POLITICS LIVELY
IN MASSACHUSETTS

Boston, Oct. 2-The principal game
to be PLAYED in Massachusetts this
week is that of politics. Democratic
and Republican delegates will gather
here Thursday TO TO select standard
bearers for the November election.
willie congressional conventions Will
also be held in the fourteen districts.
Governor Draper and four state Office
holders will be renominated at the
Republican convention Attorney
General Dana Malone retireS TO prl-
yate practice. but there is no oppos-
ton TO District Attorney James NJ
Swift OF Fall River for the sixth
place on the state ticket. Harmony
is expected to prevail.
That the Democratic convention,
which meets at the same time In
Faneull hall will be less tranquil was
generally conceded today, as there
are three well known candidates for
the gubernatorial nomination. and
two or three others who are desrous
of running for lieutenant governor.
The Massachusetts Democrats have
never appeared so confident of vic
tory as this year.
Last weeks primary election did
not settle the hght between former
Senator James II. Nahey of Water
town, Congressman Eugene y. Foss
of Boston and former Assistant Sec
retary OF the Treasury Hamlin, also
of Boston. All three have expressed
a desire to lead the party this year,
although Hamlin and Vahey have
been triiie more ardent In their
pursuit OF delegates than Mr. Foss.
Both parties will select the remain
ing eleven congressional candidates
within three days. but the Republican
Fourth district convention is the only
one attracting attention. The two
candidates. Harry j.. Pierce OF Leo
minister and William II. Wilder of
Gardner. are still claiming majority
of the delegates chosen at Wednes-
days primaries.
