BYRD T0 BATILE CHANGE IN RULES Glass and Peery Also to Be *_Members of Virginia Delegation. BY WILL P. KENNEDY. nator Harry Flood Byrd, national committeeman for Virginia, heading & strong delegation and supported by Senator Carter Glass and Gov. George C. Peery, is going to the convention in Philadelphia, determined to .oppose abrogation of the two-thirds rule. ‘This issue will be fought out before the Rules Committee of the conven- tion, for which Senator Bennett C. Clark of Missouri has been selected as chairman by the party organization. Senator Glass has been non-committal on the subject, but is known to be chronically opposed to the contem- plated change, wishing, however, to avoid a clash with the forces which seem determined to abolish the two- thirds rule. The issue in which the Virginia delegation is most interested is whether Senator Glass who has served 40 years on the Platform Committee —since 1896—will again be placed on the Resolutions Committee. He is not supposed to be the choice of the administration fofces in control of the convention. Senator Glass, how- ever, is expected by the old stalwarts of the party to have a great deal to say about several planks in the plat- form. Caucus Tomorrow. Both the Virginia and Maryland delegations are to caucus tomorrow night in Philadelphia on organization, and later on the two-thirds rule. Strong delegations from both Mary- land and Virginia will go to the con- vention tomorrow. The Maryland delegation is headed by Senators Mil- lard E. Tydings and George L.

BY the Associated Press. A write-in campaign may be neces- sary in some States if the new “Union party” wishes to register its prefere ence for Representative William Lemke, the party’s presidential nominee. In at least three States the way for Lemke's electors to appear upon the November election ballot appeared barred. In Michigan, the State of residence of Rev. Charles E, Coughlin, who has urged his Social Justice Union follow- ers to support Lemke, the Union party name cannot appear on the bal- lot, State officials said, because six months are required to certify a politi- cal party. Oklahoma Date Closed. The filing period for candidates in Oklahoma closed May 2 and in Kan- sas at noon yesterday. Kansas also barred the way for an- other “third party” to enter that State when the Prohibition party failed to provide enough signatures to petit'ems for its presidential candidate, Dr. D. Leigh Colvin. Edward Blake of Chicago, national chairman of the Prohibition party, did | not attempt to file the petitions as the deadline was reached, but lashed at Kansas, home of the Republican in fact.” Other States said that there was time for Lemke's party to file peti- tions if the required number of voters’ signatures could be obtained. 7,213 Indiana Need. In Indiana it needs only 7.213. In Maryland 2,000 voters must sign a petiticn swearing they will vote for the party nominee they attempt to get on the ballot.
