New Dealers Send
Wallace in Attempt
To Hold Farm Vote
Intensified Efforts
Will Be Launched
During Week
BY LAURIN III. HEALY,
,..i.l corrsspond.nt Of The star.

Special CoIIebponuent Va A"o S'e''
CHICAGO, Sept. Illinois Re-
publicans, whipped into enthusiasm
By public and private straw ballots
that show the State leaning Re-
publican by approximately ST to 4a
per cent, made ready this week to
send two caravans Of State candi-
dates along the traditionally Re
publican highways Of "downstate"
Illinois l0l counties.
While G. o. P. candidates have
spoken frequently at county fairs
during the summer, next week will
mark their first concentrated effort.
Dwight H. Green, the nominee for
Governor, will lead one trailer cara
van to at least 20 rallies up and
down the State. Other candidates
will travel in another group. Way
land Brooks, candidate for the Sem
ate, who nearly obtained an isola-
ZIONIST plank in the Republican
platform at Philadelphia, will start
his tour a week from tomorrow.
There was little evidence on which
to Judge the effects in Illinois OF
President Roosevelt's transfer Of so
overage destroyers TO Great Bri-
tain in exchange for Atlantic is
land air bases. Republican leaders,
however, asserted both on and of
the record that 1t would have little
effect on this States isolationist
voters.
Wallace Makes Speeches.
To counteract New Deal uneasi-
ness over the Illinois situation,
Henry A. wallace, President Roose-
velt's running mate, was sent into
the State this week for 10 speeches
to farmers. The Illinois farm vote
piled up a 10000 majority for
Republican candidates in 1898, how
ever, and 1t was the Kelly-Nash
Democratic majority of $4,000 in
Chicago that kept the Democrats in
power.
Republican State Chairman Ben
L. Berve cited this downstate
majority as proof his State organ
ization could win a majority of
votes outside Chicago. Every
patronage once in the State is now
held by the Republicans" he said,
"and that will have a telling effect
on the election outcome"
Senator Lucas, Middle Western
manager of the Democratic National
Committee, will set up headquarters
IN Chicago next week. He admitted
that the President will fall far short
Of his 100000 Illinois majority four
years ago, but predicted victory by
"about 100000 votes"
The issues as Illinois voters see
them are centered largely around
the third term and President Roose-
velts foreign program, which Mr..
Brooks notably has criticized up and
down the State as tending toward
war.
Hershey Campaigns Alone.
Harry B. Hershey, Democratic
candidate for Governor, has spent
the last two months campaigning
the State alone, but other Demo-
cratic candidates were not quite
ready to launch their speaking cam
paigns. Mr.. Hershey's central
theme has been Roosevelt and
Humanity" which appeared to be
all the powerful Democratic State
machine thought necessary to carry
the State.
Gov. Horner, still seriously i'll in
q Winnetka mansion on the shore
of Lake Michigan, is the forgotten
man Of the campaign. although Mr..
Hershey's bid for votes has been
based largely on the record Of the
Homer administration.

They estimate that there are about
100000 Of them, out of our approNi-
mately 1870 to 40 millions of popula-
ton.
At this rate the committee men,
bers are not greatly perturbed.
They do contend that the "isn1-
atics" are nuisance. They add that
some of these chaps have done few
things that positively are illegal. For
instance, we have a law requiring
foreign agents representatives here
to register with the state department,
and it's evident that they haven't
all done so. Several of them have OBJ
tanned phoney American passports to
travel abroad, involving perjury. 1t
appears that, in several instances,
they're here in disregard of our anti
alien regulations.
But, in the main, the committee
doesn't hold that the "ism-atics" have
done anything specifically punish
able.
More Investigation.
What the committee wants is an
extended lease Of life, to 60 OH in
vestigating. Its tenure has just eX-
pired. Its members believe that
they're doing a good work which,
they argue, shouldn't be terminated
prematurely.
They don't think that they'll find
out much more than they've found
out already, They do reason that their
probe will make un-American &C

Fascist blocs and Communistic cells)

they'll catch an occasional out-and-

I'm not sure that it was Chairman

Personally Pm suspicious that the
Texas congressman originall: had a
Wltch-huntIng complex, similar to
Congressman Hamilton Fish, Jr.s,
lew years ago.
Fish looked under every bed for
a Communist. He overdid it. Nobody
was convinced that conditions were
as bad as he represented them to be.
Chairman Dies started off ap-
parently on the same theory as Ham
Fish.
It's Question.
I'm not sure. Perhaps Dies, initial
~, was as Wild-eyed as Ham was.
He started out like it.
Dies began by putting all sorts of
moderate radicals on the pan as if
they were red revolutionists. He re-
presented that every subscriber to
the League of Peace and Democracy
was Stalinist. Surely, a believer in
