BY RAYMOND CLAPPER

Washington, March "a - (UPD
- Organization work begun long
ago Is yielding it's spring harvest
Of delegates for Governor Franklin
D. Roosevelt, and has put him well
ahead in the sweep toward the
democratic national convention
three months hence.
The Gorgia primary added ~
delegates to Roosevelt's list, all
though the delegates actually will
not be selected until next month.
Roosevelt now has 81 delegates.
The only other democratic dele
gates instructed are from Governor
William II. Murray of Oklahoma.
He has his own states 20 and one
from North Dakota.
Roosevelt delegates have been
selected as follows
Minnesota, "a (subject to con-
test); New Hampshire. 8; North
Dakota, 9; Washington State, 16;
Alaska, 6.
Roosevelt workers are growing
more confident daily. Their can
didate has nosed out former Gov
ernor Alfred e. Smith In New
ray in North Dakota, and an unau-
N Garner in Georgia.
Homer Cummings. one of the
Roosevelt Board OF Strategy and
former chairman Of the democratic
national committee. predicts the
governors nomination on the first
ballot. He says Roosevelt Is first
choice in 35 states and second
choice in most of the others.
In politics practically nothing
takes the place of organization.
Popularity. endorsements, public.
ity. straw votes and all such win.
dow dressing count for little as
compared with hard, early, field
organization.
Roosevelt's men have been on
the job, moving incognito all over
the country six to eight months
ago, selecting local managers. maxi
ing alliances with democratic state
| bosses.

NEW YORK, Jan. z 0NS0
The curb market continued to
move toward higher price levels
today. with more confident buy
ing on the part of traders, COM
bined with further belated short
covering, enabling most Of the
active favoriteS to reach their
best levels of the week.
Utilities were fractionally i'm
proved on the average, with Con-
solidated Gas in the forefront
with a gain of a point at "a.
. Oils were fractionaily improved,
with Gulf up u point at 2Sss,
Standard of Kentucky up "a at
1894, and Standard Of Indiana
"a higher at 1919.
Great Atlantic and Pacific
stores chalked up a 2-point gain
at IA to lead the speciality list
up the line. 90

best showing made by the Ma
tional Power and Light issues, the
SIS moving up 11a points to 3d.
and the IS gaining 2A points at

corded at the opening, neverthe-
less, sufficient support was in
evidence to enable contracts to
show gains of from four to seven
points at the midday mark.
The initial bulge in values was
due to an overnight accumplation
of trade-buying orders, awaiting
opening execution. but as these
became filled, the market gave
way before a small amount of
selling by local and professional
traders.
A feature of the early trading
was the resumption of buying by
japanese interests. Buying from
this source had dWindled in the
forepart of the week because Of
the New Year holidays on Mon
day and Tuesday and the annual
celebration by the JapCnese GOV
ernment.
Near the noon hour, March
was up seven points at $6.46;
May up 6 at $6.62; July up at
$3.50, and October up at STOP.
