UNITES Appointment of Louisville Post- master Solidifies Party. BY HARRY BLOOM. Special Dispatch to The Star. LOUISVILLE. Ky., June 4.—A step looking to the improvement of Presi- dent Hoover's position in Kentucky was taken this week with the appointment of G. Carney Cross as Louisville post- master. The appointment marked the cementing of relations between two Re- publican factions that for a year have been at cross-purposes in the most populous district of the State. When Sheriff Petty fell out almost a year ago with Mayor Harrison of Louisville, the fifth district organization was pretty well disrupted and carried its dissen- sions into a primary fight. Both factions, however, supported the appointment of Cross. It gave verity to a harmony conference held recently at which J. Matt Chilton and Mrs. A. T. Hert were again agreed upon for membership In the National Commit- tee. DRAWINGS DISPLAYED Work of students in the drafting de- partment of Central High School is now on exhibition in the sun room of Mount Pleasant Branch of the Public Library, at Sixteenth and Lamont streets, it was announced by Dr. George P. Bowerman, librarian. The exhibit, which is under the aus- pices of Cog, the Central High School drafting society, under the instruction cf Seward Rathbun, will remain on dis- play through June 13. Texas Democratic Conven- tion Broke His Control to Favor Referendum. BY S. RAYMOND BROOKS. Special Dispatch to The Star. AUSTIN, Tex., June 4.—Texas Dem- ocrats are seriously agitated by reper- cussion of the State convention a week ago, when liberals and anti-prohibition forces broke control of Speaker John N. Gamer’s leaders in charge of the con- vention, and forced the convention to favor a referendum of States on the eighteenth amendment. Representative Sam Rayburn, na- tional advisor of the Gamer-for-Presi- dent organization, was chosen tempo- rary presiding officer of the convention and its keynoter, and friends of Gamer were in command, except in the fight on prohibition, which they wished to avoid. Campaign Is Handicapped. The Gamer campaign was handi- capped by the inherent weakness that the Garner stand has not been declared on resubmission or repeal, and could not be stated in Garner's home State by others than himself. So that Repre- sentative Rayburn could not take part in preventing the vote on referendum without an apparent commitment, al- though the agitation of this bitter po- litical question was sure to react un- favorably on Garner's united home- state support. Texas will send 180 delegates to Chi- cago to cast its 46 votes. They are pledged to Garner until he personally releases them: but the majority of the delegation will be ready to turn im- mediately to Gov. Roosevelt. Republicans Entrenched. Organized Republicans In Texas were finnlv entrenched, their votes pledged to President Hoover’s assured renomi- nation. and the party leadership of Rene B Creager, national committeeman, greatly strengthened over that of a year ago. Gov. Ross S. Sterling. Democrat. Is organizing an aggressive re-election campaign against the candidacy of Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson, a former one-term Governor, whose campaign is being led bv her husband, the impeached former Gov. James E. Ferguson Supreme Court has ruled that the States three Representatives at large must be nominated in separate num- bered races, each nominee required to receive a majority of all votes cast in the race. OKLAHOMA REPUBLICANS LEAN TO REFERENDUM Democratic Meeting to Push Roose- velt Candidacy Thwarted by Gov. Murray. BY WALTER M. HARRISON. Special Dispatch to The Star OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla June 4 There has been some agitation among Oklahoma Republicans for an expres- sion of sentiment with regard to the revision of the prohibition laws in the Chicago platform. Few are willing to be quoted on the subject, but it is safe to say that ap- proval of a referendum giving the Na- tion a chance to express itself on pro- hibition is as far as the Republicans of Oklahoma wish the convention to go. A Roosevelt State meeting was held in Oklahoma City this week to develop steam for the New York Governor. Under cover much work is going on among the delegates to the Democratic convention to get them to break away from Gov. “Alfalfa Bill” Murrav after a few complimentary votes. Whether this movement has made progress re- mains to be seen. Murray's control of the delegation is absolute and he has vowed repeatedly that the Oklahoma vote never will go to Roosevelt. m- PRIMARY IN FLORIDA TO BE HELD TUESDAY Principal Interest Centered on Race for Governor, With Nine Candidates in Field. BY GEORGE HOYT SMITH. Special Dispatch to The Star JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June 4 Practically on the eve of the primary election things are fairly sizzling po- litically in Florida