BACKERS URGE THIRD PARTY TO SAVE JOHNSON Point Out Hoover Faction Will Fight Senator Tooth and Nail. By f-cripps-l/award Xetcspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Oct. 20—A third party to back the candidacy of Senator Hiram Johnson in the California primaries next August is being urged upon him as a way out of th dilemma in which his support of President Roosevelt/ has placed him. This was revealed here by Secretary Paul Scharrenberg of the California State Federation of Labor, who is one of his backers urging the move. Senator Johnson faces a savage opposition to his Republican renomination from the Herbert Hoover faction of the California Republican party. They control the party machinery and will run as strong a man as possible against him. Senator Johnson is not a Democrat, and while many Democrats will support him, it is doubtful if he would register Democratic in order to secure the Democratic nomination. A third party, probably called the Progressive-Republican party, is being contemplated. It would require only 16,000 signatures to a petition to create the new party. He then could run as their candidate and seek also the Republican and Democratic nominations. In this way he would be sure of the new' party nomination and he might win one or both of the other nominations. At any rate, he could pick up his full popular strength in the November finals. Once he were nominated, his friends believe no candidate could beat him.

G.O.P. LEADER TRIES TO RALLY ‘BIG BUSINESS' 9 James Wadsworth Decries ‘Dictatorship’ Trend of Democrats. By Scrlpps-Hotcard Xewspapcr Allianee WASHINGTON, Oct. 20—Quiescent political waters were stirred today by the reappearance of Representative James W. Wadsworth (Rep., N. Y.), regarded in some quarters as a 1936 presidential eligible, who seeks to rally party forces with the cry of “no dictatorship.” Speaking at Baltimore, Mr. Wadsworth professed to detect signs of a trend toward dictatorship in the aims of a group w'hich now' holds President Roosevelt’s ear and his confidence. Strong government control, he holds, is all right for an emergency but to make it permanent—as he believes some presidential advisers would do—would destroy the “American theory that the citizen should be master” and would mean abandonment of “individual liberty.” When In the senate, the New York political leader was a power among conservative Republicans. He subscribed to the theories expounded by Andrew' W. Mellon and his school. He deplored the philosophy of western leaders of his party who now are supporting the new' deal program. So his appeal Is ostensibly to capitalize the private resentment of some of the business interests against the governmental supervision symbolized in the NRA—the interests which long have dominated the Republican party.
