To Battle
Tydings
By EARL GOODWIN

Postmaster General James A
Farley and the full force of the
Administration Brain TruSters
and all, will be aligned against
Senator Tydings of Maryland in
his race for denomination.
This became known after long
White House pow WOW in which
Postmaster General Farley and
Assistant Attorney General Joseph
B. keenan, consulted at length
with the President.
There can't be much doubt that
in this conversation there came
out into the open Jim" Farley's
disgust with amateur national
political strategists who brought
about the situation now confront
ing the Democrats in Iowa.
FARLEY HOPEFUL
There is a hopeful feeling in
the Postmaster Generals breast
that the so-called elimination
Committee" vii! not go so far as
to eliminate the entire support OF
many of the well-oiled State ma.
chimes which have been and still
are all for RooSevelt-but where
there is a candidate for the Senate
not entirely satisfactory to Thomas
Corcoran and the others of the
"elimination committee"
The Iowa machine has been hurt
a bit. That was machine which
was for Roosevelt through thick
and thin. Postmaster General
Farley advised the President not
to let the Brain Trust monkey with
Iowa; and the fact that he did not
have anything to do with the
campaign may be taken as sure
sign his advice was not followed
MAY FOLLOW JIM
The White House associates may
follow Jim" in other States. In
the case of Maryland, the Post.
master General believed Senator
Tydings should have no Admins
tration consideration whatsoever
In the case of Georgia, the full
force Of the Democratic high com
mand, Farley included, will be
turned against Senator George and
will be as helpful as possible to
Rivers, who seeks the Senate seat
In Oklahoma there will be pub.
lie demonstration of Farley sup
port for Senator Thomas; and also
in Arkansas, where Senator Cara,
way will have plenty of opposi,
ton. She supported the President
in the court plan, however, and
there will be an open and full
Democratic national committee
support as far as possible.
SUPPORT ASSURED
OF course, in the cases of Sen
ator Barley of Kentucky and
Duffy of Wisconsin, the Farley
support is assured in advance.
Postmaster General Farley'S
view of these State primaries is
the practical politicians view Of
keeping the machine from as
much damage as possible.
He doesn't seem to care so much
about the status of a Senator with
respect to the old court fight
as he does for the status and
vigor of the State Democratic
political machinery which has
stood the party in good stead fol
six long years.
A Democrat is Democrat to
the national committee-but not
always to the Brain Trust.

DIES MONIES. Iowa, June 8
G.N.SO.-Given an overwhelming
victory in his fight for renomina-
ton, Senator Guy M. Gillette CD
today was assured of support from
all Democratic party factions
which opposed him.
Friends of Otha D. Wearin, de-
feated candidate who ran against
Gillette on a 100 per cent Roose-
welt" platform, joined in wishing
Gillette success. His congratula-
tory messages included one from
James Roosevelt, who, in the cam
paign, referred to Wearin as my
friend"
NEARLY 2 TO 1
Final unofficial returns gave
Gillette a victory just short of
2 to l in the largest Iowa Demo
cratic primary vote ever cast. The
unofficial compilation was:
For Gillette, 81,268.
For Wearin, 1852.
For Joseph J. Meyers, 1884.

ton, one of the New Deals most
severe critics, former Senator
Lester j. Dickinson was chosen
as Republican nominee by a
10000 vote majority. Unofficial
G. o. P. returns gave:
For Dickinson, 1852.
For Representative Lloyd Thurs

President Roosevelt and his ad-
ministration will have at their
command nearly $4,000, 600, 900
more than any other peace-time
Congress has provided to operate
the Government for one year.
LEADERS HOPEFUL
The entire amount, however,
may not be spent in the fiscal
year beginning July l. The Ad-
miniStration, it was reported, is
seeking to hold down ordinary ex-
penditures while expanding relief
and employ-producing expendi-
lures in the next several months.
While Democratic leaders ex-
pressed hope an upturn in business
will permit lapse of a considerable
portion Of the appropriations, Re
publican critics charged the ma
tion'S deficit at the end Of the
next fiscal year will range from
5000, 000,0 to $4,000, 000, 900.
1.-THE public debt. in all prob
ability, will rise well above $45,-
10000, 900 by June 80, 1885,"
said Representative Taber of
New York, Republican leader of
the House Appropriations Com
mittee.
MAJOR BILLS LEFT
1--WE can't let people Starve,
and we must maintain our ma
tional Defense" said Chairman
Taylor CD Of Colorado, of the
committee.
A tabulation, based upon Off
cial Appropriations Committee rec
ords, today indicated appropria-
lions will be approximately $12,-
800, 000,O 900.
Only three major appropriation
bills remained to be whipped into
final shape. They were the spend
ing-recovery bill, the last def
cheney and the agriculture supply
bills.
Taber estimated appropriations
will total $13, 400 900, 900. His fig
ures included recovery expendi-
lures which are disputed by lead
ers of the Appropriations Com
mittee.

