By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer

CHICAGO, Oct.” 21.—Illinois is expected to replace a tall, bulky, round-faced Democrat with a tall, lean Democrat in the U. S. Senate at the Nov. 8 election. Scott W. Lucas, the thin“man, a former member of the House, is given the verdict by the experts over his Republican opponent, the dynamic young Richard J. (Dick) Lyons, for the seat occupied six years by Senator Dieterich, Democrat, who was ditched by his party and refused a chance to run again. Republicans disagree, though not too violently, with this verdict. As in other states visited on this tour, they are found in Illinois to be full of pep and ginger, working hard, trying to reorganize a party that has lived on thin rations, even down to local offices, during the Roosevelt regime. Headquarters here bubble with optimism and activity. They will make some gains in the House, increasing their present quota of six to nine to 10. They are claiming greater gains. Illinois now has 21 Democrats in the House. They can have no complaints about the energy displayed by their Senatorial candidate, the 42-year-old Mr. Lyons, who has been through the rough and tumble of politics as a member of the State Legislature for five terms.

All Kinds of Issues

A clean-cut fellow, with a collegiate sort of appearance on the stump, he has been tearing up and down Illinois roads in his white sound truck. A forceful, aggressive campaigner, he carries one of the widest assortment of issues you ever saw, ranging from condemnation of the Kelly-Nash Democratic machine in Chicago, which, it is true, smells none too sweet, to criticism of President Roosevelt's foreign policy which, he claims, involves commitments with England ‘and France and will drag us into war. This harks back close enough to the “Keep King George out of Chicago” issue made popular by former Mayor Bill Thompson in his heyday. Young Mr. Lyons shoots in as many directions as the aroused porcupine. His chances looked better a few weeks ago, when Democrats were split in factional strife, still smarting over the bitter primary hattle in which the Kelly-Nash city rhachine was aligned on one side in the Senatorial race and Governor Horner and his powerful downstate organization on the other. Mayor Ed Kelly and the elderly Pat Nash, Democratic national committeeman and Cook County Democratic chairman, supported former Rep. Michael L. Igoe, while the Governor turned up the winner in Rep. Lucas.

Everybody’s Happy Now

But now the two factions have patched it up and are harmonizing —at least until the election. Machines count in this state and these two are rather effective, as has been demonstrated. Rep. Lucas, himself a downstater, will need help in Illinois’ farm belt, particularly with the low price of corn now a festering sore being picked at constantly by Republicans. Governor Horner’s machine counts there. The Kelly-Nash machine wiil do its part in Chicago. In Chicago Republicans are making it virtually the whole issue, with campaign posters blazoning “Smash the Kelly-Nash Machine.” The Kelly-Nash group seems to take it all rather complacently. Big paunches in headquarters rest comfortably. President Roosevelt still is the best issue for Democrats. His name punctuates campaign speeches.

“Yes But” New Dealer

Rep. Lucas goes about praising Mr. Roosevelt's leadership and humanitarian impulses, and defending some of his measures, though not all. He is not a strictly New Dealer type, and his nomination did not sit too well with the ardent New Deal political contingent in Washington. Rep. Lucas spoke publicly against the Roosevelt court reform bill; voted to send the Wage-Hour Bill back to committee where, it was hoped, it would be buried; then voted for it on final passage when it was resurrected. He was here in Chicago when the vote was taken on the Government Reorganization Bill. His opponent, Dick Lyons, went into the race this year with his eyes wide open. It looked as if the nomination were going begging. Mr. Lyons heard about that and went to the state committee, pleaded his case, and got the assignment.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 (U. P.) — President Roosevelt and Mayo? Frank Hague of Jersey City, leader of New Jersey’s Democratic organization, are joined today in a campaign to send. William H. J. Ely to the U. S. Senate.

