Seeks House Seat DESCENDANT,OF 2 PRESIDENTS NOMINATED IN INDIANA. By the Assoclated Press. Sepator George W. Norris of Ne- braska will bolt the Republican ticket once again to support Franklin D. Roosevelt if the Democrats nominate him. The Nebraska independent gave as- surance last night that he would back the New Yorker, even as in 1828 he stumped for Alfred E. Smith against President Hoover. “History,” he sald, “has demonstrated that I was right in opposing him (Hoo- ver) four years ago.

Meanwhile, in the Democratic po- litical arena, another parade of favorite | sons and dark horses is beginning, stir- Ting the dust of new uncertainties for the party. Republican stalwarts are showing notable signs of consolidating thelr pocition behind President Hoover. At no previous time since the pre- convention campaign began has there been a more varied and conflicting dis- cussion of candidates among the Demo- crats, or greater outward show of hope- fulness among the Republicans.

The tend- ency has been to amend that judg- ment after more careful consideration, but the search for a compromise can- didate is going forward with great dili- gence. One of the greatest evidences of the dominant position still occupied by Roosevelt lies in the fact that nothing like an agreement is in sight on any one candidate to oppose him. 5 EXAMINATIONS URGED By a Btaff Corresponfent of The Star.
