KANSAS CITY, June 11.-What pur-
ported to be a reproduction of the
Michigan Democratic preference pri-
mary ballot Of 1920, bearing the name
OF Herbert Hoover, was put into cir
culation by those working against the
cabinet members Republican presi-
dental candidacy.
The circulation was under the super
vision of Jim Harris. former national
committeeman for Oklahoma, who is
one of the anti-Hoover coalition lieu
tenants.
The reproduction shows the Ameri-
can flag with picture of Woodrow
Wilson superimposed and in the block
for the voter to mark his cross are the
names of Herbert Hoover. William
Gibbs McAdoo, A. Mitchell Palmer and
Edward !. Edwards.
One OF the arguments being used by
anti-Hoover people among convention
delegates is that the Commerce Secre-
tary was not definitely considered a Re-
publican until 1920.
