It Pays SMITH SAYS HE FAVORS CHANGES IN PROHIBITION

(CONITNVBm nrv PA«K TWr»» will of the people of this nation that I am to take an oath as president of the United States to defend and protect our constitution, I will do so without reservations or evasions. “It is well known that I believe there should be fundamental changes in the present provisions for national prohibition, based, as I have stated in my Jackson Day letter, on the fearless application to the problem of principles of Jefferson Democracy. While I fully appreciate that these changes can only be made by the people through their elected legislative representatives. I feel it the duty of the chosen leader of the people to point the way which in his opinion leads to a sane, sensible solution of a condition which I am convinced is entirely unsatisfactory to the great mass of our people.” — o FARM LEADERS ARE SATISFIED (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) nefited by such assistance.” Senator Pittman of Nevada, chairman of the resolutions committee, in terpreted the plank to permit adoption of farm relief ether than by use of the equalization fee. o Three Men Executed For Murder In Oklahoma McAlester, Okla., June 29 —(U.P) — Three men two of them negroes, calmly met death penalty fro murder here today in Oklahoma's first triple execution.

I GOV. ALFRED E. SMITH, OF NEW YORK AND SEN. J. T. ROBINSON iCONTfjri’EO FROM l’4«.E «»NE> were other candidates, of course, some of them prominent but the sturdy Arkansas battler seemed to have the most support. Veteraas of San Francisco 'and York could scarcely believe their eyes when they saw a Democratic platform adopted in open convention without a minority report even being offered on the floor within less than two hours after its presentation. And without a roll call vote. Hardly could they believe their arithmetic when their pencils told them that Al Smith, admittedly wet. a pillar of Tammany and a Catholic to boot, was nominal ed on the first ballot with 849 2-3 out of a possible 1,100 votes. Not even the most enthusiastic and radical supporter o< Governor Smith had expected any more than that, nor had the wildest of the Smith people anticipated the spectacle of southern states seeking to change their votes befiore the final result could be announced, seeking foothold on a Tammany band wagon. All Standards In Parade In the end, all of the state standards from southern states were found in the aisles marching behind those from the north and west and with many of the southern delegations in step. For example, the final records will show that 23 of Tennessee's 24 votes were cast for Smith on the first ballot. And half of Mississippi's. There were some die-hards among the southern states, of course. Texas. Alabama. Georgia, the two Carolinas. Florida, were recorded as casting no votes for Smith, for the traditional motion to make the nomination of the New York governor unanimous was not offered. Tammany leaders apparently didn’t care to push their luck too far. Demonstration Lasts Long It was a memorable night in Democratic history—and some of the Democrats didn't get through commemorating it until the sun was peeping this morning over the jack rabbit counties, of West Texas. The Smith people celebrated because “Al was in" after eight long years of effort; the anti-Smith people made what the Texans call “whoopee’ because they lost. Bet in losing have been convinced by northern talk that they have a chance of winning in November. It started a few minutes before midnight when Sen. Joe Robinson boomed out the final vote on the first ballot; the tempo increased when John W. Davis, the 1924 standard bearer, stood before the convention and declared: "In unity there is strength; the order is forward march.” Reed Pledges Support It reached crescendo proportions when the sardonic, satiric “Jim” Reed, of Missouri, smiling through his disappointment, faced the convention which had refused him, pledged his support to the ticket and in a characteristic speech denounced Herbert Hoover as “a renegade American” and sarcastically invited the movie magnates to “reinstate Fatty Arbuckle so he could fire Wiil Hays,” He stood there, the silver haired fiery Missourian, a loser at 69, but he faced it smilingly and with a plea for harmony. He had bitter words—but they were for Republicans, not Democrats. My fingers," he said, “have never scratched a Democratic ticket. Since 1 was 18 I supported the Democratic ticket in every campaign. I voted for men who have been my personal enemies. I have supported p!®tforms that were not my liking. ; call upon every Democrat in the United States, and I shall continue to call upon every Democrat until the last vote is counted on election day. to support the ticket.” And then after half an hour of excoriating the Republicans: “Yonder is the enemy. Let Democrats marshal to the fray.” Prohibition Fight Fizzles Out The fight over prohibition largley fizzled out in the final analysis. It had been the rock upon which it was predicted the convention would split—if it was to split at all. In 31 words the prohibition issue was disposed of. They were these: “This convention pledges the party and its nominees to an honest effort to enforce the eighteenth amendment and all other provisions of the federal constitution and all laws enacted pursuant thereto." The drys were satisfied because it | commits Governor Smith to rigid eu-

nceded at the conclusion of the roll forcemeat of the law by name; the wets were satisfied because it does not prevent the governor, in the event of his election, from recommending modification of the law. Such divergent opinions as Gov. Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland and Senator Carter Glass of Virginia were reconciled on this point, and both assured the convention of it. Smith Men Satisfied The Smith people perhaps were better satisfied of the two. “Governor Smith's views on prohibition are well known," said one of his leaders today. “He is opposed to the present status of prohibition. He has his own platform on this point, irrespective of what the platform deciares. Os course, he stands for taw enforcement. All public officials do.” They were pleased because they believe the dry Democrats will look at the platform and be satisfied; they were pleased b<wauj>e tlhey believe the wets, both Democrats and Republicans, will look at Governor Smith and vote for him. For a little while after the official report confirmed the nomination of Smith, the scene in the convention hall was reminiscent of Madison Square Garden in one of its wild moments. The aisles were filled with hysterical people, marching, sweating, yelling. in a delirium of political and emotional ecstacy. All the state standards were swept into the whirlpool of Smith enthusiasm; three bands came down from the galleries and tooted into the show with the inevitable “Sidewalks of New York”; a blonde cowgirl rode an “old gray mare” through the perspiring mass of humanity; a man dragged a tiny burno into the arena. They made of it an unforgettable spectacle, a sort of combined circus, county fair, carnival and riot. Tiie riot part was furnished by the luarreiing of some of the southern delegates, Mississippi, Tennessee. Oklahoma, in the first two there were scuffles that approached the edge of fights/ and the alert Texas cops dashed into the rescue. The official history won't record it, but when the roil call ended Governor Smith was barely short of the nomination. He had 724 2-3 votes, as against the 733 2-3 necessary to nominate. Ohio, which had cast her 48 votes for Atlde Pomerene on the first ballot, had an agreement with tiie Tammany leaders that if Ohio votes were needed they would be. forthcoming befoie the result could bo announced.

Scarcely had Big Pat Haltigan called and recorded two votes for Smith in the Virgin Islands than Ohio came to the front. Forty-five of the Buckeye state's 48 votes were switched immediately and this sent Smith across with votes to spare. But the band wagon was already rumbling. Half a dozen states, Indiana included, wanted to follow the Ohio example and it took half an hour for them all to get aboard. Al Smith is in tiie driver's seat. Where he is going cannot be determined until the first Tuesday after the first Monday of next November. To Start Plans Soon Houston, Tex., June 29 —(INS) —Nominated for the presidency at one of the most impressive love feasts the Democratic party ever has had, Gov. Al Smith of New York is slated to lay the groundwork for an aggressive campaign at a meeting with thirty members of the national committee in a room at the Biltmore hotel, New York City, next Thursday. Unless there are some unexpected developments, indications were that the New York executive will dictate the selection of Sen. Peter Goelet Gerry of Rhode Island, as chairman of the iiemocratic national committee to succeed Clem Shaver of Virginia. o Mr. and Mrs. Herman Myers were Thursday and Friday visitors at Indianapolis.
