MACARTHUR FACES
TEST in ILLINOIS

the unofficial and now-abandoned
republican post'wa policy associa-
ton, accused Lyons of Isolationist
leanings. Lyons endorsed the re-
publican mackirac pronouncement
on foreign policy and promised he
would consider peace problems
from the perspective of what was
best for the nation.
Gen. Macarthur, whose name
was filed without his consent by
the Illinois MacArthur-f -presi-
dent club, has the nominal op-
position of Riley Bender. Chicago
real estate man, in the republican
preference primary. Macarthur
could not and Bender did not
campaign. Supporters of t h e
General are striving to bring out
a large vote foc him with the hope
that it will impress the Illinois
delegation TO the party's national
convention.
The names Of !, 104, 937 Illinoisans
are on the registration rolls, but no
more than halt are expected to
mark ballots. Republican officials
predict their patty will compile 60
per cent or mo"e of the toal vote
a trick unturnee by them since
Roosevelt entered the White House.
The Democrats, with no statewide
contests to excite the electorate,
have made no optimistic progno-
Stications.
