BALTIMORE, Aug. 3l.-Represen-
tative David ]. Lewis left Baltimore
today to continue his campaign for the
Democratic senatorial nomination di-
rectly at the doors OF the Nations
Capital.
In Prince Georges County, bordering
the District of Columbia on the east,
Mr.. Lewis will speak twice tonight,
the first time on the very fringe of the
border line in Mount Rainier and later
in Seat Pleasant, where residents can
see the dome OF the United States
Capitol.
New Dealer Lewis return to Prince
Georges County-he spoke there last
week in Branchville-is really not re-
garded as necessary by his advisers,
who believe he already has that Sec
ton in the bag" But he is coming
back in an effort to counteract any
effect the presence Of his opponent.
Senator Tydings. might have in the
county. Senator Tydings is scheduled
to speak in the Hyattsville Masonic
Hall tonight at o'clock.
Appears With Sasscer.
Mr.. Lewis will appear first at a DO
Ntical rally with State Senator Lans-
dale G. Sasscer, candidate for the
Democratic gubernatorial nomination.
at Thirty third street and Rhode Island
avenue at o'clock. An hour later he
will speak at another political rally in
Duffy Stadium at Seat Pleasant.
Tomorrow night Mr.. Lewis will visit
Montgomery County to address a rallv
In the Leland Junior High School.
Bethesda. Mrs. Raymond Clapoer
and Bowie Waters, co-chairmen of The
Montgomery Count Lewiston Senator
Club. will introduce him. Prior to the
rally sound truck will tour the COM
munity inviting the public to The
meeting.
AS Mr. Lewis left Baltimore for
Washington, he indicated his appreci-
alton over the response he received
from his latest attack on Senator Tvd.
lngs which he made last night in a
radio broadcast over a special three
station network that should have
blanketed at least two-thirds OF the
great free State" of MARYLAND.
Mr.. Lewis spoke in the studios of
WFBR in Baltimore, but his speech
also was carried by WRC in wash
lngton and WEI in Hagerstown,
WRC. he said, covered the nearby
Maryland area, while WEI reached
the votersin Western Maryland, which
already is regarded as one of his
strongholds.
Little Davey" not only renewed his
attacks on Senator Tydings in the
broadcast but again defended the
right OF President Roosevelt to "in-
Vade' Maryland in his behalf.
Sees Disapproval of Barrier
For my part" he said, Il know
That the people Of Maryland thor
oushly disapprove of this campaign
against the President exercising his
constitutional rights. The signs which
greet the visitor coming into our
free State will not read-as Senator
Tydlngs would have them-'Welcome
10 Maryland to all citizens except
the President of the United States. I"
Mr.. Lewis said the real reason for
the opposition to the Presidents visit
is the fear of Senator Tydings and
his supporters that he will bear ef-
1ectlve witness to the conduct of Mr.
Tydings in the Senate"
Mr.. Tydings, in simulated indig-
nation, complains that I enlisted in
my behalf the most powerful man in
the world meaning of course Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Sees Voters Supreme
Ladies and gentlemen, the most
powerful man in this country-1 can
not speak for the worlds the man
and woman with the vote. The voters
put Franklin Roosevelt where he is;
put him there to end the rule of the
Tory Republicans who had left be-
hind them trail of broken banks, of
ruined family fortunes, of blasted
hopes and opportunities in general.
The Labor Day visit of the Presi-
dent in Maryland obviously is not in
their plan. 1t does not fit. So, there
fore, the President of the United
States must be treated as a carpet
bagger when he enters Maryland to
speak as Democrat leader in this
primary election"
The major portion Of Mr.. Lewis
radio speech was devoted to re-
view of the issues he has raised dur
ing the campaign He again pic
tured Senator Tydings as a Repub-
lican in Democratic clothing and de-
clared he had raised the implied
charge of Communism against both
the President and himself.
'All men know" he said, the Presi-
dent is not Communist, and all men
who know me personally. know equally
we'll that am not a Communist. I
have no sympathy whatever with its
methods or its aims"
Representative Lewis reiterated ref
erence to Communism was regarded
as his answer to the political adver-
tisements sponsored by the headquar-
ters of purge listed" Senator Tydings.
