Republicans as Democrats But
OnIy for Politics Sake The
Anti-Nep Deal Increment ::
Thank you please.

WASHINGTON = Republicans may enter
Democratic primaries next year to help renoml-
nate anti-New Deal Democrats, but they Will
do so only as individuals.
The suggestion has been made by Mark
sullivan and others that G OPP. voters enter the
oppositions primaries in order to assure renom- .
ination of various Democratic senator's VINO nave
opposed the Roosevelt program especially the
court plan.
But the Republicans as party will discour-
age such tactics, believing that they could prac-
ticaly be guaranteed to break up party machin-
cry Candidates for governor, county commis-
sioner sheriff and other posts must also run
in the primaries and each OF these small Try
will be hoering at top pitch for votes in his
own party's primary. To have all these minor
candidates find the votes they were counting
on cast in the Democratic primary, would create
some rather bad reactions.
You may be sure, one is told, that nearly all
Republican state nominating conventions Will
be held after the Democratic convention in the
same state just in case coalition seems feas-
sble between dissatisfied INSTRUMENTATION
Democrats and the Republicans.
1t is just possible that some anti-Roosevelt
members will be fooled by such talk and, after
being defeated for Democratic nomination, turn
to the Republicans for nomination only to find
that there too many Republicans themselves
eager for their partys nomination.
