THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. O, SEPTEMBER 20, 1936~PART TW D3 MAINE VOTE SEEN KEY TO PENNSYLVANIA FORECAST NEW DEAL FAILURE INSPENDING SEEN Republicans Deny Millions From U S. Can Turn Keystone Tide. BY WALTON D. ROOS, Special Correspondent of The Star. HARRISBURG, Pa., September 19. =Visibly cheered by the Republican success in Maine, G. O. P. leaders in Pennsylvania have pumped fresh energy and enthusiasm into the cam- paign here. Maine results, they asserted, dem- onstrate that New Deal spending of “millions of Government money to turn the tide here” will not bring success to the Democratic hope of making Pennsylvania a doubtful State this year. ‘With charges of political coercion of W. P. A. emplyoes a major issue of the G. P. O. in this State, Repub- lican State Chairman M. Harvey Tay- lor declared: “The American voter is not for sale. That's Maine's reply to Roose- velt's attempt to induce Americans to vote away their chartered liberties in return for the New Deal's 30 pieces of silver. It is the same answer which Pennsylvania is preparing to repeat most emphatically in November.” Republicans Gibe at Earle. Republican spokesmen also seized Sipon the Maine returns to gibe at Gov. George H. Earle, who two weeks 8go had gone into that State to speak for the Democratic candidates and who now is stumping Pennsylvania vigorously for the New Deal. Recall- ing that taree times in his first year in office Earle had taken the stump on three different issues, and met de- feat at the polls each time, the Re- publicans said the Maine returns showed the Governor has “maintained a perfect score as a campaigner for lost causes” and that his present tour of Pennsylvania for Roosevelt “will keep unbroken the Governor’s record of leading his party into defeat.” Developments in the Republican ©amp came rapidly this week. A State-wide meeting of young Re- publicans was called for Harrisburg for next Monday to climax the drive, in progress two months, to woo first voters away from the Democrats. A meeting of the Republican State Committee was announced for Pitts- burgh October 1, to whoop up the campaign in Western Pennsylvania. ‘The western half of the State went solidly Democratic two years ago, and 1s expected to be the most productive source of New Deal votes this year. Col. Frank Knox, it was announced, will return to Pennsylvania to speak at the State Committee meeting, and will address a Pittsburgh rally in the evening of that day. The vice presi- dential nominee is expected to speak in Philadelphia the following week, probably October 7. Col. Roosevelt to Speak. Col. Theodore Roosevelt, jr., is coming into Pennsylvania next month. He is scheduled to speak at a rally October 23 at Willow Grove, in Phila- delphia’s suburbs, and may make sev- eral speeches in the anthracite sec- tions of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Gov. Landon, scheduled for Phila- delphia during the last week of the campaign, may visit a score of cities in the State in his final swing through the East. Regional conferences in half a dozen zones were begun by a special committee in charge of the cam- paign to recapture Republican control of the lower branch of the Legis- lature, which in 1934 went Demo- cratic for the first time in more than half a century. Democrats, meanwhile, have been keeping their major campaign plans under cover. While John L. Lewis, {resident of the United Mine Workers of America, this week began his tour of the coal counties in behalf of Roosevelt, the Democrats have re- mained mum regarding plans for the President himself to campaign in Pennsylvania. ‘The brunt of the Democratic cam- paign thus far has been carried by Gov. Earle, who has been criss-cross- ing the State by airplane and auto- mobile making speeches, not only in behalf of the President, but to pro- mote his own campaign to gain Demo- eratic control of the State Senate which now has a narrow Republican majority. Earle has claimed Pennsylvania will go for Roosevelt by 250,000 majority. Pittsburgh and Allegheny County, generally expected to go Democratic, the Governor predicts will give Roose- velt a 125,000 lead—four times his majority there in 1932. The counties west of the mountains, he claimed, will go for Roosevelt by 200,000. He claimed Philadelphia, where the fight is expected to be close, and the an- thracite counties, where Lewis is campaigning. Renewing his attack on Col. Knox for the Allentown speech in which the Republican candidate said savings ac- counts and insurance policies are not secure because of New Deal spending, Earle accused Knox of “trying to start & financial panic.” Other Developments Loom. Two other developments, initiated by the Democratic State administra- tion, may become important in cam- paign effects. ‘The Governor called upon the Pub- lic Service Commission “to proceed immediately for the reduction