EARLY PLANS MADE
FOR PARTY BATTLE
James A. Farley Brings Map
ForeCasting Victory for
Roosevelt.
BY J. A. OAARY,
BY STAFF Correspondent THE Star.


CHICAGO, Ill, June 2o.-This me-
tropols on Lake Michigan, chosen By
both major parties as the training
the teams to represent them in the bis
political duel Of 1882 is rapidly being put
in readiness for the Democratic semi
finals.
This Democratic elimination meet
promises to bs by far the more exciting
Of the two, because it is the challenging
team and it's camp contains a sizable
list Of warriors, each eager to go forth
and meet the present holder of the
crown, Herbert Hoover, in the big fnal
event in November.
Delegates Arrive Early.
Since the Republicans had the present
champion on their roster, their meeting
a week ago naturally had to do largely
with laying down the rules and mapping
a plan Of battle. The hosts of demo-
cracy not only have to formulate the
scope and startegy of their attack, but,
what Is more important, they have to
choose their gladiators.
1t is no wonder, therefore, that week
before the delegates are to assemble in
Chicago's huge stadium to name the
two Democrats deemed best fitted tc
meet the Republican defenders, Hoover
and Curtis, at the ballot box next Fall
several Of the contestants already have
opened training camps at the scene OF
combat. None of the would-be stand
ard bearers Is here in person yet, but
the managers and loyal followers of sew
eral Of them are encamped in hotels
along the Lake front, armed with ltera-
ture and data to impress on the ar
irving delegates the records and quail
flcations of their respective idols.
Map Favors Roosevelt.
For instance. jovial James A. Farley,
manager of the preconvention campaign
for Gov. Roosevelt of New York, arrived
here with a huge map of the U. S. A..
showing in different colors the States
pledged to various candidates.
Now, whether Roosevelt gets the nom
ination or not. he stands today far
ahead of all his rivals in the number
of delegates pledged to him. or indi-
rather strikingly portrayed by jim
Farley's map. Red, the color used to
designate the Roosevelt States. surely
predominates the map, but here and
there are blotches Of other colors for
States allocated to Alfred E. Smith,
Speaker John N. Garner of Texas Gov
Albert c. Ritchie and various favorite
sons, including Senator j. Hamilton
Lewis of Illinois. Gov White of Ohio,
former Senator Reed Of Missouri, for
mer Gov. Byrd Of Virginia and Gov.
Murray Of Oklahoma. The Roosevelt
map will surely look impressive to dele
gates who reach Chicago knowing that
they will have to make some other
choice after a complimentary vote to a
favorite son.

RESUBMISSION STEP
DEMANDED OF G. O. P.
Wet Party Group Asks Immediate
Action to Danish Appearance
of "Straddle" Plank,
By the Associated Press.


PHILADELPHIA, June 2o.-If the
Republicans want to prove that the
administration prohibition plank was
not a straddle," the Republican Citi-
zens' Committee Against Prohibition
suggested yesterday, they can do it by
presenting to Congress now the amend
ment on which they would sanction a
referendum.
The suggestion was contained In q
telegram sent today to Secretary Of
State Henry L. Stimson. who last week
praised the plank as a fortnight decla-
ration. Raymond Pitcairn of this city,
who signed the telegram as vice chair
man Of the committee. said copies had
been sent to President Hoover the
other cabinet members and all the Re-
publicans in Congress.
Let the administration Immediately
publish the text Of the resubmission
amendment by which the President is
willing to have the people vote for re-
peal" the telegram stated.
IF this is done and If such resub-
mission Is presented and pressed for
action in Congress now. before it ad-
journs. 1t will become evident that the
administration intends to keep faith
with the people.

DECLINES TO SEEK
VICE PRESIDENCY
Moore Values Governorship
of New Jersey Above
National Post.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TRENTON, N. j., June 20.-A. Harry
Moore said today he would rather be
Governor Of New Jersey than Vice Presi-
dent of the United States.
Apparently disregarding entirely re-
ports that his friend, Mayor Frank
Hague Of Jersey City, may propose him
as a dark horse" candidate for the
presidential nomination at the Demo-
cratic National Convention in Chicago
next week, Gov. Moore said today he
is not interested in the vice presidential
boom.
He Is not going to Chicago next week,
although he was elected delegate at
large.
He will be right here in the State
House, he said doing all he can to assist
in the search for the kidnapers and
murderers of little Charles Augustus
Lindbergh, jr.
THE main thing Just now" he said,
is to find out who killed that child.
Hopes to Quit Politics.
Besides, when finish this term as
Governor Of New Jersey, want to get
out of political life and 60 back to my
law practice.
And I'd rather be Governor OF New
Jersey, anyway, than Vice President OF
the United States"
The death of the Lindbergh baby
affected Gov. Moore deeply. He has no
children of his own, but he Is ex-
tremely fond of them.
Through most of his political life he
has devoted much of his time and
thought to their welfare. He was re-
sponsible for the Jersey City playground
system and still umpires juvenile base
ball games there. He Is considered an
authority on Fairgrounds.
He organized the first marbles tour
nament and says he had more fun do
ing 1t than he got out Of almost any
thing else he has ever done
In tribute to his love of children and
his work for them there Is In Jersey
City the A. Harry Moore home for Grip
pied children.
From the start he has taken an
active part in the Lindbergh investiga-
ton. No one with any information or
any theory about the case is denied ad-
mittance to his Office. He hears them
all.
Doubts Amateur Theory.
II haven't much of any theory about
V
think it was done by any amateur
gang. I don't believe the ransom note
nor the notes received by DR.. J. F. Con-
don were written by an alien or unedu-
Gated person, despite their crude SPELL
ing and the foreign words. To me that
is all quite obviously faxed"
They used to call A. Harry Moore
Red" when he was a boy. His hair
isn't red any more. but he still has
freckles. He is a quiet, unaSsuming
sort Of man, approachable and friendly.
Ever since he quit school down in the
grades to go to work, he has been edu-
eating himself. He first learned short
hand-teching it to Y. M. c. A class
while he was studying 1t himself. Then
he went in for oratory.
While he was commissioner OF parks
in Jersey City he started to study law.
He finished the course with honors, and
for two years, between his first and
second terms as Governor, he practiced
law.
MY practice was mostly corporation
law" he said, but toward the end
got into criminal law. And that's what
1 want to try my hand at when get
through here"
