this week, the Wilmington middle

rounds of heavy bag punching. III
three minutes Graves smote the
heavy bag 300 blows.
Most of those blows would be un-
comfortable in anyone's midsectios
He moved about the bag with steady
legs. His left worked. his right stung
the bag, nearly ripped it open.
Hitting Wright, however, Wont
be as simple as pounding heavy

hit back. He is an aggressive patt.er
and throws leather from either side,
sometimes from both.
Wright also boasts a good defense.
His jumping jack style makes him
difficult to peg with rights and lefts.
He is in good shape because he won
ten straight battles at the Whining

The Political Mill
Primary Day in Four States Finds Spotlight Turned
on O'Connor-New Deal Fight.

1t may be that the administration
will seek to have the Democratic
caucas Of the House eliminate" Ger
tain Democratic members Of the Rules
Committee. in order to bring about 4
sure New Deal majority in the COM
mittee at all times. It might make
such . move whether Representative
O'Connor Is reelected or not. If 1t
does. however, q storm will break over
the House that will make itself heard
and felt for some time to come. After
all. the feeling of independence among
Democratic House members has been
enhanced rather than decreased by
the results Of primary elections in
many States. The House has been
jealous Of its own rights and privi-
Nges. For the White House to seek
to dictate who shall and who shall
not 60 on its standing committees
and to do 1t more or less openly
would constitute casus belli.
May See Purge Justified"
A victory for the President in the
O'Connor primary would be hailed by
the New Dealers as sufficient justifica-
ton Of the purge" attempt-although
1t would in itself mean victory for
the President in only one congressional
district. whereas he has been defeated
in several States. The New Dealers
will argue that getting rid Of O'Con-
nor means chief obstruction Of legis-
lation has been removed. That may
prove to be the case, or 1t may not
as already indicated
Representative O'Connor's opponent
for the Democratic nomination, James
H. Fay, ran against O'Connor two
years ago in the primary He lost to
OConnor by between 100 and 200
votes. Presumably the President may
be able to influence enough voters to
overcome that margin Of defeat in
todays election There Is the chance,
however, that his purge demands may
arouse resentment-as it did in Mary
land and Georgia, and Fay will lose
votes.
O'Connor is candidate for the Re-
publican nomination, too, against
Allen w. Dulles-who is Republican.
If O'Connor gets the G. o. P. nomi-
nation that will be pretty howdy- do.
In the old Bay State, four Demo-
Gratis are seeking the gubernatorial
nomination-Gov. Hurley, former Gov.
Curley, 1t. Gov. Kelly and former
Mayor Russell Of Cambridge. Hurley
has made plenty Of enemies during
his term Of Office and might well take
a licking II he were renominated in
the November elections. However, the
Republicans would be even more
pleased to see former Gov. Jim"
Curley nominated for Governor. Cur
ley, they figure, would be pie" for
them-and he probably would. For
Curley has been pretty we'll discredited
politically. He has lost in his last
two starts-when he ran for Senator
against Lodge in 1896 and when he
ran for Mayor Of Boston in 1887.
Four In G. o. P. Race.
The Republicans have four candi-
dates for Governor of ssachusetts,
too. The leading candidate is Lev
erett Saltonstall, former speaker Of
the State House of Representatives.
He is expected to win the nomination
over the opposition Of Frederick But
Ter Of Andover, chairman Of the Board
Of Commissioners Of Essex County;
Richard Whitcomb Of Springfield and
William H. McMasters Of Cambridge.
Gov. Hurley and Mr.. Russell will

and are fighting over the nomination
Of United States senatorial candi-
date.
The fate Of Representative J. O'Con-
nor in the 18th New York congress
sional district is followed with interest
because Of President Roosevelt's entry
into the primary in opposition to
O'Connor-the last Of the Presidents
purgees. It is important also because
O'Connor Is chairman OF the House
Rules Committee-which has a con-
trolling hand In legislative matters.
Mr.. OConnor incurred the wrath Of
the Roosevelt New Dealers because he
opposed the Presidents reorganization
bill and led the fight which resulted
In pigeonholing that measure.
The New Dealers regard the elimi-
nation Of Mr. O'Connor as essential.
They charge that he has blocked the
New Deal legislative program. II Mr..
O'Connor is retired, Adolph J. Sabbath
Of Illinois, who is dean Of the House,
with q service dating from March 4,
1907, will be in line for the Rules Com
mittee Craftsmanship. Mr.. Sabbath
was born in Czechoslovakia Y years
ago He is an arden supporter of Pres
ident Roosevelt.
However, the substitution OF Mr..
Sabbath for John O'Connor as chair
man Of the Rules Committee, II 1t
comes. will not of itself bring that
committee into line with the White
House on all measures After all, the
committee operates by ma ajority action.
There will remain as members OF
committee q number Of Democrats
who have not hesitated to vote inde-
pendently in the past. The New
Dealers sought to eliminate some OF
them in primary elections already held,
but failed. There Is Representative
Howard w. Smith Of Virginia, for
example, who defeated his New Deal
opponent. the youthful Mr.. Dodd,
Overwhelmingly. Another is Repre-
sentative Gene" Cox of Georgia, who
has been renominated, and who led
the fight in the House against the
wage-hour bill and was a prime mover
against the reorganization bill. Rep
resentative Dies Of Texas; Greenwood
OF Indiana; Driver of Arkansas: Clark
Of North Carolina: Harlan OF Ohio
and Lewis Of Colorado make up the
remainder of the committee on the
Democratic side.
