HOOVER wins
IN CONTESTS
Eleven Southern Dele
gates Seated BY
c. Q. p. Group

KANSAS CITY, June 5.-tP-The
Hoover fcrces continued TO hold a
whip hand in the republican national
committee today. seating as the four
convention delegates at large from
| ouisiana, a slate sponsored BY
Emile Kuntz. national committeeman,
and an avowed supporter Of the COM
rierce secretary.
The republican convention, after a
long season Of political speculation.
will get down to business a week
from today. Before then develop
nents may put a new light on the
situation which as il stands today has
many uncertainties. What Is in store
not even the wisest seers cared TO
venture.
Success yesterday in placing eleven
southern delegates, whose credentials
Led been challenged, definitely in the
Hoover bag bolstered the optimism Of
the secretary's political
l~ieutenants, especially James w.
Good, his manager, who all along has
insisted that his candidate would 70
over on one Of the early ballots.
On the other hand. both the Lowden
ard Watson campaign directors, al
icdIe Oh the AlAAHE nue. were map
ping out a plan Of attack with which
they hoped to stop Hoover. In this
they counted on other presidential
s%spIrants in the field against the
cabinet officer.
Lowden himself is coming to town
the last Of the week TO give person
al attention to his campaign. Mean
tine his political fortunes here are
in the keeping of Clarence L. Buck,
manager OF his presidential fight, who
upon his arrival here yesterday en-
phasized that the former Illinois gov
einor in no sense was an "anti-any-
thing" candidate.
Apparently taking cognizance Of
speculation that Lowden and Cool
idge are too far apart on the highly
explosive farm relief question for his
nan to get the nomination from a
convention which will be called upon
&c endorse the presidents administra-
tion, Buck took pains to point out
that Lowden is not opposed to Cool
idge policies. He predicted that Low
den would poll around 500 votes on
the first ballot.
