the United States, because Of its

Washington, D. c., Oct 81. -
Willkie rOoters in Maryland will
tell you publicly that they are
tickled to death over John l..
Lewis support for their candi-
date. But privately it is another
story. Privately they are worried
sick over what the bushy-brOwed

farmers.
And they are also worried over
the fact that Mauritz Hallgren.
labelled by Senator Tydings as a
Communist when Hallgren was op-
posing Tydings in 1888, has now
issued a mighty blast for Willkie.
Perhaps it is significant that the
pro-Willkie daily press in Maryland
played down the Hallgren state
ment for Willkie, but it is interest
ing that the Republican National
Committee did not.

publican National Committee ap-

Naturally nothing was said by
the Republican National Commit
tee of the manner in which Repub-
licans in Maryland during the 1888
campaign labelled Hallgren as
Communist" Nor was anything
said regarding the extracts from
Hallgren's books dug up by Sena-
tor Tydings in 1898 regarding
Hallgren's views on Communism.
