The Primary in Florida
The Outcome Increases Probability of Coalition of
Anti-New Dealers and G. @. p in 1910.

So far as he may have felt any check
or restraint, due to recent events, the
restraint is now likely to be lessened.
He will feel confirmed in the state.
ment he sometimes makes, to the
effect that he knows more about the
popular psychology than any Of his
opponents or critics.
Democrats In Congress, especially
Southern ones. will feel that they
have been put on notice to support
President Roosevelt. Adjoining Florida
are two other States in which Demo-
cratic Senators come up for renomi-
nation this summer. In South Caro-
lima, Senator Ellison D. Smith will
come before the primary on August q;
In Georgia. Senator Walter F. George
on September 6. Both these are mildly
anti-New Deal Democrats. Without
doubt President Roosevelt and the
New Dealers would like to see both
defeated And without doubt the
recent result in Florida will encour-
age efforts to defeat Mr.. Smith and
Mr.. George.
Democrats Put on Notice.
In yet another sense particular
group OF Democratic Senator'S and
Representatives and other Democratic
leaders are put on notice. Those
Democrats who heartily oppose the
New Deal must realize that it Is going
to be difficult for them to get con-
troll of the party. One New Deal VIC
tory, especially in such State as
Florida. does not necessarily tell the
story for the whole country. But in
the Nation wide contest between New
Deal and anti-NeW Deal Democrats for
control Of the party in 1910. it is
apparent that the New Dealers have a
strong momentum. They get their
momentum from the fact that they
are in office, that New Deal Presi-
dent is in the White House and that
he gets credit for relief measures.
In this condition. anti-New Deal
Democrats must realize it is going to
be difficult to overcome the New Deal
by any action they can take within
the Democratic Party. In short, the
outcome of the Florida primary in
creases the probability of a coalition
of the anti-New Deal Democrats with
the Republicans in 1910.
