WASHINGTON STATEDELECATES ARE INSTRUCTED TO SUPPORT
 POINDEXTER FOR PRESIDENT

BELLINGHAM, Wash, April 28 (by Associated Press) Senator Poindex- ter, addressing the Republican state convention here yesterday, said the issues before the American people to- day were the maintenance of the in dependence of the United States, the freedom of labor and industry, and the need for the Americanization of the government.
 He declared that an insidious and powerful propaganda, backed by un- limited resources, had instilled into the thoughts of many the subtle prin- ciple of nternationalism.
 By "the freedom of labor and indus try" Senator Poindexter said he meant the right of workingman to work and support his family and not be denied employment because he be- longs or does not belong to a union, and the right of employers to protec- tion under the law against violence and intimidation.
 DELEGATES FOR PoINDExTER
 The convention selected ten dis trict delegates and four delegates at large to the national convention, in- structed to Loyalty use all means in their power to secure the nomination and election of Senator Miles Poin- dexter for President The delegates are not bound to any candidates for second choice, but the supporters of General Leonard Wood assert that twelve of the fourteen will support him. One is avowedly for Hoover, and the preference of the other is un- known.
 Guy Kelley of Tacoma was chosen to succeed s. A. Perkins as national committeeman.
