...Roosevelt's genuine surprise, his man won. After seeing his three other prime Purge efforts defeated in Georgia, South Carolina, Maryland, he had predicted that disobedient Chairman John J. O'Connor of the House Rules Committee would defeat obedient, one-legged James H. Fay by 500 votes. It was just the other way around: Mr. Fay won by 553 votes out of 16,000 cast...
...carded for November is another fight between Messrs. Fay & O'Connor, for the latter, to be on the safe side, entered the Republican primary also, on a straight anti-Roosevelt platform. To the disgust of young Republican leaders who are trying to "liberalize" their party, Roosevelt-hating Republicans rewarded Tammany's O'Connor for his long public service (eight House terms) by picking him as their party's nominee in the Gashouse district by majority of nearly 1,000 votes (out of 4,900 cast) over Allen Welsh Dulles, a young lawyer of considerable polish...

Purge-sponsored candidate, selected by the New Deal's chief metropolitan patronage dispenser, Boss Edward J. Flynn of The Bronx, was James Herbert Fay. Purgee O'Connor and Candidate Fay are to the naked eye as much alike as two Irish politicians, but Mr. Fay, unlike Mr. O'Connor, was born in the Gashouse, has lived there all his 39 years. Short, barrel-chested, he lost his left leg in the Argonne at 19, now gets about nimbly on an artificial one. President of Tammany's Anawanda Club, Jim Fay ran against John O'Connor...
