference with Republican leaders before resuming his eastward drive. ‘The Governor’s party included Lacy Haynes, close friend and political ad- viser of Landon, and William R. Cas- tle, former Undersecretary of State, who conferred with the nominee on international relations. Castle told newsmen *“a world con- ference of kings and dictators, re- ported under consideration by Presi- dent Roosevelt, would be silly and ridiculous. “I don’t believe the President will call it,” he said. *“I think the report Was just a trial balloon. “Such a conference would be the absolute negation of democratic ideals, it seems to me. It is the people of a country, not the ruler, that keeps a country out of war.” (Administration spokesmen have denied such a conference was contem- plated.) Four rear-platform appearances in Indians, at Gary, Valparaiso, Ply- mouth and Fort Wayne, were sched- uled late in the day. They opened & series of more than a score of such talks listed 1n Connecticut, Massachu- setts, New Hampshire and Maine, and on the return through New York and Tilinols. Landon made & brief plat- form appearance before a small crowd last night in Kansas City. DEMOCRATS STUMP MAINE, PORTLAND, Me., September 11 (). —Two Democratic leaders’ declaration that President Roosevelt is capable of keeping America out of impending world conflict was before Maine voters today as the Republican standard lu-"u » Alf"M. Landon, headed for this Harry H. Woodring, acting Secretary, and John J. Oudahy, bassador to Poland, made the asser- tions to Democrats rallying for Mon- day’s State election. Picturing the next four yeass as “the most fateful in modern world history,” Woodring at Waterville “thanked God that w2 have in the White House today & man who in the midst of world turmoil is de- termined that this Nation shall have peace.” Cudahy, predicting at Bangor “an- other great conflict within the next three years,” said that only by elect- ing & President who would keep peace “shall we survive.” ‘Woodring, former Kansas Governor, said that even Liberty League mem- bers had no desire “to return to the Hoover days.” “They are the same du Ponts, Rockefeliers and Morgans,” he de- clared, “who were but recently beg- ging President Roosevelt to save them and their wealth from destruction by & Hoover depression.” Democratic Gov, Louis J. Brann, seeking election to the United States Senate, said at Bangor: - “It to appear that the real contest Monday is between the mon- eyed interests and the common people.” Arthur E. Sewall, Republican State chairman, ascribed du Pont, Morgan, Rockefeller contributions to the Re- publican eampaign fund to recogni- tion of “the value of Maine and Kansas common sense.” United States Senator Wallase H. ‘White, jr., Brann's opponent, said at Westbrook that incveased taxes on employers had robbed the pay en- velupes of the workers.