Mr. Roosevelt's indorsement of Mr. Ely, conveyed to New Jersey by War Secretary Woodring, dissipated early summer possibilities of campaign year friction between Mayor Hague’s potent organization and the New Deal. Mr. Ely, former State WPA Administrator, is Mayor Hague’s selection to succeed Senator Milton (D. N. J.), personal and political ally of the Mayor, who did not desire to run. The possibility of a challenge to the Hague organization arose on June 24 when Mr. Roosevelt discussed freedom of speech and assembly in a fire side chat. He spoke after Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate for various offices from President down, charged - that his freedom of speech and the freedom of assembly of New Jersey citizens had been curbed when he was prevented from making a speech in Jersey City on April 30.

Roosevelt Seems Placated

The June 24 chat was interpreted in some instances as an intimation that Mr. Roosevelt might re-

pudiate Mayor Hague’s candidates if charges of suppressing civil Jor. ties were sustained. The matte appears now to have been adjusted sufficiently to Mr. Roosevelt's satisfaction to permit him to indorse Mr. Ely. Mayor Hague is a powerful figure in the Democratic party. He not only controls the New Jersey machine but is national committee vice chairman. He was one of the Smith-for-President brigade who tried in 1932 to prevent Mr. Roosevelt’s nomination. But he was first of the big time anti-Roosevelt leaders to get on the band wagon before the 1934 congressional campaign meeting here at which he announced his loyalty to the New Deal. ‘Knows He Will Be Loyal’

Mr. Roosevelt referred the Thomas case, so far as Federal statutes were concerned, to the Justice Department. The New Jersey State Supreme Court decided last Tuesday that neither Federal nor State constitutional rights were violated when a permit to speak was denied Mr. Thomas. Secretary Woodring spoke in Jersey City at a Democratic rally under Mayor Hague's auspices the night before that decision was handed down. He told more than 50,000 persons that the President was for Mr. Ely “because he knows that he will be a loyal and devoted supporter.” Federal inquiry into what Mr. Thomas alleges was his kidnaping by Hague’s police and deportation from Jersey City are continuing. A Federal grand jury today will hear evidence in Newark, N. J., on Mr. Thomas’ charges of suppression of civil rights. Two special assistants were dispatched there by Attorney General Cummings to handle presentation of the case. The Justice

;TDepartment announcement that the

case would be presented to a grand jury did not name Mayor Hague and, so far as the Federal Government is concerned, he evidently has not been drawn officially into the case.

Farley Warns Against

Overconfidence

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 21 (U. P.). —Pennsylvania . Democrats today prepared to act on Postmaster General Farley’s warning that “we cannot nurse our private feuds” because Republicans ‘have chosen Pennsylvania as their special battleground” in the Nov. 8 election. Mr. Farley, Democratic National Committee chairman, addressed 3000 persons at a $100-a-plate dinner last night. He told the gathering—which included Governor Earle, candidate for the U. S. Senate; Senator Guffey; Charles Alvin Jcnes, Gubernatorial nominee, and other candidates and party chieftains --that “we are not here tonight to exchange congratulations and compliments.”

‘We Cannot Sit Back’ Although Democrats have a right to be proud of recent victories, Mr. Farley said, ‘let me remind you in all seriousness that the fight you won four years ago was only one battle in the war against privi-

tional affairs by those who conceive of Government as something

“We cannot sit back and take it for granted that the uniformly increased registration of Deinocratic voters means that next month's election _spells another affirmation of faith in Democratic policies,” he said. “We cannot nurse our private feuds with the calm. assumption that Democratic sentiment is so strong that we can afford to withhold support and strenuous effort from this candidate or that candidate.”

