DY the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, June 25.—Dr. Francis E. Townsend intimated today that his old-age pension movement may launch out soon with a presiden- tial candidate of its own. A decision on this, as well as on the Townsendites’ attitude toward Repre- will be reached at a convention July 15-19 in Cleveland, Dr. Townsend said. Branding the Democrats’ meeting as “only a lot of smoke and noise,” Townsend said that “if you could get at the heart of half the people at the convention you would find that they are in sympathy” with Al Smith and the four other anti-New Dealers who asked the convention to abandon President Roosevelt. No Support for Democrats. It is “impossible, Townsend said, that any support from his $200-a- month organization will go to the Democrats “because we are not having anything to do with a party built upon bad faith, as this one is.” ‘Townsend said he would “not be in- terested at all” in the Lemke move- ment unless delegates to the Cleve- land convention manifest “a profound interest.’ In response to reporters’ questions, “We may nominate a man of our own. We would have to move: very rapidly, of course, to get registered. We would not be able to get on the ballot in some States, but in those we could indorse other candidates for the presidency.” 20,000,000 Townsend Vote Seen. This course, he sald, “would strengthen the whole movement” by bringing oul the Townsend vote, which he contended would total 20,000,000, A check has shown, he said, that the clubs could get their candidate’s name on the ballot in about 30 States even after the July convention.
