Sb In fairness to the Republi¬ can Party please reniember that the Republican Nationalist Re¬ vival Committee has no connec¬ tion with the official Republi¬ can PSrty •. . . Although they are trying to use pressure on the regular Republicans, the Re¬ vivalists, who were collabora¬ tors of the American Fir.st. Com¬ mittee, are not very happy with Mr, Dewey as a candidate . . , Behind the Revivalists 1.1 Ger¬ ald K, Smith, as are oth«i' anti- Semites , . . They will be very active in thi.s presidential cam¬ paign and will try to worlt in close connection with Father Coughlin's Rt. Sebastian Order, They want to ilefeat Roosevelt, hut are reluctant to suiiport Dewey, so that Ihe.v are in some¬ thing of a spot . . . They shoultl he fearles,sly exptiscil i^y the Re- puhlican National Committee — and that, wo unticrstantl, will be tlone . , .
