Third-Term Advocates WininNew Hampshire Democratic Primary Republican Delegates ‘Uninstructed,’ as Bridges Requested By G. GOULD LINCOLN. New Hampshire Democrats, in the first presidential preferential primary of the year, yesterday gave President Roosevelt a complete slate of delegates to the Democratic Na- tional Convention —and another shove ahead to the third term draft movement, In the Republican primary, a slate of “uninstructed” delegates to the G. O. P. National Convention was elected, in line with the recom- mendation of Senator H. Styles Bridges, favorite son candidate for the presidential nomination. Senator Bridges’ vote, the heaviest cast for any of the Republican dele- gates at large, was interpreted by former Senator George Moses as a definite indication that “Styles Bridges is the State’s favorite son,” and, he added, “the delegation from New Hampshire now has an oppor- tunity after more than a half cen- tury to make a bold bid for the presidency.” From Senator Bridges, himself, came the simple statement, “I feel I have reason to express by grati- tude to the people of New Hamp- shown in me.” The size of the vote cast in the Republican primary was about dou- ble that cast in the Democratic. For example, the vote cast for former Gov. Huntley Spaulding, who ran fourth in the Republican contest for four delegates at large, was 24,238 in 280 out of 294 precincts, while the vote cast for Mayor Damase Caron of Manchester, who led the Demo- cratic slate of delegates at large, was only 10,281, Burke Polls 4,335. The Roosevelt slate was, with few exceptions, not contested. However, Charles A. Burke, pledged to Post- master General James A. Farley, had a total of 4,335.

Cer-! tainly those voters who turned in their ballots for Garner delegates ! may be considered unfavorable to the renomination of the President. Bridges, Tobey Elected. The two Republican Senators from New Hampshire, Bridges and Tobey, were both elected delegates at large to the G. O. P. National| Convention. Next to them ran Mr.| Moses, and former Gov. Spaulding | was fourth. Gov. Francis P. Murpny, Repub- lican, lost in his race for delegate | at large. The defeat of a sitting | Governor for election as a delegate at large to a national political con- vention is regarded as a strange phenomenon in New Hampshire. Gov. Murphy not long ago was ex- tremely critical of the national Re- publican organization. The candidacy of Thomas E.| Dewey, New York district attorney, | for the Republican presidential | nomination received no boost from | the New Hampshire primary. Mr. Dewey refrained from going into the State in search of delegates—as did other leading contenders for the nomination—on the ground that New Hampshire had a favorite son candidate in Senator Bridges and the way should be left open to him. One Dewey-pledged delegate can- didate, J. Howard Gile of Nashua, insisted on running, despite a re- quest from Mr. Dewey himself that he withdraw. Mr. Gile was far out of the running, when the votes were tabulated. And another Dewey sup- porter, Prof. James P. Richardson of Hanover, although he ran up- pledged, was defeated by a sub- stantial margin. No Surprises in Primary. There were no surprises except the defeat of Gov. Murphy. It had | been generally predicted that the | Roosevelt slate of delegates would | easily win, and it did. On the Re- publican side there had been no doubt whatever that the unpledged slate, supported by Senator Bridges and the Republican organization, would be victorious. The New Hampshire delegation in both the Republican and the Dem- ocratic National Conventions will have eight votes. The Democrats. however, will send to the conven- tion delegates at large with half a vote each, which is contrary to the practice of the Republicans, who * elect only four delegates at large. Under the New Hampshire pri- mary law the delegates pledged to President Roosevelt, as they now are, will stick by the President until they are released by him. They are not compelled, however, to vote for any other candidate the President may favor, but are free to use their own judgment after being released.

On December 31, 1917, Finland received from the So- viet government recognition of her independence. Since then the mighty Soviet state has observed peaceful treaty relations with its neighbor, who has not always pursued a policy of respect for the rights and inter- ests of the pacific Soviet people, and was actually preparing a war base at the very gates of Leningrad.” . “Outbreak of the second imperial- ist war,” Pravda asserted, “con- fronted the Soviet government with the urgent task of ensuring the state frontiers. This is the duty owed the people by a government which has no wish to take part in a clash of imperialist powers, is de- termined to follow its own inde- pendent policy and will not let itself be involved in war entailing in- numerable calamities for the peo- ples of the world.” Stowe utterly Finnish.

ROME, March 13.—Gen. Ubaldo Soddu, undersecretary of war, told the Fascist Chamber today that Italy is ready to defend its liberty of action with 1,000,000 trained men under arms and with a fortified bulwark across its Alpine frontiers. Gen. Soddu outlined development of Italy’s military might since the outbreak of the war. The occasion of his remarks was the considera- tion of the war ministry’s budget for the coming fiscal year. The undersecretary for war said the million trained men all were re- cruited from the younger war classes and added that an ever-increasing mass of reservists guarantees raising the army within the shortest time to “a level of strength which the ex- igencies of the situation may re- quire.” . Ttaly is in a “privileged” frontier position, Soddu said, confirming that Italy had fortified her frontier with Germany as well as with France. Natural Barriers Utilized. Italian fortifications, the under- secretary went on, are not so much an artificial system like the Maginot and Siegfried Lines, but more an “integrating and strengthening of natural obstacles.” The address came amidst general expressions of Italian satisfaction that Russia and Finland had signed a peace treaty. The undersecretary confirmed that Italy had strengthened her frontier defenses facing both Germany and | France. “We began this fortification some time ago and carried it out on all frontiers, convinced that the first necessity of a strong nation is to guarantee the inviolability of its territory,” he said.
