WERE NOT AT STAKE
Schnader and Earle Win-New
Jersey Renominates 13 for
Congressional Race.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The victory of Senator David A.
Reed. apostle of the old deal as op-
posed to the new deal, over Gov.
Clifford Pinchot in the Republican
senatorial primary in Pennsylvania
yesterday stands out today in bold
relief.
1t is hailed by the Republican lead
ers as a great encouragement to the
G. o. P. and as a sign that the new
deal popularity is on the wane This
is the Interpretation Of the result by
Senator Daniel o. Hastings of Della
ware. chairman of the Republican
Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Postmaster General James A Far
ley. chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, on the other hand,
said:
Il do not regard the defeat OF Gov.
Pinchot as a new deal test"
The Democratic national chairman
expressed great interest in the victory
of Joseph F. Guffey, Roosevelt leader
in Pennsylvania, who won tie Demo-
cratic senatorial nomination in over
whelming fashion.
Fall Issue Clear Cut.
The Reed nomination certainly
means one thing. In November the
contest between the Roosevelt new
deal. supported by Guffey, and the
Republican opposition to the new
deal represented in the nth degree
by Senator Reed, will be clear cut.
The only thing that could prevent
this would be the entry of Gov. Pin
chot into the senatorial race as a
third and independent candidate.
Democrats pointed out. however, that
Pennsylvania has always been a
strongly Republican State and for that
reason the test would not necessarily
represent the predominating senti-
ment in the country, if Reed should
win.
The expected happened in the Re
publican and Democratic primaries
for the gubernatorial nominations in
Pennsylvania. William A. Schnader,
at present attorney general, won cas-
| lily against nine other candidates in
the Republican primary. His oppo-
nent for the Office of Governor will
be George H. Earle, nominated by
the Democrats.
Organizations Victors.
Yesterdays victories were for the
Organization" on both sides of the
political fence Reed and Schnader
had the backing of the Republican
State Committee and of the Ware
organization in Philadelphia Gutfey
and Earle were the selections of the
Democratic State Committee for the
senatorial and gubernatorial nomina-
tions, and also of the new Democratic
organization IN Philadelphia, headed
by Jack" Kelly
The real contest in Pennsylvania
was that between Senator Reed and
the Progressive Gov. Pinchot. With
returns from 5,498 precincts out OF
1886 already in, the vote stood
464. .528 for Reed to 348,680 for
Pinchot. This gave the Senator
margin Of 1888 which the Gov
ernor apparently believed could not
be overcome, for he issued a statement
conceding the nomination OF Reed.
Philadelphia gave Reed approximately
90 900 of this lead over his opponent.
Winners Lead 4 to 1.
Guffey and Earle were leading their
principal opponents, Roland S. Morris
and Judge Charles D. Copeland, in
the Democratic primary by about 4
to /.
! New Jersey held It's primary elec-
tions yesterday, too, and the Republi-
can nomination for Governor has
been won by Harold G. Hoffman, State
motor vehicle commissioner, who won
in a our-cornered race. Senator
Kean, as was expected, was renomi-
mated for Senator by the Republicans.
Gov. Harry A. Moore. Democrat, was
unopposed for the senatorial nomina-
ton and Judge William L. Dill is the
Democratic nominee for Governor.
Familiar figures in the House dele
CATION from New Jersey were re-
nominated, including Representatives
