Administration Loses
In Only Clear-Test in
Four State Primaries
By the Associated Fresa
James P. Pope of Idaho became today the second administration
' senator to go down in defeat this year before a Democratic primary
; opponent. He conceded Rep D. Worth Clark, an avowed conservative.
had beaten him In yesterday's Democratic ba Hotting In which new deal
support was the main Issue.
The only comparable case waa that
of Sen. Herbert E. Hitchcock of South
Dakota who lost his earlier primary
race to former Gov. Tom Berry, a
Roosevelt supporter with conservative
leanings.
Tempers New Deal Joy
Pope's defeat tempered considerably
the joy of administration lieutenants
over Sen. Robert J. Bulkley's smash
ing victory over former Gov George
White in Ohio. Bulkley hat " si
dent Roosevelt's personal support.
Pope had been supported by Post
master General Parley, who spoke
for him, and had been openly and
recently defended by Secretary Hull
for his reciprocal trade treaty stand.
In the third senatorial race, Sen
Hattle W. Caraway of Arkansas, an
other whom the president called
"friend" on his western trip appar
ently had a safe margin over her
nearest opponent, Rep. John L. Mc
Olellan. The Ohio vote assured Democratic
renomlnatlon of Sen. Robert J. fiulk
ley who, with 7,498 precincts out of
8.601 reported, had tallied 428.419
votes to 179,523 for former Gov
George White. Bulkley waa praised
by Mr. Roosevelt when the latter
visited Marietta early last month on
his way west.
Taft G.O.P. Choice
Ohio Republicans, balloting In
smaller numbers than tho Democrats,
apparently nominated Robert A. Taft.
son of the late president, to run
against Bulkley In November. In
7.818 preclnet out of 8.601 Taft had
281,814 votes and Arthur H. Day
203.487. .
In Arkansas Sen. Hattlo Caraway,
who like Bulkley received publlj
commendation from the . president,
was slowly pulling ahead of her near
est opponent, Rep John L. McClel
lan. The count for 1,523 precincts
of 2.002 gave Carawny 76.351 and Mc
Clellan 71.540. Vcnablo had t 540.
Because of President Roosevelt's
show of preference for Senators Car
away and Bulkley the administration
figured" as an Issue In their cam
pagns even though their opponents
were by no means antagonistic to
the White Bouse.
Idaho Uue Clear
In Idaho. however, tho lssuo was
clearly drawn. Sen. James -P. Pope,
a 100 percent Roosevelt Tian, war
opposed In the Democratic primary
by Rep. D. Worth Clark, who ham
mered home throughout his .junpalgn
he was not an 4dmlnlstratlon "yei
man."
The vote In 631 of 802 precincts
gave Clark 38.776; Pope 35,629.
In addition to tho straight out ad
ministration Issue, other factors
which entered Into the Pope vote
were his stand on reciprocal trade
treaties, for which he waj praised
recently by Secretary Hull and his
leadership In sponsoring new deal
farm policies In the senate.
Short of an open endorsement by
the president Pope nad substantial
Washington backing. Not jnly did
Hull write to him a few days before
the primary but postmaster General
Parley spoke In his behalf
yesterday's fourth primary. In
Nebraska, waa devoid of a senate
