The candidacy of Representative
William Lemke bears watching
because of the support which has
been given it by various groups,
each with an appeal that is potent
in some areas. Few informed OBJ
servers believe that Lemke has
any chance to win any appreciable
number of electoral votes but they
recognize that in close States the
votes that 60 to him may deter
mine whether the plurality that is
left casts the electoral vote of the
movement will hurt Democratic
prospects more than Republican,
but here again the question mark
comes up because of the strength
of the Townsend movement in GER
tain Republican areas.

LEMKE's STRATEGIC PLACE
By HUGO SIMS,
The Citizens Special Washington

Correspondent
The campaign this summer is
producing a number of interest
ing angles as the main battle goes
o. between the old-line parties
For example, there is the specu-
lation as to what conservative
Democrats will be able to do to-
wards diverting ballots from Pres
ident Roosevelt. The conference
at Detroit was relatively small in
point of numbers but the boilers
pointed the way for other Demo
Gratis who may be willing to fol-
low their lead at the polls. 1t is
pure speculation, however, to at
tempt to weigh the result in votes.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-08-27

The attitude of the conservative
Democrats of the Southern States
has been a factor to be consid-
cred in the present situation. AS
the picture looks today, the
Roosevelt administration has little
to fear from the Southern Demo-
Gratis. For years the, section has
been consistently Democratic, ex-
cepting the notable desertion OF
Al Smith in 1928, and while Re-
publican strength has been gain
ing somewhat in several States
there is little or no likelihood that
the progress will be sufficient to
gain any votes in the electoral
college except upon rare occa-
sions. Even such critics of the
New Deal as Senator Glass and
Byrd. of Virginia, are back OF
the President in his campaign and
will do their bit towards his re-
election.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-08-27

Months ago, in these columns,
we pointed out that the policies OF
President Roosevelt were apt to
create a new political alignment.
His "New Deal" was certain to
eliminate from the Democratic
party some of its conservative
elements and his drive apparently
was to capture enough progress
sives from other sources to offset
the loss. There was, and is, no sur
prise in the attitude of the Demo-
Gratis led by such figures as form
er Senator Reed, of Missouri, and
former Governor Smith, of New
York. -F
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-08-27

There are in the field, of
course, the candidates of the So
cialists, the Communists, and the
Prohibitionists but they are not
new and few people expect that
they will be able to vitality affect
the result of the main bout. Dis
counted in advance, as they are,
these groups will carry on as
usual, adherents warmed up. That
is about all they can accomplish.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-08-27

Other factions are on the bat
tlefield, hoping to make good
showings and to be able to adj
tract sufficient strength to serve
as a nucleus in 1910. Apparently,
the astute managers of these
groups expect some major politi-
cal alignment and some observers
see a possibility of three or four
new parties vying with the Demo
Gratis and Republicans in the next
campaign. Among these must be
included the Laborites, the Town
sendites, the Coughlin array and,
to an extent the so-called Pro.
gressives of the West.
