to oppose Senator Tydings. Now that

they are expected to move heaven and
earth to get him nominated.
Men of Different Type.
The contrast between Tydings and
Lewis is marked. The Maryland SEN
ator is 48 years old, tall, with a mill
tary carriage. Lewis, q veteran of the
House, is SO years old, short and
stocky, with round, pleasant face.
He represents the sixth congressional
district, adjoining Washington, al
though his home is in Cumberland,
where he studied law while he worked
in mine and where he was admitted
to the bar. He first came to Congress
in 1911. He has been in and out of
the House ever since, serving from
1917 to 1925 as a member of the
United States Tariff Commission.
Senator Tydings, who rose from the
ranks to lieutenant colonel in the
World War and has all kinds of deco
rations for his service over seas, is a
graduate of the University of Mary
land.
Mr.. Lewis all his life has been a
New Dealer" He worked hard dur
ing his congressional career to i'm
prove the lot of the laboring man. He
Is credited with having done much for
the creation OF the parcel post system.
How he will run in a Statewide con-
test against Senator Tydings, often
vitriolic opponent Of New Deal legis-
lative proposals. should show beyond
a doubt the real sentiment of the peo-
pie of that State. The State used to
be accounted conservative.
The Loyalist Brigade.
The interjection of Mr.. Lewis into
the race for the senatorial nomination
In Maryland, completes New Deal
list of candidates against Democratic
Senators seeking denomination this
year who have been less than 100 per
cent loyal to the President, with two
exceptions. The exceptions are Sen
ator Bennett Champ Clark of Missouri
and Senator Lonergan of Connecticut.
Lonergan has gone along with the
President in practically everything ex-
cept the court-packing bill last year.
But Clark has been off the reservation
time after time. Both Lonergan and
Clark appear unbeatable in their
States.
While Mr.. Lewis was announcing
yesterdav his determination tn rim
against Senator Tydings, Lawrence
Camp, United States attorney at At
lanta, filed for the Democratic sena-
torial nomination against Senator
George, who has incurred the dis
pleasure of the White House, too.
Camp is q New Dealer. He was the
manager Of the campaign Of Senator
Russell for the Senate. At the same
time William McRae. also of Atlanta,
filed for the senatorial nomination.
McRae is rated Townsendite. His

is able to form an alliance with Gov.

At one time the New Dealers hoped
to be able to have Gov. Rivers make
the race against George, as q New
Dealer.
The Pros and the Ants.
The other anti court Democrs tic
Senators against whom New Deal can
didates have announced are Senator
Gillette Of Iowa, opposed by Repre-
sentative Wearin; Senator Smith Of
South Carolina, opposed by Gov. john
ston; Senator Van Nuys of Indiana.
whose seat Is sought by several 100
per cent Roosevelt Democrats; Senator
Adams Of Colorado. who never made
a formal statement about the court
bill. but was suspected" and who
has opposed much Of the Roosevelt
spending program. opposed by Justice
Benjamin c. Hilliard; Senator pat"
McCarran of Nevada, opposed by q
son of Justice Hilliard.
Not all Of the 100 per cent Roose-
velt Senators up for reelection this
year are unopposed. For example,
there is Senator Barley Of Kentucky,
hand picked by the administration for
leader of the Upper House, who faces
an attack by Gov. Happy" Chandler.
There Is Senator Bulkley Of Ohio, OPP
posed by former Gov. George White.
Senator McAdoo of California has sew
eral opponents In the fleld. The
Thomases of Utah and Oklahoma both
face severe Opposition. and SO does
Senator Pope Of Idaho. The matter is
not all one-sided in this contest be-
tween 100 per centers and those who
are not so pure from q New Deal
standpoint.
Hands on After Blessing.
President Roosevelt has declared q
hands-of policy so far as Democratic
primary contests are concerned. But
before the situation became embarrass-
ing, the President gave his personal
blessing to Senator Barkley against
Gov Chandler, to Senator Ryan Duffy
of Wisconsin. to Senator McAdoo, and
his son James Roosevelt, had gone out
on limb for Senator Pepper. But
since Harry l.. Hopkins, relief admin
istrator, stuck his neck out a week or
more ago, in supporting Representa-
tive Wearin against Senator Gillette,
the President has been more careful.
Positively, he said at his last press con-
ference, there would be no comment
one way or another from him on any
of the candidates for democratic sem
atorial nominations.
There are more ways of killing cat
than choking it to death with cream.
For that reason it is believed that the
administration may still be quite ef-
fective in its support Of New Dealers in
these senatorial primaries. But out
wardly. the hands-off policy has been
decreed. Chairman Jim" Farley has

A. L|SNER DIES
IN &TH YEAR
Retired Merchant Succumbs
Exactly One Year After
Death of Wife.

Exactly a year after the death Of
his wife, Abram I4sner, retired mer-
chant, musician and philanthropist,
died suddenly last night in his pic
turesque, antique e-flled home at 1923
Massachusetts, avenue.
Friends said the s3-year-old former
proprietor of the Palais Royal Depart
ment Store never got over the shock
caused by the death OF his wife, Mrs.
Laura Hartmann Lisner. He Is said
frequently to have called for a CAL
endar on which he would count the
days since her decease. They were
married in 1888.
Death came about 7 pm. to the
philanthropist, who had given two
large buildings to George Washington
University. He was said to have been
feeling we'll before noon, but lapsed
into a coma during the afternoon.
His servants and his nurse, Mrs M. T.
Spangler, were with him at the end
Funeral arrangements have not been
completed, according to Leon Tobriner,
Mr.. Lisner's attorney, but relatives
in New York have been notified and
are expected to arrive today.
Was Native Of Germany.
Mr.. Lisner was born in Muningen,
Germany, October Is, 1855. During
the early years OF his life, before he
came to America with his parents at
II. he showed marked talent for the
piano and continued his study Of music
in New York
His two brothers who had preceded
him to this country had established a
f1ourishing dry goods business and it
was not long before he was lured into
joining them.
At Is he became buyer for B. Altman
Co.. at that time one of the largest de-
partment stores in New York. but after
year and a half returned to work
with his brothers, to whom he sold the
idea of opening store in Washington
He came here in October, 1877, and
opened a store at Twelfth street and
Pennsylvania avenue, present site Of
VIC Isai0lSl I1OIcl
Il can truthfully say I made day
out Of night" Mr.. Lisner once said Of
his efforts at this time. Il was the
first to arrive at the store in the
morning and the last one to leave at
night"
Business Grew Rapidly.
His business grew so rapidly that
his store was too small to handle it
all and in 1893, despite dubious head
shaking by his competitors, he sacri-
ficed his Pennsylvania avenue location
and set up the Greater Palais Royal
at Eleventh and G streets. He was
at the head Of his organization con-
stantly until he sold out to the Kresge
interests in 1924.
In addition to being trustee of the
George Washington University and
the Georgetown Hospital, Mr. Lisner
was a member Of the Board of Trade,
the Chamber Of Commerce, the Con-
gressional and Columbia Country
Clubs and the Monday Evening Club
He was q director of the National
Metropolitan Bank.
An assiduous newspaper reader he
followed current events with interest
to the very end. He was a familiar
figure in Rock Creek Park, where he
took daily automobile rides.
