Four Governors In
 Line For Presidency Were, At Convention
Three Are Democrats and One of Republican Faith
 The Old Officers Were All Reelected

their twenty-third annual confer fence.
 Before adjourning last night after three days of sessions, the governors re- elected all officials of their organ ization and thereby disapproved off, ficfally of the demond of Governor Albert c. Ritchie of Maryland that hereafter they break away from the old rule.
 Ritchie contended that as repre- scntatives of the people, the gover- TOTS should discuss those subjects Fin which the people are most vital ly interested.' He named prohibit tion and unemployment as examples. Other governors objected that the great difference in politics of the va- r!ous executives would not permit this and that such a change would lead to much controversy without any good result.
 | Ritchie was supported principally by Governor Floyd B. Olson of Min nesota who took an extreme view and urged that hereafter the pro- gram committee select nothing but controversial subjects"
 A majority of the governors agreed, however, that the old rule was better and expressed their ap. proyal of this years ''non-contro- versial' program by re-electing all members of the executive commit tee.
 These members were Governor Norman S. Case of Rhode Island. chairman; Governor George H. Dern, Utah; Governor John c. Pollard. Virginia; Governor Henry s. Caul- field.

| Washington, June 4.-(UP)-Gov- ernors have come into the fore ground in unusual numbers as ap- parent presidential aspirants, crowd- ing into a field in which United States senators usually are the more conspicuous group.
 Four governors made utterances at the governors conference in French Lick. Ind. this week which stamped them. in the minds of prac- tically all politicians as aspirants for a presidential nomination next year. Three potential contenders heard from were democrats-Governo Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York, Albert c. Ritchie of Maryland and George White of Ohio. The fourth was Governor Clifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania, an irregular republi- can who Is being urged by some pro- ST essives to oppose President Hoover for the republican nomination next year. All four broke through the restrictions of a non-controversial agenda to talk about depression, prohibition, power, wheat and other national issues of presidential size.
 In the early presidential specula- ton numerous senators usually sprout booms most of which meet ar early freeze. Senators are in a better position because of unrestrict- ed senate rules to make what are in fact stump. speeches on national is- sues. a9a. E
 The nature of the senate's work throws a number of senators into strategic roles with regard to na- tional policies. Furthermore, 9 gall lery of newspaper correspondents, is in constant attendance to give na- ticnal prominent to senatorial. ac- tivities. t, Sy ts :I
 There. Is the modern coiiception that, senator ranks higher in the scale than a governor. All governors want to he senators but no senators Is seen going back. to be governor of his state. When Senator Norris. re-, publican, Neb., once talked about nor, 1t was political sensation.
 With the growth of the nation and the welding of the units in the fed- eral system, the view of the senate as practically council of ambassa- dors of the sovereign states disap- peared so that the governor. once the more dominant figure, has been assigned now to the second table. Therefore unless a governor has a striking and exceptionally forceful personality or is governor of New York, which makes him ex-officio presidential possibility, he has hard going competing with senator standing on the gigantic national sounding board at Washington.
 Yet statistics show that after the early booms run their course sena- tors for one reason or another, fall behind. The chances favor the gov ernors. Of twenty-four men ncn- mated for the presidency by major parties sincethe Civil War. plus the yandidacy of the elder Robert M. lLaFollette of Wisconsin in 1924. ex- actly half were governors or former governors. Five were senators. in cluding LaFollette. who became 2 national figure first as governor Of Wisconsin. Blaine, Benjamin Har- r!son. and Harding were senators before they were nominated Tor president. Garfield was elected to the senate but before he took his seat, he was nominated was presi- dent and resigned.
