Tinley, Of- fered by lowa, Asks For Party Solidarity Chicago Stadium, July 2—(P—A Democratic ticket reading “Roosevelt and Gartner” was written on the bal- lot of 1932 Saturday by the Demo- cratic national convention. Having named Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York its presiden- tial nominee in @ fourth-ballot stam- pede late Friday night, the delegates at their last session Saturday nom- inated by acclamation the speaker of the house, John Nance Garner of Texas, as his running mate. Then. with noisy acclamation, they marked time to await Gov. Roosevelt himself, dashing here by plane to| give the delegates face to face, hi Pledge of earnest leadership. Garner—veteran of 30 years of po: litical warfare, in congress, but still | “Cactus Jack” of Texas to his many friends—had been chosen for vice president by the leaders hours befot the convention itself ratified the se lection with a great shout. Turn Helved Roosevelt Texas and California had voted for him for the presidency, and it was their turn to Roosevelt last night which broke the back of the opposi- tion, heaping up at the feet of the New Yorker nine-tenths of the whole strength of the convention. The only real threat of opposition to Garner came from the defeated partisans of Alfred E. Smith, but it never materialized. Towa presented Gen. Matt. but no general support for him de- veloped. A session of speech-making follow- ed and while it was going on, Towa reconsidered and sent up word it would withdraw Tinley, making it unanimous. Then Gen. Tinley himself was re- eognized and, amid much handelap- ping and some cheering, launched in- to a speech calling on the party to stand together and save the country in_the present crisis. Finally, he moved that the nomin- ation of Garner be made unanimous. Oregon seconded the motion, and when Connally put the motion there was a ringing shout of approval. There was not a single “no” through the big hall. The ticket was viewed by many party leaders as ideal. Garner, a veteran of 30 years in the house and speaker since the Democrats seized control Dec. 7, 1931, is a spectacular and vigorous campaigner. In Tough and ready debate, his friends regard him as able to meet all comers. That the Roosevelt leaders favored Garner was definitely indicated early Seturday by a statement of James A. Farley, campaign manager, that the ‘Texan, by releasing the 90-votes, had contributed notably to the success of Roosevelt, . ‘A Great American’ “Garner is a Great American! a great Democrat,” Farley said, al- though still declining to discuss the vice presidential possibility, Geographically, Garner's selection appealed to leaders as perfect. Roose- velt previously expressed the wish for & running mate west of the Mississip- pi to balance his eastern location Garner is popular generally but par- ticularly so in the middle and far western agricultural states. Garner is a rugged, straight forward type. By dogged determination he rose from @ poor and sickly North Texas youth to a vigorous, healthy and wealthy statesman, banker and farmer. In addition, he is the out- standing expert in congress on taxa- tion and national fiscal affairs. He 63 years old and his home is at Uvalde. Friends of the Texan explained that, though Garner considers the vice presidency less powerful than the job of handling the speaker's gavel, he decided to withdraw from the presidential race to keep the par- |; ty united and to prevent a recurrenc> of the 1924 deadlock. When informed to of the situation Friday after the third egation, by long distance telephone t release the Texas and California del- their pledges to vote was for repeal of the 18th amend- ment, against which he voted when it was enacted. 4 FRANKLIN STATE DELEGATION TO FOLLOW LEADER ON SECOND PLACE North _.Dakotans. Will Support Roosevelt's Choice of Running Mate Chicago, July 2—()—North Da- kota delegates Friday decided to swing in line for the vice presidential candidate they expected Governor Roosevelt would. indicate as the most | acceptable to him. There were members of the del- egation with personal favoritism for both Garner and Ritchie, but Dr. Leavitt of Carson, chairman, said Personal choices would be submerged by at least nine of the delegates in order to provide a united front. The 10th member, George T. Mur- ray of Berthold, conferred with his brother, Governor Murray of Okla- homa. The latter considered seeking the vice presidency but his cause re- mained in doubt until the final aft- ernoon session was well under way. Brother George said he would sup- port his companion of run-away days back in Toadsuck, Texas, as long as it was wanted. There was enthusiasm among the North Dakota delegates when they came out of their rooms after sleep- ing late to catch up for the loss caused by the all-night session when Roosevelt’s opposition refused to yield. They had been unanimous for the winner, with Murray joining on both the second and fourth ballots, the last the one which gave the nom- ination to the New York governor, “North Dakota was the first state to favor Roosevelt and it is proud its choice went over,” Dr. Leavitt said. “Now we can go home and work for his election in a year which seems to Promise Democratic success in our state as it has never been kota will support us—they back Hoover.” ‘The delegation expects to entrain for the home trip Saturday night: pol short stopover in the Twin Murray, on the first ballot sup- Ported his br doned the fight. The time never came for this promise to be fulfilled, During the massed demonstration for Roosevelt, which followed assur- ance of his support by California Texas, North Dakota's banner was \brought to the front of the hall by Dr. R. H. Leavitt of Carson, chair- man. The entire Pyare Dakota del- tion followed it, Murray joining in the celebration ot victory. TWO DROWN IN MIS!

