ROOSEVELT'S FOES WININ MINNESOTA Democratic “Rumpers” to| Use Victory to Contest In- structed Delegation. By the Associated Press. | ST. PAUL. June 22—A surprise vic- | tory scored by Democratic ‘“rumpers” in Monday's State primaries was shaped | into a weapon today in an effort to prevent seating of Minnesota's Roose- velt-instructed delegation to the na- tional convention next week. “Rumpers” who bolted the State con- vention when the delegation was chosen | said they would uce the victory to bolster up charges that unfair methods were employed at the convention. The “rumpers” organized their own conven- tion, selected an uninstructed delega- tion' mostly favorable to Alfred E Smith and entered candidates in the primary in a successful effort to wrest control of the State party machinery from the “regulars,” or Roosevelt group. Claims Repudiation. John E. Regan, wha won the party’s nomination for Governor, asserted that the triumph of the “rumpers'” slate amounted to ‘“repudiation” of the Roosevelt convention indorsement. He said “the repudiation reflected growing sentiment throughout the Nation.” Prohibition resubmissionists won & majority of places in the race fcr con- gressional nominations, in which 88 candidates were entered for three pei- | ties, with nine nominated by each. In- complete returns placed nine men fa- vorable to resubmission in the lead for Democratic nominations. Eight of the Farmer-Labor leaders were favorable to submission, with the position of the eighth, John' Paul Kvale, incumbent, uncatalogued. Eight of the leaders for Republican neminations favor resubmission or re- peal of the eighteenth amendment, with one out-and-out dry, N. J. Holmberg, apparently assured a piace by strong rural support. Republican leaders in- cluded Harold Knutson, W. I. Nolan, William A. Pittenger, August H. An- cdresen and Meivin J. Maas, incumbents. Another incumbent, C. G. Selvig. a dry, threggened to replace Maas. Two dry’ incumbents, Victor Christgau and Godfrey G. Goodwin, were apparently climinated WILL OPPOSE BARKLEY Democrat to Seek Nomination in Kentucky Against Keynoter. FRANKFORT. Ky, June 22 (#).— Former State Senator George B.

Paul V. McNutt of Bloomington, 41- year-old dean of the Law School at In- diana University and former national sommander of the American Legion, was nominated by the Democratic State Ccn- vention yesterday. He was unopposed, two other candidates having withdrawn. McNutt will oppose Raymond S. Springer of Connersville, first com- mander of the Indiana Department of the Legion, nominated recently by the Republican State Convention. The Democrats will place in the field against the veteran Republican United States Senator James E. Watson, Fred- erick Van Nuys of Indianapolis, who won the nomination over Walter Myers. also of Indianapolis. Platforms of the parties are similar, each reccmmending submission of the repeal question to non-partisan State conventions, and declaring against re- turn of the saloon.

The past has seen some mighty strug- gles, with the roll calls running long and high. Take that meeting the Democrats had in New York back in 1924, for instance. They had to have 103 ballots before they picked John W. Davis as their standard bearer. That was the longest contest in_the history of the party, but there have been others in which the fight was long and wearing. Laid to Two-Thirds Rule. In the conventions held since 1896 the Democrats have had nearly 10 times as many roll calls as the Re- publicans. That's chiefly because the sons of Jefferson have required a two- thirds _vote to nominate, while the G O. P. does it with a majority. The Republicans have called the roll for presidential aspirants 22 times in the crats have had to take 202 to do the work. In 1860, when the Democrats met in Charleston, S.

By a Staft Correspond CHICAGO, June Long, Louisiana’s self-styled “Kingfish,” may find the rs of the Democratic Nationai Convention hard to navigate. Long and his hand-picked delegation face a stiff fight before the National Committee and the Credentials Com- mittee of the convention. The contest will fitst be broached at a meeting of a subcommitiee of the National Com- mitte tomorrow. John D. Ewing, heading a contesting delegation, had this to say today about the case: “Our_delegation is confident of being seated by the ruling powers of the con- vention, There is no doubt of either our legal or moral rignts.

It is also well to remember that the Louisiana Legislature in ses- sion during the 1928 Houston Conven- tion unanimously passed a law in both nouses making it mandatory to select delegates and officers to national eom- ventions by State convention. “It is more than significant that the ! then Gov.

The contesting delegation as well as the Long delegation are supposed to be for the nomination of Roosevelt for President.
