TEST OF PURGE.

Due TOMORROW.
IN S, CAROLINA|
JohnSton-Smith Vote
Issue Clarified

The national primaries head in.
to the home stretch with balloting
in South Carolina and California
tomorrow, and the closing con.
tests will judge not only the pres
tige of the New Deal and PreSi-
dent RooSevelt's struggle to liber-
alize the Democratic party, but
also will affect vitally the 1910
presidential race.
Sudden and unexpected with.
drawal of State Senator Edgar
A. Brown, New Dealer, from the
race to unseat Senator Ellison D.
Cotton Ed Smith in the South
Carolina primary, confused New
Dealers here as much as it did
State Democratic leaders.
ISSUE CLARIFIED
His last-minute abdication left
only Governor Olin D. Johnston,
also a New Dealer, to oppose
Smith.
President Roosevelt said in
Hyde Park that the issue in South
Carolina now is clarified, and that
voters in that State must choose
between an ultra-conservative and
a candidate pledged to New Deal
philosophers.
The New Deal is not yet an
issue in the California Demo
cratic primary in which Senator
William Gibbs McAdoo is seeking
denomination, but Mr.. Roosevelt
wrote the tall, rangy Californian
to abandon his plans to retire
from public life and Endorsed his
candidacy while in the West.
CHARGE SHAKEDOWN
Charges that McAdoo's man.
ayers have shaken down Federal
and State employees to finance
the campaign are being investi.
gated by the Senate campaign ex-
penditureS committee. McAdoo
denied the accusations.
The Presidents policies likewise,
are NOT an issue in Nevada. which
ballots September 6. Senator Pat
McCarran, who fought Mr.. RooSe-
velt'S Supreme Court enlargement
bill, is opposed for denomination
by Albert Hilliard, young lawyer.
The President referred to Hilliard
as Brother Hilliard" in a train
side address at Carlin, New, but
he did NOT repudiate McCarran
as he did Senator George, of
Georgia, and Senator Tydings of
Maryland.
SEVEN STATES VOTE
On September 13 there are seven
primaries, including Colorado,
where Senator Alva Adams is op-
posed by Benjamin c. Hilliard.
Adams was marked for the purge
by the Inner, Circle, but ran away
with the Democratic convention in
July. and his denomination is ex-
pected.
Connecticut'S Augustine Loner-
gan is being opposed for the
Democratic senatorial nomination
by Representative Herman P.
Kopplemann, an avowed New
Dealer. The showdown will come
at the Democratic convention
opening September 13.
Purging operations will be ter
minated in the New York Demo
cratic primaries, September 20.

Pooling of Funds

The tendency of senatorial can
didates to pool their financial
resources with other candidates
for other offices in a slate or
ticket, promises to have repercus-
sions in the Senate when the
Sheppard committee reports.
Already the committee has been
stumped in it's efforts to ascertain
what was spent solely for senate
rial candidates in Illinois, Penn
sylvania and North Dakota.
The committee is now asking
the senatorial candidates in these
pools" to submit a separate re-
port breaking down the outgo on
their behalf, but reports already
received from these candidates
indicate they are having difficulty
in complying.

POLITICAL DEATH.

Urged in Carolina
BY GEORGE DURNO


HYDE PARK, N. Y. Aug. 29 Il
N.SD-Calling for the political
life-blood of Senator Millard Tyd-
ings of Maryland and E. D. Got
ton Ed" Smith of South Carolina,
President Roosevelt was returning
to Washington today to continue
his efforts to purge the Democratic
party of anti-New Dealers.
The President will devote part
Of the coming week to preparation
OF a Labor Day speech at Denton,
Nd. which was expected to voice
a nationwide appeal for repudia-
tion Of all Democratic aSpirants to
high office who do not subscribe
TO Administrator policies.
ASKS SMITH DEFEAT
In a bristling Sunday statement,
Mr.. Roosevelt anticipated tomor-
rows South Carolina Senatorial
primary and plainly urged Demo
Gratis of that State to nominate
Governor Olin D. JohnSton-an
announced 100 per cent New Deal
er-over the veteran Cotton Ed"
Smith.
On Labor Day in the heart Of
Maryland's Eastern Shore, the
President will take another two
listed punch at Senator Tydings
and ask the nomination of Repre-
sentative David J. Lewis.
Apart from pressing domestic
political considerations of the cur
rent campaign. the President was
returning to Washington to con-
fer with Secretary of State Hull
over the increasingly ominous Eu-
ropean situation.
The Presidents immediate con-
Germ was the outcome of tomor-
rows primary in South Carolina.
LaSt.minute withdrawal of State
Senator Edgar A. Brown from the
three-comered e n or / a race

appeal to the States electorate to

Smith who thinks in terms of
the past and governs his actions
accordingly"
Again, without m n tt onin

plication, Mr. Roosevelt called for
the nomination of Governor John
Ston, who thinks in terms Of
1888, and 1948, and 1858, as we'll"
An invasion of Maryland in fur

had been we'll anticipated. Some
days ago the President attacked
Tydings as a candidate who hoped
to coast in "on the Roosevelt
prestige and the money of his Re
publican friends"
SITE CAREFULLY CHOSEN
Denton was carefully selected
because the town lies in the heart
of the agricultural section of the
Free States Eastern Shore. Mr..
Roosevelt, therefore, will speak in
the rural section of the State. bear
ing in mind that the Eastern
Shore is a reputedly Tydings'
stronghold
"On Tuesday" said the PreSl-
dent. the electorate of South
Carolina will make this choice.
On them rests the responsibility
of selecting a representative in
the United States Senate to
play a part in the framing of
legislation to carry out the OBJ
jectives of the Administrations
program: legislation to improve
the lot of the average American
and give him security; to give
fair play to the farmer, the Ia
borer, the Storekeeper and the
great rank and file of our citi-
Hens."
When the President goes into
Maryland next week he will be
accompanied by Representative
"Davey" Lewis who was put into
the Free State senatorial race
explicitly by Administration forces
who want to see Tydings defeated.
