PARTY FACTIONS
HELD AS DANGER
TO DEMOCRATS
By Byron Price
(Chief of Bureau, The Associated
Press. Washington)
Development of violent factional
ism always is a prime danger to dom
inant political parties, and the pres
ent situation of the Democratic party
is no exception.
In several important states Demo
cratic prospects in the 1934 campaign
have been complicated measurably by
the appearance of factions where six
months ago they saw no hope.
Senatorial candidacies have. In most
Instances, provided the cause of divi
sion, or else become the vehicle for
deep-seated disputes over local party
control.
It Is to the harmonizing of some
of these situations that Democratic
leaders now are addressing major at
tention. Upon their success may de
pend In large measure the party
strength In the next session of con
gress. To date the results have been
rather difficult to analyze.
Democratic national headquarters
has followed the usual course and
announced publicly a complete neu
trality as between rival senatorial
candidates.
Yet, In several Instances, local poli
ticians have claimed definite admin
istration support, have hinted very
broadly to the voters that Mr. Roose
velt wanted them nominated, and
have gone un reproved from Washing
ton. In Ohio, West Virginia. Indiana,
Texas and a number of other states,
candidates have been put Into the
field under circumstances which, on i

information, Out no menu a of ultn

without leaving truck in the noto.
And when Hergeant Harper i

teat ahot from the murder gun in
the basement, Dufresne rrtnaina
perfectly calm while hoth 1r. and
hire Vrovden are atnrtlert badly.

BATTLE OF WITS
" yHO knows?" asked Harper.
if
the dead man wrote the letters,
that will be all, but just a minute
ago you were ready to pin ft on An
drews. He's still very much alive
and quite capable of writing letters
if be wants to. Besides that, there
may be a genuine Mr. X biding In
the woodpile. It's at least possible
that these threatening letters had
nothing whatever to do with last
night's affair."
Lafferty snorted. "Sure, and may
be there weren't any murders here
last night. For Heaven's sake, let's
pinch somebody, then listen to them
arguing themselves out of It. It
would.?ave a lot of wear and tear on
us."
They grinned amiably at each
Other, but Harper went right on with I
bis analysis. "The next point Ib tbe
fact that each letter Is on a different
color of paper, yellow, gray, blue,
light green, and so on. A good qual
ity paper, too, though a little soiled
and faded."
"It looks like a set of sample pa
pers," Lafferty suggested.
Harper nodded. "1 think you're
right. It Is also my Idea that they
were written by a man of consider
ably higher Intelligence than their
contents Indicates. Printing the
words Is a dodge used by persons
who aro afraid that even a disguised
handwriting may trip thorn up. This
writer was shrewd enough not to
overplay his hand by the usual error
of weird spelling."
Lafferty set forth a new angle.
"llow do we know Dufresno turned
In all the letters be received? This
business has some of the earmarks
of blackmail or a shako-down stunt.
Maybe he Just turned In selected lei
tors and. when thoro was a chance,
settled the whole. business In his
own way."
"It wouldn't be out of character, I
agree, hut there s no hint of hush
money or blackmail anywhere
Thero Is just that sumo iiionounmim
threat to kill running through the
oight letters. Tho last Is priicilcally
the same as llio first. If iho writer;
wasn't crazy, what was his game?" ;
"Perhaps there was more than 1
one In tho plot and thuy got to scntp j
ping among themselves, with tho re
suits we know. There aro too many !
queer kinks In this easo to charm'
anything off to coincidence. There
tist bo a reason fur all these odd j
things."
"This is what I can't get straight
ened out." Harper confesxed. "I)n
fresno denies knowledge of any en
mlty. public or private, that would
aim at his life. In splto ot tho pecul
la.- hints ho cave out at our Urn I In
tervlew. Hut crank letter nro one
man affairs, and this case Involves
so many people.
"For Instance, there Is the dead
man. and the killer who suinehuw
escaped from the huuse and Hint
mysterious parson who hid behtml
the wall and watched, but did not
come anv nearer to the house. At
together too many performers for
that bunch of HkIiI little alllils we vo
bad banded to us. Last nlht this
their face, set up a presumption of
administration favor.
In the case of West Virginia, Na
tlonal Chairman Parley even went so
rar as to say In a public statement
that candidate Clem Shaver was one
of the original Roosevelt men, and
would, If nominated and elected, be
a source of administration strength
in i no senate.
Such a direct declaration by a na
tionai chairman is unusual, and It
becomes even more surprising when
It la recalled that Mr. Farley also Is
a member of the Roosevelt cabinet
and recognized everywhere as the po
litical spokesman of the White House.
His action will Increase greatly na
tlonal curiosity over the outcome of
the West Virginia nomination contest
In Indiana the candidate who posed
as the "Roosevelt candidate" was not
nominated. In Texas the reverse was
true.
kji course, once nominated, every
candidate Immediately affirms his
support for the administration, but
it will be Interesting when the nomi
nations are complete to see how many
reauy owed their selection to "word
from Washington."
It Is notorious that the party In
power has, normally, far more fac
tlonal difficulty than the party out
oi power.
The Republicans had plenty of It
when they were the majority party.
In each of the four Instances when
Republicans were voted out of the
White House since the Civil war
party split had a good deal to do with
the party defeat.
Of course, the Republicans are far
from united now, but that Is an old
story. The noteworthy thing about
the present Democratic factionalism
is that it disproves any presumption
that the party had been reunited
completely and freed of Internal dis
sension under the leadership of Mr.
Roosevelt.
The Knighthood of Dannebrog,
one of the most coveted of Danish
decora tons, was Instituted In 1219.
It is awarded only by decree of the
king for meritorious service to Den
mark. Recent experiments seem to Indi
cate that tooth decay can be at least
partially prevented by the proper diet.

