helped Mr.. Lewis in Southern Mary
land yesterday. the Governor replied
with smile, that he didn't know any
politics
Mr.. Tydings confined his speech to
praise of the Polish people for their
struggles to strengthen the status of
their country among the nations. He
recalled also how Polish heroes helped
America in its early history. Gov.
Nice. however. touched briefly upon the
senatorial primary situation when he
declared:
I'VE are not taking part in the dis
turbance on the other side, but We are
interested in the nomination OF Judge
Oscar Lesser, and when We nominate
him, you watch his dust"
Talking with newspaper men after
the banquet, Gov. Nice said that on
the presidential trip to Southern Mary
land he stressed the Importance of the
proposed new bridge as an artery of
national defense for the Eastern
Shore. and emphasized also its COM
mercial value because of the volume
of traffic passing through Maryland.
The Governor said there was talk OF
possible dedication of the bridge within
1S months. and. with a smile, he added
that his second term as Governor
would extend over to that time"
Nice TO BE Nominee.
Gov. Nice is a candidate for re-
election. The widespread interest in
the Tydings-Lewis senatorial battle
has overshadowed recently the guber-
ratorial contest, in which there are
four Democratic aspirants: Mayor
Howard Jackson Of Baltimore; Attor-
ney General Herbert O'Conor OF Bal
tlmore; State Senator Lansdale G.
Sasscer of Prince Georges and William
s. Gordy, jr., OF Wicomico County.
Before going to the banquet at the
Polish center last'nieht, Senator Tyd-
ings had attended 4 Greek outing and
German picnic, and had spoken also
at World War veterans memorial
service.
Although the Senator did not dis
cuss politics yesterday. he gave every
indication Of continued confidence in
the success Of his fight.
Mrs. James Gustavus Whiteley, 4
member of the Maryland State Central
Committee from Baltimore and
former Democratic congressionaltcom-
mitteewoman from Maryland, called
for the reelection Of Senator Tydings
on his record "as a forward-looking
man, a liberal and a Democrat"
In broadcast address Mrs. Whitley
said Marylanders must choose a Sen
ator themselves. because he Is to
represent us. II he is chosen by out
side influences, he will represent those
outside influences and not Maryland.
A Senator Is not soldier in a political
army, obeying the orders OF a superior
ofncer. He Is the representative Of 4
State. freely elected by his fellow cit
izenS."
Tydinxs Signs Prominent.
Although the President is coming
to Denton to further the candidacy
of Representative David j. Lewis in
the senatorial race, he will be greeted
in two places by large red signs ad-
vocating the nomination of Senator
Tydings. his major rival.
Almost directly in the rear Of the
platform from which the President
will speak there is one of the large
red signs on a one-story frame build
ing which houses the law ONCE of
William j. Rickard. 1t says:
I'VE want Tydings."
The other sign, bearing the same
legend, is about a block from the
home of Representative Goldsborough,
where Mr.. Roosevelt will have lunch
before he speaks. The. presidential
procession is to be routed by this
sign.
Strangers who came to Denton from
Washington, Baltimore and the far
thermost points in Maryland had
difnculty in finding accommodations
in the little town. Denton's only hotel
was overcrowded. and many private
homes took in guests for the day.
Among the early arrivals this morn
ing was State Senator Lansdale g.
Sasscer of Prince Georges County,
one of the candidates for the Demo-
cratic gubernatorial nomination. He
was accompanied by Mrs. Sasscer.
Mr.. Sasscer said he came to Denton
to hear the Presidents speech, and
not to do any campaigning In his own
behalf.
