PRESIDENT SHY
AS TO VIRGINIA
POLITICAL TODD
Maryland Labor Day
Speech Seen Likely
By EARL GOODWIN

President Roosevelt has yet to
reach out his hand and say vote
for Lewis" in Maryland, or vote
for Dodd" in the Eighth Virginia
district-and yet he may do one
or both of these things before the
Maryland primaries, September IL,
or the Virginia primaries, AL
gust 2.
The chances are he will not be
able to say much about Dodd be-
fore August 2, as he will be on his
ocean vacation at that time; but
the chances that he will accept an
invitation to speak in Maryland
on Labor Day are today so good
that Maryland politics is hot with
the idea.
The President privately has
given Lewis his blessing for Mary
land. and the President would like
to see Lewis defeat TydingS; he
has instructed his field agents to
20 the limit for Dodd in tn e
Eighth Virginia district-and they
are going just that far; but I'm
less and until the President makes
some public gesture or utterance,
there is always wide. area in
which Senator Tydings and Rep
resentative Howard Smith can
campaign as good Democrats and
gather considerable strength.
Thousands Of Maryland Demo
Gratis believe it is a perfectly feas-
tble thing to support Roosevelt
and vote for Tydings, too: and the
same is true Of Representative
Howard Smith, in Virginia, who
has a record Of proNew Deal votes
but most Of them in the earlier
New Deal days.
But the Presidential accolade
Is valued highly in both these
neighboring States. In Virginia,
William E. Dodd believes he could
win easily with a Presidential
o. K. AS 1t is, the Dodd support
ers are hopeful Of winning.
There Is such a large silent area
Of farmers between Alexandria
and Charlottesville that polls and
reports are seemingly valueless.
Dodd supporters scott at the re-
port that Smith will win by four
to one.
