CHICAGO, June 9---First rumbles of
what their leaders said would be the
greatest farmer demonstration of the
age We're heard today in Nebraska.
A caravan of a dozen automobiles,
whose occupants said they were %jump-
ing the starting gun" for the army OF
farmers. recruited by Gov. Adam Nc
Mullen of Nebraska, yesterday passed
through Omaha en- route to Kansas City.
The vanguard was from Lead, S. Oak.
Throughout the corn belt section
other companies were putting the FIN
ishing touches on their plans to join
the march, which they planned as a
means Of emphasizing to the Repub-
lican national convention the needs OF
agriculture
Another report from Mark Woods
Lincoln, Nebr farmer, was that 1000
farmers had started from North Da-
kota in 300 automobiles. Gov. Sorlie
was reported to be leader of the North
Dakota delegation and Gov. Christen-
sen was said to be at the head of the
Minnesota group. Additional groups
from Illinois, Indiana. Iowa, Colorado
Oklahoma, Wisconsin and Montana we're
awaiting the word to start
DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler, president
of Columbia University, in Chicago en-
route to the convention, said the Repub-
licans would be defeated in November
unless they could hold the farmers
and the liberals within the party.
"The main problem at Kansas City"
he said. will be TO nominate candi-
date who can defeat Gov. Smith OF
New York"
From Des Moines came the sugges-
ton of third party drawn from the
ranks Of the farmers and the prohibi-
tionists. David Leigh Colvin. national
chairman of the Prohibition party. said
that unless the major political parties
adopted planks satisfactory to the pro-
hibition and farm relief forces. they
would merge into a political entity for
the Fall campaign.

DELEGATE MEETING
| IN NORTH CAROLINA.
Democrats, Split on Presi-
dental Choice, to Name
1000 for State Convention.
nv the Associated Press.

nv the Associated Press.
RALEIGH, n c., June 9.-North
Carolina Democrats, divided on their
opinions as to which presidential candi-
date has the best assurances of the
States vote next November, today will
meet in county convention to name
nearly 1000 delegates to the State con-
vention Tuesday.
Party leaders last night stood by
those supporting the candidacy Of Gov.
Smith Of New York and those favor
ing Representative Cordell Hull of Ten
nessee claiming majorities. Smith sup
porters continued to express belief that
sentiment for the New Yorker had not
changed. as Hull leaders contended. in
favor of the Tennesseean, who has the
support of North Carolina's recognized
Democratic leader, Senator Simmons.
The leaders are bitterly divided. Some
expressed fear that a party split at this
time might give the Republicans a
chance TO make a real showing in this
normally strong Democratic common
wealth.
Is expected to be fight between pro-
Smith and anti-Snith forces. The New
Workers. attitude toward the prohibition
act and his religion, for several months
have been attacked by the one and de-
Tended by the other.
Reports gathered after the recent
precinct meetings when delegates were
selected for the county sessions esti-
mated that 500 of the | ,957 delegates
were instructed for Hull: 400 for Smith
and at least $50 or 800 uninstructed.
The fight tomorrow is expected to CEN
Ter on the uninstructed delegates. Some
delegates. however, most likely will be
uninstructed.
Hull supporters seek TO have counties
instruct delegates, while Smith leaders
desire as many uninstructed delegates
as possible
Clay County held its convention on
June 2 and elected six delegates, men
who favor Smith. to the State conven-
tion.
