Black's Seat On Supreme Court Bench Seen As Blow To Existence Of New Deal
WASHINGTON.- (ANP) - Republican Party leaders, and the county chairmen or their assistants from every city in the country having more than 500,000 population, last Tuesday heard the rallying cry here of Republican National Chairman John D. M. Hamilton to make the 1938 congressional campaign the most intensive in the party's history.
National Chairman Hamilton told the party leaders of the necessity for organization from the high command clear down to the precinct worker, declared the Republican party would no longer be one with just a few at its head. Submitted reports indicated that in the nation's various centers of population the situation, from a Republican standing-was favorable in some cities while in others there remains much work to be done.
All present at the confab were agreed that appointment of Senator Hugo L. Black to the U. S. Supreme court was good "campaign thunder" for the Republican party and some openly declared the Black appointment would sound the death knell for the Democratic party in 1940, the next presidential year.
Among the G. O. P. county leaders present at the big meeting were: Leo E. Anderson, chairman Los Angeles County Committee and Fred W. Pape, chairman St. Louis City Central Committee, the latter stressing the need for extensive organization work, because: "At present things don't look any too bright, for the Democratic machine seems too well entrenched."
