I, convention. Hy Itmlney im teller (NEA Service Writer) (Copyright, 1932.. NEA Service, Inc.) CHICAGO, June 37 Careful Bearch through Chicago disclosed only one candidate for the Republican, presi dential nomination. :Hls name was Joseph Irwin Prance. He is on ex-senator from the state of Maryland, . . . '. .Herbert Hoover didn't come. - Dr. France intimated a belief . that . Mr. Jloover'wos afraid to come. After uU, hadn't her, .Franco, entered one presidential primary after another run-- stales 11. ail and won the high vote in seven of them? ;Dr. 'France wouldn't admit that he wasn't going to.be nominated. He hud tables to show and a big sign over the entrance to his large handsome headquarters, at the Congress- Hotel .announced that in states where ., primary laws, provide for direct .vote on candidates he had polled. . 1,223,760 votes as against Hoover's 90,679. Consequently, Dr. France claimed 231 .delegates in structed by the. voters and insisted that the voters ad only given Hoo ver 19.. . It all seemed pretty impressive and there was no question that it was Dr. Franqe and not Mr. Hoover who had gone out and cleaned up such votes as were cast nl the state prestdqnltnl primaries. TIN: PltlMAKIKS -.- yhe, only . trouble ,. was that Dr. Franco thought, or pretended to think, that the people and not the politicians were, the ones who nomi nated presidential .candidates. ..... .. The real function of Dr. France was to serve as a horrible example to prove that the presidential pri maries have fallen into a state of de cay, which in 1932 has given the coup tie grace to the sweet , theory thut nominees are popular choices rather than, those of political bosses. .Poor old Joe France stands as a loud advocate of , popular govcrn nen.t as .traditionary identified with those primaries. Furthermore, one must admit that , lie acted the part of a candidate up to the, last min ute. . Hp admitted that he himself iiifeht no.t be the nominee, but did insist that Hoover had been licked and . that Frflnee had been the roal obstructing force. ' It seemed too bad about Joe, who Is tall, handsome and altogether amiable. He Is large, lumbering in gait; tanned and given to white suits, white nnd tan sports shoes ond a bow tie. He laughed heortlly n?. he dwelt on the political fate he and "others" were going to mete out to Mr. Hoover. :.; .

JI MP TO IIOOVKIt , Qiie suggested that less .thnu . a couple of dozen delegates from the states where he had won the. prefer ential primaries actually intended to vote for him.

That's why we expect to offer a rule pledging our party to considering the preferential primary results as bind ing on delegates." Dr.- France admitted that Mr. Hoover hadn't 'entered the pri maries against him extept in Maryland. His explanation was that the administration forces dared not risk a popular defeat. The ex planation of the administration forces! was that all Republicans were behind Hoover anyway, that no one took Dr. France seriously, so why bother?. They did enter Hoover In Maryland, after the Republican state machine had assured, them that : they could give Dr. France a sound' licking in his own state which would effectually dispose of him. Hoover beat France, 27.000 to 17,000. : ; , II he were to be victimized by a general disregard of drlmary votes.

Premier Femme Of France Is, Modern Lady liy Adelaide Kerr PARIS tm The historic old mirrors of the French presidential: palace reflect the Image of a mod ern French woman, now that Mme. Albert Lebrun has stepped into it as first lady of the land. ..... The new hostess of the palace, In which the glamorous Empress Jo sephine once presided, keeps house by modern methods.

OREGON DELEGATION DECIDES TO GIVE SUPPORT TO WALSH (Continued from Page One) delegates that this did not meet with the favor of the ex-senator. j Many of the Oregon delegates be lieve Governor Roosevelt, to whom they are pledged, and who has their general personal support, will not bring the majority rule question be fore the convention. But if the mat ter does become an Issue the Ore gonlans are determined to support their candidate, not only In this, but in other questions of policy The Oregon delegation voted to support an agricultural plank drawn by E. B. Aldrlch, editor of the Pen dleton East-Oregonian, demanding consideration of agriculture by the government on the same basts as that enjoyed by Industry. Joseph K.

Buoyant; swift; alert. Proved on the road in cars like yours. Aero-type with the same 9ctane stability re quired in aviation gasoline. Yet at no increase in price. t Back to fundamentals. Away with meaning less claims.. Here are the facts about octane facts proved on the road and hot alone in labo ratories. These are basic truths about a new, pure, crystal-clear gasoline made expressly to meet present day requirements. We told our engineers: "Make a new gasoline that will give the mo torist the finest results and the most jfor tiis money. See that it meets the toughest tests of today's driving." The result this new, aero-type gasoline, with ' ' ' i' ' . i 4 Exclusive Developments 1. OCTANE STABILITY. Gasolines with so-ciilcd "high octane" numbers but without octane-stability are rejected for aviation service because tfiey knock under .severe, operating conditions. Associated "PLYING A" for your car has identi cally the same octane stability required in pia. tion gasolines'. You get sustained anti-knock per formance no matter how fast or hard you drive. 2. HEART-CUT OFTJ HE CRUDE. Associated "PLYING A" h refined from the heart-cut only of selected gasoline crudes. Heavy fractions and too volatile fractions are rejected. That's how you get aero-type quality, for aeroplane performance in your car. You need not fear dreaded vapor lock those "popping," gassy fractions are gone. 3. EQUI -FRACTIONATING PROCESS. Tl 'his t. ' ? t ; cream ot tne crude then goes through our ex clusive cqui-fractionating process to assure all S vital performance qualities Starting, Pick-up, Power, Speed and Mileage not just one alone. A truly balanced motor fuel is the result. CLIMATICALLY CORRECT. Wherever you drive you'Jl find Associated "PLYING I" specifi cally refined for climatic conditions there and then. We studied 10-year temperature records for districts and seasons. Now, times a year we ', atjjus.t your ; Associated "ft YN.G l" 'in accord with the weather in each of the 4 coast sections. This seasonal adjustment assures 5 -quality per ' formance at all times. , ( Today you can proy these exclusive develop ments fdt yourself, with a tank-fuli of Associated .''FLYING A" Aero-type Gasplinie from he red, ree and cream pump. Its smooth, dynamic, ytfiet performance is the result you've b.een look ing for in gasoline. " Octane numbers are based on laboratory rat ings. In actual road performance they fail to in dicate anti-knock efficiency. Their value breaks down under road operating conditions. Hours of driving in cars like yours 'proved the unexcelled octane sta bility of Associated "FLYING A" Gasoline at all speeds and .voder every .driving condition. "Octane numbers" mean nothing; it's road-proven octane stability that counts. AccnniATcn mrGASOLINE Turie in Associated Spotlight, 90-mlnute radio cxtiravaganEa, every Saturday, 8:30 p. m.
