WINNER NAMES
SECOND MAN
ON TICKET
Garner, Richie or White May
Be Invited, Dame Rumor
Whispers in Chicago
BY WIN. K. HUTCHINSON


CHICAGO, July l (I.N.S.).
The choice Democratic vice
presidential plum dangled to-
day above the heads of a score
of party leaders.
Dame Rumor smiled archly
upon each of the standard
bearer potential running
mates. But the race actually
was wide open, with the victor
likely to be a party chieftain
who has stood On the side
lines while others held the
spotlight.
The reason for the uncertainty
lay in the fact that whoever wins
the presidential nomination will
name his own running mate.
This did not handicap Dame
Rumor. She rolled out choice
morSels of vice presidential gos-
sip on the theory that Gov. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, Of New York,
is to be the Standard-bearer.
Three in Bead Heat
Speaker John N. Garner, Of
Texas; Gov. Albert C. Ritchie, Of
Maryland, and Gov. George
White, Of Ohio, were running
almost a dead heat in the rumor
race. Since all three are still
presidential possibilities there was
a chance for each Of them to
head the ticket while taking
some one else for second place.
One rumor had substance. 1t
was that Roosevelt, If nominated,
would choose Garner, Ritchie or
White to join him on the ticket,
All three have large followingS In
the party councils and among
the rank and file of democracy
Each would make an ideal run
ming mate, though for different
reasons. Garner would give a
Roosevelt ticket national scope;
Ritchie would give it greater
strength in the great industrial
centers; White would help it in
the pivotal Buckeye State and
through the Middle West.
Many other names were men
toned in the rumorS. There were
a host of possibilities from Ohio

A demand that the United

Senator Robinson (RJ of In

Robinson opposed an amend

clared:

WET MOVE SEEN

DEMOCRATS
Cash to Veterans Due to Win
BY at Least 10 to ! in
Portland Convention
By WIN. K. HUTCHINSON

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 13.
The American Legion was lined
up today to go dripping wet,
demand immediate cash pay
ment of the bonus, and fight
out the issue of censuring Presi-
dent Hoover on the floor of its
fourteenth annual convention.
An International News Service
poll disclosed an overwhelming
majority of the State delegations
favored outright repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment. Blu t
upon such conditions as will pro-
tect dry States and prevent the
return of the saloon.
However worded, the legion ap'
parently will put its official in
dorsement in effect on the Demo
cratic prohibition plank.
For Bonus 10 to
The poll further revealed the
cash bonus demand would be ap-
proved by more than 10 to /.
The President appeared safe
from censure for using Federal
troops to oust the bonus marchers
from Washington. There was
just a bare possibility, though, the
convention might condemn the
use of troops for such purposes,
without direct mention of the
President.
The poll follows:

Despite its apparent opposition
to censuring Mr.. Hoover, the con-
vention appeared headed for one
of the batterest fights in it's his
tory over the bonus riot issue.
Factor In Naming Chief
1t served to wipe out all resist
ance to the demand for payment
of the bonus in cash. 1t likewise
had it's tentacleS into the fight
for adoption of an outright re-
peal plank, and its ramificationS
were felt in the naming of a new
national commander.
Many observers regarded the
convention as distinctly anti
Hoover. AS evidence, they pointed
to the sentiment for the cash
bonus when the President has led
the opposition. They indicated
the rush toward the Democratic
prohibition plank just when the
President is seeking reelection on
an entirely different plank.
And they regarded the opposi-
tion to censure of Mr.. Hoover as
inspired just as much by his foes
as by his friends.

G.N.SO - Approximately 100000
men and women were going to
the polls in Washington'S primary
today to nominate candidates for
State offices, one Senator, six
Representatives to Congress, State
legislators, and county commits
Sioners.
A distinct gain by the Demo.
cratic party was forecast here.
-Four years ago the Republicans
led in the primaries, seven votes
to one. Today it is predicted it
will be about fifty-fifty.
The wet and dry sentiment was
being watched closely.
One of the big fights centers
on the battle for the Republican
nomination with Wesley L. Jones,
Washington's senior Senator, and
one of the national dry figures,
fighting against Adam Beeler,
former State supreme justice, an
aVoWed wet.
The Democratic senatorial fight
centers between Stephen Chad
wick, of Seattle; Nome T. Bone,
of Tacoma, and Lloyd Black, of
Everett.
Black is the only candidate in
the field definitely supporting
prohibition. Jones has stated he
is personally dry, but will vote for

Ralph Horr, Republican, incum.

election from the Seattle district.
He is opposed by John F. Miller.