of all electric light and power rates in Penn- sylvania” and to extend rural electri- fication “at the lowest possible cost.” Attorney General Charles J. Mar- glotti ruled the Governor’s power over all sheriffs is supreme and that in time of industrial strife the Governor may supersede local officials. This ruling is politically important to aid Lewis’ drive to unionize the steel in- dustry, and goes & step beyond the frequent reiteration by Gov. Earle and other Democratic State officials that State relief will be extended to strik- ers in need. Several dozen court suits have be- gun as a result of a scramble by rival candidates for. the right to nomina- tions for congressional and legislative Pennsy! vania. In most instances the fight for use of the name is between Republican and Democratic nominees, but in some cases the Coughlinites are fighting major party nominees for prior right to name the district candidate. Back Soil Program. Approximately 140,000 farmers have One-Party Rule Is Resented in South Carolina New Deal’s Victory * Hushes Complaint for Present. BY FITZ HUGH McMASTER, Special Correspondent of The Star. COLUMBIA, 8. C., September 19.— While the crushing victory for the New Deal in South Carolina’s pri- mary has hushed all opposition to President Roosevelt for the time being, there is evidence that some- thing may come from resentment at one party domination in South Caro- lina that has been felt for many years. The inactivity of the Republican party in the State gives stimulus to this. Both the Gardner-Hambright- ‘White faction of the Republican party, and the “Tieless Joe” Tolbert faction are practically quiescent. Among whites there has been deep- seated resentment at the binding to the Democratic party. It was deeply felt in the 1890's, nearly 50 years ago, when all Democrats had to vote to B. R. Tillman in the general elec- tion. The opposition to him had been most violent in the primaries, and most bitterly did this opposition re- sent being compelled to stand by the nominees in the general clecti.n. In fact, a small remnant did break parly lines and vote for an independent candidate. Through the Tillman and, possibly more s0, in the Blease regime, the oppositionists have held their noses when voting for the nominees in the general election. OHIOANS WATCHING TREND FISEWHERE Direction State Will Jump in November Uncertain to Itself. BY L. R. CONNOR, Bpecial Correspondent of The Star. COLUMBUS, Ohio, September 19.— | Ohio has been a little flicker-headed these last few days looking this way and that, as it has, for omens of what November 3 holds for the Nation in the results first from Maine and then from Michigan. It is practically im- possible for Ohio to find out from itself exactly how it is going to vote itself on the presidential candidates, let alone learn from its citizens how the Nation will go. It watched Maine go Republican, and that was a headache to the New Dealers hereabouts, but, like their defeated G. O. P. opponents four years ago when Maine looked the other way, the Roosevelt faithful consoled them- selves by reminding each other that the old saw about “As Maine goes, ete. . . .” didn't always hold true, and anyway, Maine being captured by the Republicans was a great deal like Hol- land being captured by the Dutch. ‘Whether or not the ancient proph- ecy is true, Ohio Republicans are Jubilant, and they are smilingly re- peating to one another, “As Maine goes . . .” Michigan Result Clearer. In Michigan, right next door, the result is much more pronounced. Sen- ator Couzens’ decisive defeat has filled stanch Republicans with hope and thrown the compromisers into con- sternation. The former see a strength- ening of the closely drawn lines on the national ticket in this State. There is little or no hope, it seems by now, of learnipg how Ohio will go nationally by the way it will go on State candidates. Gov. Davey is defl- nitely defeated by every straw vote poll and every impartial forecaster. The Scripps-Howard poll of five cities gives the State to Attorney General Bricker for Governor and Roosevelt for President. The first returns in the Dispatch straw-vote poll, which 80 far are confined to Central Ohio, give Roosevelt and Bricker about equal pluralities—large ones. To back up the findings on national sentiment the grass roots poll of country week- lies gives Ohio to Roosevelt by a very small margin. The Literary Digest poll is the only one so far which gives Landon any considerable hope for Ohio. But the Digest warns its read- ers that the votes still are scattered and that no doubt its total will flatten out some. Davey Beyond Help. Obviously, both the Governor and the President need some help to make them certain of Ohio. But Mr. Davey, despite his $66,000 series of radio programs, which includes 20 a week, via transcriptions, until”elec- tion, can hardly help himself, let alone the President. And, also, he seems beyond all help which the pop- m&y of the President might lend In the meantime Ohioans are await- ing the effect on Ohio of Gov. Lan- don’s projected Midwestern speaking tour, during which he has promised to expand upon his agricultural policies. ‘What he says about farm relief will mean a great deal in Ohio and in the States west to the Rocky Mountains. —_——— SPEECHES INAUGURATE CAMPAIGN IN VIRGINIA Democrats Turn Their Fire Against Jeffersonians Rather Than Republicans. BY R. L. C. BARRET, Special Correspondent of The Star. RICHMOND, Va. September 19.