DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT TUESDAY, JUNE 26, 1928.

"probable Result Os 1 First Democratic Ballot | Houston, Tex., June 26—(INS)—Conferences uml caucuses among the various delegations comprising the Democratic national convention indicated today, as the convention open- ; t’d, that the first ballot on the presidency will be apiwoalmately as follows: Smith Anti-Smith Alabama ... 24 Arizona g Arkansas is California 26 Colorado 8 4 • Connecticut ... 14 Delaware 6 • Florida ... 12 Georgia 28 (George) Idaho 8 Illinois 5g 2 Intliana 30 (Woollen) lowa 26 Kansas ofl (Ayres) Kentucky .. 26 . Louisiana 20 Maine 12 Maryland .... 16 Massachusetts, 36 Michigan ... 30 . Minnesota 24 Mississippi 20 (Harrison) ' Missouri 36 (Reed) Montana 8 Nebraska 16 (flitchcock) 1 Nevada 6 New Hampshire 8 ‘ New Jersey 28 New Mexico 6 ■ New York .. 90 1 North Carolina 24 ! North Dakota... 10 1 ®hio 48 (Pomerene) ' Okahoma 20 1 Oregon 10 Pennsylvania ... 66 10 ; Rhode Island . 10 South Carolina 18 (Watts) South Dakota . 10 Tennessee 24 (Hull) Texas 40 (Jones) Utah .71 Vermont 8 Virginia 24 Washington 14 West Virginia 10 6 Wisconsin . 26 Wyoming . 6 ' Territories . 38 Totals . 713 387 (Necessary to nominate 734.) From this table it will be seen that the withdrawal of any of the favorite sons such as Pomerene, Woollen or Ayres, with the consequent release 1 of their delegates, would probably result in a first ballot nomination for Governor Smith. Subsequent agreements and ’Switches" may change this table before Thursday but as of today it is ' substantially as outlined above. CONVENTION CHATTER Mouston, June 26 —(U.R) ~ Horned toads, cactus and whatnot have been gathered by curio dealers for edification of the visiting delegates. Tlte convention coliseum involved an expense of more titan $175.0(H). Houston already had an auditorium but patty leaders decided larger quarters were necessary. Perhaps in honor of Will Rogers a rodeo show is being held here this week. M re than 600 newspaper men will cover the convention. ’ Most of them also were at Kansas City. Houston promises a bed ami a meal for all. Every house and eating place has been catalogued Ity the committee on arrangements. Tlte city lias dressed tip for the convention not only with flags and bunting. Main Boulevard is now a White Way with hundreds of new high tension lamps on gold-painted standards If the delegates are bored by the coliseum hapitenings they can go to Htdfalo Stadium, erected at a cost of 8.500,000 anti said to be Hie finest minor league baseball park in the country. Tlte Texas League schedule is so arranged that tlte Buffaloes will play uti the home grounds this week / A fleet of planes will be kept tuned up at the Houston Airport to offer visiters quick transportation to and from nearby cities. The delegates have a constant reminder of form problems. Near the coliseum is a huge farm-market, headquarters for hundreds of Texas farmers who ’ flivver’’ in daily. An auto toittists' camp Is located in Memorial Park, which is the new name tor what, during tlte war, was Camp Logan. Eight thoqpand cape jasmine buds, the kind that made famous Alvin. Tex., as a “raw" perfumery center, will be pinned to coat lapels. Pretty girls—and Houston has 'em—will do the pinning. o The Rev. and Mrs. A. R. Fledderjohann and daughter, Virginia, and Hie Rev. and Mrs. Harry W. Thompson motored to Warsaw, Monday, where they were guests for the day of Mr. and Mrs. Landis, former parishioners of Rev. Fledderjoliann at Linton, Indiana. During the afternoon, the ' men of the party enjoyed a round of I golf, with the result that Rev. Fledj derjohauu made the 18 holes in 96.

BLAST KILLS FIVE PERSUNS Plant Os Fireworks Company In Thompsonville, Conn., Is Destroyed Thompsonville, Conn., June 26 (INS) —Five persons were killed, three of them children who were visiting there, when an explosion razed the plant of tint New England fireworks company, on Brainard road in the western outskirts of the town today None of tiie victims had been identified positively, some hours after tiie explosion Their bodies weie blown to pieces by tlte force of tiie explosion. COMPROMISE IS WORKED OUT BY WETS AND DRYS (CONTINUIED FROM I’AUM ONK) the United I’ress is •'nformed. Extreme Drys Fight On Tiie extreme drys were not consulted about the urr.ingement and decided in a midnight conference to continue their tight for the strongest t prohibition plank ever written Ity a national party. This conference was held in the office of Jesse Jones, Houston millionaire host of tiie convention, and was attended by Josephus Daniels, former secretary ot the navy, Houston Thompson, former inemlu-r of the federal trade 1 couimission; Gov. I>an Moody of Texas, who has undertaken leadership of the dry cause; Daniel Roper, for mor McAdoo supporter and George Fort Milton, publicity man for the McAdoo forces in 1924. The coiiterees decided to present their extreme dry planks to the plat•forni committee despite tiie agreement of tlte moderates with the Smith people. They want to name the 18th amendment and the Volstead act. they also decided to contest the Smith nomination to tiie last ballot. Tiieir decision, however, means nothing more than that they are going through with their fight, for tlte present anyway. if they even go through to tiie convention floor witli t their contest, they will face an aliij ance of the moderate drys and Smith P forces v itich v.ill control about four- , fifths of the voting power of the con- . ve.ttion. r Ute ‘‘majority plank - ’ is understood to have originated with Senator CarI awr.f, of Arkansas. He is an ardent . try as is his colleague, Senator Roh--5 iitson. But they, as well as the other members of this group, believe prohibition is not and should not be Hie dominant issue. The proposed compromise was pronounced' acceptable by George It. Van Nar.iee, Smith's campaign manager ami tiie word went forth that for I tiie first time since 1916, delegates 1 to :i Democratic national convention . were to as>cmble in a spirit of almost c< mplete harmony. Five imohihiticn planks are to lie 1 submitted to tiie platform committee. - One from Moody, one from Daniels, I one from Hie united dry organizu ions here, one from Caraway ami the itmprondso plank which probably will be offered by Pittman. 1 If the die hards decide to, they can i present a minority report to file convention They are represented on lite committee by Daniels and Moody. 1 Little disagreement is expected in > tint committee on the other planks. Several farm planks are to lie submitted but leaders appear to lie in 1 general accord that tiie party should endorse the theory of systematic distribution of surplus crops and at tiie same time denounce dircet governim n’ subsi'ltaries —the theory upon which 'lie McNary-Haugen farm bill was founded. The conimittoe will be named officially us soon as the temporary ’ organization of the convention is completed this afternoon. The platform probably will bo ready for pre- ’ scntation to the convention tomorrow.
