Cleveland Sunday morning and ad-
dress the convention.
The prevailing surmise is that the
TownSenditeS will. do nothing about
the presidency, that they will neither
have a national party ticket OF their
own nor indorse any other. Their
strategy is focused on Congress. Their
purpose Is to get the largest number
of Congressman pledged TO support
the Townsend program. For this pur-
pose the obvious tactics Of the Town
sendites is not to have a candidate
for the presidency, and not to have
candidates for Congress, except per-
haps in occasional local districts where
both the regular Democratic and Re
publican candidates decline to take
the Townsend pledge. Nevertheless,
some shrewd and experienced observ-
ers in Cleveland think the Townsend
ties will indorse Mr.. Lemke, or vote
for him in large numbers.
Task Difficult One.
So far as now known, the only new
third party in this campaign will be
the one headed by Hon. William
Lemke as its presidential candidate
and promoted by Father Coughlin. In
how many States will the Lemke-
Coughlin party function? The mere
formal, mechanical work Of getting a
third ticket on the official ballots In
the States is formidable. Both the
older parties, possibly with view to
discouraging competition, have used
their control of State legislatures to
write statutes which make the paths
Of third parties difficult.
In the largest State, New York,
there must be petition containing
at least 10000 signatures, and there
must be at least so signatures from
each county. These signatures are
subject to scrutiny. as to whether they
are of formally registered voters. The
petitions are subject to contest unless
they are prepared with minute fidel-
ity to the rather intricate election
law. Appeals to the courts are pos
sible from interests unfavorable to the
third party. The petitions must be
filed between September 29 and Octo-
Der 6.
In some other States, third party
must follow a similarly minute proc
ess in order to get its ticket on the
ballot. The Illinois law requires a
petition with a minimum Of $4,000
signers, Of which at least 200 must be
secured in each of the downstate
counties. and the balance in Chicago.
Other Difficulties Arise.
The difficulties Mr. Lemke's Union
party may run into are not the legal
ones alone. Politics is an art that
includes devious devices Indignant

Former Senator c. c. Dill admitted
under discrimination in his con-
kested divorce trial yesterday he had
never seen evidence to support his
charge his wife, the former Rosalie
Jones. was filthy housekeeper" and
buried dead dogs in her yard.
Details in his complaint, he said,
we're based on information supplied
BY servants and friends.
He explained he had not lived with
the former suffragette leader since
1893.
Says Lawn Dying.
In direct examination Dill dis
closed he ordered Mrs. Dill ito get
out" of their Spokane mansion last
Summer. He returned home, he said,
from Washington, D. c. to find the
lawn nearly dead from lack of water
and to learn Mrs Dill had written to
his parents about him.
"She informed my mother wanted
ko divorce her and marry some high
school girl" Dill testified. When I
talked to her about 1t, she admitted
It and said she had written because
ehe wanted my mother to influence
me.
You are the most cruel character
/ have ever met told her. This is
the end"
Nomination Started Trouble.
Caustic remarks against President
Roosevelt caused his first real domestic
split. Dill said.
It began, he said, with an out
burst at the Chicago Democratic con-
vention in 1892, when Mr.. Roosevelt
was nominated. After that, he testi-
fed, his wife never lost an opportunity
to criticize the President and his
policies.
1t also was her attitude, he said,
which caused him 10 decline to seek
reelection to the Senate in 1884.
Il couldn't face the people of this
State for reelection with them think
ing that Mrs. Dill was Progressive" :"
he declared. She had crazy ideas
about politics"
When they married. he added, he
got the impression she was an admirer
of Franklin D. Roosevelt. She didn't
like the Theodore Roosevelt family
their estate and the estate of Mrs.
Dill's family we're adjoining" he said.
Cites Turn Against Roosevelt.
"she thought Franklin D. Roose-
welt was all right until some time
before the convention, when she in
vited him to make speech over a
national radio hook-up she was ar
ranging for the Peace League.
Il had advised her-or suggested
she not embarrass him by asking him
to make the speech. but she did. He
declined with some polite excuse and
after that she had no Use for him. !"
When President Roosevelt visited
the Grand Coulee Dam in Central
Washington. Dill said he was afraid
to have Mrs. Dill at his side.
Il didn't want Mrs. Dill in the
presidential party because I didn't
know what she might say about tbs
