BALTIMORE, Md. Sept. Repre-
tentative David J. Lewis completed
plans today for a whirlwind windup
Of his campaign for the Democratic
senatorial nomination by going into
various counties of Maryland where
his opponent, Senator Tydings, is re-
ported to be the favorite.
The first stop will be tonight in
Annapolis, county seat of Anne Arun-
del. where he will address a political
rally arranged by Lewis for Senate
Club. He also plans to make several
other campaign speeches in Anne
Arundel County before moving on
to other parts of the State.
New Dealer Lewis latest attack on
Senator Tydings was made last night
in a radio speech broadcast by Balti-
more's WBAL. AS had been antici-
pated, President Roosevelt's two-day
purge" expedition in Southern Mary
land and the Eastern Shore and his
Labor Day speech in Denton furnished

milton to hurl at his opponent.
Nowhere has the issue between
conservative and liberal been drawn
in the more contrasting colors" than
In the Maryland primary campaign,
he said. The newspaper headlines
might have you believe that the Presi-
dent made this pilgrimage to the
Eastern Shore for me- But I have
no illusions as to that. The President
would have given equal support to any
other truly liberal candidate.
"Mr. Tydings, of course, also would
have you believe that the President
undertook his Maryland visit in re-
taliation against him. But
Br. Tydings should have no illusions.
In this race he and as personalities
are relatively unimportant, but We
are important in relation to the prin-
ciples for which we stand"
Explains Invasion"
About half of Mr.. Lewis broadcast
was devoted to the Presidents so-called
sinvasion' of Maryland and its pur-
pose, which Little Davey" explained
was to fight for his principles and his
program. But before he finished, Mr..
Lewis vigorously condemned Senator
Tydings for his alleged efforts in 1894
to block Senate investigation of the
National Dairy Products Corp and the
milk industry in Maryland as we'll as
along the Atlantic seaboard
AS a prelude to the outline Mr. Lewis
gave of his trip through Maryland
with the President, he departed mo-
mentarily from a prepared speech to
say:
There was no indication that the
people on the Eastern Shore had been
disturbed or frightened by the Presi-
dents visit"
Mr.. Lewis disclosed that Mr.. Roose-
welt carried with him on the trip
two editorials which appeared in the
Baltimore Sun in 1918, when, he
said, that newspaper was a liberal,
crusading force in the United States,
and when it had championed Woodrow
Wilson's right to enter a senatorial
primary in Maryland" He read one
OF the editorials and said he believed
the President rather liked it, because
1t expressed better than he could his
reasons for taking part in the Mary
land and other State primaries.
Although President Roosevelt did not
mention Senator Tydings in his Dem
ton speech, Representative Lewis said:
All of you who heard or read the
Presidents speech knew what he was
referring to when he spoke of those
who were trying deliberately to create
prejudice and class feeling that can
be charitably explained only as
political hysteria.' You know and I
keow that he was referring to the at
tempt by Tydings and men of his
type, both in and out Of Maryland,
to raise the red flag of Communism,
to attach the tag C.>I. o. to every
progressive political campaign such as
mine.
Sees Liberalism as Target.
you also know to whom the Presi-
dent was referring when he spoke of
the minority which is trying to drive
q wedge between the farmers on the
one hand and their relatives and
logical partners in the city on the
other He was referring specifically
to the cry of Communism which Mr..
7ydlngs has raised among the farm
ers, particularly on the Eastern Shore.
He was referring to the paid advertise.
ments in the newspapers, maliciouslv
branding both the President and me
communists, in an effort to widen the
gap between the farmer and his nat
ural friend, the workingman in the
city, drive a wedge between them
and not merely defeat me, but to de-
leat all liberal legislation aiming
toward the improvement of the farm
er and labor"
AS an example, Mr. Lewis said, of
how Senator Tydings has helped to
oriVe a wedge between the farmer and
the work-consumer in the city" he
told how his opponent had ATTEMPTED
to block the milk investigation by re-
fuslng, as a member of the Audit and
control Committee of the Senate, to
authorize funds for that purpose.
Then ne pointed out that the Tyd-
ings law firm represents the Fairfield
western Maryland Dairy Corp, the
largest dairy distributor in Maryland,
winch is affiliated with the National
Dairy Products Corp, which Mr..
Lewis charged, is represented by the
law f1rm OF the Senator's father-in-
law IN Washington, Joseph Davies.
Since Senator Tydings blocked"
the necessary money for the milk in
quiry. MIR. Lewis hurled this question:
Was he acting for them (the people
OF Maryland), or was he acting for the
Fairfield Western Maryland Dairy Co.,
which his law firm represented, and
for the National Dairy Products Corp.
which his father-in-law's firm repre-
