PRIMARY MATTERS
BEING STUDIED in
NATIONS CAPITAL
SENATOR COPELAND AND
HUEY LONG FURNISH TOP
&c OF POLITICAL CONVEX
sATIoN IN WASHINGTON
BY HERBERT PLUMMER
my Associated Pressp

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-The
senate is going "redder." In ad-
dition to the famous red carr
nation of Senator Copeland of
New York and the even more
famous red hair of turbulent
Huey Long of Louisiana, it is go-
ing to be further adorned when it
meets next January by the red
necktie, horseshoe diamond piF,
and all, favored by Senator-desig
nate Bilbo of Mississippi.
1t seems fair enough to style
Mississippi's latest choice for the
senate that way. Election day is
merely ratification of primary re
suits down south and Bilbo made
runaway race of it against the
veteran, Senator Hubert Stephens.
Just why Mississippi turned on
Stephens after having sent him t.
the house for five terms and then
twice to the senate is a matter
that may well occupy the attention
of Senaor Pat Harrison, senior
senator from that state. He has
had four house terms and his third
hitch in the senate will be up at
the end of SO. He is next at bat
for reelection. Ii there is any
special significance to Stephens
defeat, Harrison will be quick to
drop it out and learn thereby.
In The Long Manner
Washington press galleries an
ticipate a flood of copy" when
Senator Bilbo takes his seat. He
is getting plenty of advance no.
tice as a rival to Huey Long for
doing the novel thing on or off
the floor. The glimpses of his
platform available hereabouts.
despite the support Roosevelt
theme song, give administration
key-man no great amount of joy.
Senator Long is also an ardent
Roosevelt-sometimes.
Bilbo is described as having
used Long technique in his pri-
mary battle. He also favors, by
all accounts, such Long policies as
wealth redistribution, the topic on
which the Louisianan has enter
tanned the senate at great length
so frequently.
Not A New Deal Test
There was no test of "new
DEAF sentiment involved in the
Stephens-Bilbo run-off. Both cam
paigned as "new dealers" Bilbu
supplemented that with promises
on his own hook, going beyond the
present scope of the NEW deal" in
some highly important respects.
Democratic leadership in the sen
ate has had to deal with the EN-
barrassment caused by such cleo
ton commitments in the past. But
for the fact that party leaders are
counting confidently not only on
retaining but increasing materially
their senate majority this year,
Bilbo's case might be causing them
concern.
Incidentally Representative
Ross Collins of Mississippi has suf-
fered a double feat. Having
failed to beat Stephens out for the
senate nominations and thereby
lame-ducked himself out of con-
gress, he attempted to throw his
support to Stephens in the
Stephens-Bilbo run-off. 1t did not
work, as so often it does not. Per-
sonal popularity is not transfer
able political asset.

MIKE MALLOY

IfN.s0-The three officers Of
the Bronx murder trust met
death casually last night in the
lethal embrace Of Sing Sings
electric chair. Death was no
stranger to them. They knew it
intimately. Murder for profit
was their bloody business, their
daily bread and butter, their
constant comrade on both sides
of the black waters Of the Styx.
They greeted it with q silent
Macabre nonchalance.
Four Of them were to die. Frank
Pasqua, Daniel Kriesberg and
Anthony Marine were passengers
on Charion'S barge last night.
But Joe Murphy, the clumsy
dim-witted bartender, didn't go.
Four hours before the time Of
doom, Lieutenant Governor Will
liam Bray gave him two weeks
respite. They say Big Joe has a
child's brain. He was only the
added puppet of the evil trinity
who were shocked to death.
One hundred and fifty wit

painted like the front rows where
the prosperous worshiperS sit in

chamber was garishly lit and the
brown-painted walls looked warm

It took Is minutes to burn
