SEES VAM'E IN PURGE DESPITE DEFEATS ISSUE DRAWN BETWEEN LIBERALS, CONSERVATIVES TRANSFORMED PARTV AIM, NOT MORE PERSONAL POWER . FEARS WAR IS EUROPE MAY DESTROY AMERICAN SYSTEM WASHINGTON, Sept. 16. The old line Democrats have licked the pres ident's candidates In every purge pri mary to date.

Many who are crowing over him state that his only objective has been servile law-makers. That Is not so, and It Is unjust to the president unless he has maintained on elabor ate pretense with his closest friends and advisers. He likes personal power well enough. In all conscience, but he Is also honestly convinced that the new deal represents American liberalism. He knows that the new deal does not represent the rank and file of the Democratic party. And his objec tive has not been an Increase In per sonal power. It has been the trans formation of the Democratic party into a liberal party. The crowing may (Continued on Page SU.)
