SENA TORS AGAINST M'NINCU Bailey and Reynolds Point Out He Bolted Presiden tial Ticket in '28 Washington, June 14. ? Sena tor Batley said tonight: 'If Frank McNinch Is nominat ed for chalrmaa of the Federal Power Commission, I will oppose his Confirmation. I opposed him two years ago and see no reason why 1 should change now. My reason's for opposing him were stated at that time and I have not changed. Therefore, if the President send6 his name to the, Senate I shall vote against him.'t Senator Reynolds said: "McNinch bolted the Democrat ic candidate in 1928 and fought the party. Therefore, 1 am op posed to him and if his nomina tion is sent to the Senate I shall vote to reject him." Senator Morrison, who voted for McNinch's confirmation when his nomination was sent to the Senate by President Hoover, was , defeated by Mr. Reynolds, and It is said by leading Democrats that his support of McNinch lost him 100,000 votes in the State. McNinch is said to be very strong with the administration and therd seems little doubt now that he will succeed to the chair manship of the Federal Power Commission. If the President Dominates him the Senate will most likely confirm him despite the opposition of the two Sena tors from the State, as Progres sive Republicans and other Dem ocrats will support him. .