— Verbal firing in the nature of old-time NICE LITTLE CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK,HUK ? THE OLD BAY STATES QOVERNOR. IS HAVING TROUBLE EXTERMINATING ANNOYANCES ¢4 o BY J. A. O'LEARY. ITH nominating primaries out of the way, except in a few States that select candidates in conventions, the political spotlight is now centering on the presidential race, marked by a speeding up of campaign activity in both major parties. ‘While definite trends one way or the other are indicated in latest dis- patches from most of the States, there is still a substantial group of States that appear either doubtful or close to the borderline. From various sections of the country comes word that Republican cam- paign workers were encouraged by the G. O. P. victory in Maine's State and congressional election and by developments in the Michigan primary. There ‘were two distinct angles to the primary in the Wolverine State. First, the size of the Republican vote by which former Gov. Wilber M. Brucker de- cisively defeated Senator Couzens for the senatorial nomination, after Couzens had come out for Roosevelt; second, the close run which Louis B. Ward, & Coughlinite, gave Representative Prentiss M. Brown for the Demo- cratic senatorial nomination. Brown, the regular Democratic nominee, won by about 4,000 votes. Analyzing the results of the Wisconsin primary Republicans and Dem- ocrats put forth conflicting claims as to what it indicated with regard to the presidential race. Republicans pointed to a heavy increase in the num- ber of G. O. P. votes, above their 1934 primary strength, despite a sharp drop in the total vote for all parties this year, Gov. Phil La Follette, pro- gressive, was renominated by his party with a vote of 175,000. The vote in the Republican primary was approximately 163,000, while two Democratic candidates for Governor had between them 145,000 votes. Roosevelt sup- porters contend, however, that a substantial part of the progressive party vote should be counted with the Democratic total to measure the President’s strength in that State. New Yeork Still Reported Close. New York, which will play an important part in the national campaign because of its 47 electoral votes, is still reported as close. A recent report favorable to the Democrats is that various labor groups in the State are working together for Roosevelt and Gov. Lehman. Observers there have pointed out. however, that the final outcome is likely to depend on whether the New York City Democratic organization turns out strong enough on election day to offset the heavy vote Landon is expected to get up-State. From two States this week come indications that strengthen the out- look for Republican gains in senatorial seats, In Massachusetts observers are predicting Henry Cabot Lodge, jr., Republican, will defeat Gov. James M. Curley, Democrat, for the senatorial seat now held by a Democrat, Sen- ator Marcus A. Coolidge. Reports are that both Robert E. Greenwood and ‘Thomas C. O'Brien, who were defeated by Curley in the primary, plan to run as independents. According to dispatches from Montana Representative Monaghan, who was beaten for the Democratic senatorial nomination by Senator Murray, may decide to run anyhow. This would improve the chances of T. O. Larson, the Republican nominee. In the presidential race Montana is described as being for Roosevelt as the campaign now stands. New Jersey Republicans faced factional problems within the party earlier in the campaign, but the situation is believed to have been smoothed out when State leaders met with Gov. Landon when his train passed through New Jersey recently. The Democrats of the State are concentrating on or- ganization work. ‘The voters of Pennsylvania are in for more than their usual share of political oratory during the remaining six Weeks of the campaign, mainly because of the strenuous efforts the Democrats are making there this year. Although Ohio is & close State in the presidential campaign, Gov. Davey, Democrat, appears to be losing ground in his race for another term. Missouri Likely to Be Battle Ground. Because of local issues, Missouri may turn out to be more of a battle- ground than appeared likely sometime ago. Until the campaign gets further along, observers view West Virginia as a doubtful State, although