DEMOCRAT RIFT AIDS 6. 0. P. IN PENNSYLVANIA

La Follette Rally Waited; Hoover Charges Moral Decline.

(Continued from Page One)

antagonism was the desire to keep control of the party machinery out of Mr. Lewis’ hands—even if they were courting defeat by so doing.

~ Enters Union Official

Thereupon Mr. Léwis embarked on his greatest political adventure by enterigg his candidate, Lieut. Gov. Thomas J. Kennedy, United Mine Workers secretary-treasurer, as an opponent of the organization’s choice. Senator Guffey, piqued by the rejection of his own -aspirations as Governor and fighting to regain his leadership, announced for Mr. Kennedy a few days later. .The climax came when the C. I. O.-Guffey forces finally. abandoned Mr. Earle, who has been regarded as a labor Governor, a devout follower . of President Roosevelt. Mayor S. . Davis Wilson of Philadelphia, elected as a Republican and later registered as a nonpartisan, entered the Senatorial contest against Governor Earle and received the Guifey-C. I O. blessing. : The third angle on the triangular battlefront is held by Attorney General Charles J. Margiotti, a slashing campaigner who ran for the Republican nomination four years ago and later turned in for the Democrats and received his appointment in the Earle Cabinet &s a reward.

Charges “Slush” Fund

Mr. Margiotti has been springing charge after charge against the Administration of which he is still a member. He has threatened the arrest of Democratic leaders on the claim that they are assessing all state workers a percentage of their wages in order to raise a& political slush fund of two million dollars a year. He. said Democratic leaders had gotten mysteriously. rich, and ~ that “legislation was sold for cash.”

. <. The Attorney General threw an-

other bombshell last night with a charge that $20,000 was paid Slate Committee Chairman David Lawrence and Secretary of bor Ralph M. Bashore for passage of beer legislation in 1935. Both Mr. Lawrence and Mr. Bashore issued prompt denials of the charges today. The C. I. O. forces have not pulled their punches either. A major sensation was created when Mayor Wilson charged that Governor Earle had horrowed $30,000 from Matthew H. McCloskey, rich Philadelphia contractor who is coleader of the Democratic organization in that city and has been awarded nearly 10 million dollars’ worth of state construction contracts. Pennsylvania - is the greatest industrial state in the Union. In it the C. I. O. claims more than a half-million members, chiefly in coal, steel and textiles. :

A. F. of L. Joins Fight

President William ‘Green af the American Federation of Labor recently went to Harrisburg to help organize A. F. of L. forces into a state-wide political machine sworn to defeat Mr. Lewis. _ Executive officers of the State Federation have just indorsed the full ticket supported by the Democratic organization. They also gave approval, on behalf of their Republican members, to the candidacy of Senator Davis for renomiination: and to that of Frank J. Harris for the G. O. P. nomination for lieutenant governor. The real battle of the A. F. of L. forces will be waged in the Democritic primary. A. PF. of L. speakers played leading parts at the opening campaign rally for the organization ticket.

More Money Than Ever

In bygone years the now lefunct Pennsylvania Republican machines would spend millions in a single campaign just to nominate candidates in a primary. But not until the pressnt bitter primary have such staggering sums

of the taxpayer's own money been.

involved in a political battle. Directly concerned in the latest outburst of charges and countercharges is the 65-million collar building program of the General State Authority, an agency sct up by Governor Earle to spend PWA funds. Directly concerned is the giant WPA payroll which is costing: the Federal Government 140 or more millions a year in Pennsylvania. Direcly concerned is the State's own direct relief fund, being poured out by Governor Earle’s administration at the rate of more than a ‘million dollars a week.

WPA officials, more potent than’

_ever because of the new ‘‘pumppriming” program, are lined up with

F. D. R. Aid to Attend La Follette Rally

MADISON, Wis., April 27 (U. P.). —Intimates of Governor La Follette believed today he will stake his political future on a national third party. and will make a definite break with the Roosevelt Administration at the organization rally he has called for tomorrow night. The Governor, [former Roosevelt ally, has refused to disclose his plans before the meeting, but he was reported to have told party planners that he wants to drop out of the race for state office and devote full time to building a new party on a precinct organization basis. His brother, Senator La. Follette Wis.), has taken no active part in the third party plans but has indicated he and his brother are in accord. State political leaders were stirred by President Roosevelt’s announcement that A. A. Berle, Assistant Secretary of State, would attend, but not attend as a representative of the Administration.

Three Republicans Flay New Deal

FRESNO, Cal., April 27 (U. P.) — Former President Herbert Hoover asserted last night in a speech be-

fore 2500 California Republican

women that “people speak less today of America” because or “doubt of her destiny.” In his second major speech since returning from his trip abroad, Mr. Hoover attacked the policies of the Roosevelt Administration. In summation, he said of America: “Pride. in her achievement is weakened . . . we are persuaded to think of ourselves as poor and helpless.” Mr. Hoover said that the United States was gripped by a “moral recession” and enmeshed “in a web of fears.” “We can fight for and we can restore the nation morals of hard work, self-reliance and intellectual honor,” he said. “Then the greatness of America will shine again.”

CHICAGO, April 27 (U. P)—Dr. Glenn Frank, Republican Program Committee chairman, said last night that a “growing concern” over certain ‘trends in the policies of the Roosevelt Administration is responsible for the current economic crisis. “The most important single fact about this new liberalism is that its

without admitting it, agd I hope without fully realizing it,” he said.
