ENEW DEAL DEEP IN KENTUCKY’S
‘GRUDGE FIGHT
Chandler Aspires to Oust ‘Dear Alben’ Barkley From Senate Post.
7 By THOMAS L. STOXES Times Staff Writer TE ANKFORT, Ky, Ms'ch 18.— ~The 1940 Democratic national con“¥ention casts its shadow at iwart the - Democratic Senatorial centest in this state, a contest whose hitterness already has caused one political ~ wisecracker to remark that when it . ‘is over “there will be blood and hair on every stump in Kentucky.” Senator Alben W. Bar ley, the : “Dear Alben” who was personally - selected by President Roosevelt as his Senate floor leader, is seeking *. through re-election to gain = strategic Desftion in the race to ‘succeed dent Roosevelt. White House ambitions stir also in the youthful and energe'ic Govvernor Albert B. Chandler. known far and wide as “Happy,” who is seeking to oust the veteran Senator Barkley from politics and go to the Senate himself, there to promote “his own campaign for th: Presi-

But President Roosevelt «nd his Washington New Dealers re not . Jooking so far forward as 1940 in - this Kentucky battle. They =re concerned about the next two ; ears of * of the Roosevelt Administration. The defeat of their Senais leader would not only be a severe blow to the New Deal prestige, and be . capitalized as such by Republicans, but it also would deliver the Senate _ leadership into the hands of the rapidly solidifying conservat ve bloc and thus handicap the New Deal legislative program in 1939 and 1940. . Consequently the White Fouse is deep in the contest here, and it is expected to show its hands more openly before me YoLess go to the primary polls-on Aug. A canvass of ‘political experts dis- _ close that an apparent sw.ag toward “Happy” soon after ‘ie announced a few weeks ago .ias receded, and as of today [Senator : Barkley seems to have the e ze.
Resent Jabs at F. D. I.
The reported reaction »gainst “Happy” is attributable to veiled but obvious criticism of Mr. Roose=- * velt in January speeches in which _ the Governor spoke harshly of the increased public debt and 'joasted that he had handled utility men better, and got more from them, than had Mr. Roosevelt Oy his ‘harsher measures. ~ Farmers particularly—ard the rural vote, including the small towns which live off the farmers, constitutes at least 60 per cent of Kentucky's total —resentec this criticism of the New Deal, ard nine out of ten of them at a recent Louisville conference declarec themselves for Senator Barkley. Labor also is in the Barkley corner: As soon as Congress ac journs _Senator+Barkley will go abcut the state telling what the New D-al has done for farmer, labor ard the _ masses. He will not lef mniodesty diminish his own part in arranging * those blessings. At heart, Governor Chaniler is no New Dealer, according tc those who know him. One of his dols is , said to be Senator Byrd of V rginia, who has been busy fighting the New " Deal. Kentucky. anti-New Iealers will support him. To his advantage, the youn: Governor has a breezy, persuasiv: cam- _ paign ‘manner and a fine record as Governor which even his enemies concede. In his two years e has done more for the State th:n had been accomplished in the preceding 20 years, according to those who know. He has cut the States debt from $25,000,000 to $10,000. He cleaned out the Highway Depart-

ment, put it on an efficient basis and .began to build badly needed roads. He threw out the detested State sales tax and substituted an income tax, He advocated a new public utility law to wring the water out of utility financing and cut rates, but it is said he is weakening on this issue, which is one to be settled in the special session now going on here, and is negotiating on a compromise bill. His political ambitions are reputedly responsible for trimming on this issue. The Governor is not above political machinations to advance his fortunes. Because of such things as his control of the registration and liquor boards, and his recent penchant for labeling new highways with bold signs bearing his name, his enemies have tried to pin a Huey Long label on him. He has, altogether, one of Kentucky’s smoothest political organizations in many years. :
