DETROIT. Mich. March INA
tional politics in Michigan in the last
week has been featured by a public
appeal by Gov. Fred w. Green,
titular head of the Republican party,
urging Republicans in district caucuses
TO instruct district delegates TO the
national convention to vote for Herbert
Hoover consistently until Hoover re-
leases them, Hoover is the only Re-
publican candidate whose name will
appear on the presidential primary
ballot, April . The result OF the pri-
mary is binding only on the first ballot
at the convention.
The governor intimated in his state
ment that he would do everything pos
sible 10 control the State convention in
Detroit April 25 and see that delegates
at large be instructed TO remain con-
sistently for Hoover. but made it plain
that the instructions to district dele
gates must be voted at the first dis
trict caucuses.
Boom Hits Snag.
In Democratic circles various Demo-
Gratis have been content to issue public
statements as to whether or not the
delegates to the Houston convention
should be instructed to vote consistently
for Al Smith until the New York Gov
ernor releases them. Two weeks ago
there was no question on this subject.
II appeared 10 be smooth sailing for
Smith and his name was the only
name of a Democratic candidate to be
filed for the April primary.
Then Senator Woodbridge n. Ferris.
Democrat. announced he would not
be candidate for reelection and could
not support Smith for the nomination
because Of his views concerning pro-
i1ibition. but would support Senator
Walsh OF Montana. Ferris has been
very strong with put State dry Demo
Gratis and Republicans for years.
