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. :.;
. Interviewed, he , recalled how he
hod i.gullantly toured the country
in, the. interests of his candidacy
hpw hp had been stuck in North .Da

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. They Insisted they
were Hoover delegates. But Dr. France
replied they had a moral obligation,
that they were men of honor and

, "Long practice of disagreeing the
preferential primary has made an im
moral act something to be winked at.
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.
France said, his case could only be
compared . with that of Roosevelt in
11)12. when primary delegates, of :T.
R,'a voted Xor .'Xaft, . Not since 1912,
ho said, had thero been any such se
rious breach of faith. , '

But Russell Hawkins, .head,, of the

were unwilling, ta ..repudiate the
"popular choice." ..They, would vote

Well, their delegates just laughed.

was Just a big joke on .Dr.' France.

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. She refuses to
devote her entire day to problems of
the menage, for she has kept abreast
of affairs since the day she left the
National School of Mines, which her
father directed, to .marry the future;
president of France,
She speaks English and is. fond
of both British and American lit
erature. She maintains a wide in
terest In achaeology which, she
studied at the School of Mines.
She loves music and slips away to
a concert whenever she has the
chance.
Between times she finds a few
hours for charitable undertakings and:
to keep up with educational affairs.
Her 8 -months old grandson, Pierre,
and 3-year-old granddaughter. Anna
Marie, are her -delight. ' They spent
hcJurs at the-. .Luxembourg PMace
when t liit grandmother presided
there as wife of the president pt the

youngsters will be seen frequently
In the Imposing salons of the Elysees
Palace.
Their ' mother Is Mme. Pierre

ANEW GASOLINE! 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

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.
