CALIFORNIA TO
NAME DELEGATES
FOR CONVENTIONS
Voters OF State Going To
Polls Today To Express
Preference.

SACRAMENTO, May 3.-Califor-
mia voters went to the polls today in
state primary election which may
decide the political fates of two
presidential aspirants.
Republicans sought huge CON
fidence vote" for President Hoover
and the unopposed delegation
pledged TO him. The Democratic
ticket was divided into three war
ring camps led by Gov Franklin D.
Roosevelt, ex-Goy. Alfred E. Smith
and Speaker John N. Garner.
All three opponents in the race
for CALIFORNIA; a delegates to the
Democratic convention issued claims
of victory.
The nationwide Roosevelt boom
was credited with enough strength
to overcome a possible defeat in
California, but the recent Smith vic
tory in Massachusetts caused Roose-
velt leaders here much concern.
Justus Wardell, state Democratic
executive chairman, waged both
a campaign for Roosevelt and a
struggle for control of the party III
| IdlllUlIlld d5dllloO w Williiiii " WI
Adoo, head of Gamers campaign
and a dry.
McAdoo's residence in southern
California and other factors gave
the speakers supporters hope for
success in this section. Smith sup
port was concentrated in Los An .
geles and San Francisco city dis
| trictS. while Roosevelt claimed all
sections impartially.
1t was generally agreed that de-
feat for either Smith or Garner
would seriously upset their nation
al drives and possibly end them for
good.
The Republican delegation, head
ed by Gov. James Rolph, Jr., sought
large vote to demonstrate that
Democrats have made no large in
roads on Republican strength. The
Democrats, with 847,482 registered
voters, have the largest number in
history. G.. o. P. voters still out
number by 100000.
Interest in Oil Bill
p. The principal state measure on
the ballot, an oil control act, was
Californias bid for peaceful settle
ment of a situation that in other
oil states, notably Oklahoma, called
for militia intervention.
Designed by supporters to end
chaotic conditions within the in
dustry due to overproduction, the
so-called Sharkey bill establishes all
oil control board empowered to
limit production to demand.
Independent producers bitterly
opposed the measures as deter
rent to competition, and a spirited
campaign almost overshadowed the
three sided Democratic contest.
Sharkey bill opponents pointed out
that major oil companies were
among the strongest supporters.
They favored regulation" but not
control"
The principal disagreement ap-
peared to be apprehension on the
part of small producers that they
would suffer i'll greater proportion
than major producers from any
production cut ordered by state
board.
A second referendum was on the
question of whether oil well drilling
shall be permitted on the states
tidelandS.
There were few other issues at
stake.
In Los Angeles, Mayor John C.
Porter faced a recall vote but he
was expected to emerge victorious.
At San Francisco a $6,50O,00 bond
issue to complete the city's Hetch
Hetchy water project, was before
the voters.
