CHICAGO, July 2—Demand
of ballots to bring to a decisioi
last night on the Democratic part;
presidential nomination went 01
furiously yesterday after Governo
Franklin D. Roosevelt had failei
to achieve the needed two-thin
vote.
Worn from long hours, some o
the leaders on both sides sacrifice<
sleep to carry on important bar
gaining negotiations. The Roose
velt people were understood t<
have approached Speaker Game:
with overtures that he be the run
ning mate of Roosevelt. Up to th<
time of yesterday’s balloting thei:
overtures apparently had not borr
fruit, and it was understood thai
the persuasive elements here anc
in Washington were “working on’
Garner to get him on the ticket
and to have him induce the Garn
er delegates, 90 strong, from Cali
fornia and Texas, to ride aboard
the Roosevelt chariot.
The standings in the Democratic
race on the third ballot are as fol
lows: Roosevelt, 682.79; Smith
190 1-4; Garner, 1011-4; Ritchie
23 1-2; Baker, 8 1-2; Taylor, 40 1-4;
Byrd, 24; Reed, 271-2; White
52 1-2.
EARNER LIKELY TO BE
CLOSE RUNNING HE
NOMINEE ROOSEVELT
CHICAGO, July 2, —Roosevelt
wins the nomination!
Gamer will be his running mate!
The Democratic party last night
overwhelmingly nominated Frank
lin Delano Roosevelt, governor of
New York, for the presidency.
Flying from Albany, he will ar
rive here today to address the fin
al session of the National conven
tion. -1
In that session the Speaker of
the House, of Representatives, J.
N. Garner of Texas, is to be select
ed as the vice-presidential nomi
nee for the campaign against the
Republican Hoover-Curtis combi
nation between now and the No
vember elections.
Swept to the highest honor of
his party by a stampede that car
ried away all his rivals except Al
lred E. Smith, Roosevelt won 945
of the 1.148 votes cast. Smith got
190 votes; he declined to say
whether he would support the par
ty ticket. Close associates express
ed doubt that he would.
John J. Rascob. the retiring
chairman of the National Demo
cratic committee and a fervent
Smith partisan, also said “I have
no comment at all.”
Speaker Garner’s release of the
Texas and California delegations
pledged to him. just before the ses
sion, started the stampede that
swept across the excited stadium.
FSGGED-OOT DEMITS
IE SLEEPING IN THE
July Z, ’Do not
disturb” signs were plentiful today
along the corridors of Chicago ho
tels. They marked the temporary
resting places of fagged-out Demo
crats deep in sleep; recovering
from hours of cheering, shouting
and tramping along the milling
aisles of the convention hall.
They lost no time, when the con
vention finally adjourned, in get
ting to their rooms and into bed.
There were some exceptions—the
field marshals leading the forces
of the various candidates, who
through the night had fought
grimly to hold their lines intact,
and who stayed up all night for
one more check and brief confer- j
ences with their lieutenants before
balloting began.
GARNER NOMINATED
CHICAGO, July 2, (/P>—John N.
Garner of Texas was nominated
for vice-president at 11 o'clock to
day.
CHICAGO, July 2, —Franklin D.
Roosevelt is democracy’s presiden
tial nominee.
He won the coveted prize on the
fourth ballot of the national con
vention Friday night, after Speak
er John N. Garner, rival candidate,
had released his Texan delegates,
and after California had voted for
Roosevelt.
A deadlocked convention sudden
ly broke the jam and named the
New York governor to carry the
Democrat standard against Presi
dent Hoover in the fall election.
Garner for vice-president, a t
the hour of this report, was regard
ed as virtualy certain. His nom
ination came after a demonstration
that burst before the fourth ballot
nominating Roosevelt was fairly
underway. News that Speaker Gar
ner, strongly mentioned as Roose
velt’s running mate, had released
his delegates, reached the conven
tion before the opening.
Roosevelt people were in high
spirits last night when the call to
order came.
JUDGE GORE SWORN IN
KETCHIKAN, July 2, (TP;—Lester
O. Gore was sworn in as Federal
Judge of the Second Division, by
U. S. Commissioner W. S. Arnold.
He will leave, with his family, en
route to Nome, Monday and plans
to go to Seward by boat, thence
by train to Anchorage and from
tftere by plane direct to Nome.
CHICAGO. July 2. (IP)— John N.
Garner was nominated to be Gov.
Franklin Roosevelt’s running mate
j by acclamation and almost without
j opposition at today’s session of the
convention.
An anti-Garner group pondered
over a problem before the final no
mination as to whether they should
nominate Mary Norton, congress
! woman from New Jersey to the
| vice-presidency but they decided
j against it.
Iowa placed Generol Tindley’s
name in nomination for vice-pre
sidency but withdrew it and se
conded the Garner nomination.
Speaker Garner was in Washing
ton and was said to have slept
during the while the nominating
and seconding speeches were be
ing made.
He was notified by telephone
from Chicago of the hgnor bestow
i ed upon him by the party but he
< did not make any statement or
j comment whatsoever. He merely
; got up and went for a walk about
[ the Capitol city.

