Lan-don of Kansas, an overwhelming majority over any other suggested candidate for the presidency. How wide was Landon's margin of popularity is evidenced by the votes other proposed nominees drew: Knox, 28; Vandenburg, 21; Borah, 20: Dickinson, 3: Steiwer, 2. While the poll was in no way binding on the delegates who will go uninstructed to the national conclave in June, it did serve to reveal the convention's sentiment in a matter of leading interest.

Hereafter each county committee will comprise as many precinct com-mltteewomen as committeemen, and the state central committee will be composed of as many women as men in the county delegations. In an aggressive platform, unanimously ratified by the convention amid cheers, the party asserted: "The major problems confronting the nation are unemployment, the cost of government, unbalanced budgets, the threat of inflation, excessive taxation, and the restoration of agricultural and industrial prosperitv.

PLATFORM IS OUTLINED The Wyoming delegation will recommend to the national convention the adoption and furtherance of these doctrines: "We are unalterably opposed to any foreign entanglements, such as membership in the world court or the League of Nations, and oppose secret treaties with foreign countries. "We advocate cancellation of all reciprocal trade treaties and the immediate return of the tariff -making power to congress, and favor enactment of tariff legislation which will guarantee domestic markets to American farmers and manufactur-. ers. "The most serious problem before us is that of unemployment and the return of the unemployed to private industry. We believe this will come (Tan to rge 9.

CHEYENNE, May 12.JP The state supreme court ruled today against the city of Casper in the suit of W. F.

Henning, wealthy hotel owner, for $60,760.55 claimed due on improvement district bonds purchased from the city. When the bonds he purchased from the city were in default. Henning brought suit against the property owners in the improvement district. He lost this action. Then, in the words of the supreme court opinion today, "he called on the city to come into the suit to uphold the assessments, for the validity of which the city is responsible to him.

It wrongfully refused to do so." Henning then sued the city for the unpaid amount of the bonds and interest. The city demurred and District Judge Sam M. Thompson, sitting in Sheridan, sustained the demurrer. The hotel owner then appealed to the supreme court. The supreme court, in its decision today reversed the lower court and remanded the case for a new trial.

The supreme court also entered an order directing the trial court to ac-certain and fix the amount of the unpaid bonds held by Henning. It ruled that unless It is plain that the city cannot make a valid reassessment of the property, or cannot enforce the original assessment, the trial court must direct and require the city to promptly make valid reassessments or to take such steps as Dickey; icsn Tnti-cf.
