A. OTEARY. j The West is likely to Become a major battleground in ' the 1940 : presidential race, judging by the j comments today of several Senators ! from that part of the country. Senator Wheeler of Montana, who l has been mentioned frequently in | recent weeks as a contender for the Democratic nomination, predicted the farm vote in the Middle and Par West “may very well be the decisive factor,” and for that reason, he said the Democrats should hold their convention in Chicago or even} farther west. The Montana Senator said he made this suggestion “particularly in view of the fact that the Repub licans are going to make their big drive in the West, because they real ize that unless they can recapture the Western States they haven't a chance.” Simultaneously, Senator McNary of Oregon, Republican floor leader, was announcing he favors Chicago for the Republican convention “be- ! cause it is in the center of Republi- j can strength in normal times." He | added that'it is the major trading market for the farm producers of lilt: uuuxiixy. Would Shorten Campaign. Senator McNary also reiterated his view the Republicans should hold their convention about the middle of July to pave the way for a shorter \ campaign. Another Republican. Senator Cap per of Kansas, returned from Topeka with the statement that the Re publicans of that section “are on their toes and getting ready for a good fight.” Senator Capper expressed no per sonal preference among the various men who have been mentioned for , the Republican nomination, but said i that in his section both Senator Vandenberg of Michigan and Thomas E. Dewey of New York "have quite a following,” with some j talk also heard for Senator Taft of j Ohio. Senator McNary of Oregon ! and Gov. Bricker of Ohio. Predicting Kansas will be in the i Republican column, the Senator ' ! indicated he found the chief aim ' j there is to go into the campaign l with a united party. Soil Program Hailed. The Senator reported he found sentiment in his region against the j I reciprocal trade agreement program because "they want the American j market for the American farmer.” j On the other hand, he described the j soil conservation program as “the ] strongest if not the best thing that; has been tried out there.” He advised the Republicans to take a stand against “extravagant spending” and for a balanced bud get. “We can make some big cuts j j in appropriations and still do what is necessary for the farmers,” the Kansan added. When Senator Wheeler’s atten- ; tion was called to the statement issued yesterday by Senator Clark, Democrat, of Idaho indorsing him1 as a standard-bearer for the Demo crats next year, the Montanan said, "Naturally I feel proud to think that I members of the Senate who have served with me and who at times have agreed and at times fought with me over legislation have con fidence enough in me to suggest me as a candidate.” Thinks Roosevelt Will Run. Although his name also has been put forward by other supporters. Senator Wfheeler has not announced himself a candidate. He said re cently that after President Roose velt’s intentions are made known will be time enough for him to dis cuss his own plans. In this connection. Senator Cap per, when asked if he thought President Roosevelt would run again, replied: “My own view is it looks very much like the President is going to be a candidate. It looks to me like they are getting ready to draft him.” I B nai B'rith Speaker Hits Groups Promoting Hatred ! M. I. Baldinger, attorney, in a panel discussion of “Poisonous Pro paganda” at the Jewish Community Center, said last night that more than 500 organizations in this coun try “are designed to promoted hatred among men and groups by dissemi nating falsehoods.” He added: “We, in a democracy, have certain j rights, such as freedom of speech, which are in danger because some j of the very people who used that : right to the limit will be the first to deny it to others.” Other speakers included J. E. Bindeman and B. H. Flschgrund. The discussion took place at the j annual meeting of Argo Lodge ofj B'nai B'rith. Henry Salus was elected president, succeeding Sey mour S. Guthman. Others named were: Gerald I. Oxenburg, vice president: Philip Goldstein, warden: Alexander Shapiro, guardian; Dr. Maurice A. Goldberg, assistant mon itor; Moe Offenberg, financial sec retary; David Wiener, recording sec retary; Morris Garfinkle, treasurer; Isaac Lapidus, Tobias Cooper and Maurice M. Salomon, trustees.
