YELL-FOR-FUN BOYS PUT PEP IN CONVENTION Democrats Find Gusto Even in Dull Business; Not So G. 0. P. PARTY FIGURES UNIQUE Republicans Can Offer No Colorful Characters Like Rivals. | BY COURTENAY TERRETT HOUSTON, June 27,—80th the Republicans and the Democrats take their politics seriously, but the Republicans take theirs solemnly as well as seriously, whereas the Democrats, even when they’re voting a dry plank or a low tariff indorsement, manage to find a vast gusto in the proceedings. That is about the only discernible difference between the recent jdreary happenings at Kansas City, and this present perspiration-dewed A1 Smith caucus. It is, however, difference enough to compensate to some degree for the heat, the congestion and general inconvenience of this Houston feathering. j Yelling Comes Natural It may be argued that Republifcans, when they are caught in the throes of nominating the party's candidate, yell and parade and Stamp their feet, but they do it perfunctorily nevertheless. When Republicans yell, they are a bit self-conscious about it. With the Democrats yelling comes naturally. They contrived to get j moderately hoarse Tuesday after- ■ noon cheering the band and a k young lady soprano for rendering I “Dixie” and they worked up a : veritable camp meeting sweat in I applauding Claude Bowers’ key--note address. W At Kansas City the mellifluous J nothings of Senator Sim Fess. the Republican keynoter, were as enthusiastically received as if they were a platter of cold flapjacks. Nobody Like Jim Walker .' Again, when Herbert Hoover’s name was placed in nomination at Kansas City, the “demonstration” Tasted about forty minutes, and that Was in two installments, at that. It cannot be conceived that A1 Smith’s name will be cheered for less than an hour and a half. If It were, the Democrats just wouldn’t want him. On today’s program are such exfciting incidents as the report of the committee on credentials, the report of the convention on permanent organization, the permanent chairman’s address and the report of the committee on rules and order of business. ' In nj>ne of these, the casual observer would predict, would there be any excuse for hysteria, and yet it safely can be promised that before the day is out several hundred Democrats wall be voiceless and limp, _ To cite individual instances of the Variance between the parties where, it may be inquired, is a Republican prototype of the late William Jen- / nings Bryan, or even of the current J. Thomas Heflin and Congressman \Villie Upshaw’? f Republicanism has no one like the Hon. James J. Walker, commander of the order of St. Moritz and St. Lazarius of the kingdom of Italy, and absentee mayor of New York. ' Wants a Bit of Life It has its prototypes of “Boss” Dlvany and John W. Davis and James M. Cox and Tom Taggart, but where are its Josephus Daniels and its Jim Reeds? These distinctions are attractive, kiot only to the hard-working press men who have to find something to write about, but to the rugged fcitizenry as w r ell. Such a one is Edgar C. Towle, convention visitor, w’ho is a dry, a protestant, and a Republican, but an A1 Smith man, none the less. Towle, an embittered agriculturist from southern Ohio, already has chosen Smith as the man he shall vote for in November. He has come here, therefore, with his wife to gee his candidate nominated. His life has been one filled with hard wor k_ a life of dull and dreary laid out along the lines Republican righteousness. “I want to see some hell poppin’."

Ringing Call to Arms Sounded by Bowers in His Keynote Address BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent CONVENTION HALL, HOUSTON, June 27.—A call to arms for a war of extermination against the Republican “plunderbund,” the “Black Horse cavalry of privilege and pillage,” was sounded last night by Claude G. Bowers in the keynote speech of the Democratic national convention. The militant editor from Indiana and New York in a speech studded with bitter phrases, charged the Republican party and Administration with responsibility for oil scandals, Hamiltonian federalism in government, fake prosperity, mythical economy and mythical men. He declared the United States’ foreign policy, “which has made us the most distrusted and unpopular Nation on the gLl>e.”

Devoting most of his speech to the attack on the party in power, Bowers summoned the Democratic hosts to fight united.

