Election campaigners hauled out big
guns today for the wars In the week
ahead--a week destined perhaps to
be important for candidates pondering
what the June conventions will bring.
Holding interest Of political OBJ
servers are the Tuesday primaries OF
Illinois and Nebraska and the forth
coming address of President Roosevelt
at Baltimore Monday night.
The Chief Executives speech before
Maryland's young Democratic clubs
will be his first in many weeks, and
many observers looked for answers to
attacks leveled at the New Deal by
critics.
For Senator Borah of Idaho, victor
this week against an uninstructed slate
in the Wisconsin preferential primary,
Tuesday will bring a contest in Illinois
with Col. Frank Knox OF Chicago.
This is the first primary in which two
candidates for the Republican presi-
Dental nomination are matched
directly for a test of comparative
strength. Both men have expressed
confidence Of victory.
Use Of Money Charged.
In a speech at Danville, ILL.,, last
night Borah declared that cash
running into a half to one million
dollars is being spent to control the
Illinois delegation to the Republican
National Convention"
why, a candidate for State office
told me last night 81 men. purporting
to have great influence in Chicago,
offered to sell him all their votes for
10000"
In a previous speech at Urbana
the Senator declared 'the corporation
powers are putting up money to con-
troll the Cleveland convention"
do you think the Standard Oil Co.
is in this for love? Do you think the
Du Pont dynasty is in it to serve
humanity?" he asked.
Borah's name appears alone in the
Nebraska Republican primary. Sev-
eral of the candidates for delegates
however. have expressed preference
for Gov. ALI M. Landon of Kansas.
Landon supporters in Virginia
where the State convention is in
progress today. were busy trying tc
have the four delegates at large in
structed for the Kansan. Yesterday
the ninth district instructed its two
delegates for Landon. He has been
Endorsed by three other district con-
ventions.
16 Landon Votes.
The Kansas Governor also won two
more delegates in Missouri district con-
ventions yesterday. He now is as
sured Is Of the States 80 convention
delegates. Observers predicted he
would gain four more today in Kansas
City district conventions.
Backers of all three Republicans
Knox, Borah and Landon, watched the
party's county conventions through
out Georgia today. The conventions
will elect delegates to the State ses-
sion May at Atlanta. at which dele
gates at large to the national con-
vention will be chosen.
Aside from the Borah victory in
Wisconsin, important developments in
the week past included the formation
of a research staff of professors to
assist the Republican high command
and increased activity Of ''Labor's Nom
partisan League" which seeks to COM
bat enemies of President Roosevelt.
Activity Of the new labor league
included an address in New York by
Sidney Hillman, president of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers Of
America, In which he urged labor to
support the President. He declared
