Nelson Draws Criticism
for Convention Acts ;
Minds Kept Open
By STEPHEN C. MERGLER
:'Sit tight and wait till o u f
delegates come home."
That sentiment prevailed yev
terday among a number of Salem
Townsend club leaders who were
asked for their reactions to the
- reported tumultuous events which
transpired late last week at th
national convention in Cleveland,
O.
The antics of Theodore G. Nel
son, who yesterday claimed to
have withdrawn from a position
s3 delegate to which the leader
of the Oregon delegation later
declared Nelson had never- been
admitted, elicited caustic com
ment from DtvH. C. Epley, pres
ident of Salem club No. 1.
".The article he put in the pa
per didn't do us any good," Ep
ley declared, referring to Nelsoa
titingly as "hU royal highness ot
(club) No. 3."
Nelson's Influence ;
Held Overestimated ..... , ,
,. in William Thieken, one-time
president of club No. , discount
ed Nelson's Importance, averring
bis influence had been overestim
ated. He laughed, at the incident
of Nelson's self-reported "with
drawal" from the convention.-
"That's what they warned us
against, dissension from within
rather than from the outside."
Thielsen remarked. "I'm inclined
to believe when the delegates get
home there will be a different
story." ' "
Third party talk is unimport
ant in so far as fostering , th e
Town3end old age pension plan is
concerned, Thielsen held. ,
"We don't care about any presi
dent," he explained. "What we
want is to get congressmen."
The effort at tbe convention to
have the Townsend organization
endorse William Lemke, presiden
tial candidate, and his Union par
ty was "foolish," P. G. Delano,
another former president of club
No. , asserted.
"It's Inopportune and not only
that but the history of third par
ties has been disastrous," Delano
added. .
Delano said be hadn't "any re
action" to the convention but add
ed be understood "most of the
delegates were against' the Un
ion party.
Neither does W. M. Smith, pres
ent executive of club No. 6. think
a third party endorsement by
Townsend members would be
wise. "I don't believe in it at
all," he said.
Like most of the pension club
members questioned, J3mltb indi

tional convention of Townsend
clubs today that their old age
pension plan is unworkable hut
be wis met with : a chorus of
booes and the session wound up
with a rote which left Dr. Francis
EL Townsend In control of the
movement. (
Thomas appealed to the dele
gates to rally to the socialistic
movement to do away with the
capitalistic system.
He said he did not believe that
the transactions tax, through
which the Townsendltea propose
to pay 200 a month pension to
all persons over 0, would work.
A resolution was brought be
fore the convention proposing to
reorganise so that the board of
directors would be elected by the
citizens maxim .1 or district lead
ers. This would have stripped Dr.
Townsend of much of his power.

Robert . Clements, co-founder
of the " Townsend old age pen

from the organization, said 'to
night that "moneyed interests"
were ready to spend "as high as
$200,000,000 to stop Roosevelt."
The former Long Beach, Calif.,
real estate operator, here as "un
official observer", of the second
national Townsend convention,
said the "interests" hoped to
achieve their end by launching a
third party", which would deflect
enough - liberal democratic votes
to elect the republican nominee.
"I was approached by a repre
sentative of a New York trust
company ' Just after, the Town
send convention in Chicago last
year," Clements said. "I was
given to understand that finan
cial interests were willing to
spend as high as $200,000,000 to
stop Roosevelt and that consid
erable portion would be used to
finance tbe third party."
