IGNORES FARLEY IN ENTERING PRIMARIES LEFT WING VICTORY SEEN IN INDORSEMENTS ACTION HELD ATTEMPT CREATE POPULAR FRONT FLORIDA VICTORY GAVE F. I. H. NEW CONFIDENCE WASHINGTON, May 10 The presi dent has offered hla august encour . agement to New Dcalish candidates J In' primaries In South Carolina. Georgia, and elsewhere. In ao doing, he has Ignored the urgent advice of hla oldest political crony. James A. Farley. And he haa sided, once and for all. with the newer strategists of hla administration's left wing, who long tQ see the Democratic party remade Into a sort of popular ' front. ' The president and his postmaster general have had a long-standing quarrel oyer the beat course for the democracy. Big Jim la a shrewd man. but no lover of novelties. He has pleaded for "organization polltlca." He haa argued that, so long as the. winners of local elections were la beled "Democrat." it was silly to worry about their views on auch measures aa the wage-hour bill. In effect, he has told the president: "There's no use bucking the boys In the precincts." From the start, the president was mors inclined to listen to Harry L. Hopkins, Robert H. Jackson, Harold L. Ickes and other more anonymous advisers, who have demanded "poli tics of principle." They have placed their emphasis not on party labels, but .on support of- the New Deal j" program. In effect, they have warned the president: "The conservatives are ganging up for 1940. What does your successor's label matter, If he shares none of your beliefs? You must fight hard, and now." The president haa made his usual eoy announcement that he ta not "interfering - in local primaries." Nevertheless, everyone knows he is. The best proofs are South Carolina and Georgia, where pro-New Deal governors have been persuaded by the White House to seek the senate seats of the hard-shelled conserva tive Democrats, Smith and George. Another Instance, less clear but quite aa Important, is Pennsylvania. The Parley statement, indorsing Gov ernor Earle for the senate' and the Guffey-C. I. O. candidate, Tom Ken nedy, for the governorship was the outcome of C. I. O. Insistence that the administration go down the line (Continued on Page rwo.)

Including KMED at 9:30 this evening. Henry L. Hess will speak at 7:30 from station KGW. PORTLAND, Ore., May 19. (UP) Gov. Charles H. Martin, seeking Democratic re nominal Ion in Friday's primary elections, was quoted a 10 to 8 favorite here today to defeat his principal opponent, Henry L. Hess, La Grande attorney and a former state legislator. The campaigns had only a few more hours to go, and activity per ceptibly diminished. But the air was filled with predictions In tho guber natorial battle, and It was believed by many that Martin may be nar rowly defeated in Multnomah county, containing Portland and a third of the state's voters, but that he would win the nomination by virtue of strong up-state support. Attention Centered The Democratic race for governor has drawn most attention, although the state will also nominate candi dates for one U. S. senatorial post and three representatives, In addi tion to county and state offices. No other contests were expected to be as close as that for governor on the Democratic ticket. In which the New Deal issue was surprisingly injected. Hess claims full allegiance to the entire national administra tion, while Martin pays personal tribute to President Roosevelt, but reserves the right to criticize others In the national, capltol. Sprague Given Lead Charles A. Sprague. conservative Salem publisher, was still conceded a long lead over seven opponents for the .Republican nomination for Governor. Willis E. Mahoney's head quarters were optimistic In the Dem ocratic race for senator, and State Treasurer Rufus Hoi man was be lieved favored for G. O. P. prefer ence. All three incumbent representa tives James W. Mott, ex-Governor Walter M. Pierce, and Nan Wood Honey man are In Washington taking renoml nation for granted. Supporters are carrying on mild campaigns In their behalf. Mott is a Republican, the other two are Democrats. Estimates a week ago were that about 55 per cent of Oregon's regis tered voters would respond Friday. But predictions went up over the weekend when the Martln-Hcss con test became intensified.