Dewey Gives G. 0. P. o Example for Campaign

Times Special WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.—National as well as local attention is rated By the campaign start which Thomas S. Dewey is making in New York as the Republican candidate for Governor, because he is fol-

lowing a pattern to which the Recpublican national campaign might well be cut. : Mr. Dewey, addressing his first big rally at Rochester, demonstraied that a Republican speech can be hard-hitting and biting without preposterous insults to average intelligence. First, he dedicated his campaign to the break-up of “political monopoly.” For several years Democrats have enjoyed a virtual political monopoly, thanks to the ineptitude of the Republicans. Governor Lehman is tired of his job,

he was determined to quit, but was blackjacked into running again by the Democratic politicians who feared that with any other candidate they would lose. The choice, Mr. Dewey said, is between a willing and an unwilling candidate, “a vigorous Administration against a group of jaded office holders; a fresh Administration against one cultured with the by-products of Tammany, Brooklyn and Albany political headquarters.” Second, Mr. Dewey said the corrupt political machines must go. Expressing his admiration for Governor Lehman as an honorable and conscientious gentleman of the highest personal integrity and devotion to public service, Mr. Dewey pulled back the rug to show what was underneath. He named racketeering Democratic politicians, describing one as an ally of thieves, pickpockets and dope peddlers. Another he mentioned as the man who used his political pull to turn loose the murderer of a labor leader. IN

mentioned the Brooklyn machine,|

with justice for sale, where hundreds of police records have been torn from the books, one of the Yous scandals New York ever has ad. Piling instance upon instance, Mr. Dewey built the picture of a bored but honest Governor, standing un-

wittingly as a front for such scan-

dalous political conditions. . This is also an issue to be raised by Republicans in many other states—if they can forget their obsession over Roosevelt. In New Jersey, in Pensylvania, in Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and countless other places the underpinnings of the New Deal are sordid political machines, grown fat with

Roosevelt Administration to improve conditions in the country,

Bosses Plague New Deal

Republicans can show that the Democratic Party has, through many of its local bosses, betrayed everything - President Roosevelt stands for. Third, on the broad national

issues, which Mr. Dewey is touching only in passing, he says that the national social and economic legislation enacted in the last few years is but a reflection of the so-

cial and economic changes in the! world and that it is the duty of the | w, party in power to respond to the |

will of the people. But, he continues, |

NEW YARN MAY PUSH ~ JAPS FROM MARKET

| NEW YORK, ‘Oct. 21 (U.P).— Hosiery makers predicted today that a new yarn to be produced within a year by E. I. du Pont de Nemours

& Co., and Celanese Corp. of America, would eliminate the American

market for Japanese silk for hosiery.

Of the $100,000,000 worth of raw silk imported annually, 90 per cent comes from Japan and $75,000,000 of it goes into hosiery. The Celanese Corp. announced yesterday it was building a $10,000,000 plant at Pearisburg, Va., to produce the new yarn. A few days ago the du Pont company announced plans for a $7,000,000 plant at Seaford, Del. to make the new yarn known as “Yarn

hills rally at a buffaio barbecue today, Alf M. Landon, 1936 Republican Presidential nominee, charged that President Roosevelt is trying to di vert attention of Americans from their economic plight by focusing attention on the foreign situation.

He warned that because of the foreign situation now is a poor time to elect “yes men” to office. Mr. Landon said the nation was fortunate in having had “courageous and independent” leaders in the Senate who refused to follow President Woodrow Wilson's desires that’ we enter the League of Nations. Had these men not stood for the courage of their convictions, the United States probably would have been embroiled in the recent Czechoslovakian crisis, he said. “I believe the American people are happy that we were not bound by such a treaty,” said Mr. Landon. “They want able and courageous men to represent them at Washington and in the various state capitols —men who will strive tirelessly to serve their own people, not do the

A writ on file in Criminal Court today asked for a rehearing of the case of Cleo Arnold Chelf, 25, sentenced 10-t0-25 years in prison recently on a robbery charge. The writ charged that “police

‘lofficers promised the prisoner that

if he would plead guilty he would get a sentence of only 1 to 10 years.” The action, filed by T. Ernest Maholm, defense attorney, set out that the “prisoner would not have pleaded guilty under the charge carrying the heavier penalty.” Deputy prosecutors said they knew of no promise made in return for a guilty plea.
