Lewis, said he believed the primary
vote would be lone of approval" for
the New Deal candidate
Mr.. Mullikin issued this statement:
Representative Lewis rests his case
with the people. and I am confident
their vote will be one Of approval.
There has been q very definite
swing to the Representative. Reports
from the counties are most encourag-
ing and I feel certain that he will
carry a majority Of the districts in
Baltimore.
There have been q number of
opinions expressed by newspapermen
and others as to the outcome.
need only to call attention to the
fact that four years ago Gov. Ritchie,
with an apparently well-entrenched
administration, supported by his Or
ganization in every county. failed to
carry single county on the Eastern
Shore in the primary election against
DR.. Charles H. Conley, who himself
did very little campaigning.
Representative Lewis has made a
vigorous, hard-hitting campaign. A
great many people in this State ap-
parently prefer not to vociferously
express their political preferences, but
go quietly to the polls and vote their
convictions.
"Mr. Lewis will definitely receive the
silent vote in Maryland and this vote
will be the deciding vote"
Mr.. Lewis speech. the second one

torial race-the New Deal issue.
Reactionaries think that II they can
nominate Millard Tydings on Monday

gogue"
Mr. T. Ormonde Nichols will speak
over Station VOL today at 6:45 pm,
in behalf of Mr.. Lewis, under the
auspices Of the Montgomery County
Lewis for Senate Club.

Tydings is the only one which Post
master General Farley has supported
publicly. Although there has been no
evidence that Mr.. Farley has taken
any direct action, there is no doubt
that strong pressure has been brought
to bear on Federal jobholders in Mary
land in an effort to drive them into the
Lewis camp. That the drive Is meet
ing with some success was evidenced
by the recent announcement of two
Tydings' appointees in Baltimore that
they will support Mr.. Lewis.
Jobholders in Georgia who have re-
fused to desert Senator George also
have felt the force of the New Deal
machine. Two have been ousted and
their cases have come under the scrut-
my of the Campaign Expenditures
Committee, which last week accused
a Maryland postmistress of viola ting
the law by supporting Mr.. Lewis and
referred her case to the Justice and
Post Office Departments.
In asking for the defeat of Senator
George the President told q Barnes
vile (Ga) audience that he was 4
"dyed-in-the-wool conservative" AL.
though Mr.. Roosevelt softened his at
tack on Senator George by calling him
gentleman and a scholar" the
reaction to his speech has not been
favorable. Even loyal administration
Senators have refused to 10 along
with the President, and some have
publicly declared their support Of the
Senator.
The Georgia race Is complicated by
the fact that there are four men seek
ing the senatorial nomination.
The other Georgia candidates are
former Gov. Eugene Talmadge and w.
g. McRae, q Townsendite. It Is not
expected McRae will figure impor-
family in the voting, despite the
smashing victory in California of
Sheridan Downey, also q pension advo-
cate, but it Is not unlikely that Mr..
Talmadge will pool enough votes to
necessitate . run-od next month be-
tween Senator George and Mr.. Camp.
George Campaigns on Record.
Replying to Mr.. Roosevelt,s chal-
lenge, Senator George has asserted the
Democratic party Is not and cannot
become a 'one-man party"
Stumping the State in q whirlwind
campaign, the veteran of Is years in
the Senate has campaigned on his
record, stressing particularly his votes
for farm and labor legislation and his
fight against the anti-lynch bill. He
said he had supported most Of the
major reform measures Of the past six
years.

