cincts in Massachusetts,. Curley had
246,424 votes, as compared with l04,-
33l for Greenwood and 37,l86 for
O'Brien.
On the Republican side, Henry
Cabot Lodge, grandson of the late
Senator. won the senatorial nomina-
ton without difficulty. His vote was
25l,7 to 29,054 for Cook, l2,903 for
Gray and 1886 for O'Brien.
Tammany Shows Strength.
O'Brien. according to the figures,
had six times as many votes in the
Democratic primary as he did in the
Republican. 1t had been expected that
the Union party ticket in the general
election would draw far more heavily
from the Roosevelt party than from
the Republican. The primary In Mas
sachusetts seemed to bear this out.
Tammany showed its revived
strength in New York's primary yes
terday. when its candidate for pres
ident of the Board of Aldermen in the
metropolis won over his independent
Democratic opponent, Frank ]. Prial.
Sheriff William F. Drummer of Queens
County was the winner. What this
may mean, in the election in Novem-
Der depends on how solidly the Tam
many organization goes down the line
for Roosevelt.
In Wisconsin, 39-year-old Gov.
Philip La Toilette was renominsted by
the Progressive party. dominated by
the La Follettes, without opposition.
In the primary, however, his vote ap-
pears to be greater than that polled
in the Republican contest for the
gubernatorial nomination and greater
than that polled in a similar Demo-
cratic contest. The New Dealers are
counting the Progressive vote for
Roosevelt, because both Gov. La Fol-
lette and Senator La Toilette are out
supporting the President for re-elec-
ton.
Third Party Candidates Lag.
One thing has developed in these
later. hard fought primaries. Third
party candidates, either Townsendites,
Union party or others, are not cutting
such a figure as had been expected.
The fight between the New Dealers
and the anti-New Dealers is too grim.
and the voters are placing their votes
where they think they will count. The
Union party in Massachusetts, and in
Michigan made quite showing in
the senatorial primaries, however.
O'Brien. the party candidate for Vice
President, bit into the Democratic
strength in the Bay State and Louis
B: Ward. the party candidate in the
Democratic senatorial primary run
ming against Representative Prentiss
Brown, had 1886 votes to Browns
s6,753 in 2,537 precincts out of 3,467.
Frank D. Fitzgerald, Republican
Governor of Michigan, has been re-
nominated by huge plurality.
Returns from 2,718 precincts gave
him 346, ,817, against A, ,208 for Fitch.
In the Democratic race Frank Muir
ply, high commissioner to the Philip
pines, beat G. w. Welsh, 153,490 to
s2,379. with 2.553 precincts reported.
In the Massachusetts primary re-
turns, very strong opposition to Gov.
Curley was found in the more than
100, 900 votes cast for Greenwood and
O'Brien. Massachusetts, is believed to
have swung largely back to the Re-
publican standard this year and
against the New Deal. With Curley's
personal enemies in the Democratic
party, it looks as though Lodge, his
Republican opponent for the Senate,
should have q good chance to win.
The Republicans nominated John
w. Haigis, former State treasurer, for
Governor without opposition. and the
Democrats nominated State Treasurer
Charles F. Hurley, also without op-
position, for Governor.
Representative Treadway, dean OF
Massachusetts, congressional delega-
tion and ranking Republican in the
House Ways and Means Committee,
was renominated. His Democratic
will be Owen johnson, nov
elist.
Gov. Bridges, supported largely, by
the younger element in the Repub-
lican party, won decisively from for
mer Senator Moses in the New Hamp-
shire Republican senatorial primary.
Complete returns gave him 45,3o7
votes, against 32,3l8 for Moses.
Gov. Bridges will be opposed by
Rogers, who won the
Democratic senatorial nomination
opposition. Rogers has been
, good vote-getter. The outcome Of
the senatorial race In November win
hinge largely on the strength Of the
Anti-New Deal sentiment and on
