Mr.. Hearst's new party. It was
evident then as it later was proved
by the votes that the enthusiastic
delegates to that convention repre-
sented a following so small as to be
utterly negligible. Even with the
astute advice Of Bainbridge Colby
little more will come out of the cur.
rent movement.
Then, those who have their eyes
on the facts instead of on the bally-
hoo will promptly discount the talk
about Democratic detection when
they stop to consider some other
things that are taking place. For
example, there have been MO more
bitter dissents from New Deal poll
cies than Senator Carter Glass Of
Virginia and Senator Thomas P.
Gore Of Oklahoma have voiced. Mr..
Glass lately has engaged in rites
of burying the hatchet to the ex-
tent that he Is not going to run
for reelection in Virginia as any
buI q l.
Out in Oklahoma, Senator Gore
has been making speeches that
sound strangely as though he Is al
most friendly with the administra-
tion. He has been telling his audi
ences that he has stood with the
President on many votes in the sem
ate, sometimes when his vote was
badly needed. Though it becomes
apparent that while neither Sena-
tor Glass nor Senator Gore is en-
thusiastic about New Deal policies,
neither of them is going to desert
the Democratic party.
And, so it is in any number of
other cases, They may not speak
glOwingly of President Roosevelt in
their Own campaigns for reelection
but as candidates they are not 60
ing to fight him openly.
"Big Jim" Farley, the master New
Deal politician, successfully avoided
AUOids NeuO test Of New Deaf
Deal Test issues in Ohio
when Governor
Davey of that state announced re-
Gently that there would be no spe-
cial election to choose a representa-
tive at large to fill a vacancy. The
Ohio governor said it would cost
too much money to hold a special
election, his announcement being
made at the White House just aft
er President Roosevelt had agreed
TO allot $20,000,0O0 in public works
funds for Ohio use.
But the astute Mr.. Farley is not
going to be able to avoid a test on
View Deal issues in Kentucky. The
in that state Is that a
Democrat of President Roosevelt's
choice and who is supporting the
Iew Deal from start to finish is
unning for governor against a
lard-bOiled and conservative Repub-
lean. The election will be the first
week in November and thus a state
vide vote can be expected to meas
re the Roosevelt strength. Be-
ause of this, all of the maneuvers
re being closely watched and the
attic of those ballots obviously will
e bitter.
The Kentucky test takes on addi-
onal significance and importance
ecause Of something that happened
] choosing the Democratic nomi-
ee. The. Kentucky fight is to de-
ermine whether Lieut.. Gov. A. B.
handler, the Democrat, or former
representative King Swope. the Re-
will run the state.
Governor LaffoOn apparently
anted to have the Democratic NOM
zee selected by the old convention
ethOd but the Roosevelt support
s preferred "a primary. COnse-
lently. Senator Barkley of Ken
cky, devout Roosevelt follower
the senate. was sent into his
'me state to see that the primary
an was made operative. The DEM
ratio state committee which was
npowered to choose the method
selecting the candidate was de-
rmined to have a convention and
was after this determination be-
me known that Mr.. Roosevelt par
'ipated in debating the course the
rty should follow. Senator Bark
' arrived in his home state bear
g a letter signed r"Franklin d.
)osevelt" urging the primary and
lille Governor Laffoon was out of
e state attempting to convince ma
NAL leaders that his candidate for
e Democratic nomination was the
sht one, Lieutenant Governor
landler called a special session
the state legislature and put
rough a law compelling the Sc
.tion of the candidate by the pri-
Try. Mr.. Chandler won the nomi-
tion in the run-off although Thorn:
S. Rhea had polled more votes
the original primary than did
!. Chandler.
So it is apparent beyond a doubt
It Mr.. Roosevelt recognizes the
eessfty for electing a DEMOCRAT.
d New Deal supporters in Ken
ky say that he is prepared to
tile to the last ditch.
Nevertheless, the fur will fly in
