NEW DEAL IS
GIVEN BOOST
BY ELECTION
OKLAHOMA CITY, July 29
(U.R) — With returns from
3,370, of the 3,413 Oklahoma
precincts tahluatcd, Josh Lee's
lead over Gov. E. W. Marland
for the U. S. Senate nomina-
tion was 298,066 to 187,873.
OKLAHOMA CITY July 29 (U.R)
New Deal stock boomed in Okla
homa today under inspiration of
the nomination of Rep. Josh Lee
to the Senate by the largest major-
ity ever accorded a candidate in
this state.
Lee assumed his new leadership
eagerly and aggressively. Victor-
ious over Gov. E. W. Marland in
the race for the Democratic Sen-
atorial nomination, he outlined his
plans for furtherance of national
administration policies and the in-
terest of his state.
That he would sweep through to
another smashing victory in the
November general election appear-
ed to be a foregone conclusion,
barring an unprecedented upset.
His Republican opponent will be
Herbert K. Hyde, former federal
district attorney. Only twice has
Oklahoma sent a Republicon to the
Senate, both times during national
GOP landslides.
Lee's majority over Marland in
the runoff primary yesterday soar
ed above the 100,000 mark, eclip-
sing the former record of 94,000
votes rolled up by William H. Mur-
ray in the 1930 gubernatorial run-
off.
The youthful minister-soldier-
lawyer-professor,, exhuberant over
his constituency's demonstration
of faith in him, already had hi*
victory program mapped out. He
told the United Press in an exclu-
sive interview that he would:
{'Support President Roosevelt as
senator as I have as congressman
Naturally I expect to be one of the
president's staunchest supporters,
but I will stand on ray own feet."
"Continue my fight for legisla*
tion which will keep the United
States out of war. The foreign sit-
uation demands that such legisla-
tion be made perfect, and that we
safeguard against war."
Marland nursed his defeat in
silence at the Governor's mansion.
He refused to talk to reporters.
His political future is precarious,
for as a repudiated governor he
faces a legislature honey-combed
with enemies.
Lee said that if he did not go to
Washington at once he would "go
where there's no telephone, no
mail, and take a long rest."
Lee's smashing triumph yester-
day was a defeat for Gomer Smith,
national vice president of the
Townsend organization, as well as
for Marland. Smith has third in
the senatorial race in the July pri-
mary, barely trailing Marland. He
attempted to swing his following
to the governor, with signal lack
of success.
Miss Hazel Ward has returned
to Austin where she is attending
summer school, after several days
visit with her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Jerry Ward.
Hugh L. Dillon
Electrocuted in
Wire Accident
MADISONVILLE, July 29, —
(UP)—Funeral arrangements are
planned today for Hugh L. Dillon
31, who was electrocuted yester-
day while working on a high vol-
tage power line.
Dillon was employed by the
Gulf States Utilities Company.
He was working with John J.ee
Barrett, who pulled the body off
the wire. An inhalator was brou-
ght from Huntsville but effort*
to : cvive Dillon failed.
Dillon was chief of the volun-
teer fire department and member
of the local Masonic lodge. His
wife, two children, parents, three
brothers and three sisters sur-
vive.
