INTO DIFFICULT STATES
r
SENATOR LONKKGAN OF
CONNECTICUT IS NEXT
ASK CUMMINttS TO IMCK
OPPOSITION CANDIDATE
HARD-PRESSED STATE
MACHINE IS RESENTFUL
WASHINGTON. Juno 21. The
president's determination to purge
his party of heretics has often been
questioned since the disastrous Iowa
primary. A few days ago, It was re
ported in this space that the de
cision to carry the heresy hunt into
difficult states, such as Colorado,
waa not absolute.
All doubts of the president's pres
nt zeal may now be forgotten,
however, since it Is learned that he
has asked Attorney General Homer
8. Cummlngs to find a candidate
to run against Senator Augustine
Lonergan In Connecticut. Lonergan
Is a plump, talkative, nervous, rather
mournful fellow, whose chief crime
Is opposition to the court bill. In
a normal state, he would not be
difficult to knock off, for he is not
the sort who works the voters up
to a frenzy of admiring enthusiasm.
But Connecticut Is not a normal
state. It has no primaries. And in
order to knock off Lonergan, the
new deal candidate must win a ma
jority of a Democratic nominating
convention bound and hog-tled by
the state organization.
As the president's heresy hunt Is
essentially an effort to destroy the
local political organizations with the
federal political organization, the
difficulties Involved in the project
to beat Lonergan can be Imagined.
Of course, the attorney general may
not find a suitable opposition candi
date. Of course, the president may
change his mind tomorrow. But the
mere fact that such a project has
been undertaken at all is vastly
significant.
In the last week or so, the canny
old attorney general has been chop
ping round for an antl-Lonergan
candidate on Capitol Hill. He has
visited the Democratic representatives
from Connecticut. He has tried to
put the heat on Loncrgan's much
shrewder colleague, Senator Francis
T. Maloney. He has talked over the
possibilities with several friendly ex
perts. He has met with disappointment
to date. Although the heat put on
Senator Maloney was very warm In-

W. Gill, state Grange master, attack
ed "enemies" today for attempting to
create a sharp division between agri
cultural and labor Interests.
Gill addressed the 36th annual con
vention of the State Federation of
Labor where yesterday resolutions
were introduced condemning the As
sociated Farmers of Oregon.
"During recent years." Gill said,
"certain groups of selfish or political
ly minded persons have schemed to
create a feeling of distrust between
farmers and laborers.
"They have sought to drive tbe
the wedge of hate between these two
great groups. From the farmers side
they have failed largely because the
Grange believes that problems that
exist between the farmers and the
1 a borers ca n be sc tt led arou n d the
council table.
Cooperation Appreciated
"The Grange appreciates the fine
spirit of cooperation that has been
manifested in the Joint farm-labor
relations committee as set up from
members of your organization and
members of our organization, acting
as a Joint committee.
"It la Important that we maintain
this friendly approach to each other
and those forces that have tried to
disturb such approaches have failed.
"I am glad to report to you that
the Oregon Grange session Just closed
went on record by a decisive vote In
favor of continuing the policies that
have been established In recent years
regarding our labor relations and pro
posed legislation that would effect
such relations."
