No one dis- | putes his repomination, and apparently no outstanding leader is trying to pre- | vent it.

Minnesota Woman Leads Bolt of Minne- sota Democrats. MINNEAPOLIS, April 1 (#)—A gray- haired, middle-aged woman today said *“No,” and with that vanished hope of reuniting Minnesota Democrats before the party's national convention at Chi- ©ago in June. Her decision made certaln that two | full slates of delegates from the State will compete for seats at the meeting to nominate the party’s candidate for Preside: And knocking at the con- vention door at the head of one slate seeking admittance will be the woman, Mrs. Ruth Haynes Carpenter. ‘When the party’s State convention ‘was held early in March and delegates instructed to support Gov. Franklin D. | Roosevelt of New York were chosen, | Mrs. Carpenter started a bolt of dis- senters. She organized a rump con- vention which selected another slate of delegates without instructing them, al- | though Mrs. Carpenter and most of her | followers are potential supporters of former Gov.

STARLING PEST SPREADS New London, Conn., Asks District Advice on Fighting Evil. 'The District is not alone in its starling predicament. But its bird troubles have ornamented the front pages of the country’s newspapers for so long that the outside world is beginning to look upon us as expert in the matter, and to send here for advice and assistance. The City of New Britain, Conn., wrote to the Secretary of the Interior for in- formation on how to rid itself of the startling pest, and the secretary for- warded the request to the District Com- missioners. In New Britain, according to John E. Downs, its supervisor of buildings, an attempt was made to poison the birds. The only effect noticed, however, is that the number of the birds roosting on public buildings has increased nightly. porters began calling her the “Joan of Arc of the party.” DEMOCRATS TO DINE.

FILIPINOS UNINSTRUCTED Island Democrats Stipulate in Favor of Unit Rule. MANTILA, April 1 (#).—Democrats of the Philippines voted today to send an uninstructed delegation of six to the Democratic National Convention, but stipulated that the unit rule must be_followed.
