MINORITY PARTIES . CROWD INTO RACE At Least Three Seek Role of “Bull Moose” and La Follette. By the Associated Press. Almost numberless “third parties” #gain this presidential election year beckon to the dissenters from orthodox tickets and platforms. To millions of voters, of course, No- vember offers just a choice between Hoover and Roosevelt, but there remain the aspiring organizers of new groups with their wide assortment of ideas and candidates. Backers of at least three of these minority movements hope they can play | a role comparable to Theodore Roose- velt's “Bull Moose” party of 1912 or t¢ ;igcflh‘ La Folleite’s Progressive sorties of Prepare for November. They are: The Prohibition pasty, rep- resenting one wing of the country’s dry sentiment; the “Liberty party,” grouping the more :adical independents of the Central and Western agricultural zone, and the League for Independent Politi- cal Action, based largely on the strength of political reformers in the East. The Democratic and Republican con- ventions took the headlines and na- tional attention, but before, during and after the majcr party activity, these three and others met to prepare for the November battle. First of the minority groups in na- tional attention up to now has been the Prohibition party. This group, which existed even before the turn of the cen- tury, blossomed into new life at Indian- apolis Jast week because of the wet trend in the platforms of both major parties To record a resounding anti-wet pro- test. it sought the leadership of Senator Borah of Idaho and the support of the big dry organizations. Neither mate- | rialized imme 1y, so the party offers ' as its presidential candidate William | D. Upshaw, ex-Representative and dry | lecturer from Georgia. He is willing | and anxious to quit the saddle the mo- | ment Borah or another national figure agrees to take that leadership. Two other groups aspiring to inde- pendent leadership pitch their platforms on economic grounds, both left wing, lib- eral or radical, depending on the point | of view. Fusion Is Doubtful. The Liberty party, claiming to be a; fusion of Farmer-Labor, Progressive and | Socialist_parties, the Monetary League | and the Farmers’ Union, put forward in | S City July 4 a ticket headed by | Elbridge Webb of California, the r-Labor candidate of 1928." He received just 6,390 votes four years ago. Jacob S.

The Socialist-Labor party puts forward Vernie L. Reynolds, one- time steamfitter, who through various minority parties in 1928 received 21,603 votes from 19 States. Many other lesser groups are in the fleld again this year with “Labor,” * dustrial,” “National” and similar to identify them. One of the simply as the “National party,” at In- dianapolls _Saturday nominated John Zahnd of Indianapolis as its candidate. A survey of the entire list has yet to disclose anything entirely new or any- thing definitely pointed so far toward great strength.

Millions Claimed In Flowery Wills Become Nuisance Chicago Court Is Kept| Busy Dispelling False Hopes. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, July 11—The practice of bestowing a few odd millions of dollars apon relatives, chance ecquaintances and such, is a laudable one, says Mitchell Robin, clerk of Probate Court. Unless you haven't the millions to give away, in which case it becomes a nuisance. Delving into his musty files today, Mr. Robin produced some 5000 wills, none of which have been admitted to | probate. “You'd be surprised,” he said, “at the number of persons who sit themselves down and write up a lang flowery will disposing of fanciful fortunes they never possessed.” One of the documents was drawn up by a Joliet convict before his death and purported to dispose of an estate of $1.500,000 to more than a score of heirs. The “benefactors” were several years in convincing themselves the man was actually without funds, Robin said. AMERICAN'S BODY FOUND IN NORTH Labrador Indians Believed to Have Located One of Three Missing Many Months. By the Associated Pr | ST. JOHN'S. Newfoundland, July 11. | —A body believed to be that of an ex- | plorer from the United States was | found by Nascopie Indians in June on | the banks of Georges River, Labrador, said a message received here last night. | No details of the discovery were | available Belief was expressed here last night that the body was that of either Her- man Kohler or Fred Connell, two ad- venturous Americans who started a canoe trip into the barren Labrador- Quebec peninsula last July and were reported only once since. The message was from Richard White of Hopedale, Labrador. | Were From New Jersey. Both the Americans were from New Jersey, Kohler from Orange and Connell | from Glen Ridge They entered the Kokosoak River at | Chimo on Ungava Bay, traveling by | canoe up to its source, which took | them in a southerly direction into the | interior of the peninsula. They were | accompanied by Jim Martin, a_veteran anadian northland traveler, who knew | the_country Their intention was to swing to the east, traveling the numerous streams | and lakes to Northwest River at the | head of Hamilton inlet on the Labra- dor coast. From that point they could be picked up by a regular coastal ves- sel and taken to Newfoundland and | thence to their homes. Last Word in February. For several months no news of them was heard. but this caused little anxiety because of the nature of the country. Then, on February 15, a message nearly five months old, carried over Labrador by Indians, dog team mail and radio, reached St. John's. It was from Richard White and read “Kohler, Connell and Martin have not arrived yet. I have met some In- dians who carried a message to me written by Kohler, dated September 21, stating they were well and headed for Davis inlet. I saw the Indians on De- cember 20.” ASKS DECREE FROM WIFE Prince Georges Man Charges in Suit She Deserted Him. UPPER MARLBORO, Md.,, July 11— Accusing his wife of deserting him, John . A.
