WELLER URGES
C. O,P.FIGHT FOR
S E NATE SEAT
Advises Selection Of
Conservative
BY THEODORE HUNTLEY

A conservative business or pro-
fessional man of high standing
will be put up by the G. o. P.
organization for the Republican
senatorial nomination in Mary
lard If party leaders take their
cue from former Senator o. e.
Weller, Republican national COM
mitteeman for the Free State.
In advancing this suggestion in
an exclusive interview at his home
in Baltimore today. Senator Wei
Ter made it clear that he himself
will neither run for the Senate
nor attempt to dictate the party
program.
URGES RACE
At the same time he feels
strongly that Maryland Republi-
cans cannot allow the Senatorship
to go to the Democrats by de-
fault, and that in view of the
fight on Senator Tydings by Rep
resentative Davey Lewis, Of Cum
berland. for the Democratic noni-
nation, it is doubly important for
the G. o. P. to choose a conserve
tive candidate to run in Novem-
ber against the winner of the
Democratic primary contest.
Asked whether the Republican
State Committee would be called
together during the next 80 days
to choose the candidate, Senator
Weller said he saw no necessity
for this.
Governor Nice is the leader
of the party in Maryland" the
former senator said, land will
head the ticket in November.
His views naturally are entitled
to great weight in any decision
reached on the senatorship.
EARLY MEETING PROBABLE
"It is probable that he and I
will meet soon with State Chair.
man w. David Tilghman, jr.,
and others whose views would
be Of value, and decide what to
do. Until we meet, I can only
give you my own idea as to
what ought to be done.
II do not think the senator
ship should be permitted to go
by default, by any means. I
think the candidate should be
q professional or business man
of high standing, and that he
should come from Baltimore.
Baltimore has half the popula-
tion and three-fourthS of the
wealth of the State, and in my
opinion the nominee should
come from there.
IF Senator TydingS should
be nominated by the Democrats,
the contest in November would
thus be between two conServa-
tives If the Democrats should
nominate Mr.. Lewis, we would
have conservative candidate to
run against him. regard this
as extremely important.
Maryland Is a conservative
State. It always has been, and
is now. 1t was in 1886, notwith-
standing the big vote given
President Roosevelt. That Of
course was abnormal. There will
be nothing like that this year"
NOT A CANDIDATE
"Will you yourself run for
the Senate this year?" Senator
Weller was asked.
Absolutely not" he answered
instantly. II will not run for
the SenatorShip or any other
office. I do not expect to be a
candidate for public office
again"
Senator Weller's proposal to run
q prominent conservative for the
Senate on the outside chance that
Lewis will beat Tydings for the
Democratic nomination, thus af-
fording a clear-cut test on the
New Deal in Maryland, is the first
plan advanced in any responsible
Republican quarter in Maryland
for giving the Democrats a fight
in November. It also finds him at
variance with two groups in his
own party.

expected to attend this picnic, and
the Farm Bureau members are COM
ing to this city at the invitation of
the Community Club. The club will