President Roosevelt was being
urged by some of his most tried
and trusted advisers to put stop
to any further use of the oblique
method of throwing Administra.
ton support to candidates in
Democratic primaries.
PERSONAL HAND
Where the White House feels
sufficiently strong that one
Democrat should be preferred
against another, these friends
argue, Mr.. Roosevelt either should
take a personal hand in the situa-
ton or let Administration spokeS.
men put a sufficiently definite
label on the favored candidate to
make the issue clear-Cut.
Those holding this view were
quick to seize upon the Iowa re-
suits to drive home their position,
pointing out that Senator Guy M.
Gillette's smashing denomination
was being heralded as New Deal
defeat because WPA AdminiStra-
tor Harry L. Hopkins expressed a
preference for Representative
Otha Wearin and son-secretary
James Roosevelt had referred to
the defeated congressman as my
friend"
KENTUCKY TEST
Older and more experienced
Roosevelt advisers than those VINO
handled the Iowa strategy want
future preliminary tests OF New
Deal strength to come in such
States as Kentucky.
The President is publicly on
record as preferring the nomina-
ton of Senate Majority Leader
Alben W. Barley over Gov. A. B.
(Happy) Chandler, and on July
8 he will invade Kentucky to
demonstrate that preference to
the voters in series of personal
appearances from Lexington to
Paducah.
Administration leaders were
busy repairing any damage in
Iowa and restoring party harmony
behind Senator Gillette for con-
coded hard fight in the November
elections against former Senator
L. j. Dickinson. the victorious Re
publican nominee.
Postmaster General Farley, as
national chairman, pledged the
full support of the Democratic
National Committee to Gillette;
Hopkins issued a statement call
ing on all IoWans to support the
Senator, and James Roosevelt
wired congratulations.
DIRECT APPROACH
President Roosevelt will have
plenty of opportunity to try out
the direct approach" on his
fort h C o m ing tranScontinental
swing, which opens in Ohio and
Kentucy on July 8. He is speak
ing in Marietta, Ohio, at the be-
hest of Senator Robert j. Buckley,
opposed for denomination by for
mer Gov. George White.
The Chief Executive is routing
his train through Oklahoma at the
invitation of Senator Elmer
Thomas, whose denomination is
being contested by Gov. E. w.
M arland and Representative
Conner Smith. The President will
cross Nevada where Senator Pat
McCarran, one of the leaders Of
the successful fight against Mr..
RooSeVelt's Supreme Court en-
largement program, is up for re-
nomination, and he will wind up
in California, home Of Senator
William G. McAdoo, who possesses
a White House letter saying he
should be kept in the Senate.

With the House slated to pass
the $272, 100000 final deficiency
bill today, Senate and House con-
ferees sought an agreement on the
annual agricultural supply bill,
The latter measure, as 1t passed
the Senate, carried $758,000, 900
to operate the Agriculture Depart

Conferees on the spending-re-

thorization Of $500, 10000 and

What Is pronounced as the best
article on the Oversee Highway
ever written, has ben reproduced
IN part IN the New York Herald
Tribune. It was written by Ar
thur Brown, of New Castle. Penn,
brother-in-law OF Mrs. Robert
Spottswood. Mr.. Brown has spent
several winters here and knows
not only Key West and the Over

of the Coastal highway from Ca
Iais, Maine, to this city. Mr..
Brown In his article gives a gra-
phic description of each city
through which the coastal high
way passes, and intimate articles
of historic interest on the early
settlers and outlines the inter-
esting part of their struggle
which played an important part
in the history of the state and
