Fletcher Attacks Task of
Rebuilding Toward
Liberalism.
(Continued Prom First Page )
more liberal lines and at the same
time stand as the rallying post for
conservative thought? Can it do
this in the light of the fact that a
considerable proportion of the Repub
licans left in the Senate are any
thing but conservative. Mr. Fletcher
has a rough job on his hands, any
■way you look at it.
Senator Hastings of Delaware,
«•hose State stuck to Republicanism
Tuesday and who is chairman of I
the Republican Senatorial Campaign
Committee, insists the New Deal is
merely β dangerous disease that must
run its course. A lot of other Re
publicans take the same view. They
may be entirely correct in their esti
mate that it must run its course, al
though the Democrats, except the
very conservative Democrats, will dis
pute the suggestion that the New
Deal is a dangerous disease.
It is not unlikely .that several im
portant Republican leaders will coun
sel the party to play a waiting game,
In the hope that sooner or later the
new deal will become unpopular. Sen
ator McNary of Oregon, Republican
leader of the Senate, who took prac
tically no part in the campaign just
closed, was one of those who believed
in such a waiting game and so ad
vised his colleagues last Winter.
Some Cling to Old Issue.
The more aggressive anti-New Deal
ers continue to declare that in the
campaign now closed the Republicans
have laid the ground work for better
success in 1936. They feel that their
efforts have not been wasted, despite
the decisive defeats of anti-New Deal
candidates. They are beginning to
measure the size of the popular vote
to compare it with totals cast in 1932.
The proportion of the total vote ca«t
thus year for G. O. P. candidates is
considerable greater than two years
«go.
Keg îmenia non 01 industry ana
the farmer. Government in business,
and too much spending are still relied
npon as issues by some Republicans,
and they hope to be able to bring
these matters home to the people as
the months pass by, particularly if
the Federal Government finds it
necessary to impose heavier taxes.
The rout of old guard Republican
Senators in Tuesday's election has left
G. O. P. regularr in the Upper House
■with scarcely more than a corporal's
guard. They are. however, more nu
merous than the progressive Repub
lican group, which so often has been
insurgent in Republican administra
tions. But these progressives are a
much larger proportion of the whole
Republican membership of the Senate
—only 24 or 25. depending on whether
Cutting of New Mexico is finally
elected or not-—than in the past.
McNary Ha* Difficult' Task.
The Republican leader, McNary,
still has the job of reconciling as far
as possible the conflicting views of the
two groups Among the Progressives.
Borah of Idaho, Johnson of California
and Morris of Nebraska are the out
standing figures, with Nye of North
Dakota a more youthful but aggres
sive figure. The Old Guardsmen left
Jn the Senate have no powerful figure
or voice among them.
Vandenberg, who belonged to the
"young Turk" movement in the Sen
ate of a couple of years ago, and
McNary are the principal figures
among the regulars. It is not clear
now just how far the Progressive Re
publicans will get in their plans to
seize, if possible, the control of the
Republican party. There seems little
doubt they will try to get the upper
hand and that they look upon the
present as an ideal time, when there
Is talk of "liberalizing" the Repub
lican party. Tliey prefer to do the
liberalizing, however, rather than to
leave it to the hands of Chairman
Flewher and Senator Hastings.
Some Democrats in Dilemma.
In their opposition to parts of the
Roosevelt New Dtal and Its more rad
ioal extension the Republicans are
hoping for aid from the more con
servative Democrats. The huge sup
port given by the voters to the New
Deal program. however. mav give these
Democrats pause before they oppose
the administration. They may. how
ever, be found with the Republicans
fighting plans that go beyond the
recommendations of the President.
If Cutting of New Mexico is re
turned to the Senate the number of
progressive Republicans will be eight
end there will be 17 Republicans con
sidered liberal, although many of
them ate by no means of the old
guard stamp. Men like McNary. Cap
pe"". Vandenberg, while usually en
tirely regular, are more liberal than
Hale of Maine. Hastings of Delaware
end Barbour of New Jersey.
Vandenberg and McNary have both
been mentioned as Republican presi
dential candidates for the 1936 cam
paign. Vandenberg s re-election is
likely to give him a boost as a na
tional contender. How well this pair
of Republican Senators will get along
in the Senate during the next year
or two remains to be seen.