Corruption Is Blasted

He pleaded also for the* support of “independent and progressives” in his party’s battle for “popular government.” “We march against that centralization which threatens the liberties of our people,” he said. “We battle for the honor of the Nation, besmirched and bedraggled by the most brazen and shameless carnival of corruption that ever blackened the reputation of a decent and self-respecting' people. “For forty years the party in power has conjured with the name of Lincoln while following the leadership of Hamilton; now, after eight years of successful privilege and pillage, it throws off the Lincolnian mask. “It could hardly keep the Lincoln mask on its face and Sinclair’s money in its chest. At Kansas City, where they dramatized the issue, it was not Lincoln, but Hamilton, who rode at the head of the procession.” Bowers praised Woodrow Wilson as a majestic figure, denounced the Harding-Coolidge regime as “privilege enthroned,” assailed the Republicans for kicking out of court the farmers’ plea for relief, and defended the Democratic party as a friend to business. He adverted repeatedly to the topic or corruption, dwelling on the Little Green House on K St., in Washington, where the DaughertyJess Smith group used to meet, and praising Senator Thomas J. Walsh, the Teapot Dome committee prosecutor.

Parades Sinclair Skeleton

“No Harry Sinclair has paid our debt,” he said. “We are free. We unfurl the Jeffersonian banner bearing Jeffersons device, ‘A good government is an honest government,’ and we invite all enemies of corruption to fight with us beneath the folds for the redemption of the violated honor of the republic. “Now they hope to drug the conscience of the nation with the doped soothing syrup of a fake prosperity. . . Four million jobless men is not prosperity; a million abandoned farms is not prosperity; the failure of 4,000 banks in the seven years of normalcy is not prosperity. “If this year’s record is foreshadowed by the first four months, there will be 28,000 commercial failures in 1928.” The Republicans, Bowers said, found the United States in 1920 “enjoying the moral leadership of all mankind, and they have made us the most distrusted and unpopular nation.” He denounced the Nicaraguan conflict as a “petty war” caused by stupidity. “Now we propose to end dollar diplomacy in Latin-America in the interest of justice; but we propose it, too, in the interest of American business. . . We can not write a bill of sale with a mailed fist. We can not match a marine with with a musket against a British or German salesman with a smile.”

Wilson Is Eulogized

Bowers’ praise of Wilson and his regime came early in his speech. “The brilliant record of our eight years of power is as a splotch of glorious sunshine against the smutty background of eight years of privilege and crime. v “In those eight years we wrote more progressive and constructive measures into law than had been written by the opposition in forty years of power. . . . “Those eight years gave another immortal to the skies. He lifted the people to such heights of moral grandeur as they had never known before; and his name and purpose made hearts beat faster in lowly places where his pride was sung in every language of the world. . . . “We submit that a party that

stands for that democracy which is inseparable from the liberties of men, and has given a Jefferson, a Jackson and a Wilson to the service of mankind has earned the right in times like these to the cooperation of independents and progressives in the struggle for the preservation of popualr government, and the purging of the nation of that corruption which has made America a by-word and a hissing in the very alleys of the world. . . .

Sounds Liberty Call

“We are mobilized to lead the people back to the old paths of constitutional liberty, and to the good way. “We are going back—back to the old landmarks of liberty and equality when ordinary men had rights that even power respected; when justice, not privilege, was the watchword of the State. “Never in a century has there been such a call to us to battle for the faith of our fathers as there is today; and never has the control of Government been so completely concentrated in the hands of a ruling caste as now. “The Hamiltonians wanted organized wealth in possession of the Government—and we have it. They wanted the sovereign rights of States denied—and we have it. They wanted Government made profitable to the powerful—and we hafe it. They wanted, through administration, to make a mockery of democracy—and we have it.

