My Old Friend Thomas

OKLAHOMA CITY, July
II (UP) Oklahoma's primary
provided today a partial test
of the effectiveness of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's trans-conti-
mental tour urging the nomination
and election of liberal congressional
candidates.
Senator Elmer Thomas, to whom
Mr.. Roosevelt referred to in his
speech here Saturday as my old
friend, was opposed by Gov. E,
w. Marland and Rep. Conner Smith.
Both Marland and Smith were con-
ceded chance of defeating Thomas
before the president visited Okla
homa.
Whether Mr.. Roosevelt's appear
ance and inferential endorsement
of Thomas was of sufficient politi-
cal significance to secure the re-
election of the senator will be de-
termined in today's balloting.
The winners of today's nomina-
tions will be pitted against Repub-
lican nominees in the general elec-
ton. Approximately 100000 votes,
including some $1,000 Republican,
will be cast in the primary, officials
believed.

the senatorial race was the Demo-
cratic campaign for governor. Will
