Democrats Trail
Five Parties
By the Associated Press

The Democrats were not the
first to pick a 1856 presidential
ticket.
Five minor parties, including
New Jerseys Poor Mans Party.
have announced tickets and
more are expected. Few of these
parties qualify for the ballot in
more than handful of States.
They poll comparatively neg
Iligible popular vote.
Minor party slate-making for
this year began as early as Sep
TENDER 6, 1855, when the Prohi-
bition Party named DR.. Enoch
A.. .Holtwick. Greenville, H., re-
tired history professor, for PreSi-
dent. and Brig. Gen. Herbert
C. Holdridge. retired, Sherman
Oaks, Calf, for Vice President.
The party polled 72.769 votes in
1852.
The Greenback Party, which
started campaigning for money
reform" in 1874, picked its candi-
dates by mail referendum. On
December /. 1855. it nominated
Fred C. Proehl, 75-year-old Ed
monds (Wash.) grocer. for Pres
ident, and Edward Kirby Meador,
Boston book publisher, for Vice
President.
Mr.. Proehl, also a candidate in
1852, believes in greenbacks-
lots of them-as substitutes for
interest bearing bonds used in
financing such things as gov
ernment power projects.
Henry Krajewski, Secaucus

Mr.. Truman as having said:

there is anybody alive that

that they are in danger right
now from this bunch Of racke-

In Kansas City tonight, Mr..
Truman said in reply: "Mr. Hall
has no apology coming, because
/ told the truth when I made
that statement"
Mr.. Hall said the statement
was insulting and declared:
Harry Truman in making this
statement reached a pretty low
ebb in politics. I'm not surprised
because he was reared in Mis-

ia six-hour caucus Of the
California Republican delega-
ton ended in compromise to-
night.
Gov. Goodwin j. Knight was
elected chairman of the delega-
ton. At the same time it was
agreed that the group would
bind itself at the convention to
the unit rule, meaning that all
10 votes would be cast accord
ing to the will of the majority
The unit rule would be delayed,

1t seemed clear that Gov.

chairman in return for accept

as between Mr.. Nixon and a
really open convention.
Senator Knowland appeared
confident the delegations vote
would go for Mr.. Nixon.
Still, for the moment, har-
