Intensified by the possibility that President Roosevek will seek a third term, Is the real caae of the seemingly suicidal Democratic strife over this year's state and congressional nominations.

L. branch of organized labor, favored the current tax revisions in interest of business revival, but the 'President persists in his opposition to them. The only reason he let the tax bill become law without his signature, rather than vetoing it. it is plain, was the acute possibility that the required two-third vote of both Houses would be mustered to override him. South Offers Key The Democratic primary contest is most clearly drawn so far in the South and it is there that the results are likely to prove most significant as affecting the party's future for the reason that southern Democratic nominations are equivalent to election.

Previous to the overwhelming victory of Senator Claude Pepper of Florida, over his anti-New Deal opponent. Rep. Mark Wilcox, the conservatives were exceedingly confident that they could at least hold their present lines. Lately, however, they are not so sure, as evidenced by the placatory attitude they have assumed toward the' President's wace-and-hour bill. The next Democratic primary will occur in North Carolina, June 4, but it is not likely to be decisive for the reason that Senator Robert R.

Deal Is Reported The answer to this seeming anomaly appears to be that Senator Bailey lias his eyes primarily on the 1940 presidential nominating convention, possibly with the idea that he himself may be chosen as the conservative hope. The report is that Bailey has made a deal with Reynolds by which the latter agreed, in return for support of the Bailey organization, to play ball with it in 1940.

Only if Rep. Frank Hancock, Reynolds' mildly anti-New Deal opponent, should win, would the North Carolina situation create a stir. The situation produced by Democratic division in northern and western states is strikingly illustrated by recent happenings in Iowa, Oregon, and Pennsylvania. Hopkins Stirs Row In Iowa last week. Hopkins started a terrific row by declaring his support of Rep.

Otha D. Wearin. who is opposing Senator Guy M. Gillette for renomination. On the ground that it was an obvious attempt to line up relief workers for Wearin, Hopkins' statement was repudiated by Gov.

Nels Krashel and Senator Clyde L. Herring, the generally accepted leaders of the Iowa democracy, but no suggestion of repudiation has come from the White House. To the contrary, Edward C. Eicher, another Iowa member of the House of Representatives, visited President Roosevelt last Thursday and emerged from his office to issue a statement tokiOTsing WTearin, defending Hopkins and assailing Gillette as an opponent of New Deal measures.
