HUMPHREY 10 FACE UNION OF TWO PARTIES? A movement is on foot, it was learned today, to unite the progressive anu democratic Parties so as to accomplish the defeat of W. E. Humphrey, standpat congressman from Se- attie, this fall, “Both parties are agreed on the proposition that outlived his usefulness at the na- tional capitol and must be defeat- ed,” declared George E. Ryan, for- secretary of t state committes, today. “It would seem to me to be the part of political ‘wisdom for the progreasives of all parties to unite on a candidate to bring about the defeat of Humphrey.” Humphrey scratched thi the last election by a 600 votes over Dan Landon, nee Bressive candidate. ~Sinee then, the dimrict has bewh changed. J. W. Bryan, progressive, congreasman-at-large at present, also will run from this congres- sional district. Other candidates have been men- tioned.