Connecticut Democrats and Republic

with the New Deal and an "honest

The New Deal was thrust into pre-

Demands Chance for South

DURHAM, N. c., seIt. l0.-Sena-
tor Josiah w. Bailey, Democrat. Of
North Carolina demanded today the
South be allowed to work out its prob
lens without Federal interference, -
and called upon political mission
aries" to keep your nose out Of our

In q speech for delivery at q State
convention Of young Democrats, Sena-
tor Bailey asserted that the South
would prefer mo further industrial
progress whatever to a progress that
would dilute our Southern Saxon civil
ization."
Apparently referring to President
Roosevelts party purge" although
the President was not named, the
senior North Carolina Senator said
Federal efforts to destroy accred-
tied Southern leaders cannot succeed
no matter how much public money
is expended, no matter how many
political missionaries are sent down
here.
I'VE welcome ministers, teachers,
students and visitors from every
where, but We are determined to
throw out the professional uplifter,
and political missionaries who come
down to teach us the more abundant
life at 50 much per day of the Federal
money"
Senator Bailey, 4 frequent critic OF
the Roosevelt administration, was out
spoken in his demands that the South
be allowed to solve its economic, 60
cial and racial problems in the
Southern way"
"As for our race question:" he said
I'VE do not intend that Northern poll
ticians shall have hand In it. They
may do as they please in their States
but they must keep out of the South
Senator Bailey said President
Roosevelt had described the South
as the Nations No. economic prob
lem, but that the Roosevelt admins
tration had spent less money per
capita for relief in the South than
elsewhere.

Maine Elects Tomorrow.
Although outshone by the Maryland

also will be watched by national
political leaders for hopeful signs.
Because of its Republican consistency
in recent years, the Maine election
has lost standing as political baro-
meter, but national Republican and
Democratic leaders have been busy
there in recent weeks.
The Maine voters will elect three
Representatives, q Governor and num-
erous State ofhciak.
The Presidents first direct attack
on Senator Tydings came last month
when, at . press conference, he quoted
With approval from = newspaper edi-
torial which said the Senator had
betrayed" the New Deal in the past
and would do 30 again If given the
chance.
Following this up with his Labor
Day speech at Denton. Md, Mr..
Roosevelt burned his bridges behind
him by calling directly for the election
Of Mr.. Lewis, whom he described As q
true liberal.
The Presidents attack on Mr.. Tyd-
tngs, however, was something Of q
disappointment to many Lewis sup
porters, mainly because he placed the
Senator, without naming him, in the
conservative class, but did not point
out specifically where and when in
his opinion Mr.. Tydings had acted ad-
versely to the interests of his Mary
land constituents. In the abstract,
the speech may have been an able
plea for Mr.. Lewis, the liberal, but it
did not give the MARYLAND voters any
very tangible reasons for voting against

The Senate Campaign Investigating
Committee upheld one of Senator Mil
lard E. Tydings' charges concerning
the Maryland Democratic senatorial
campaign last night, denied another
and delayed decision of several others.
Senator Tydings had complained
that R. L. Hobart, whom he described
as contact man for his opponent,
Representative David ]. Lewis, had
gone to the post Office at Havre de
Grace, Md, Senator Tydings' home
town, and, after talking to employees,
went around the town looking for a
new postmaster" The Senator charged
this was an effort to embarrass him in
his home community.
The committee found that Hobart
is employed on behalf Of the candi-
dacy Of Congressman Lewis and that
he did visit the city and post Office at
Havre de Grace and did practically the
things charged"
At the same time the committee said
Representative Lewis had expressly
disavowed any offer or promise OF ap-
pointment to the postmastership at
Havre de Grace or to any other posi-
ton"
The committee denied Senator ry-
dings' charge that Eugene Casey, pub
licity director for the Lewis campaign,
had warned Federal onhceholders that
they either vote for Lewis, or out

In opening his speech Senator Tyd-
ings charged that false and mali
cious" pamphlets have been used
against him, but he said he regarded
this as . concession of victory for
him.
Turning to what he has done for
the county, the Senator said he has
in his Office the names Of 500 resi-
dents Of Prince Georges whom he
has helped to find positions in the
Government, or 10 times as much
patronage as his own county of Har-
ford has received. He said this num-
ber is equivalent to one person out OF

that their pay roll represents about

county.

Taking up the broader issues of the

As he paused there were cries d

attention to the tense situation ir
Europe and the possibility that this
country may again face war clouds

war merely because some one asked
him to, but would seek every reason
