D, December 1.—The republican; democratic and farmer- libor party leaders met in caucus liere today to discuss their choices of vandidates and the more important vlanks of their platforms, with a view 1o arranging affairs for the state pro- Vosal conventions at Pierre Tuesday to-finish business in one day. A struggle between adherents of President Coolidge and Senator Hi- ram Johnson of California will fea- ture the republican proposal conven- tion, it is indicated. A possibility exists that the demo. cratic and farmer-labor parties wil tmalgamate, at least on their presi- iential choice, and conference com- mittecs which will work between 1hese two parties will be appointed higre at the cauncuses. At the county proposal elections a dispute arose in the democrutic party cver the number of votes obtained oy Heury Ford and Willlam Gibbs Me- Adoo, supporters of both the manu- facturer and the former cabinet mem- ber claiming a.preponderance of dele- Eates to the state democratic conven- tion.
