ROOSEVELT SUPPORT GROWS
AS BORAH. KNOX, & LANDON
LEADING IN REPUBLICAN RACE
By BYRON PRICE
(Chief of Bureau, The As
sociated Press, Wash)
Early-bird delegate selec
tions for the national poli
tical conventions have de
veloped few surprises.
Roosevelt remains virtual
ly alone in the field of De
mocratic candidates having
visible support. Sen.Borah,
Knox and Landon continue
to lead the Republican pro
cession, followed by an in
teresting line of dark hor
ses.
The Democratic question
now is whether any appre
ciable strength at all will
muster behind any Demo
cratic candidate against the
President. If anything, the
early primaries have encou
raged the Roosevelt leaders
to strengthen their predic
tions that the renomination
will be voted almost by ac
claimation.
For the Republicans, the
critical months will be Ap
ril and May. The June 9th
convention may be just a
round the corner before the
situation is much cleare!'
than it is today.
Presidents’ Hard To Beat
The overwhelming Roose
velt trend of Democratic
pre-convention politics is
hardly regarded as news by
those experienced politici
ans who know how hard it
is to stop the renomination
of any President.
At Democratic headquar
ters, the Roosevelt lop-sid
ed victory in the first Geor
gia counties to vote was
spoken of as merely con
firming that Governor Tal
madge will get nowhere
with his candidacy, even in
his own state.
The “bandwagon” impres
sion is further deepened by
the selection of Roosevelt
instructed delegates in the
New Hampshire primary,
by indications that the anti
Roosevelt delegate effort in

Col. Henry Breckinridge

ing of lack of cooperation
from anti-Roosevelt Demo
crats.
Land on Boom Grows.
The swift-blooming Repub
lican boom for Governor
Landon makes headlines
daily in many states. It is
quite evident his friends
are counting heavily on sup
port from the uninstructed
delegations which many of
the old-line party leaders
want to elect from east,
west and south.
It is also apparent, how
ever, that the supporters of
Colonel Knox, who have
been at work more quietly
for months, believe they
have cause for hope from
these same uninstructed
delegations. Thus a strug
gle of unsuspected ferocity
is developing under the sur
face, and there is no sign it
will cease before conven
tion time.
Meanwhile Senator Borah