with eight candi- dates seeking the Democratic nomi- nation for governor, and one Republi- can contestant appearing, this time in the preliminary event. Republicans are hoping for a big vote next week. There is talk heard of a Democratic convention, to be held possibly within a few weeks after the primaries to build a new platform. The Republican party held a conven- tion in DeLand a month or so ago. and indorsed Hoover and the eighteenth amendment. Here, as elsewhere, the wet and dry factions are found including members of both parties, and it is much of a problem how things will go, with the proposals and suggestions regarding re- peal, referendum, etc. Prom indications there will be a strong "wet-’ bloc in the Legislature to be chosen Tuesday. DEMOCRATIC VOTE LEADS G. 0. P. IN WEST VIRGINIA Party Shows Surprising Strength in Recent State-wide Primary Elections. BY ROBERT H. HORNER. Special Dispatch to The Star. CHARLESTON, W. Va„ June 4 West Virginia, in keeping with other strongly Republican sections of the country, is showing signs of a Demo- cratic trend, which is causing a state of quiescent alarm in G. O. P. circles. The latest indication of this trend wras in the size of the vote polled by Senator M. M. Neely, who was elected as a delegate-at-large to the Democratic National Convention, as compared with the vote polled by Senator H. D. Hatfield, who was elected delegate to the Republican convention. The offi- cial result of the primary, just compiled, shows that Neely’s vote was more than 20,000 greater than the Vote for Hatfield. A considerable portion of Mr. Neely’s vote was attributed to his personal strength, but the Democratic trend showed up just as emphatically in the official totals in the governorship con- tests. In these contests the Democrats cast a total of 243,604 votes and the Republicans polled a total of only 239,419. MILLS PRAISES PLAN FOR NEW CORPORATION By the Associated Press. Formation of the American Security Investment Corporation by New York financial interests, under the sponsor- ship of the Young Committee of New York financial and industrial leaders, was characterized by Secretary Mills yesterday as a “highly encouraging step.” He said the action was carrying out plans of New York bankers to do all they could to bring about improvement of the economic condition of the country. "It is a single constructive step in a very large picture,” the Secretary said. Four Members of Louisiana Democratic Committee Join in Move. By the Associated Press. SHREVEPORT, La., June 4.—Chal- lenging the admitted control of Senator Huey P. Long over the Louisiana dele- gation to the National Democratic Con- vention, four members of the State Central Committee, Joined by chairmen of 10 Parish Executive Committees, to- day Issued a call for a State Democratic convention to name rival delegates. The delegates to cast Louisiana's 20 votes In the national convention were named several weeks ago at a meeting of the State Central Committee, at which Senator Long was In charge. Re- cently Long asserted that he would probably deliver the votes to Franklin D. Roosevelt. At the time some of the designated delegates declined to serve, asserting the method of selection was “undemocratic.” The protestators were replaced by ap- pointment of Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley, Long's ally and chairman of the State Committee. The "Insurgent” convention was called for June 14 In Shreveport. The action apparently assured a contest in Chicago over the seating of Louisiana's delegates. A similar contest developed four years ago when Huey Long’s delegation was upheld in Houston after being selected by the State Central Committee. SOUTH DAKOTA GIVES DEMOCRATS SMALL VOTE Party Polls Only 42,280 Against 127,653 for Republicans in Recent Primary. BY ALFRED BURKHOLDER. Special Dispatch to The Star. SIOUX FALLS. S Dak.. June 4 Democrats ol South Dakota base their entire hope of carrying the State for their presidential ticket on the nom- ination of Gov. Roosevelt. With any other candidate heading their national ticket they believe the fight to wrest ! South Dakota from the Republicans is hopeless. South Dakota Democrats received a shock when returns of the recent State- wide primary were compiled. These showed a Republican vote of 127,653, compared with 42,280 Democratic votes. The huge lead of the Republicans was a surprise to Democratic State leaders, who realize something of the almost hopeless effort it will be to carry the State even if Roosevelt 1s nominated. TAYLOR FACES FIGHT Tennessee Committeeman in Hot Race to Retain Seat. BY THOMAS FAUNTLEROY. Special Dispatch to The Star. MEMPHIS. Tenn.. June 4 —Following the Indorsement last month of Roosevelt by the Democrats and Hoover by the Republicans. Tennessee politics has turned sharply to State races, with a sharp battle for Governor In the offing.