strong organization is an advantage on the Democratic side. The Democrats of Kentucky have run into factional difficulties over the selection of State campaign managers, but latest dis- patches indicate it will not materially affect Roosevelt's chances of carrying the State, Iowa and Idaho both appear to be close to the borderline on the presidency, but in the latter State the veteran Republican, Senator Borah, is believed to be safely in the lead for re-election. Latest reports place Oregon in the Roosevelt column now. Republican workers will start out this week, however, to do some intensive campaign- ing throughout the State, following conferences with national party leaders. In the nearby State of Washington, a decided trend toward con- servatism is noted by observers from an analysis of the recent primary vote. There are some indications also that the Lemke vote may be sufficient, though not large, to decide whether the State’s electoral vote will go to Roosevelt or Landon. There were no new indications the past week to show to what extent Gov. Landon may have cut down the Roosevelt lead in In Minnesota the campaign is becoming more spirited as time goes on, mmwbnmmmundflnwmmnmmmmm Arizona New Deal Enemies Active. Colorado is believed to be in the Landon column. The national Demo- cratic ticket appears to be strong in Utah and Arisona, although anti-New Deal Democrats are becoming active in the latter State. The senatorial race in Nebraska for the seat now held by the veteran Senator Norris is still a three-cornered affair, and one of the interesting features of the campaign in the West. Although Norris, whose sup- porters filed his name as an Independent, by petition, has the backing of the national Democratic leaders, Terry Carpenter, the Democratic senatorial nominee, has not dropped out of the race. If he remains in, it will improve the prospects for former Representative Robert G. Simmons, the Republican In New Mexico there is speculation over possible fusion of dissatisfied Democrats with the Republicans, but whether this develops may not be known until county conventions are held later in the campaign.

BY W. E. MULLENS, Special Correspondent of The Star. BOSTON, September 19.—Although Gov. Curley was given the Democratic nomination for U. 8. Senator in the recent Massachusetts primary election by polling 63 per cent of the vote it was generally agreed among political observers here that he will be defeat- ed in the November election by Henry Cabot Lodge, jr., 32-year-old Repub- lican grandson and namesake of one of the commonwealth’s most distin- guished statesmen. ‘The Governor's two primary elec- tion opponents—Mayor Robert E. Greenwood of Fitchburg and Thomas C. O'Brien of Boston—polled 142,000 votes between them and both will run as independents in the November election. # Lodge Polls 84 Per Cent. Lodge polled nearly 84 per cent of the vote cast in the Republican pri- mary election which, for the first time in many years, brought more voters to the polls than did the Demo- cratic primary. John W. Haigis was given the Re- publican nomination for Governor without opposition while State Treas- urer Charles F. Hurley was the un- animous choice of the Democratic primary for governor. O'Brien, running on stickers as the candidate of the national union for social justice, polled nearly 40,000 votes in the Democratic primary for senator and approximately 6,000 votes in the Republican primary. He is Father Coughlin's Union Party candi- date for Vice President. Coughlin Effect Small. The supporters of Father Coughlin and of Dr. Townsend's old-age pension plan did not make any deep impres- sion in either primary. In the second congressional district the Coughlinites nominated Mrs. Agnes C. Reavey, of Springfield, mother of seven children in the Dem- ocratic primary while in the sixth district their indorsed candidate, John E. Taffe of Salem, won the Democratic nomination for Congress. Robert Luce, veteran member of the House from the ninth district who was defeated in the 1934 Demo- cratic landslide, was nominated again | and will seek his old seat in a contest | against Representative Richard M.!

' BURLINGTON, Vt., September 19.— An unexpectedly large vote was cast for Edwin B. Meekins of Battleboro, Republican candidate for Congress, in the primary last week. Meekins ran on s Townsend plan platform and re- ceived 12,000 votes, as compared with 41,000 for Charles A. Plumley, candi- date for renomination. Another feature of the primary, ‘which was not so unexpected, was the relatively small number of votes cast. The vote for all four candidates for the Republican nomination for Governor totaled only 56.429. This added to the estimated 7,000 votes cast by the Democrats makes less than 64,000 as compared with the 136,978 votes cast in the presidential battle four years ago and s total registration of 185,076 two years ago.

