PtcsidMtial Candidate Will At* tempt To Smoke Out Rw- tionarics of Both Parties. ^ - -• * Weshington, June 20.—(Representn- trre William Lemke, presidential candidate of the ne^ly<<formed'Union party, promised tonight to make a campaign rivalling in intensity the bitter battle .waged by Senator Robert (Fighting Bob) LaFollette for the presidency in _1924. In an exclusive interview > with* the United Press, Lemke^ said he would apeak in every rtate “aV last once,” and would **force Republican and Democratic nominees to come out in the open on the money issue.” Lei^e made it plain that the com parison of his cmning campaign with that of la Follette twelve years •go ended with the /act that-both would be vigorous. He confidently predicted his own election. La Fol* lette carried only one state—Wiscon- ain. The declaration of intentions made by the North Dakota legisl^^j farm er and non-partisaii leaguer came as *“diTect:moverVi4s"made to pull into the Union party the share-the-wealth cohorts of the late Senator Huey P. Long, of Louisiana. Meanwhile, Senator Lynn J. Fra zier, Republican, North Dakota, ob tained senate consent to print in the record the platform of the. Union party. Frazier hae said he would take the stump in Lemke’s behalf if the third party movement devel- oped sufficient “steam” to give it a chance in the coming election. The real major objectives of the third party, already backed by the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, were re- veal^ by Lemke /onight, as. fol lows : ^ 1. To throw out of the house next November “100 reactionaries. of both major parties.” 2. To force liberalization of rigid — house rules which have stifled ac tion on liberal legislation. 3. To force currency expansion and new old age pension legislation guaranteeing a minimum of at least |60 a month for all over sixty. Lemke, "a slight man with a mark ed pallor and Constant smile, said he would run for redection to the — house despite* 1iis_pr^sidential candi dacy. , • i ‘ “I am satisfied that the new party will be for at least 100 new facjes in "the house next session,” said.^Lemke. “The campaign to defeat reaction aries will be a non-partisan fight. By that I mean I will aim to defeat reactionaries in both major parties.” House Democratic leaders said they were not worried about Lemke’s drive.. However it was conceded that one of the major accomplishments of a thiM party might be to change drastically the party alignments in the next house, due to the numerous close races of 1934. Lemke warned after defeat of his farm inflation bill by ninety-three votes on May 13 that he would cam paign in every district of members^ who voted against it. .

Msyki^bl^d, Washington, June 21. — The presi dential campaign has started off with f. bang. The new management of^the Republican party is letting no grass grow under its feet. Political observ ers of both parties now agree pri vately,» whatever they n»y say in public, that it ^11 be a real fight, with the chances much more nearly even.-4hat seemed likely only a few weeks ago. "" — ‘ It is, much too early to say that the Repi»blicans are confident Of vic tory,' but it is certainly true that they have ntore ground for hojie. Likewise, it would be absurd to represent the Democrats as being despondent, but talk in D^ocratic circles is much less tinged with confidence. Their party is facing an aggressive oppo sition. As aggressive as has appeared upon the political horizon in a, long time.. — , ,.^11-1:1:::;::^:^^:=-^^- New G. 6. P. Control The most, interesting angle of the whole situation is the complete con trol of the Republican party organi zation by the men who followed The odore Roosevelt in his Bull Moose campaign of 1912 and t^e heirs to his political philosophy. Gov. Landon and Col. Knox, both of the Republi can candidates, left the Republican party in 1912 to follow Teddy’l stan. dard. John Hamilton, the new Republican national chairman, was too young /to vote in 1912, but his whole political career has been colored by the Bull Moose progressivistn which has long dominated the party spirit in the mid dle West. That is decidedly a fight ing spirit. Men who attended the Bull Moose convention of 1912 were re minded again of the fervor, the al most religious enthusiasm of Teddy’s followers, by the demonstrations at Cleveland. Republican hopes are based large ly upon the fact that‘party control has been wrested from tiie hands of elderly leaders of ultra-co||lervative views and taken over by a group o^ young men who, the Republicans be lieve, can put on' a campaign which will attract the young voters' upon whose ballots victory next November will depend. Democratic Strength Opposing this new Republican par ty is what is probably the most com pletely organized political party that ever functioned on a national scale. Under the ddrection of Postmaster General Fariley as chairman of the ■Democratic national committee, it is certain that every officeholder and beneficiary of the New Deal will be called upon to help re-elect President Roosevelt. It is a formidable army of which Mr. Farley is the‘generalissi mo, and it has as its candidate a gen tleman whose eloquence and oratori cal ability are not to be decried. Mr. Roosevelt's persuasive voice and con vincing manner are familiar to every American who has ever listened to the radio, and that is a lot of Ameri cans. Gov. Landon, on the other hUnd, is stiH an unknown quantity as a cam paigner. He seems to possess little of the ability of Mr. Roosevelt to trans mit personal charm by radio. He is more effective, however, as a public speaker than was Mr. Hoover,-either in 1928 or 1932. The campaign, in the long run, will be determined more by the personalities of the two leading candidates than by any other single factor, and it still remains to be seen how Mr. Landon will measure up in the public mind as against Mr. Roose velt. , See Landon Courage Gov. Lai^n has bean presented to the public' as an ordinary American, with all the homely virtues of a lU, JH miiiinmteitttr Those who know him best and have studio hik^ri^d'lna‘ca?eef 1;^ that this is no fictitious build-up; that he is just that kind of a person, but with mwA “mb^^ than bhe ordi nary citizen’s political acumen. Landon followers point out that he possesses a high degree of courage iSdnHteiF*^”T!iiy^^p^^ hft-ti^' gram to the national convention,^in which he took exception to certain planks of the Repidilican platform and declared his position on gold, civ- il serviice reform and the power of the states to establish minimmn wages for women and children, mudi more definitely and vigorously than the committee which shaped the platform :1SI^ dared to venture. Busy News Fronta " The propaganda mills here in Wash ington arj^ busy grinding out cam paign literature for both parties. The new propaganda chief of the Demo crats is the Rev. Stanley High, for merly editor of the Christian Herald, who is not only making p special ap-, peal to church people but is putting QUt literature of a much more digni fled and constructive character than any of th% previous Democratic prop- agazkia-.mateTial. The RepublksiA ni^nall committM is expect^ .to continue its propagan da macUineTy-already in operation here and to amplify and intensify its operatiou.

He is particularly pleas ed because the platform adopted em bodies the doctrines that he had preached during the past 18 months. Whether he will take any active part in the campaign now seems doubtful, but if called upon, he will serve. Mr. Hoover would have preferred Col. Knox to Gov. Landon to head the ticket, but applauded Col.
