OKLAHOMA RESISTS
ALL ROOSEVELT BIDS
Hopes for First Score When Gov
Murray Offers Minority Plat
form Expression.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the ASsociated Press.
CHICAGO, June 29.-Adamant in
its stand against the Roosevelt band
wagon, the Oklahoma delegation today
was hopeful of registering its f1rst
score in the Democratic National Con-
vention through Gov. William H. Muir
ray, who was expected to voice a
minority platform expression.
Thus far the sooners have seen their
votes go for naught on the convention
floor and they have not joined in the
demonstration. The State standard re-
manned firmly in its place, with not a
single delegate disposed to question the
position of Gov. Murray. who says
1--WE cannot be stampeded."
In all the admitted tests OF Roose-
velts strength Tuesday, from the dele
CATION contests to selection Of the per-
manent chairman, the Oklahomans
were on the minority side in the bal
loting but no regrets or apologies were
heard among them. Murray remained
confident he had good hand to play
at some stage of the proceedings.
The Governor, true to form, is not
showing his hand until the crucial
moment"
Il know you folks have money, but
what do I need with money" he told
one bidder for Oklahoma's support.
And he has made it plain to all that
economic issues are paramount Among
the stream of visitors to the Murray
headquarters scores have asked the
homespun campaigner to give them his
ideas concerning the economic situa-
ton.
Told the delegation might give him
a complimentary vote for the presiden-
tial nomination, viii Rogers, one OF
Oklahoma's sons, ducked his head
and said: "Ah, pshaw-that would be
cheap comedy"

BY KATHARINE DAYTON,

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO. June 29.-When the DEM
ocratic party. at the instigation of the
Roosevelt faction. elected Senator Walsh
permanent chairman instead. Of Jouett
Shouse, it certainly bit the hand that
fed it. These last three years anyway
Senator Dill Of Washington. in a
presentation of the merits of Senator
Walsh versus Mr. Shouse, f1oundered in
chorus OF "boos" from floor and GAL
leries. He might have fioundered even
more If he had chanced to glance at
the list, posted in the stadium. of con-
tributions to the victory fund of the
Democratic party. AS we remember 1t
offhand. the quota for Senator Dill's
State of Washington is $5,000 To date
1t has contributed something like $73
But anyway It's rid of them rich city
fellers. The question is now. who's to
support the party in the way to which
Shouse and Raskob have accustomed It?
John W. Davis paid high tribute to
Mr. Shouse's ability and services He
also paid gracious tribute to those Of
Senator Walsh. Under Mr. Davis mel
low intelligence and charm it began to
look as If or Man Harmony might ooze
into the convention after al Even
Senator Dill came under the SPELL And
again mounting the rostrum. he began,
naively enough, And, before I forget 1t,

There was a great deal of talk about
the permanent chairmanShip being the
greatest honor, accolade, equivalent Of
knighthood. or what have you? Per-
sonally, we would rather have button.
And so, we imagine, before this is
over would Senator Walsh. The re-
action to his election was not exactly
that to a popular choice. Universally
respected, he was applauded. But his
speech of acceptance was not listened
to. There was a continuous buzz,
divided between jubilation in the RooSe-
velt camp and indignation in the op-
position. Wisely, he skipped several
pages Of his speech, and ended the long
session at 6 O'Clock. At 7, in the Black
stone Hotel lobby, tall, tlt, military
looking and forceful, Frank Hague Of
Jersey City, drew few rather strong
conclusions from the days doingS for
the benefit of an admiring circle. Just
behind him smallish, solemn, elderly
man with a gray walrus moustache and
panama hat, waited alone for an ele-
yator. It's a small world.

"RooSevelt's chances better after to-

tended to support the adverse view of
him. such as the vacillating course
about the two-thirds rule.
Nevertheless, the fact is that the
roll calls so far show the morale Of the
Roosevelt forces to be strong. The
votes on contests and between Shouse
and Walsh for permanent chairman
indicate that Roosevelt has just about
654 delegates available on the first
ballot for the presidential nomination.
To deny the prize to candidate hav-
ing 654 out Of LISA would D unprece-
denred and sensational.