Its rule is shared by those old cronies

routine nature, which had accumu- !
lated during his absence.
The President's first act upon his :
return was to let it be known he had j
no intention of breaking the silence i
he has maintained since election
night.
To those who have talked with Mr j
Roosevelt privately, he has made it
clear he ran see no good reason for
any public statement from him at this <
time regarding the elections. He has
indicated the figures speak for them
.selves. With the sweet taste of the
New Deal victory the President
realizes he must struggle all the
harder to carry through his program
and to show the people that confi
dence In him has not been misplaced, j
Mr. Roosevelt must now set about i
perfecting his tuture recovery pro
gram. This will include working out
the future of the National Recovery
Administration, which by law. will go
out of existence June 15 next unless
provision is made for its continuance.
The President is known to have a
very definite idea as to what he will
recommend to Congress regarding the
N. R. A.
Faces Relief Program.
This will be one of the important
sections of the annual message Presi
dent Roosevelt will transmit to the
new Congress when it meets January
3. The President also is faced with
the task of perfecting the lelief pro
gram with a view to correlating it
with the Public Works Administra
tion. The extent of the îeliet pro
gram will depend upon the extent of
the unemployment situation and it
will include also provision for a per- !
manent rehabilitation program for
unemployed and underprtviliged.
Other than jotting down notes from
time to time, President Roosevelt has
not yet begun writing iiis message
to Congress.
It is quite likely he will reserve the
writing of this message for the quiet
seclusion of his little cottage at Warm
Springs. Ga. w here he will go the
middle of this month and remain until j
the first week of December. The Pros- !
ident's plans Λ this time are to leave
Washington November 17 and on his
way to Warm Springs to spend three
days inspecting the work of the Ten
nessee Valley Authority, one of the
major experiments of the New Deal.
He also will make a pilgrimage to the
Hermitage, former home of President
Andrew Jackson, near Nashville, and
will visit Harrodsburg, Ky., to par
ticipate in the ceremonies incident to
the unveiling of a monument com
memorating American pioneer·.
Widely Congratulated.
The President went to his desk on
the main floor of the White House at
11 a.m., to enter upon his long list
of engagements. He found his desk
piled with telegrams from all parts of
the country, congratulating him upon
the overwhelming New Deal victory.
One of his most interesting engage

Sweep Prince Georges With
Only One Post Closely
Contested.
BY GEORGE H. PORTER,
Stall Correspondent of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md , Novem
ber 8.—Having scored a sweeping vic
tory in the county elections, Demo- j
crats of Prince George* County today 1
turned their attention to the problem
of replacing successful candidates wK« ;
heretofore have held other public |
offices.
Chief Interest centered In the selec-1
tion or a successor to Perry Boswell. |
president of the County Board of
Education, who was elected to the
Board of County Commissioners.
John H. Beall, Democrat, elected |
to the Orphans' Court, will have to be ,
replaced as mayor of Mount Rainier. I
Today the political spotlight of the :
county will be focused on the court I
room here, where the official tabula- I
tion of the returns is to be made by
the Board of Election Supervisors.

The most important figures to be
compiled aâ a result of the canvass
are those affecting the register of
wills, a position which apparently was
won again by William T. Davis, Re
publican. who lias held it for the past
IS years.
On the basis of unofficial returns ι
from all uf the county's 36 precincts,
Davis was re-elected by a vole of 8.738
to 8.525 for William Robert Cornelius
Connick. the Democratic nominee. In
all other portions on the ticket the
Democrats won by majorities of 1,000
or more.
Official canvass of the gubernatorial
vote will, of course, be watched closely
here as well as in all the other
counties. There is no question of
Ritchie's victory in Prince Georges.
where his unofficial vote was 10,651 to
8,561 for Harry W. Nice, but Mary
land's Democrats are cherishing the
forlorn hope that the official count
may make Nice's victory less decisive
than is indicated by the unofficial
returns.
Boswell's ability and popularity was
attested by the fact that he led the
county commissioner ticket, polling
10.392 votes. He has been president
1 of the School Board since 1927 and
! may continue to serve In that ca
| paclty until the first Tuesday next
I month, when he will take office as
a county commissioner. It is expected
he will be elected president of the
! County Board.
Beall also must retire as mayor of
Mount Rainier by December, when he
will ascend to the Orphans' Court
I bench. The Town Council will select
I his successor. Among those mentioned
! for the post are Councllmen Norman
• A. Pruitt and John T. Duever and
former Councilman Roger W. Moser.
Besides Bon»ell. the other success
I ful Democratic candidates for the
County Board and the unofficial vote
accredited to them are James B.

: 10.165; Harry W. McNamee. 10.083,
and Vinton Duvall Cockey, «,774.

official votes were Robert A. Bennett,
j 7.47»; John M. Bowie, 7.843; William
A. Duvall. 7.551: Blroy Gasch. 6.893,
and J. Bryant Morrison, 6.464.
! In addition to gaining complete con
| trol of the County Board, the county
Democrats won all six seats in the
: House of Delegates. During the past
j two years there have been two Repub
licans on the County Board and in
the House delegation.
Although physically handicapped by
Infantile paralysis, Lansdale G. Clag
ett emerged as the "hero" of the cam
paign by leading the legislative ticket
with an unofficial voti of 10,807.
His successful colleagues on the
Democratic slate and their votes were:
Charles C. Marbury, 10,597; Kent R.

Egbert F. Tingley, 9,711, and L. Harold

the Legislature.
State Senator Lansdale G. Sasscer
was re-elected to the Upper House by
vote of 11.311, to 5,734 for George F.
Forbes, Republican.
The county gave Representative
Stephen W. Gambrill a 5.000 majority
! in his successful fight for re-election
j from the fifth district. Gambrili's
total in Prince Georges was 11.641 to
6.075 for Joseph A. Wilmer, the G. O.

