WALLACE ASKS
UNITED PART Y.
TO BALK C. 0. P.

BURLINGTON, VT. Sept. 20 Il.
N.SO.-Warning a divided Demo
cratic party will place the Republi-
cans in power, Secretary of Agri-
culture Wallace today urged the
Democrats to unite behind a lib
eral program.
Speaking before the Vermont
State Democratic convention, Wal
lace said that with the world in
creaSingly in a state of stress and
with democracy threatened on
every hand, it becomes exceedingly
important for all factions of the
Democratic party to unite"
With Republican leadership
developing as it has developed
since the great war" Wallace
added, "the only safeguard for
democracy has been united,
powerful, progressive Demo-
cratic party"
He predicted flatly that Presi-
dent Roosevelt's purge program
and attempt to liberalize the
Democratic party will not split its
ranks, and added but if it is to
remain in national power, it must
become both unified and liberal"
Subbing for Postmaster General
James A. Farley, Wallace also
warned that "in any national
fight between reactionary Demo,
Gratis and reactionary Repub-
licans, the reactionary Republicans
inevitably win, and if the Demo
Gratis are split, the Republicans
will win"
He said that ito hold and serve
The people," the Democratic party
must be progressive"
Defending the Administrations
programs, Wallace said the Gov
ernment was forced into spending
large sums for business and in
dustrial rehabilitation because of
spending for purely speculative
purposes, which occurred under
recent Republican regimes.
Unless really serious trouble
breaks out in Europe" he added,
private capital should begin to
flow again at a reasonable rate
in the next year or so, but when
capital does begin to flow again
in volume, there is vital need to
avoid the excesses of the 20's."
Wallace defended the Agricul-
ture Department against charges
it is playing politics with the farm
ers. He said articles of associa-
ton which govern the activities of
2,70O county agricultural conserva-
ton association specifically pro
hibit the use of these associations
for political purposes.

New York at Polls in
Crucial Test Of Purge
Continued from Page u

ioting in this struggle was expected
to be heavy because Of interest re-
Sulting from the Presidents choice
Of James H. Fay as the New
Deal" candidate to bring about the
purge" Of O'Connor. In the Re
publican primary. O'Connor was
opposed by Allen w. Dulles.
Each Predicts Victory
All candidates wound up their
campaigns with outbursts Of ora
tory. Each predicted victory for
himself but most political observ-
ers foresaw close battles.
O'Connor, who gained the Presi-
dents displeasure by opposing
some Administration legislation,
especially the reorganization and
wage and hour bills, aSSailed Mr..
RooSeveTt'S attitude on war last
night. Referring to what he termed
the lone great issue" that has
transcended all others raised
against the "one-man rule" of
President Roosevelt, O'Connor
said:
Would Gust ayes Men"
"War clouds have risen over
Europe and this country is about
to decide what it shall do in refer.
ence to foreign war. Some think
that the Chief Executive in order
to perpetuate himself in office

will plunge our nation into war.
THAT is all the more reason
why we shouldn't have these 100