Face Arrogant Foe

“The Hamiltonian State is necessarily a temple of gold resting on the bowed backs of peasants in other people's fields—and we almost have that now. They would deify dollars and minimize men, limit self-government and centralized power, cripple democracy, empower bureaucracy, welcome plutocracy—and we will soon have that t 00... “We face a foe grown arrogant with success. It were infamy to permit the enemy to divide us, or divert us, on the eve of such a battle. “From the grave at the Hermitage (Jackson's home), comes the solemn warning that no party ever won or deserved to win that did not organize and fight unitedly for victory,—and we shall thus organize and fight.

Cause Declared Just

“The very precinct committeemen and the district captains become minute men of liberty in the reassertion of the principles of freedom. “We shall win because our cause is just. “The predatory forces before us are led by money-mad cynics nd scoffers —and we go forth to battle for the cause of man. “In the presence of such a foe ‘he who dallies is a dastard and he who doubts is damned.’ In this connection we close debate and grasp the sword. \ “The time has come. The battle hour has struck. Then to your tents, O, Israel!”

SMITH AIDS TO OPEN DRIVE BY TOURS OF U.S. Battle Royal Looms as Both Parties Prepare for Campaign. WAGNER GOING SOUTH * ‘Good Will’ Is Object; Mayor Walker Plans Trip to Coast. BY RAY TUCKER HOUSTON, June 27.—When Herbert Hoover and A1 Smith clash in the presidentiaj campaign, the Nation will witness a battle between two of the most efficient political organiations in American history. On the one side will be the national Republican organization, with such an organizing genius as Hoover directing it. On the other will be a revivified and hopeful Democratic party, with Tammatny Hall furnishing the driving power and Smith an acknowledged master of practical politics, providing the brains. Wagner to Tour The Democrats know that the silence which now shrouds the Republican candidates’ plans portends intense activity, once the real campaign for votes has been started. So they in their turn will let no Texas prairie grass grow under their feet as they sally forth to battle. As soon as the gavel drops Friday night, with Smith as the nominee, Tommany’s scouts and missionaries will scatter North, East, Wast and South in their effort to sell A1 Smith to the Nation as they have sold him to the people of New York. There may be no public meetings or physical campaigning or oratory, but contacts will be established and a nation-wide organization will be in the making. Senator Robert F. Wagner, who acted as Smith’s spokesman in the Senate and here, will make a tour through the South on his way back to New York. He expects to visit almost every State of the solid South, and most of its principal cities. The Senator who has an engaging personality, says he does not intend to talk Smith or politics—publicly. He points out that he is fairly new member of the Senate, and now that he has the opportunity, he wants to learn and understand the problems of other parts of the nation, particularly the South. But he does not deny that he will act as a messenger of good will for Smith. Walker Will go West Mayor Walker of New York, whom the South and Southwest already know, will flit to the Pacific Coast, visiting Los Angeles and San Francisco. Charles W. Culken, New York county sheriff, who has many friends in the Northwest, will head a party into that territory. Many Tammany members of Congress will stop off at various cities through the Middle West, accepting invitations from their colleagues in Congress.

MOBS JAM HOTEL, CENTER OF PARLEY

BY C. J. LILLEY HOUSTON, Tex., June 27.—Houston made one mistake in arranging the Democratic national convention and its mayor and others In charge admit It. Most delegation caucus rooms were allotted in the Rice Hotel and delegates from other hotels plus capacity crowds of visitors and Houston citizens, have been flocking into the Rice. The result has been overtaxed elevator service, long delays, inconHEFLIN STAYS AWAY Delegates Are Surprised at Absence. Ba United Press HOUSTON, Texas. June 27.—The continued absence of Senator Heflin is causing surprise among delegates. Heflin had announced he would hire a hall here- and set up an opposition camp to Al Smith. A telegram to the Alabama delegtaion, read at Tuesday’s caucus is the only word from Heflin, and in it he did not mention coming to Houston. The Senator reiterated charges made aganist Smith and Catholics on the Senate floor, predicted Smith’s defeat if he is nominated, and urged the Alabama delegation to hold against the New Yorker to the end.

