2 Former Willkie
States to Choose
Delegates Today
(By the Associate! Press)
Some indication of who is
going to inherit the New Eng
land following that had Tx-en gen
erally conceded to Wendell L.
Willkie may come today when
Maine and Connecticut choose
their delegates to the republican
national convention.
Willkie himself has made no
public move since dropping out
of the running, and the activity
in one or tils former political
strongholds took on fresh pi
quancy with the sudden resur
gence of a draft-MacArthur-for-president
movement.
Connecticut, first state, to vote
solidly for Willkie four years ago,
names lb delegates today but
they probably will go to the Chi
cago convention without instruc
tions. And the field Was left wide
open when House Minority Lead
er Joseph W. Martin of Massa
chusetts told them last night that
the republican party has "a num
ber of good men" qualified for
the presidency.
Maine republicans choose the
first six of their 13 delegates aft
er hearing their convention
chairman. Rep. Margaret C.
Smith, warn against permitting
"the glamor of apparent victory
to blind us." Maine' also was
strong for Willkie in 1940.
More Backing For F. R.
.Meanwhile President Roosevelt
appeared likely to pick up somr
more fourth term support at a
scheduled meeting today of Mich
igan democrats, who will name
convention delegates holding 38
votes.
Democrats gathered also in
Minnesota, where they were ex
pected to merge with farmer la
borites preparatory to selecting
24 delegates to the democratic
national convention tomorrow.
. Tomorrow will be another busy
day for the republicans, with Ari
zona picking 8 delegates, Idaho
11 and Virginia completing its
slate of 19. Iowa democrats will
name a fourth term delegation
with 20 votes the same day.
