“UNITE IN DRIVE. AGAINSTF. D.R.
Coalition Bargain Sealed in Concluding Session of OARP RP “Parley.
BY LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent
. CLEVELAND, July 20.—Leaders. of three powerful minority political |
movements organized today to defeat President Roosevelt in a na-tion-wide campaign launched here in the second annual convention of Townsend Old-Age Pension Clubs. Their. candidate is Willlam Lemke. They also oppose Gov. Alf M. Landon, but the fire of enthusiasm is hottest against the New Deal. Leaders of the campaign, designed to prevent either major candidate from obtaining a majority of presidential ‘electors and to throw the election of the mext President into the House of Representatives, are:
1. The Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, whose radio oratory created the National Union for Social Justice.
2. The Rev. GerahtT. K. Smith, of what is left of the late Huey P. Long's Share-Our-Wealth movement. 3. Dr. Francis E. Townsend, cofounder and owner of Old-Age Revolving Pensions, Ltd. 3 The ' successful Coughlin-Smith-Townsend campaign to stampede the convention to informal indorsement of Mr. Lemke’s candidacy threatens to disrupt leadership of the OARP high command. Former associates of the aging doctor object to Gerald Smith's influence with their leader and fear the consequences of Dr.’ Townsend's participation in the Lemke campaign. g Leaves to See Farley They are struggling to confine the Townsend movement: to the election of Townsend-pledged Democrats and Republicans to Congress , and state Legislatures. Gomer Smith, Townsend movement vice president who was barred - from speaking at yesterday's mass meeting, left early today for New York to get back in the good graces of James A. Farley, Democratic chairman, Gomer Smith told close friends that he was going to New York and “get Farley's blessing so. I'll be known as a good Democrat in Oklahoma' and not be questioned every time I attend a Democratic meet-
Gomer Smith, who pledged himself to Mr. Roosevelt and challenged the priest and the Rev. Smith is about to resign. Other OARP board members privately are talking of taking a walk.
With both fists full of money, a sergeant-at-arms reaches for additional contributions offered by delegates to the Old-Age Pension convention in Cleveland in response to the exhortations of the Rev.
Gerald L. K. Smith, “Share-the-Wealth” ally of Dr. Prancis Townsend. They poured $3000 cash and $10,000 of pledges into the special fund to combat receivership suit instituted by ousted organization of ficials to break Townsend's _— .

is perhaps the most serious one of
all, and it is believed that it is to avoid such a fight that the government has urged labor unions not to strike in towns held by rebels. Avoiding Open Clash It is believed that President Azana is seeking every means of delaying an open fight in hope of avoiding bloodshed on a big scale. Socialist. and labor leaders are co-operating, as are Communists. Both Socialist and Communist leaders. ordered their men today not to demonstrate in the streets. All labor union leaders—seriously divided among themselves for months— joined in an order to their men to go to their jobs today. The workers’ militia, however, is
reported massing to defend the government.

The second explosion, which left the “big: building in ruins, was caused when the flames reached a truck which contained 75 gallons of kerosene and 50 gallons of gasoline. This blast also tore down telephone and electric power wires, disrupting service over a three-block area. Five hundred gallons of gasoline stored in an’ underground tank at the garage service station also were threatened. Firemen from stations No. 18 and 6 fought. the flames away from -this area and crowds were kept away from the site long after the flames “were extinguished. George Wishmire, R. R. 2, garage owner, was downtown at the time
of the explosion. He said later he

While the rebel Moorish troops are trying to consolidate and extend their gains in the south, an army of miners from Asturias in the north—the men who stood fast against machine guns and artillery in the terrible revolt in which they were defeated in October, 1934—is marching on Madrid to defend the government.