DEMOCRATS FIGHT
SINCLAIR INROADS
Regulars in Pitched Battle With
•"X. P. I. C." Faction for
Party Control.
By th* A«*oclat«d Pre··.
SAN FRANCISCO. November
The <lie was c*«t today for a contest
between Upton Sinclair'* "Ε. P. I. C."
faction and old-line Democrats for con
trol of the party in California.
The former Socialist, defeated by
the Republican Oov. Frank F. Mer
riam in his bid for the governorship
as Democratic nominee, nevertheless
gained a foothold in other State
offices.
Culbert Olson. Sinclair's chief cam
paign lieutenant, was elected to the
State Senate. "Ε P. I. C." backers cap
tured at least 17 seats In the Assem
bly and one of the four places on the
State Board of Equalization, impor
tant tax and liquor control body.
The call to battle for control of the
party was issv.ed by Olson in his
capacity as Democratic State Central
Committee chairman.
"Only those who remained loyal to
the Democratic party during the re
cent campaign will remain In the
party and De recognised as Demo
crate," he said after a u» Angeles
meetinf at which Sinclair acted as
chairman.
William B. Neblett. law partner of
United States Senator William G. Mc
Adoo. replied that the "Democrats will
repudiate E.P. I.C." Sinclair countered
"The Democrats will repudiate Neb- j
lett."
William Jennings Bryan, jr.. whose
father was once the national leader
of the party, said: "Upton Sinclair,
who is not now and never was a
Democrat, must no longer be regarded
a leader in the Democratic party. His
Invasion has been repudiated."
Senator McAdoo remained aloof. He
said he "voted the Democratic ticket 1
all the way through."
The only doubtful California seat
in the California congressional dele
gation was in the twelfth district,
where John N. Hoeppel. Democrat, was
leading his Republican opponent, j
Frederick Houser. 43.645 to 42.028 in I
returns from S65 of the 430 precincts. !
If Hoeppel wins it will be a gain of
two in the State's representation for
the party. Twelve of the 20 House
seats were won by Democrats.

OF MUSED GLORY
At Least One Congress
Member and Several
Mayors Are Elected.
Br the Associated Pre»».
INDIANAPOLIS. November i —
Hoosier Republican.* as they took
Inventory following Tuesday* election
found gome sources of comfort.
Although the Démocrate elected
their senatorial candidate, Sherman
Mlnton. champion of the New Deal,
and all minor officials on the State
ballot. Republicans landed at least
one of their congressional candidates
and overthrew Democratic regimes in
a number of cities.
"It wasn't as bad as It, might, have
been." commented Harry C Fenton,
secretary of the Republican SU te
Committee.
As the tabulation of return* nearrd
completion it appeared Minton's lead
over Robinson would be approximately
50.000. When the veteran James Ε
Watson went down in defeat two years
ago. Frederick Van Nuys, his Demo
cratic opponent, finished with a plur
ality of more than 200,000.
Party Nucleus Retained.
With the election of Republican
mayors in a number of the 93 cities
where municipal elections were held,
G. O. P. leaders felt they would retain
the nucleus of their party organiza
tion.
The one Republican congressional
candidate certain of election was
Frederick Landis of Loganport. author,
columnist, radio commentator and
brother of Base Ball Commissoner
Kenesaw Mountain Landis. Landis is
striking in appearance, sharp of
tongue, and it is unlikely that he will
be a silent member of the House when
further New Deal legislation comes
before that body.
Mrs. Jenckes. the Democratic ln
cumbent and the States only woman
Representative, engaged in a nip
and-tuck battle as Fred S. Purnell
of Attica held a 938 vote advantage
in 299 precincts out of 359 in the
district. The total vote was Purnell,
55,122: Mrs. Jenckes. 54,214.
Minton Is Congratulated.
Senator-elect Minton came to In
dianapolis yesterday from his home
city of New Albany, where he voted
yesterday, and lait night received the
congratulations of fellow townsmen
and neighbors.
He called at the State House and
was congratulated by Gov. Paul V.
McNutt. He said he plans to go to
Washington late in December. He
will leave his eldest son. Sherman jr,
at New Albany, where the youth will
graduate from high school next year.
His wife and another son and a
daughter will move with him to
Washington.
BOLTON RE-ELECTED;
FOE OF NEW DEAL
Ohio Representative Pressed to
Win Over Youthful
Democrat.
By the A«tocu:ed Pr»s«.
CLEVELAND, Ohio. November ί—
Representative Chester C. Bolton,
chairman of the Republican Con
gressional Campaign Committee, was
re-elected from the twenty-second
Ohio district, it has become ap
parent.
A few precincts were still unre
ported. but Bolton's lead was suf
ficient to end doubts of the outcome.
A frequent critic of the national
administration, he was considered an
easy winner until first returns showed
his youthful Democratic opponent,
Wélllam C. Dixon, going into an early
lead.
