VICTIM OF PURGE
President Wins His Only

Shows Resurgence.
(Other elections neus ,Dtu be found

By G. GOULD LINCOLN.

ny W. ooOAD AAANNOA1Ns
Outstanding results in yesterdays
primaries in four States were:
/. President Roosevelts purge proved
effective for the first time, defeating
Representative John J. O'Connor for
the Democratic nomination in the
sixteenth New York congressional dis
trict.
Mr.. O'Connor, however, has won the
Republican nomination and in all
probability will be an important con-
tender for the House seat next Novem-
Der, running as an independent" as
we'll as a Republican.
2. The Republicans In Wisconsin
polled more votes than did the La
Toilette progressives in their contests
for gubernatorial and senatorial NOM
nations. This is the first time the
@. o. P. has made such showing
since the La F'ollettes broke away from
the Republican party in 1884.
3. Former Gov. James M. Curley
staged a comeback in the Democratic
primary for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton in Massachusetts,, defeating three
opponents including Gov. Hurley, the
incumbent.
The Republicans in the Bay State
named Leverett Saltonstall, former
Speaker Of the States lower House as
their hope against Mr.. Curley in No.
vember.
4. Mayor Frank Hague Of Jersey
City, denounced by President Roosevelt
by implication In a speech last spring
turned in big vote for the New Deal
senatorial candidate in Hudson County
where Mr.. Hague is boss. The Demo-
cratic nominee is William H. J. Ely
former w. P. A. administrator.
The Republicans nominated former
Senator w. Warren Barbour for the
Senate by q wide margin over two
opponents, one Of them a Townsend
plan advocate.
Fay Wins BY $50.
James H. Fay, who defeated Mr.
O'Connor for the Democratic nomina-
ton for the House after being backed
by the President. had q lead Of only
$50 votes. The complete count stood
Mr.. Fay. 1882; Mr.. O'Connor, 7,799.
Mr.. O'Connor, who had the support
Of Col. Theodore Roosevelt and other
Republicans because of his stand
against the Presidents reorganization
bill. won the g. O. P. nomination
over Allen w. Dulles, 1883 to 1859.
Mr.. O'Connor went down to defeat
to the man who four years ago mar
rowly missed besting him in a similar
primary, for Mr. O'Connor at that
time led by only = couple of hundred
votes.
The importance of the O'Connor
defeat, however, lies in the fact that
he Is at present chairman Of the i'm
portant House Rules Committee, which
controls in large measure the fate OF
House legislation. Mr.. O'Connor, at
tackled as an obstructor of New Deal
legislation, was the only one Of 1927
Democratic members of the House
for whose defeat the President per-
sonally called. although New Deal
candidates sought in large number
Of other cases to eliminate" Demo-

New Davidson
Board Really
In Hot Spot
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel,

Raleigh, Oct. davidson county s
newly appointed election board is on
the hottest spot in North Carolina to-
day.
Of course, nobody knows exactly
what the new board has been told to
do-whether it has been directed to
make a pro forma or nominal inves
tigation of the Deane-Burgin vote
there in the July primary, or whether
it has really been granted full and
free rein to use its own discretion as
to the 'sfinap' and legal returns it
will make to the State Board of Elec-
tons.
If the former is the case, the new
members possibly aren't doing much
worrying, all they'll have to do is
write out nice little report saying
that the State boards previous find
ings of fact were entirely correct.
They'll then certify the Davidson vote
in totals which will give G. 3. Deane
of Richmond county, the eighth con-
gressional nomination by % votes.
On the other hand, if they are sup
posed to make an independent inves-
tigation, think Of the pressure they'll
have to Withstand in Davidson coun
ty. They'll be besieged and beseeched
to "save the party and to save the
good name of our county"
The pressure will come from all
sides and from people with real in
