DEWEY OPPOSES LEHMAN
Tonight tiie political kleigs burned fiercely on New York, the nation’s most populous state .where the fourth term bid of Governor Herbert H. Lehman. Democrat. Is being vigorously contested by 36-year-old Thomas E. Dewey, Republican, whose racketbusting successes shot him into national prominence.
Lehman, once described by Roosevelt as "my good right arm," broke with the White House over the supreme court enlargement bill. Although he is cool toward some New Deal measures, Lehman was endorsed by President Roosevelt in his Friday night radio speech and his defeat would be a wallop at the chief executive. Newspaper polls indicate the result will be close. LEHMAN. WAGNER LEAD
At the head of the state Democratic ticket with Lehman, are Senator Robert F. Wagner, ardent New Deal Democrat, and Representative James Mead, a strong administration supporter, who is seeking the seat vacated by the death of Senator Royal S. Copeland, an anti-New Dealer. Wagner’s Republican foe is John Lord O'Brien, nationally known lawyer. Mead's Republican opponent is Edward Corst
The same newspaper polls that show Lehman and Dewey running neck-and-neck, give Wagner and Mead the edge over their GOP rivals.
Zero hour support for Wagner came from Former Assistant Secretary of Labor Edward F. McGrady, now vice-president in charge of labor relations of the Radio Corporation of America. In a radio speech prepared for delivery at 11:15 p.m. (EST> McGrady praised Wagner as a “liberal and at the Continued on Page Four
