N. H. PRIMARY DELEGATE VOTE

Only He Can Release Them; 8 G. 0. P. Votes Are Unpledged. :

By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March :13.—The question of a third term was

posed directly to President Roosevelt today by New Hampshire Democrats who elected national convention delegates bound to his renomination. The State's representatives at the convention must cast seven, perhaps all eight, votes for Mr. Roosevelt until he personally releases them om that obligation. Election of the draft-Roosevelt slate further confused the political

cratic candidates for the Presidential nomination. Some of them who have insisted that Mr. Roosevelt did not really mean to run again now are turning toward belief that he may be a candidate.

More Support Expected

In any event, it appears that, the President will go into the Chicago convention which meets July 15 with the largest bloc of instructed delegates. He is expected to pick up more support in the next scheduled primary which will take place

Polls Show Dewey Popular

District Attorney Thomas E.

t | Dewey and Senator Arthur H. Van-

denberg (R., Mich.) are opposing each other for Wisconsin’s- 24 Republican national tonvention votes. Word from the Vandenberg camp is that an overwhelming victory is expected to put Mr. Dewey out of the running at the outset of the primary campaign. Mr. Dewey, however, has been shown by polls and other tests of public opinion to have widespread popular appeal. Wisconsin’s Republican primary will illuminate the question ‘whether rank-and-file popularity can be translated into convention votes. Both Senator Vandenberg and ; (R. 0), recognize Mr. Dewey as a dangerous opponent. Mr. Dewey has gone out of his way to avoid offendin “favorite son” presidential candidates, especially by passing up primary contests in states where home talent was under consideration But in neutral Wisconsin territory it appears that Senator Taft and Vandenberg have ganged up on the New Yorker under an informal agreement which kept Senator Taft out of that state and left Senator Vandenberg free to organize all of the anti-Dewey sentiment there in his own behalf. Senator Vandenberg denied the existence of any coalition against Mr. Dewey, and!; Taft managers protested the idea.

G. 0. P.s Delegates

Favor Sen. Bridges

CONCORD, N. H., March 13 (U. P.).—New Hampshire's eight delegates to the Republican national convention will be unpledged, virtually complete returns from. the nation’s first - Presidential primary showed today. Most delegates favor Senator H. Styles Bridges, a “favorite son.” The Democrats elected eight delegates at-large, with a half vote each, and two delegates from each of two districts with a full vote each. Candidates . pledged to Mr. Roosevelt won all eight of the at-large places, on the basis of returns from 246 of the state’s 294 precincts, and at least three of the four whole-vote district places.

HILLIS LAUDS SPIRIT, GOURAGE OF YOUTH

NORTH MANCHESTER, Ind, March 13.—“Courage and spirit of youth is the greatest asset of young men and women seeking to overcome the mistakes of their elders,” Glen R. Hillis of Kokomo, Republican candidate for the gubernatorial nomination, today told Manchester College students. " “The world of today is not a great deal different from that of any other period,” he said. © “You are confronted with gloomy forebodings, yes, but so was I when your age, and so was my father in his generation and my grandfather in his. “However, these carping critics always fail to take into consideration the one great asset you have —the spirit and courage of youth. That self-same spirit has carried every generation of youngsters to its goal despite the handicap of inexperience and immaturity.” :