ered.
At the same time, said W. S

ganization co-ordinating with the

j the vicinity where the low-grade
gold strike was announced several
days ago, report that the mountain '
is just swarming with claim stak
ers who have availed themselves
to every possible means of trans
portation to reach the area.
Men have been leaving the city
on foot to go to that ar§a and of
ten they have left without any j
grub to speak of. Evidently they
are of the opinion that food will be
brought to the mountain.
While Cordova is seething with
excitement, nothing is being done
by the orignnal locators in the way
of development work.
All are awaiting the returns from
test analysis which have been sent
to Fairbanks, Juneau and to the

showdown before adjournment as
Senator Bingham, Republican of
Connecticut, introduced a proposal

measure, sufficient for passage.
BILL SIDETRACKED

and leave the St. Pierre bungalow
at “all hours of the day and night.”
“ON THE ROCKS”
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 2, —
The Hoover one-third world dis
armament plan, as such, seems'
definitely to have gone on the j
‘•rocks.” Japan’s plan of conquest!
in the Far East, France’s fear of!
of Germany’s ‘come back’ and of;
Britain’s determination to remain
the strongest sea power on earth,
have combined to wreck it.

SECOND MOOSE PISS
MINE DEIL OECODOEO
WITHIN PISI WEEK
Among the latest important min
ing deals to be closed is that of C.
W. Stone, who has acquired the
holdings of Roy Jacobs and Chris
Arnodt, consisting of six claims
on Lynx creek, Moose Pass district.
Mr. Stone, who arrived in Sew
ard Friday, announces that he is
installing a derrick for handling
boulders, increasing his pipeline
and ditch capacity, and now has a
crew of nine men employed. This
will be increased later in the sea
son.
Mr. Stone was at one time asso
ciated with Oscar Dahl in a Mills
Creek placer, near Mile 20, on the
Moose Pass highway, but relin
quished his interests to take over
the Lynx creek property.
During the summer extensive
prospecting work has been per
formed and Mr. Stone says he is
now almost ready to begin min
ing on a large scale.
“I agree with Arthur Brisbane
and others,” said Mr. Stone, “when
they say that Alaska offers the best
opportunities for the miner and
prospector, and assurance ’of
another great gold production.”
Rumors are that several other
deals in the Hope, Sunrise and
Moose Pass region are pending, and
many oldtimers face the prospect
of having money with which to
spend their remaining days in com
fort, while the famous region gives
promise of a revival equal to it$
first discovery.
Mrs. Stone arrived from the
States on the SS Aleutian and was
met by her husband.
mil BEGINS NEW
FISCAL HEM IN VERY
JUBILANT SPIRITS
■
SEATTLE, July 2, (/Pi—Despite
a deficit of $2,885,000,000, the
mightiest in peace time history,
I the nation Friday entered upon
| the new fiscal year with high hopes
| of coming out even, the result of
| the mammoth program of taxes
: and economy.
j Congress sent three appropria
| tions measures, including the bil
| lion, 56 million treasury and post
I office bill to the White House Fri
! day, leaving only two of the 11 sup
ply bills to be acted upon. These
are for the War and Agriculture
departments.
Before adjourning until Tues
day the question of retiring 2,000
officers, is in question, as is that in
the Agriculture department which
has requested an appropriation of
$1,450,000 for grasshopper control.
FISCAL YEAR FIGURES
WASHINGTON, July 2—The
government closed the fiscal year
1932 with a deficit of $2,885,000,000