A THOUSAND people jammed the lobby like flies on a sheet of yesterday’s Tanglefoot. I finally reached the street, and discovered I had rode out on a midget’s shoulders, egad. He was trapped in an attempt to go through my bowlegs when they straightened up. Great Caesar Al, has anyone In Albany told you yet that it is a nine block walk to your convention hall? Yes, nine blocks, by Jove. So give that a thought when you tune in oiv the radio from your front porch swing.

JONES TO GET TEXAS VOTES No Protest at Decision to Reward Millionaire. By Times Special HOUSTON, Texas, June 27. Jesse H. Jones, the man who brought the Democratic convention to Houston, will get his reward by hearing his name presented as Texasj candidate for President. The placing of Jones’ name before the convention has caused little concern among Governor Al Smith’s supporters. No attempt to block his candidacy, or to interfere with his receiving forty votes of Texas has been made at the State caucus, although there are several Smith men on the delegation. The only real opposition to the Jones candidacy has come from Will Hogg, the other of Houston's two richest multimillionaires.

venlence, much cussing among delegates and a near tragedy. One angry Tqxan, aroused by seeing half a dozen elevators pass his floor without stopping, pulled a revolver and shot holes in the elevator door. Delegation caucuses were held under conditions that caused surprise that there were no heat prostrations. Several hundred persons were jammed into an ordinary hotel room. Many scheduled fights were laid aside where delegates were anxious to get to more livable atmosphere. The Rice Hotel lobby has been so jammed with visitors and local citizens that passage back and forth has been almost impossible. The mezzanine floor has been even worse, because Smith and Reed headquarters, as well as those of native son candidates have been there. Only one stairway leads to the mezzanine.

Personality Dear to Man in Street; Record Added Asset. BY WILL DURANT This is Houston—lovely and lovable, brilliant with sunshine, architecturally handsome, leisurely active, courteous and uncomfortable, with a library that rivals New York’s and a temperature that rivals hell. The streets are vivid with bunting, noisy with bands and almost covered with parades. Houston is a perfect host. It receives the delegates with cordial and quiet hospitality. Yet our coming is quite useless, for here, too, the convention is over before it has begun. Smith is nominated before a vote is cast, and that item settled, it does not matter what the platform says. v Close to Masses What sort of man is it that has captured all these delegates and united a shattered party, without stirring from his desk? There is something irresistible in him—a jwrsonality whose color and lure make Hoover seem infinitely remote, impossible for the common people to understand or love. What is the secret of this popularity? There are many elements in it but beneath them all is the fact that Governor Smith is not so different from the average man, either in character or name, but that affection can mount to him. People will admire Hoover, but their hearts will be far from him. They will sing “Al’s my pal,” but not even a college cheer leader wii! persuade them to sing about the man who wishes to bring science into Government. They will call Smith by his first syllable, and it will be difficult not to vote for a man with whom one is so friendly. That first name will be worth half a million votes, and even the last name should bring a hundred thousand. Outgrows Machine Millions more will go to Smith because he symbolizes perfectly the ultimate dream, in every American heart, of rising from poverty to honor and power. Many men have risen from poverty to greatness. What stands out here is the spectacle of a man coming from politics to statesmanship through all the mire of machine subserviency. See him at the beginning of his career, supplying speeches on demand for any Tammany candidate. "He could be counted on to take orders,” says a sympathetic biographer. In 1904 he is rewarded with •& nomination to the Assembly, and there he serves the organization “so faithfully that all the liberal press denounce him. and the Citizens’ Union blacklist him as having “on most important issues of importance stood against the public interest.” He “shows not the slightest evidence of independence.” He understands that independence is no open sesame to public office. So it goes for eighteen years, as assemblyman. sheriff. Senator and Governor. Then suddenly in 1922, he revolts. He Ignores all considerations of expediency, stands his ground and wins. This is the birth of the second Al Smith, the metamorphosis of the politician into a man trying to be a statesman. Clarifies Complexities From that moment the organization becomes as secondary in his administration as the husband in a modern family. He forgets everything but his work; becomes so in-

