 Chicago, June 1s - Careful search throughout Chicago dis closed only one candidate for the republican presidential nomina- ton.
 His name was Joseph Irwin France. He is an ex-senator from the state of Maryland.
 Herbert Hoover didn't come. pr France intimated a belief that Mir Hoover was afraid to come. After all, hadn't he. France, entered one presidential primary after another mine states in all--and won the high vote in seven of them?
 Dr France wouldn't admit that he wasn't going to be nominated. He had tables to show-and big sign over the entrance to his large, handsome headquarters at the Con- gress hotel announced-that in states where primary laws provide for direct vote on candidates he had boiled 1,222,766 votes as against Hoover's 99,579. Conse- auently, Dr France claimed 231 delegates instructed by the voters and insisted that the voters had only given Hoover 19.
 It all seemed pretty impressive and there was no question that 1t was Dr France and not MT Hoover who had gone out and cleaned up such votes as were cast In the state presidential primaries.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-06-16

Tho Primaries
 The only trouble was that Dr France thought, or Npretended to think, that the people and not the politicians were the ones who nom. mated presidential candidates.
 The real function of Dr France was to serve as horrible example to prove that the presidential primaries have fallen into a state of decay, which in 1932 has given the coup de grace to the sweet theory that nominees are popular choices rather than those of politi- cal bosses.
 Poor old Joe France stands as a loud advocate of popular govern ment as traditionally identified with those primaries. Furthermore. one must admit that he acted the part of a candidate up to the last minute. He admitted that he him. self might not be the nominee, but did insist that Hoover had been licked and that France had been the real obstructing force,

 Interviewed, he recalled how he had gallantly toured the couri- try in the interests of his candi- dacy-how he had been stuck In North Dakota snowstorms be- tween speaking dates.
 Jump to Hoover
 One suggested that less than a couple of dozen delegates from the states where he had won the pref erential primaries actually intend- ed to vote for him. They insisted they were Hoover delegates. But pr France replied they had a moral obligation, that they were men of honor and that they would sur prise everyone by doing just that.
 "Take Oregon and North Da- kota, which have almost identical laws" said he. "They demand that a candidate for presidential nomination specifically file his name. He, may submit his plat form. The law requires that the delegates elected support the preferential choice. And, although provided for failure to obey the wish of the people. am sure that 1t Is true that there Is, no penalty delegates from Illinois, Pennsyl- vania, Nebraska and West Vir- ginia are all honorable men and women.
