BY CHARLES II. STEWART

Washington, May 25.-It is a bit
difficult to understand what David
l.. Lawrence's reasoning was when, as
Democratic State chairman in Penn
sylvania, he telegraphed to the White
House that the recent nominating pri-
maries in the keystone common
wealth amounted to another victory
for Rooseveltism."
In the first place, voting by the Re-
publicans for their candidates was
considerably heavier than the Demo-
Gratis voting for theirs, which sug
gests the possibility that the State
may swing back into the G. o. P.
column in November
True, in these mixed-up times there
are some quite New Dealerish Repub-
leans But the Republican who won
the Republican gubernatorial nomina-
ton in Pennsylvania is not one Of
them; he is Arthur H. James, con-
sentative. Clifford Pinchot, the New
Dealerish Republican gubernatorial
aspirant, was beaten overwhelmingly.
And for the Republican senatorial
denomination James j. Davis was an
easy winner. Despite his trades union
affiliations no one ever accused "Pud-
dler JimH of being a New Dealer.

and Davis will be victorious next au-