KENTUCKY G. 0. P. UNITES

Appointment of Louisville Post-

master Solidifies Party.

BY HARRY BLOOM.

Special Dispatch to The Star. LOUISVILLE. Ky., June 4.—A step

looking to the improvement of Presi- dent Hoover's position in Kentucky was

taken this week with the appointment of G. Carney Cross as Louisville post- master. The appointment marked the cementing of relations between two Re-

publican factions that for a year have been at cross-purposes in the most populous district of the State. When Sheriff Petty fell out almost a year ago with Mayor Harrison of Louisville, the fifth district organization was pretty well disrupted and carried its dissen- sions into a primary fight.

Both factions, however, supported the appointment of Cross. It gave verity to a harmony conference held recently at which J. Matt Chilton and Mrs. A. T. Hert were again agreed upon for membership In the National Commit- tee.

DRAWINGS DISPLAYED Work of students in the drafting de-

partment of Central High School is now on exhibition in the sun room of Mount Pleasant Branch of the Public Library, at Sixteenth and Lamont streets, it was announced by Dr. George P. Bowerman, librarian.

The exhibit, which is under the aus-

pices of Cog, the Central High School drafting society, under the instruction cf Seward Rathbun, will remain on dis- play through June 13.

Texas Democratic Conven-

tion Broke His Control to Favor Referendum.

BY S. RAYMOND BROOKS. Special Dispatch to The Star.

AUSTIN, Tex., June 4.—Texas Dem- ocrats are seriously agitated by reper- cussion of the State convention a week ago, when liberals and anti-prohibition forces broke control of Speaker John N. Gamer’s leaders in charge of the con- vention, and forced the convention to favor a referendum of States on the eighteenth amendment.

Representative Sam Rayburn, na- tional advisor of the Gamer-for-Presi- dent organization, was chosen tempo- rary presiding officer of the convention and its keynoter, and friends of Gamer were in command, except in the fight on

prohibition, which they wished to avoid.

Campaign Is Handicapped. The Gamer campaign was handi-

capped by the inherent weakness that the Garner stand has not been declared on resubmission or repeal, and could not be stated in Garner's home State by others than himself. So that Repre- sentative Rayburn could not take part in preventing the vote on referendum without an apparent commitment, al- though the agitation of this bitter po- litical question was sure to react un-

favorably on Garner's united home- state support.

Texas will send 180 delegates to Chi- cago to cast its 46 votes. They are

pledged to Garner until he personally releases them: but the majority of the delegation will be ready to turn im- mediately to Gov. Roosevelt.

Republicans Entrenched.

Organized Republicans In Texas were

finnlv entrenched, their votes pledged to President Hoover’s assured renomi- nation. and the party leadership of Rene B Creager, national committeeman, greatly strengthened over that of a year ago.

Gov. Ross S. Sterling. Democrat. Is organizing an aggressive re-election campaign against the candidacy of Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson, a former one-term Governor, whose campaign is being led bv her husband, the impeached former Gov. James E. Ferguson

Supreme Court has ruled that the States three Representatives at large must be nominated in separate num-

bered races, each nominee required to receive a majority of all votes cast in the race.

OKLAHOMA REPUBLICANS LEAN TO REFERENDUM

Democratic Meeting to Push Roose-

velt Candidacy Thwarted

by Gov. Murray.

BY WALTER M. HARRISON. Special Dispatch to The Star

OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla June 4 —

There has been some agitation among Oklahoma Republicans for an expres- sion of sentiment with regard to the revision of the prohibition laws in the Chicago platform.

Few are willing to be quoted on the subject, but it is safe to say that ap- proval of a referendum giving the Na- tion a chance to express itself on pro- hibition is as far as the Republicans of Oklahoma wish the convention to go.

A Roosevelt State meeting was held in Oklahoma City this week to develop steam for the New York Governor. Under cover much work is going on among the delegates to the Democratic convention to get them to break away from Gov. “Alfalfa Bill” Murrav after a few complimentary votes. Whether this movement has made progress re- mains to be seen. Murray's control of the delegation is absolute and he has vowed repeatedly that the Oklahoma vote never will go to Roosevelt.

