NAME! OF HOOVER
Will NOT APPEAR
ON March BALLOT
President Declines to Submit
His Candidacy to Voters
in N. D. Election

Announcement by the White House
that President Hoover would withhold
his name from the North Dakota
presidential primary as Republican
nominee and statement by Alfalfa
Bill" Murray, Oklahoma governor,
that he would stand behind his
brothers announcement that he would
be. candidate were the high lights
in the nations political picture Fri
day.
: The Hoover announcement came
after conferences of the so-called
Real Republicans who endorsed the
president at Minot and entered a
slate of candidates for convention.
delegates. electors and party posts.
This group was said by The Associat-
ed Press to have told the president
that little benefit could accrue from
his entrance in the primary In this
state.
Murray had previously withheld
announcement of his candidacy but
his brother. George T. Murray, Ber-
thold. had announced that Alfalfa
Bill would campaign here in March
The governors statement was consid-
cred as tantamount to formal dec
laration of candidacy.
Meanwhile. Governor Franklin d.
Roosevelt Of New York, still regarded
as the leading candidate for the Dem
ocratic nomination, authorized the
use Of his name In the Georgia pri-
mary. It was regarded as a declara-
ton on the part Of the Roosevelt ad-
herents to carry the battle to the OPP
ponents of their candidate.
In Washington. Louis T. McFadden.
Pennsylvania congressman. said he
would not object to having his name
entered in the North Dakota primary.
Petitions looking toward that end now
are being circulated In this state. Nc
Fadden Is regarded as one OF the Sc
verest Republican critics Of President
Hoover. He has been undecided
whether to run against Senator Davis
on q dry platform or seek to retain
his present seat. for which Mrs. Gif-
ford Pinchot, wife Of the governor. Is
q candidate.
The lines for the presidential elec-
ton in this state will be drawn finally
Saturday night. that being the last
day for filing candidates.
Failure Of Hoover to permit his
name to go before the voters will NOT
affect his chances Of carrying the
state, since the slate Of delegates en-
dorsed by the so-called "Reai Repub-
leans IS pledged to support him II

LONG CONTEST
NOT YET OVER

CHICAGO, June % 1.N.S0 .
Following a long and hectic ses-
sion of the credentials commit
tee, which lasted until the early
hours today, Senator Huey P.
Long and his cohorts won their
fight to retain their seats in the
national Democratic convention.
The committee voted, "a to II,
to seat the Long delegation, after
a rival delegation. led by former
Gov. Jarey v. Sanders. had made
a hard fight to win the seats.
Several members of the COM
mittee who voted to seat the San.
ders delegation indicated they
would make a minority report to
the convention today. -"
If this is done the fight, which
has been waged twice-once be-
fore the national committee and
again before the credentials COM
mittee-will be fought all over
again with the convention finally
deciding the issue.
The credentials committee,
by a vote of SO to IS, also seated
the regular Minnesota delegation
and also the regular delegation
from Porto Rico. It was be-
lieved that these contests would
end there, as it was not likely
minority reports would be made
to the convention.

There was broad smile on the
face of the Tammany Tiger today.
Having soundly trounced Gov.
ernor Franklin D. RooSevelt'S
forces in the New York delega-
ton twice within the last 48
hours, Tammany Chieftain John
F.. Curry and his allies were re-
ported ready to "go down the
line" for Newton D. Baker, of
Ohio. for president.
Curry is scheduled to reveal his
hand when the Empire State dele
cation caucuses tonight for the
third time.
On the highest authority it can
be stated that Tammany has no
intention of throwing all its
strength to any one particular
candidate on the first ballot but
rather to scatter it and wait for
what the tiger chiefs have called
"the break"
With Curry at the throttle, the
New York delegation, by a vote
of 81 to 261a went on record as
favoring Jouett Shouse for perma.
pent chairman as against Cover.
nor Roosevelt's choice, Senator
Thomas j. Walsh of Montana.
The resolution was jammed
through the caucus after Smith
had bitterly aSSailed Roosevelt.

from leaders in the New York
Governors camp.
Senator Huey P. Long, the fiery

"ThOse Internal tional bankers

Those bankers are not go

a protest against them and they
cannot dictate to us.
"If I thought Roosevelt could
get any money from them, I'd
