M. (Sandy) Keith says he would not be contesting for the Democratic Farmer labor nomination for governor without the blessing of Vice President Hubert Humphrey. Keith, the DFL-endorsed candidate against Gov. Karl Rolvaag. said Monday he had talked with Humphrey last December about the possibility of try- ing to win the endorsement away from Rolvaag in the state convention.

Keith said he asked Humphrey if he should seek delegate support. "He told me to go ahead. Ke said 'I can't support you but I know you ought to do it'." Keith told newsmen he would have pulled out of the race if Humphrey had so advised. Keith spoke at ceremonies opening the 4th District DFL campaign office in downtown St. Paul.

Rolvaag has enjoyed A groundswell of sympathetic. support following Keith's convention June, although both candidales appear at limes to be claiming the underdog role. I Keith told his followers that he trails Rolvaag in Ramsey County, a DFL stronghold, but the situation "isn't as critical as you may think." He said the DFL will lose Republicans in November unless the endarsed ticket wins in the primary. Followers of Rolvaag and other party mavericks have filed against the endorsed ticket led by Keith in the Sept. 13 primary.

Only one of the cight endorsed candidates has no primary opposition. Humphrey stayed out of the Rolvaag Keith fight in the state convention but said later he supports ali endorsed candidates, including Keith. The Vice President said he will not take part in the primary campaign, however, Keith also was supported Monday by St. Paul Mayor Thomas Byrne.
