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

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.

with the preliminary figures submit
ted to congress by the president In
January. The January estimates con
templated a 6950.000.000 deficit.
The figures remain uncertain be
cause relief needs can not be pre
dicted accurately at this time. The
president haa asked 11.350 000.000 to
