found the "uninstructed" delegate.
supported generally by Republican!
who favor the nomination of somt
candidate other than Landon and alst
by former President Hoover. How.
ever, the Landon people claim a con.
siderable number Of the uninstructec
delegates are favorable to the Kansas
Governor and will vote for his nomi-
nation on the first ballot in the con-
vention.
A Landon- for President Club in Los
Angeles some days ago came forward
with a plea to supporters of Landon
| to vote for the "uninstructed" dele
cation. on the ground that Landon's
interests would best be served by such
action. This had the appearance of
looking for cushion on which to land
II the Landon slate met defeat in the
primary.
The vote in California showed the
uninstructed slate running well ahead
of the Landon slate. With 10,451 pre-
cincts out of 11,708 precincts reporting,
the uninstructed slate had 323,127
votes to 239, $50 for the London group.
Warren Releases Delegates.
After it had become apparent that
the uninstructed Republican slate had
won in California, Warren released
the delegates, thereby allowing them
to vote as they personally desire on
the first ballot in the convention.
The victory was interpreted as a
blow at the effort of Gov. Merriam
and Hearst to dominate the Repub-
lican party in California. The OPP
position to Hearst in the State rail-
lied strongly to the uninstructed dele
cation.
The same victory also gives former
President Hoover a more influential
place in the coming convention. He
has been opposed to the nomination
of Landon. A defeat of the unin-
structed delegates, backed by Mr..
Hoover, would have been a sad blow
to the former Presidents prestige.
In Mr.. Hoover's home precinct the
vote was overwhelmingly against the
Landon-pledged slate of delegates.
The vote in the Stanford University
precinct was 1913 for the uninstructed
delegation and for the Landon slate.
For Democratic preference 10,452
precincts of ll,70S gave: Roosevelt,
73s,O05; McCroarty, 56,676; Sinclair,
96,053.