PRIMARY IN FLORIDA TO BE HELD TUESDAY

Principal Interest Centered on

Race for Governor, With Nine

Candidates in Field.

BY GEORGE HOYT SMITH. Special Dispatch to The Star

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June 4 —

Practically on the eve of the primary election things are fairly sizzling po- litically in Florida with eight candi- dates seeking the Democratic nomi- nation for governor, and one Republi- can contestant appearing, this time in the preliminary event. Republicans are hoping for a big vote next week.

There is talk heard of a Democratic convention, to be held possibly within a few weeks after the primaries to build a new platform.

The Republican party held a conven- tion in DeLand a month or so ago. and indorsed Hoover and the eighteenth amendment.

Here, as elsewhere, the wet and dry factions are found including members of both parties, and it is much of a problem how things will go, with the proposals and suggestions regarding re- peal, referendum, etc. Prom indications there will be a strong "wet-’ bloc in the Legislature to be chosen Tuesday.

DEMOCRATIC VOTE LEADS G. 0. P. IN WEST VIRGINIA

Party Shows Surprising Strength in Recent State-wide Primary

Elections. BY ROBERT H. HORNER.

Special Dispatch to The Star. CHARLESTON, W. Va„ June 4 —

West Virginia, in keeping with other strongly Republican sections of the country, is showing signs of a Demo- cratic trend, which is causing a state of quiescent alarm in G. O. P. circles.

The latest indication of this trend wras in the size of the vote polled by Senator M. M. Neely, who was elected as a delegate-at-large to the Democratic National Convention, as compared with the vote polled by Senator H. D. Hatfield, who was elected delegate to the Republican convention. The offi- cial result of the primary, just compiled, shows that Neely’s vote was more than 20,000 greater than the Vote for Hatfield.

A considerable portion of Mr. Neely’s vote was attributed to his personal strength, but the Democratic trend showed up just as emphatically in the official totals in the governorship con- tests. In these contests the Democrats cast a total of 243,604 votes and the Republicans polled a total of only 239,419.

MILLS PRAISES PLAN FOR NEW CORPORATION

By the Associated Press. Formation of the American Security

Investment Corporation by New York financial interests, under the sponsor- ship of the Young Committee of New York financial and industrial leaders, was characterized by Secretary Mills yesterday as a “highly encouraging step.”

He said the action was carrying out plans of New York bankers to do all they could to bring about improvement of the economic condition of the country.

"It is a single constructive step in a very large picture,” the Secretary said.

Four Members of Louisiana Democratic Committee

Join in Move.

By the Associated Press. SHREVEPORT, La., June 4.—Chal-

lenging the admitted control of Senator Huey P. Long over the Louisiana dele- gation to the National Democratic Con- vention, four members of the State Central Committee, Joined by chairmen of 10 Parish Executive Committees, to- day Issued a call for a State Democratic convention to name rival delegates.

The delegates to cast Louisiana's 20 votes In the national convention were named several weeks ago at a meeting of the State Central Committee, at which Senator Long was In charge. Re- cently Long asserted that he would probably deliver the votes to Franklin D. Roosevelt.

At the time some of the designated delegates declined to serve, asserting the method of selection was “undemocratic.” The protestators were replaced by ap- pointment of Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley, Long's ally and chairman of the State Committee.

The "Insurgent” convention was called for June 14 In Shreveport. The action apparently assured a contest in Chicago over the seating of Louisiana's delegates. A similar contest developed four years ago when Huey Long’s delegation was upheld in Houston after being selected by the State Central Committee.

SOUTH DAKOTA GIVES DEMOCRATS SMALL VOTE

Party Polls Only 42,280 Against 127,653 for Republicans in

Recent Primary. BY ALFRED BURKHOLDER.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

SIOUX FALLS. S Dak.. June 4 —

Democrats ol South Dakota base their entire hope of carrying the State for their presidential ticket on the nom- ination of Gov. Roosevelt. With any other candidate heading their national ticket they believe the fight to wrest ! South Dakota from the Republicans is hopeless.

South Dakota Democrats received a shock when returns of the recent State- wide primary were compiled. These showed a Republican vote of 127,653, compared with 42,280 Democratic votes. The huge lead of the Republicans was a surprise to Democratic State leaders, who realize something of the almost hopeless effort it will be to carry the State even if Roosevelt 1s nominated.
