FORCONTROL
County Conventions of
2 Parties Being
Held Tuesday

DALLAS. Tex, May s.-tP1-A po-
liticaI battle with ultimate control
OF Texas forty delegates to the dem
ocratic national convention as the
prize of victory ragged in 25S county
conventions today as approximately
500 delegates TO the state conven-
tion at Beaumont, May p, were
chosen.
Ii marked an intermediate step in
the process Of choosing Texas rep

the selection of more than 5000
county delegates and will end at the
state convention.
Similar conventions looking to-
ward the naming of Texas 20 dele
gates to the national republican con-
vention at Kansas City also were
held while state republican party
leaders claimed certain instruction
of the delegation for Herbert Hoov-

Returns from the democratic pre-
cinct conventions indicated that the
faction Of the democratic party in
Texas led by Gov. Dan Moody would
have a majority IN today'S conven-
tions. but the issue was enough in
doubt to bring conflicting claims Of
control from other faction leaders.
Political observers agree, however,
that a great majority Of delegates
in the county conventions are un-
instructed as TO individual candi-
dates. and that an unquestionably
large group has instructions to sup
port a dry plank aud a dry nominee.
OF the delegates pledged to sup
port any one, Gov. Smith has the
largest number, on the face of in
complete returns from the precinct
conventions. although this number is
negligible in voting strength when
compared with the total in the
county conventions.