compared with $903,000,000 for
1931, the Treasury announced. The
deficit now is transferred formally
to the Federal public debt, bringing
it to more than $19,000,000,000.
NO IMMEDIATE ADJOURNMENT
GENEVA, Switzerland, Juuly 2.—
Immediate adjournment of the
Arms conference can not bfe con
sidered by the United States dele
gation, Hugh S. Gibson, chief of
the American delegation informed
Premier J. Ramsay MacDonald of
Great Britain, and Arthur Hender
son, president of the conference.
He sought assurances that Britain
does not contemplate such action
as has been reported.
SMITH’S NON-SUPPORT
OF PARTY IS GLARING
SCAR OF CONVENTION
CHICAGO, July 2, (/P)—Making
new political history, the Demo
crats prolonged sessions to receive
and welcjcme to leadership its
choice for the presidency, Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, governor of New
York.
Roosevelt was nominated by the
unanimous support of delegates in
wild demonstrations, followed by
California and Texas breaking into
his column, after which state after
state rushed into the winner’s col
umn.
The selection today of John
N. Garner os Roosevelt’s running
mate, was freely concealed by every
party faction.
With no other business remain
ing before final adjournment, par
ty officials sought to make Roose
velt’s visit by airplane to the con
vention a grand finale and mem
orable of color and significance.
Hoping his appeal will cause har
mony and heal wounds opened by
the debate over many measures,
but scarcely believing it will cure a
conspicuous scar left from the con
vention, the decision of refusal by
Alfred Smith to promise his sup
port in the coming campaign is
causing some anxiety. Smith’s
future course remained a mystery.
He was the only one of the opposi
tion candidates who would not
withdraw at the sound and call for
harmony when it became apparent
that Roosevelt was the winner.
Roosevelt is already enroute to
the convention. The word has been
passed that Garner is acceptable
as Roosevelt’s running mate. Sev
eral other candidates will be pro
posed but with 90 Texas and Calif
ornia votes, his nomination is all
but assured. It is understood Gar
ner is willing.
RENO, Nev., July 2, (JP>—If Max
Baer and Harry Krakow, yclept,
King Levinsky, were not at their
physical peak at the conclusion of
Friday’s workout, it was too late to
make amends. For the King-fish
and Adonis finished their boxing
lessons this afternoon and neither
can offer excuses when they step
between the ropes for their 20
round skirmish in the Dempsey
Bowl Monday afternoon.
Interest chiefly surrounded Baer.
His trainer watches his every
movement in fear that his fall out
of the ring yesterday might have
injured him. But there is no trace
of ailment and probably won’t be
unless he is defeated after which
it might be a good alibi.
CHICAGO, July 2, (/Pj—Alfred
Smith was second in running thru
out and held the support of Mass
achusetts, New Jersey, Connecti
cut and Rhode Island in all four
ballots.
He lost only 11 *4 votes net be
tween the first and last roll call.
All held for Roosevelt except on
the first ballot when Traylor got
one. Washington was ready t o
switch some votes for Smith when
the landslide was started by Me
Adoo, maker of presidents.
REPUBLICANS JEER !
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 2, (£>)
—The Capital mulled over the
chances for Roosevelt to win next
November amid the jubilant Dem
ocratic claims that the gates are
now open to victory while, on the
other side, Republicans jeered, say
ing Roosevelt was in for a licking.
