CHARLES 1. STEWART
Washington, May 30. ,81211. Gerald P.
Ny-2 of North Dakota has been creat
ing, in the closing days of the cur
rent session of Congress, the essen
tial issue on which politics will be
fought through at least the coming
cornpaign for seats in the two na
tional legislative chambers and the
presidential campaign of 1936.
Maybe that will not end the con
flict, either, but it will last that long,
■anyway.
It is a conflict over the merits of
the Rooseveltian New Deal.
Nye forced the Darrow investiga
tion of NRA.
No matter whas one’s opinion of the
Darrow report mal. Possibly it was
fanatical and ridiculous; possibly not.
The fact remains that it tore the whole
subject of the New Deal program wide
open.
Nye contention is that it is not
genuinely a progressive program; that
it is covertly reactionary instead.

• I know Senator Nye pi city well.
He’s a newspaper man. He sat next
to me in the press section at the Kan
sas City convention, which _pominat
ed Herbert Hoover for president in
1928.
As a progressive Republican, he v«as
not enthusiastic over the Californian’s
selection at the G. O. P. ticket’s
head. Yet he supported him subse
quently, for election. Thoqgh I never
never told him so, I blamed him for
this. Certainly he was not a Hoov
eritel ater on. Indeed, the Hoover
administration had no bitterer op
ponent on Capitol Hill.
Nevertheless, he .was not pro-Rooso
velt in 1932. Nor was tie pro-Hoover
that tice. He himself was a candi
date for re-election (and carried every
county in his state, except one), but
he ignored both national tickets.
Subsequently he told mew hat his
reasoning was.
“After the 1928 convention,” he
said, “I har a long talk with Herbert
Hoover. He convinced me that, if
elected, he would prove to be a real
liberal. In that belief, I did my best
for him. We know what fqjlowed.
“Right then I made up my mind:
“Never again will I support a can
didate on the strength of mere empty
assurances”’.

Answers To Questions
About The Primary
From the numerous inquiries which
come to me almost daily with respect
! to the right of Republican and Inde
! pendent electors to vote in the pri
! mary election, it appears that there
! is still considerable misunderstanding
j about this subject, so I will attempt
to answer some of the more import
, ant of these questions.
Can a voter, registered as an inde
i pendent, legally vote in a Democratic
or Republican primary? Answer, No.
j When one registers as an Independent
;he thereby states that he is not a
i member of, or affiliated with, either
of the two political parties holding
primaries in the State this year. So
long as he remains an Independent,
he is not a member of either party
and therefore, the law confers upon
him no right to participate in the se
lection of the nominee of either the
Democratic or Republican parties. In
the General Election an Independent
voter, of course, can vote any way he
so desires, but he cannot vote in a
primary election.
Can a Voter, registered as a Repub
lican, legally vote part or all of the
Democratic primary ticket in a pri
mary election? Answer, No. When
one is registered as a Republican and
declares that he is a Republican at
the time he goes to vote in
in the primary, he should be given
only a Republican ballot, if the Re
publicans have a ballot in that pri
mary, and if there is no Republican
ballot in that primary, then he should
not be allowed to vote in such pri
mary. He has no right to be given
the Democratic primary ballot. One
cannot legally vote in the primary
part of the Republican ticket and
part of the Deniocratic ticket. Like
wise, a democrat voter is not entitled
to vote for any of the Republican can
didates in the primary. In the primary

I The challenge was thrown out to

' as soon as they were known by Brodie
and Kirkland.
the voter is assisting in the seleqtion
of the nominee of the party with
which he is affiliated in good faith.
May a voter legally vote as a Demo
crat in the primary and as a Repub
lican in the following general election?
A person may change in his party af
filiation and ask that the change be
entered on the registration book. How
ever, a voter who votes with one party
in the primary and with another party
in the general election may have his
vote challenged on the ground that he
does not affiliate with the political
party in whose primary he proposes
to vote and is not in good faith a
member thereof, meaning that he does
not in good faith mean to support the
nominee of such party in the general
election, and it would be the duty of
the registrar and judges of election
of the precinct to hear and decide the
challenge.
Are markers allowed in primary
elections? Answer, No. A voter may
be accompanied into the election booth
and assisted by any member of his
family, or by any election official up
on his own request or by any other
person requested by him. The law no
longer require the approval of the
election officials, and a voter may
call upon any one he wishes to assist
him.
Is absentee voting still allowed in
primary elections? Answer, Yes. The
last Legislature did not abolish ab
sentee voting in primaries as so many
people think. It did as to local elec
tions in about six counties. Applica
tion for absentee ballots must be
made by written order of the appli
cant, whether made in person, or by
mail, or through another person. The
absentee ballots should not be deliver
ed for voting by the absentee method
when one person simply comes or
writes for them for the use of another.
The absent elector must sign his name
on the back of the ballot for indenti
fication. The oath required on ab
sentee certificates must be actually
administered to the voter, or the court
have held, it may be thrown out.

By LESLIE EICHEL
New York, May 30. —There seems no
question now that there will be a
labor bill this session of Congress yet.
That is the view in New York.
Strikes and riots mignt not have
occurred if large interests in New
York and Detroit and Pittsburgh and
elsewhere had not obstructed the bill
to try to prevent its passage-Rhus
holding it up.
The government neecrs immediate
and powerful agencies to bring em
ployers and employees together.
A revolution could (begin in a steel
strike if the government did not have
the power legally to force arbitration.
And a steel strike is scheduled.
The bill, if and when passed, tech
nically will be a victory for labor.
Morally, it will be a victory for the
people—its sponsors say
Was White Right?
Governor George White of Ohio
has had an administration of disas
ter. i
He was criticized for failing to close
Ohio banks earlier n 1933, then for
the rotten condtion exposed in the
Ohio state banking department.
In the Toledo strike, he now is be
lieved to have acted too abruptly, too
violently. (Washington is sure he
has—and wishes it could undo the
damage.)
When state troops use not tear gas
when troops shoot to kill, and do kill,
but gas that blasts out people’s eyes,
in labor riots, then a question arises
as to where law and order actually
