MANY ROLL CALLS
DOT PARTY'S PAST.
Democrats Forced to Take
Ten Times More Than
Republicans.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. June 22.-T .ey1l be call
ing the roll out in the Stadium next
week, but how many times Is the Ques-
tion.
If the supporters Of Gov. Franklin
D. Roosevelt of New York have their
way there will be but one ballot, but
II they do not then there's no telling
how many there will be. II the con-
vention turns out to be IKE some OF
the others in the history OF the party
the call of the roll will run up into
numbers.
The past has seen some mighty strug-
giles, with the roll calls running long
and high. Take that meeting the
Democrats had in New York back In
1924, for instance. They had to have
l03 ballots before they picked John
w. Davis as their standard bearer.
That was the longest contest in the
history Of the party. but there have
been others in which the fight was long
and wearing.
Laid to Two Thirds Rule.
In the conventions held since 1896
the Democrats have had nearly 10
times as many roll calls as the Re-
publicans. That's chiefly because the
sons of jefferson have required two
thirds vote to nominate, while the
G o. P. does it with a ma jority. The
Republicans have called the roll for
presidential aspirants % times in the
last nine conventions. while the Demo-
Gratis have had to take 2O2 to do the
work
In 1860, when the Democrats met in
Charleston, S. c.. they fought through
81 roll calls In 10 days without results
except that a "rump" convention was
organized. The main show moved on
to Baltimore after l9-day recess and
then took ballots to nominate Stephen
A. Douglas to lead the party.
The Democrats came to the Windy

Says Candidates Should
Be Carefully Studied.
BY the Associated Press.


MILWAUKEE,, Wis, June 22.-John
M. Callahan. national Democratic COM
mitteeman from Wisconsin, yesterday
said his purpose in making public pho
tostatic copies Of letters purporting to
show the Ku Klux Klan was boosting
the Roosevelt candidacy, was merely
to call to the attention of convention
delegates that there are other fit candi-
dates in the field for the Democratic
nomination for the presidency"
Callahan strenuously denied that he
was attempting to inject religious is
sue into the ~pre-convention campaign
with intent to defeat the aspirations Of
Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt of New
York for the nomination.
II desired to offer delegates to the
Chicago convention information in my
hands. They should study candidates
closely before making their selection -

the case:
Our delegation is confident of being
seated by the ruling powers Of the con-
vention. There Is no doubt of either
our legal or moral rights. Our State
Convention in Shreveport, June IA, was
advertised legally and resulted in legal
parish meetings throughout the State,

solemnly warned by the National and
Credentials Committees and other
party leaders of many years standing
not to return ever to national con-
vention with another delegation arbi-

that the Louisiana Legislature in ses-
sion during the 1928 Houston Conven-

houses making it mandatory to select
delegates and officers to national coz

1T is more than significant that the

the national Committee before 1t was