D. in Roosevelt’s Column Washington, July 2.—(#) —The triumphant march of Franklin D. Roosevelt to the Democratic presi- dential nomination found a spon- taneous echo in the capital among stalwarts of his party and they called back enthusiastic predictions gf victory. Senator Frazier (Rep, N. D.), Predicted Roosevelt would carry his state. “I think he was without doubt the most liberal candidate for the nomination,” Frazier said. “I don’t intend to support the Re- Publican platfrom but I do not want to make any further decla- ration at this time. It looks like North Dakota will go strong for Roosevelt.” BONUS MARCHERS CALL: ON CAPITOL Sit at Congressional Door Step and Let Off Steam; Dem- onstration Orderly ee Washington, July 2—(?)—The bo- nus marchers went calling on con- gress Saturday but found nobody at home, so they sat on the congress- fonal door step and let off steam. ‘Thousands of war veterans gather- ed early on the broad steps of the capitol in response to an order by their commander in chief, Walter W. Waters. They cheered and booed alternately at things which pleased or displeased them on the plaza in front. The veterans enjoyed an undis- turbed three-hours of cheering, boo- and speech-making. Most of them returned then to their encamp- ments. Their own military police assisted capitol police in keeping order. As a Precaution the capitol was closed to all visitors.

JOHN CURTIS FOUND Hoaxer Convicted of Aiding Kid- napers of Colonel Lind- bergh's Son Flemington, N. J., July 2—(P)— John Hughes Curtis, of Norfolk, Va. was convicted Saturday of aiding the kidnapers of the Lindbergh baby, and | preventing their capture. H | The jury recommended mercy in| announcing its verdict. The case was given to the jury at | 9.33 a. m. (E. 8. T.), and the deliber- | jations lasted almost exactly four | hours, The great bell in the Colonial court house was tolled as signal that the jury had reached a verdict. Curtis came into court to hear the jury's decision with solemn face and walked directly to the bar of justice. One of his brothers slapped him en- couragingly on the back as he crossed the room. Curtis will be sentenced on July 11 by Judge Adam O. Robbins, who pre- sided at the trial. Assistant Attorney General Joseph Lanigan, a member of the prosecution staff, said that an ap- plication would probably be made at that time for an increase of Curtis’ bail to $15,000. The maximum penalty under the indictment on which Cuftis was con- victed. is three yeats imprisonment and $1,000 fine.

D., July 2—(7)—The Non- partisan League's landslide victory in the congressional and state contests for Republican nominations in Wed- nesday’s primary election was topped off by an even more amazing display of strength in legislative contests in which nearly complete returns Sat- ‘urday showed the Leaguers won 20 senatorial and 81 house nominations. The I. V. A.’s took seven of the 27| senatorial nominations, and 30 of the | 113 house contests, while two house nominations remain in doubt, with | x Probability that they may go I. V. The calculations include one I. V. A. nominee who had a lead of only three votes over a Nonpartisan rival in a district where incomplete re-| turns were available. By winning these contests, the Nonpartisans are in a position to hold at least 30 seats in the next sen- ate, since they have 10 holdovers. ; The I. V. A.’s, if successful in seat- ing their nominees, will have only 19 Places. They have 12 holdovers. In the house, the Nonpartisans are in & position to hold better than a two-thirds majority. A two-thirds majority in the senate would be 32.

To make the day complete, Mercer, Oliver and Dunn ousted two more I. V. A.’s and replac- ed them with Nonpartisans. The Ward county rejection of I. V. | A. Senator Bond had been preceeded by the turning back of I. V.

Its next step is presenta- tion to house and senate, which can} not take up the measure before Tues- day since they are in recess over} July 4. In the rough outline accepted by conferees, the relief program carries: $1,500,000,000 for loans through the reconstruction finance corporation for agriculture, industry, commerce or unemployment, provided adequate! security is offered, that the money can not be raised elsewhere and w not be used to pay debts. i $200,000,000 for relief loans to states | on a population basis. ' $100,000,000 for such loans on the basis of need. $300,000,000 for public works.

Roosevelt of New York, Democratic Presidential nominee, gave his personal |pledge to the convention which nominated him Saturday after- noon. The nominee flew here from Albany in a tri-motored plane, accompanied by members of his family and personal friends after being notified Friday night of his nomination. The Chicago Stadium had never known such a demonstra- tion and such sustained cheer- ing as greeted the dramatic en- trance of the party’s standard bearer of 1932. Amid tremendous enthusiasm, in- terrupted often by applause, Gov- ernor Roosevelt renewed his pledge of faith in the Democratic party, thanked the convention for the honor it had paid him, and then launched into a declaration of his views on ‘problems confronting the nation which is expected to serve as the keynote address of his campaign. His flight to Chicago and his ap- Pearance before the convention marked the first time that such a thing had occurred. It brought to a climax one of the most colorful con- ventions in recent American history and apparently had the effect of healing some of the wounds which were made during the heat of con- vention battles. It was not apparent, however, if it cured the most conspicuous scar sald ies Pipes ldareg decisions—the refusal of Roosevelt's principal oppo- nent, Alfred E. Smith, to promise his Support in the campaign or even com- ment on the victory of his old-time friend. Smith's possible future course re- mained a mystery much discussed as the delegates assembled for their last session. The nominee of four years ago was the only one of all the oppo- Sition candidates who did not with- draw and sound a call for harmony when it became apparent that Roose- velt was the winner. Makes No Comment After the Smith-pledged delegates. from an eastern bloc of states had kept their flag nailed to the mast to the end, Smith returned an unsmiliny “I have no comment to make” when asked if he would support the ticket. A similar reply was made by his friend John J. Raskob of New York. retiring chairman of the national committee. Smith and party of friends boarded & train-for New York early Saturday afternoon. this note of dissent, the Despit Roosevelt victory was impressive in its impetus and extent. After three early-morning ballots Friday had seen the governor far past &@ majority but climbing only slowly toward the needed two-thirds, Call- fornia and Texas opened a night con- vention session with the break to the leader which quickly developed into « stampede.
