Times Special Writer
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.—Confidence is expressed by the best practical politicians in the Administration that President Roosevelt's, Senatorial “purge,” despite animosities engendered here and there, has not jeopardized his control of the, 1040 Democratic convention. They base this conviction largely on the fact that the two-thirds nominating rule was abolished by | the 1938 convention in Philadelphia. The President thus will need only a majority of the votes in the 1940 convention to hold control, and not the t®%o-thirds which was required to nominate him in '32 and renominate him in "36. | Hopes of conservatives to capture the convention are based chiefly on Southern delegations, with a few scattered elsewhere, but when all these are counted up the total is| still much below the necessary maJority. South Lost Power Southerners are acutely conscious | of the power they lost through re-| peal of the two-thirds rule, with] which they have usually been abla in the past to exert influence in the | selection of the nominee, and in some cases, to exercise an actual veto in combination with other] delegations. | Beyond this practical matter of} the new nominating rule, thej President's political lieutenants say | Mr. Roosevelt's personal popularity | has not been affected by the purge, though he discovered it would not] stretch to the point of accepting his interfence in state elections. Of course, any snowballing shift of public sentiment away from the President would change all these calculations. Or war in Europe might solidify Mr. Roosevelt's hold | upon: the people | The end of the purge finds many here emitting sighs of relief, and about the heaviest came from the deep chest of James A Farley, | who suffered considerably over the whole procedure. Still Genial Jim But Big Jim took the whole business philosophically, and now he will resume command as political general while the “purgers” step into the background. | His endeavor will be, as far as possible, to heal the wounds caused by the purge. He has sent the usual congratulatory telegrams 1o those whom the President sought to defeat As to 1940, the national chairman avows that he knows nothing offi] cial of Mr. Roosevelt's intentions--| and doubts if anyone else does.

Rules Committee in New York's 16th | congressional distriet. Four states vote tomorrow: New Jersey, Wisconsin, Massachusetts and New York. | But bigger things are brewing in New York State than the so-called “purge” directed against Rep. O'Connor. Republican and Democratic conventions to nominate gubernatorial and senatorial candidates meet next week. Republicans may name Thomas BE. Dewey for Governor—the young man who startled the country with a performance of rackete busting that led to his joust this month with James J. Hines of Tammany Hall.
President-Strewn Path
There are Republicans in New York and elsewhere who believe Mr. Dewey is on his way to the White House by way of the Governor's mansion in Albany, N. Y. Two Roosevelts, Grover Cleveland, and Charles Evans Hughes within the lifetime of many persons now living have gone all or part of the way along that pathway to high place. The Republican convention will meet, first. If Mr. Dewey is named, | Democratic chieftains probably will try to draft Senator Robert F. Wagner to run against him. Senator Wagner led the Democratic ticket in New York in 1932, even topping! the vote of Mr. Roosevelt. | Rep. O'Connor, entered in both Democratic and Republican primaries, is opposed by James H Fay, New Dealer, in the former, and by Allen W. Dulles, lawyer and former foreign service officer, in the latter. Mr. Fay is backed by the American Labor Party, by the President and by the New Deal organization Rep. O'Connor charges that he has Communist support—as well. Mr Roosevelt, over the week-end, re- | iterated that he wants Mr. Fay to win,
Significant of Changes
There is no better evidence in the nation than in New York's 16th] District of the fundamental changes taking place in party organizations. O'Connor, by virtue of his Rules Committee chairmanship, is one of the three-man Democratic high command in the House of Representatives, but is bidding now for | Republican as well as Democratic | support, and is denounced by a} Democratic President, on whose political staff, under normal conditions, he would rate as a brigade commander, at least.

Until he talks, a huge questionmark should be placed afer any and all speculation about 1940.
Self -Promoted Draft?
Mr. Farley denied any rift with] the President, and in the course of his discussion of the future took pains to point out that, whether Mr Roosevelt runs in 1940 or not, there can be no quick shift from Roose-| velt policies. Emphasizing the grip] which the President has on the pub- | lic, he says there is no rival states-| man on the horizon at present “that can successfully challenge his influence at ballot box.” Those are significant words. Some experts—including those who feel certain that Mr. Roosevelt | intends to seek renomination—believe he will say nothing, will let rival candidates claw at each other. | and then, at the proper time in the convention, will be brought forward as the only hope of preventing a serious party split That would be a sort of self-pro-moted “draft.”

Primary Contests
ATLANTA, Ga. Sept. 18 (U. P) —Former Governor Eugene Talmadge sald today he had filed in seven counties a contest of the Democratic primary in which he was defeated for Senatorial nomination by Senator Walter F. George and added ‘we plan contests in 23 or 30 more.” Talmadge charged “illegal voting and stuffing.”

WASHINGTON, Sept. 192 (U.

There was some intimation earlier that Mr. Roosevelt might act in New Jersey in connection with charges that the Hague machine ignored constitutional guarantees of free speech and assembly, but nothing has come of it so far.
Fireside Chat Recalled
In a fireside chat last June 24 Mr. Roosevelt was believed to have Mr. Hague in mind when he said: |
“I am concerned about the attitude of a candidate or his sponsors with respect to the rights of American citizens tc assemble peaceably
and opinions on important social and economic jssues, The American people wiil not be deceived by any-| one who attempts to suppress individual liberty under the pretense of patriotism.” Wisconsin offers a DemocraticRepublican coalition against the new La Follette Progressive Party in tomorrow's primary, but some political observers believe Wisconsin election jaws may disrupt such a even though it may

O'Connor, chairman of the powerful House Rules Committee, led the fight against the Administra-tion-sponsored reorganization bill which was defeated. For his and his general “anti-New Deal attitude” he was placed on the list of “undesirables.”
in the Senate Jast session, the Reporter said that Mr. Roosevelt is “piding his time” to renew his ef. forts to “pack the Supreme Court.”