dress. Ir fact, to show the true spirit of Southern hospitality, he said he wanted us all to feel that we could walk right out Into the kitchen anytime for a piece of cake and a cup of tea. Hm-m as much as I like cake, it is too warm here for tea. Yes, um-m-m. 000 17 GAD, Alfred, this is the point I am leading to- It is obvious that you will get the nomination. Yes, I am certain of It. In fact, as the saying goes, you will win in a walk.

GLASS BATTLES ELEVATOR MAN \ Fiery Senator Uses Fists to Win Ride. Bn Times Special HOUSTON, Texas. June 27.—Carter Glass, scrappy senior Virginia Senator, already has enlivened his stay in Houston by a fist fight, and according to those present, including Democratic National Committeeman John Barnett of Colorado, it was a clean-cut victory for the Virginia statesman. Glass’ opponent, according to Barnett, was the elevator starter in the Jammed Rice Hotel, a lightweight about the same build as the Virginia Senator. The elevator starter decreed that Glass should not board an elevator he had chosen. According to Barnett, Glass decided otherwise, and with characteristic vigor “lit” into the starter, and quickly fought his way aboard the elevator he had chosen. Glass’ last noticeable encounter was in the United States chamber when, according to a number of Senators present, he expressed his willingness to step out of the lightweight division and tackle heavyweight Senator Wheeler, fellow Democrat from Montana.

MRS. ROSS TO MAKE SPEECH SECONDING AL Ex-Governor Predicts Day When Woman Will Be President. TERSE, CRISP TALKER New Yorker Is Choice of Nation in Opinion of Wyoming Leader. BY LECTA DENHAM RIDER United Press Special Correspondent HOUSTON. June 27. —Nellie Taylor Ross, former Governor of Wyoming and national committee woman-elect from that State, will deliver one of the seconding speeches for Governor Alfred E. Smith. Also she brings into the convention the support of several western States for her nomination as vice president. “The nomination of Governor Smith unquestionably Is settled,” Mrs. Ross said Tuesday night. “The Democrats see the handwriting on the wall that Smith is the choice of the nation. And I tnink the Republicans see he is the choice of the majority of their party, as well.” Predicts Woman President The former Governor of Wyoming is distinctly feminine. She chooses her words carefully. She speaks in crisp, terse sentences. She knows what she wishes to say and says It well. There was nothing incongruous about the picture she presented at the Rice Hotel, when, in dainty pink negligee, she reeled off profound political dogma. “A woman president,” declared the former Governor, “is a development the future will bring, although we may not live to see that day. “Women have demonstrated in so many lines of endeavor their ability to endure under pressure that it is logical that a woman should succeed to the highest office of the land. “Whether she can at the same time be a good wife and mother depends entirely upon the woman, her temperament and qualifications. Many women have better mental capacity and physical endurance than many men who have gone to the White House.” Mrs. Ross is the mother of three boys. She told proudly of her youngest son, Bradford, who Is a page in the convention. He is 15. The woman Governor, who went into office a very short time before Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson became Governor of Texas, has been assured by a number of States of their support for the vice presidential nomination. “Post Needs Showman” Wyoming, her own State, comes to the convention Instructed for Its former Governor. “Such a demonstration of confidence on the part of ray own State is most generous,” Mrs. Ross said in connection with the possible nomination. She added that the support of still other delegations is intensely gratifying in view of her ardent support of the Smith campaign. “What the White House needs now is a little more of the human element,” in the opinion of Mrs. Ross. “A little more of showmanship, of genuine humanity, in contrast to the machine. “Everyone realizes Governor Smith is the popular choice. And everyone knows just where he stands. They know his head is clear and his heart is right.”