STRENGTH UNEXPECTED | BENSON DEFENDS OLSON'S REGIME Denounces Keynote Speech of G. 0. P. Opponent in Minnesota. BY JERRY VESSEwLw, Special Correspondent of The Star. ST. PAUL, Minn,, September 19.— A stinging Republican attack on “ultra-radical” Farmer-Labor admin- istration of State affairs that was ac- cepted by the third party as “a vicious and unprincipled attack” on the late Gov. Floyd B. Olson spiced the Min- nesota political front this week. Making his keynote speech, Martin Nelson, G. O. P. gubernatorial candi- date, charged the PFarmer-Laborites with designing to abandon American ideals in government, urged the State to exterminate radicalism in govern- ment and declared that “for six years Minnesota has suffered under the worst State government that it has ever experienced.” United States Senator Elmer Ben- son, Farmer-Labor candidate for Gov- ernor, interpreted Nelson's speech as branding Gov. Olson “a charlatan, a demagogue, a betrayer of the public trust and that his administration was the most corrupt in the history of our country.” “But,” continued the BSenator's statement, “let me tell Mr. Nelson that his millionaire friends did not possess enough money to bribe him {Olson).” “Tired of Radical Raule.” Nelson, in his address, picturei Minnesotans as being tired “of gov ernment by starry-eyed radicals a: mob violence, who have become d: gusted in recent years with the rep: tation this great commonwealth ha- gained as a hotbed of violence and » breeding ground of unsound thought.” “For six years,” he continued, “Min- nesota has suffered under the wors* State government that it has ever ex- perienced. We sought sincere reform (during time of distress). We flocked to new leaders and new banners. But today we discover that we have been betrayed. We find that the move- ment of which many had high hopes has fallen into the hands of political racketeers and unsound political ex- perimenters. “Political racketeers, under the nam> of Farmer-Labor, squandered conserv: tion funds and made ducks and drakes of the State’s resources for Farmer- Labor benefit, until their antice and impotency disgusted the people of the State. The Farmer-Labor party shunned economy and embraced a reckless spendthrift policy. “The maladministration of the last six years, gross as it has been, is but adventuring on the road to empire. The real aim and purpose of the Farmer-Labor leaders was startingly disclosed to the people of Minnesota in the Farmer-Labor platform of 1934, when it was roundly declared that the American economic system has failed and when it was further declared that for the American system, which has made America the Mecca of the whole ! world, the Russian Soviet system of a co-operative commonwealth must be subsidized.” Benson Hails Olson’s Record. Promptly accepting the challenge, Senator Benson in his prepared state- ment admonished his Republican gu- bernatorial rival “that Gov. Olson's record of genius and unselfish service to the common people of Minnesota— not to Mr. Nelson’s wealthy friends— will constitute glorious chapters in the future history of this State and Nation long after he, the puppet of the steel trust and the public utility corpora- tions, will have been forgotten." “What Mr. Nelson really objects to when he speaks of law and order under a Farmer-Labor administration is that troops were called out to protect the rights of working men on strike to bet- ter their economic condition—rights guaranteed them under the law. Had the troops been called out to bayonet strikers or to shoot them down,"he would find no more objections than he found when the Minneapolis police * * * shot innocent working men in the back. That kind of law and order meets with Mr. Nelson's approval.” The vitriolic Benson statement led some observers to predict that every Republican attack on the Farmer- Labor administration would be inter- preted by the third party chieftains as slandering the memory of their de- ceased standard bearer—Gov. Olson— in a move to capitalize on the tremen= dous wave of Olson sympathy so pro- nounced during his long illness and tragic death. Thus the Minnesota campaign, slow to generate genuine “heat,” finally picks up momentum that presages many torrid days ahead. FUSION IN DELAWARE FOLLOWS G. 0. P. RIFT Independent Republican Coalition ‘With Democrats Is Expected in State. BY CHARLES E. GRAY. Special Correspondent of The Star.