CHICAGO. June 29-Delegates 10 the
Democratic National Convention from
the South were reminded last night
that the candidacy Of Gov Albert c.
Richie of Maryland offers them q
chance to nominate for President a
Southerner who understands their ideals
and aspirations.
In a letter to fellow delegates from
that section, Howard Bruce. Demo-
cratic national committeeman for Mary
land. recalled the part taken by Gov.
Ritchie's ancestors in the history of the
Southern States
THE South has an opportunity to
nominate a Southerner for the next
President Of the United States" Mr..
Bruce wrote Albert Cabell Ritchie,
four-term Governor of Maryland was
born in Richmond, Va, Of distinguished
Southern ancestry.
Record OF Ancestors.
"One of his ancestors, Joseph Cabell,
was close associate Of Thomas Jeffer-
son and helped the great Democratic
statesman to found the University of
Virginia. Cabell Hall of the University
Is memorial to his eminent services.
Gov. Ritchie's great-grandfather,
William H. Cabell, was Governor of Vir-
ginia and chief Judge of the Virginia
Court Of Appeals. A number of his
relatives fought in the Southern armies
during the Civil War. An uncle, then
a cadet at Virginia Military Institute,
was killed at New Market. Gov.
Ritchie's uncle, Boykin Wright, is
former attorney general of Georgia.
Gov. Ritchie's father was q judge in
Maryland; an uncle was a member of
ho q md 0F l.
The record of Gov. Ritchie's family
should appeal to all Southern delegates.
They have in him a representative
who understands their ideals and aspi-
rations, their needs and desires, and
who will bring to the South leadership
of the same high character that marked
the early days of the republic.
The Southern States should line up
! for Gov. Ritchie."
Ritchie Given Good Chance.
AS the time for balloting approaches
the supporters of Gov. Franklin D.
Roosevelt of New York are confident
/ they will be able to nominate him on
an early ballot. At the same time, there
Is strong feeling among many OBJ
servers that II. by any chance, the
Roosevelt bandwagon should slow up on
the home stretch, Gov Ritchie would
stand good chance Of becoming the
nominee.
Tennessee and Georgia, for example,
are both for Gov. Roosevelt, but II a
situation should develop in which
Roosevelt could not 60 over, it is be-

ton OF Republican rule and then put
through without ado the regulations

majority instead of two-thirds rule in
nominating the candidate.
Third Roosevelt Victory.
His seating was the third clear-cut
convention victory for Franklin D.
Roosevelt, two preceding roll calls the
same session having recognized con-
tested delegations from Louisiana and
Minnesota which favored the New
York Governor for President.
Shouse, backed by Alfred E Smith
and all the favorite son candidates in
a struggle Of great intensity, took his
defeat with grace.
There can be no doubt" he said,
"in anybody's mind that Senator Walsh
will preside with evident fairness and
satisfaction over the convention, /
want to thank my friends for their
generous support and the efforts they
made on my behalf"
Walsh. who held the selfsame post
of chairman in the Madison Square

the Democratic party to take control

prosperity to tie country.

Responsibility for the distress of pres
ent ysars he heaped high upon Eepuo-
lican shoulders, maintaining that the
high tariffs, fiscal policies and attitude
toward industry and agriculture OF the
past three administrations had brought
down disaster.
He charged the Republicans with
Constant Subseryiency to the wealthy
and the powerful" with callous In
difference to every appeal from agri-
culture from the prostration which he
termed the tragedy Of the last decade. !"
He blamed present conditions also upon
an unequal distribution Of the enormous
wealth accumulated in the country be-
tween 1920 and 1929.

Martin Van Buren, Defeated
by Polk in Similar Circum-

Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
CHICAGO June 20 (NA.NA).-
While the Roosevelt forces succeeded in
electing their candidate for permanent
chairman of the Democratic National
Convention, there still is an uneasy
feeling among them.
This was in evidence at their head
quarters last night. During a discus
sion OF the days events, attention was
called to the analogy existing between
conditions here in 1882 and those in
Baltimore in 1874. when Martin Van
Buren,, another "sure winner from the
Empire State" went down to defeat.
Van Buren,, like Roosevelt, was New
York's candidate Weeks, months, be-
fore the convention. Van Buren fol-
lowers were confident that ''the Little
Magician" would be the nominee in
what was believed to be a Democratic
year.
Enough delegates had been instruct
ed for him to assure full majority,
so Van Buren and his followers thought
1t was all over but the shouting.
Texas Annexation Foe.
Then came the Hammitt letter-the
fatal letter that Van Buren wrote in
reply to an inquiry regarding his posi-
ton as to the annexation of Texas.
Van Buren wss opposed to it. 1t was
probably the first time in his life that
he was unequivocally opposed to any
thing.
When the delegates reached Balti-
more there was hurried calling to-
gether Of Southern delegates. Many
OF them irrevocably were pledged to
Van Buren'S candidacy but they could

of the 'mocratic attic and busted off
Sixty-five of the delegates instructed
for Van Buren voted for 1t as the rule
of the convention, knowing that Van
Buren. under the circumstances could
not get two-thirds. They were for
him so long as they knew he couldn't
win the nomination. but no longer.
James X. Polk Named.
The convention then offered the
nomination to Silas Wright, highly
esteemed Senator from New York.
Wright, Van Buren's closest political
friend, refused to allow his name to be
used, ana another friend of Van
Buren'S, James K. Polk of Tennessee,
was named

party then was persuaded to resign
from the United States Senate and be-
come the Democratic candidate for
Governor of New York State Wright s
sacrifice carried the State for the DEM
ocratic ticket-his majority being about
twice that Of Polk's-and 1t made Polk
President.
The analogy between Van Buren, and
Gov. Roosevelt is that for weeks before
the convention assembled Van Buren,
was regarded as sure winner, and
would have won had a majority vote
prevailed. Van Buren, lost, and many
blamed his defeat on the bad manage
ment of his New York manager.
There are many Roosevelt delegates
now questioning the wisdom of the
management of the Roosevelt forces.