hotel than a private house."
"By the way, Steve, wbat kind of
reactions did you get wben I fired
the test bullet in the cellar?"
"Oh, so you picked that spot on
purpose?" asked Harper,
"Sure. I beard voices overhead,
and I thought you were holding a
seance, so I let go. You never can
tell what may come from a sur
prise." "Well, you nearly scared the Croy
dens to death, but Dufresne never
batted an eyelash. It gave me a good
opening to break the news about
finding the gun. I predicted the bul
lets would cbeck up, and they have.
While I tackle Andrews again you'd
better bop over to Mrs. Morlock'a
and see wbat you can gather there
but bo smooth about It."
Lafferty rose. "Don't worry about
that, but I'll bring back the bacon
Just the same. And don't you be too
gentle with Andrews. It's about
time we sat down on somebody and
sat down haifl. We've been doing
all tbe talking up to now. Let's give
the others a chance."
After the detective bad gone Har
per gathered the letters Into one
pile. He rang for Andrews, and
when tho butler made his appear

door with an air of deliberation that
was not lost on Andrews.
"Have a chair, Andrews. We va
a bit of talking to do, you and I."

as he was bidden, losing nono of bis
pofse, evincing no nervousness or
surprise. Kach man Bensed the an
tagonist la the other as they meas
ured each otherwfth grave, level
glances.
"Andrews, do you keep a diary?"
"No. sir." This unexpected In
quiry aroused no more curiosity than
a query about the weather.
"Mow Is your memory for dales,
Andrews?"
"Not as good as It used to bo, sir.
As I grow older I Hnd one day very

Harper abandoned thai Mun at In

"Not to my knowledge, sir, and
certainly never in this house."

nounced today by the Italian box

lty Alan J. (inula
You read that Paul Runyan beat
Craig Wood In a "putting duel"- In
the final round of the P. G. A. cham
pionship but do the golfing pic
tures show either Mr. Runyan or Mr.
Wood at the delicate task of making
the strokes that mean most on the
scorecard, either duffer or pro?
On the contrary, they invariably
show Mr. Wood at the top of a full
swing and the caption refers to him
as the "belting beauty" from Holly
wood. N. J., or they Illustrate Mr.
Runyan at the rinlsh of his somewhat
unorthodox stroking style. This, I
suppose, comes under the heading of
"action" and Is therefore more at
tractive for picture purposes than the
solid stance of the man bending over
the little ball on the green.
The question we all want answered,
however. Is "How can we take fewer
putts?"
At least It's the most important
question for the average golfer and
we have the August Issue of "The
Rotorlan" to thank for some real
attempt to answer it. There's an
article by Francis Ouimet, the emi
nent Bostonlan, on "Putting Begins
at Home.
It may be Just as well to leave the

Evans and Yardon
"Two of the greatest golfers of their
time were Chick Evans and Harry
Vardon. They were almost perfect
from tea to green but once on the
soft grass their troubles began. They
had their days when they could do
the almost miraculous on the green
but on the whole they were mediocre
putters. Why? My own opinion Is
that neither Evans nor Vardon de
veloped a sound putting stroke. Fre
quent discouraging failures deprived
them of the essential confidence with
the result that they did not stick to
one technique, but frequently shifted.
"It is not easy, I know, to go along
missing holeable putts without mak
ing some effort to correct the fault
with a new style. Usually, when j
asked for a tip. t suggest a change
in putters instead of trying an en
tirely new stroke.
"It is Important to learn the best
style at the outset and then have
few bad habits to unlearn."
"Never Concede a Putt'
After discussing the relative val
ues of using the living room rug or
home-made contrivances for putting
practice, a subject which we will pass
over lightly, Ouimet continues: "In

finish low. You do not need to lift
the ball, you know, but merely send
it along the ground smoothly.
"After all, It Is In the short putts
thnt skill counts most. Everyone holes
a putt sometimes from the edge of
the green but there Is a decided ele
ment of luck In that.
"Gene Sarazen feels that too great
a premium Is placed on putting and
too little on iron play. They may
be some merit In what he says but I
believe that Instead of having a
large-Blzed cup as he suggests, the
green could be made smaller. This
would not only place a premium on
a fine iron shot but also on the chip
"shot." -

his own way for dealing with radi

communist paper outside his works

"You ought to go to Russia," he

the trip plane progressed until Lord
