It has generally been held, up to the time of the present flurry, that the more voters any party could get into its primary the better its hope of success. That theory still seems sound as one attempts to study the possibilities of Republican re vival. Springfield, Mass., Repub lican. 0. P. EFFORTS TO STIR UP DISCORD IN WPA RANKS G. Crude as were attempts of the Republican Old Guard management in 1936 to discredit Federal work relief, their methods this year challenge comparison. Boondoggling and other forms of ridicule are out, for the obvious reason that big bridges, libraries, city halls and power dams seem too substantial for that type of criticism, most of which at any rate was anonymous. This year the G. 0. P. party officials resort to the strategy of circularizing WPA workers with letters bearing the signatures of local party dignitaries, setting forth bald assertions that they are being grossly discriminated against by the Federal authorities, also that the object of work relief is anything but work relief. Those on the WPA rolls can remember a few years back when they were hungry, naked and cold. That was in the days of that great Republican president, Herbert Hoover, who declared that prosperity was around the corner, and the suffering men, women and children were not given any government aid. REAL GROUNDS FOR FEAR G. 0. P. LEADERS FIND DIFFICULTIES BUT NO IDEAS The very latest recapitulation of public expressions by recognized leaders, editors, senatorial and gubernatorial nominees of the Republican party shows no progress whatsoever toward promoting its solvency. That the first thing the Repub lican party needs is an issue is obvious, rather sorrowfully states Chester H. Rowell, editor of the consistently reactionary San Francisco Chronicle. And being now the opposition party, he continues, that issue must be in opposition to the party in power, an arraignment of the measures, trends and purposes of the New Deal. He admits that on the positive side, there should be a program of its own. But throughout his entire column he does not again even veer (Continued on Page 4) Nominate and Elect Mrs. Cornelia S.
