CATION to the National Democratic Con-
vention, four members of the State
Central Committee, joined by chairmen
OF 10 Parish Executive Committees, to-
day issued call for a State Democratic
convention to name rival delegates.
Ine delegates to cast Louisiana's 20
votes in the national convention were
named several weeks ago at a meeting
OF the State Central Committee, at
which Senator Long was In charge Re-
Gently Long asserted that he would
probably deliver the votes to Franklin
D. Roosevelt.
At the time some Of the designated
delegates declined to serve, asserting the
method of selection was "undemocratic :"
The protestators were replaced by ap-
pointment of Mayor T. Semmes
Walmsley. Longs ally and chairman Of
the State Committee.
The 'insurgent" convention was called
for June IA in Shreveport. The action
apparently assured a contest in Chicago
over the seating Of Louisiana's delegates.
A similar contest developed four years
ago when Huey Longs delegation was
upheld in Houston after being selected
by the State Central Committee.

Democrats of South Dakota base their
entire hope of carrying the State for
their presidential ticket on the NOM

other candidate heading their national
ticket they believe the fight to wrest
South Dakota from the Republicans is
hopeless.
South Dakota Democrats received a

showed a Republican vote OF 1868,
compared with 42,280 Democratic votes
The huge lead of the Republicans was
a surprise to Democratic State leaders,

CHARLESTON, w. Va, June A.
West Virginia, in keeping with other
strongly Republican sections of the
country. is showing signs Of a Demo-
cratic trend, which Is causing a state
Of quiescent alarm in G. o. P. circles.
The latest indication of this trend
was in the size Of the vote polled by
Senator M. M. Nicely, who was elected
as delegate-at-large to the Democratic
National Convention, as compared with
the vote polled by Senator H. D.
Hatfield, who was elected delegate to
the Republican convention. The ON
cial result Of the primary, just compiled,
shows that Neely's vote was more than
20, 900 greater than the vote for Hatfield.
A considerable portion Of Mr.. Neely's
vote was attributed to his personal
strength, but the Democratic trend
showed up just as emphatically in the
ofncial totals in the governorship con-
tests. In these contests the Democrats
cast a total Of 243,604 votes and the
Republicans polled total Of only
239,41e.
