BOILERS and
ANTS SWARM
Both Sides Seek to Influ-
ence Moody In Hoover
Dem Measure
Especial to The Herald)
Nv RAYMOND BROOKS

AUSTIN, Mar. 15.-The pushing
and pulling upon Gov. Dan Moody
to both approve and to veto the
Wirtz anti-bolter bill is bringing
prominent politicians from every
part of the state to the capitol.
Gov. Moody has until April 5 to
act on the measure.
The bill, a result Of the Hoover
victory in Texas last year, would
permit the democratic party eXecu-
tive committee to bar boilers from
next years primary. and from pla-
ces on the ballot as candidates in
the democratic primary.
1t applies equally on all political
parties.
The measure was warmly sup
ported by administration leaders,
among them Harry N. Graves of
Georgetown.
AL Smith democrats have been
represented here within the past
few days by John Boyle of San An
tonic, but Mr.. Boyle did not confer
with Moody during his visit.
Col. Thomas Fl. Ball of Houston,
one Of the dry leaders, also was
here.
Lynch Davidson. who served as
chairman of Gov. Moody'S "har-
mony democrat" organization last
year, has telegraphed Moody urg-
ing veto of the bill.
Hundreds Of letters and kilograms
are pouring in upon Gov. Moody,
many Of them insisting that he shall
approve the party regularity meas
ure, and others protesting against
his approving it or allowing it to
become a law.
The belief persists he will sign
the bill.
Sponsors of the Wirtz measure
said it would not be applied against
voters who bolted the presidential
electors, but would be used to keep
off next years ballot candidates for
office who had attempted to defeat
and succeeded in defeating, the
democratic party in the presidential
election.
