LL_ DEMOCRATS NAME SMITMOBINSON Prohibition, Farm Aid, Hon esty in Office, Important Platform Planks. For President ALFRED E. SMITH For Vice President JOSEPH T. ROBINSON By WRIGHT A. PATTER80N. Convention Hall, Houston.?In the words of Will Rogers the national f Democracy met In Houston to nom inate a candidate for vice president. Of course, there was the small for mality of ratifying the nomination of the Presidential candidate, and the ticket named was: Gov. Alfred E. Smith, of New Tork, nominated for President on the first ballot. Joseph T. Robinson, of Arkansas, nominated for vice president on the first ballot. Aside from the naming of a ticket there was much discussion and long hours of argument over the things which they "viewed with alarm." In the end a platform was adopted, and the following Is a summary of its more Important planks: The prohibition plank, a compromise between the extreme wets and extreme drys, "viewed with alarm" the law en forcement of the Eighteenth amend ment on the part of the Republican ? Alfred E. Smith ndmlnlstrnllon,, and'promised n strict enforcement of that and all other laws. J On the subject of fnrni relief tfie It publicans were condemned for fail ure to puss suitable legislation. And ? the farmers were promised speedy re lief by the Democratic parly, but without specifying Just what form the relief.should take. Burning denuncia tion was burled at Repuhllcnn cor ruption In office/ and a promise to seek out all evil doers when a Dein t , oeratic President has been Inaugurat ed. These were tbe tbree Important sub jects covered by the platform adopt ed Thursday night. Other plu'nks cov ered the usual things found In politi cal platforms, nnd In much the usual way. Tbe one plank on which there wus any serious discussion was that regarding tbe enforcement of the pro hibltory laws, and tbe drys had at tempted to write Into It an approval of the Eighteenth amendment, but without success, Senator Ueorge, of Georgia, wat the first name filuced before the conven tion, followed by . demonstration led by Ceorgt? and Joined In by Florida. North and South Carolina, Alabama nnd Nebraska. Governor 8tMllh'f name was second, nnd the banners of more than 40 states and territories Joined In the procession lhAt '?Mowed i the close off Franklin Roosevelt's ad dress. 'V The feature of tbe Smith demon stration was the parking of the state ban.icrs around the box occupied by Airs. Smith and Iter son nnd dnugh tor. Kvuni Woollen received a dem onstration on the -part of tbe Indiana delegation. Other nominating aiteeches were postponed until Thursday morn i?g- At that session there was pre sented the names of Cordeh Unit, of Tennessee, Senator Jnmes lleed, of Missouri, former Senator Pomerene. of Ohio. Congressman William Ayrea of Kansas, former Senator Hitchcock, of Nehraika, Houston Thompson, of Colorado, and Jesse E. Jones of Texas Each of them received demonstrations staged by thtlr own states, and In some cases by portions of delegations from other stales. Jesse E Jones was specially favored, practically all the delegations Joining la a tribute to tbe popular boat of the convention. Che most unuaqaj feature of tbe ' -S*'' ?">. ?? A ? r'v ..V . ? ' demonstration was the parmie through the great hall of a Texan cow-hoy bant], led by a pretty cowgirl mounted on a gray librae. Wher. the Show Opened. The big show opened promptly Tues day noon with a brief session that disposed of a number of formalities. Following the Invocation by Bishop Hay, of the Methodist church South, and a rendition of "The Star Spnngled Banner," ?"America." and "Dixie." by Miss Mqlvlnn I'liumure, of Houston, came a brief speech of welcome by AJnyor llolcomhe. His Honor did not tell the. audience nil thut he might linve told them. He dVl not tell them that the magnlflcent hall In which they were meeting, with a seating capacity of better than 25,u00 had been built specially for the convention at a cost of about f2tK),U00, but he plight have done so. He did not tell them that Houston had spent better than one half million dollurs, Includ ing the contribution to the national committee. In preparing for nnd 'en tertaining the convention, but he tnighl have done so. Wlint he did fell inch John and Bill, each Kale and Mary, was that Houston was mighty gtnd they had all drop|ied In, Invited theni right out to the kltchec. to have a cup of tea and a piece of cake. Vhnt little speech was very typicnl of Hous ton hospitality. It was not until the evening session that old' lime Democratic enthuslnsm really showed Itself. It came when Claude _ Bowers, the gifted keynoter, snng the praises of Democratic heroes, nnd Democratic achievements, but more especially when he paid his com pliments to. the ertswlille enemy, the Republicans. .It was a brilliant ora torical effort, well worthy of all the thunderous applause It received. That first evening session, and the session on Thursday night tliaf marked the actunl choosing of Gover nor Smith ns the party standard bear er, were the really notable sessions of the convention. Beside them other sessions seemed tame, but at these two there was no lack of Democratic red Are. nnd no vh'.ence of Democratic discord. In the Wednesday forenoon session nt which the permanent chairman. Senator Robinson, Arkansas. -w?s se lected, a real demonstration was started by the chairman's reference to that clause In the Constitution which pro vldestliat religion slinll not be a bnr to political preferment. New York snl quiet until many other states bad joined In the demonstration. Georgia. Missouri, Alabama, Tennessee, either refused to Join In the demonstration, or did so after much persnnsloti. III), oofs, like N'ew York, waited until other states had led the demonstra tion. Party Harmony Pravalla. .It waa a "onventinn orer which there lind liecn much tnlk ; to what the dry South would and would not do. fcs to what the wet (Call would and would not do, but when It whs all over all had agreed to the few coinpro mlses that were necessary to produce party harmony. Ay to the candidate It tyns beat expressed by half a dosen delegates on Tuesday morning. Vhey were from dry Kansas. Two of them were arguing that Governor Smith was not a prnpei candidate to represent the people of Kansas. The other* four agreed that thai was true but they were going to rote for Ids nomlnn tlon. "Why?" asked one of the op ponenis. "Pecause we want to win." replied the four in chorns. And that tells the story of flic nomination. Dem ocracy wants to win -If II Is possible, nn'd Democracy believes Al Smith can poll more votes that any other candi date that could be selecleiL yjih Smith as the candidate the delegate* could not hulld a plat furtu yrhlch the candidate conld not accept,"and an the S >utl> and the dry WesT* were willing to acceiit a compromise on the pro hibition plank. Everything was so harmonious that It did not seem like a Democratic con vention. If the delegations represented the rank' and fill of the party It ran . safely'be said that Democracy goes Into.'the dgh> to d feat the ticket janmlnated at Kansas City as a united party. I; will lake a count of the*votes next November to tell the reef of the story. Naming the Candidates. The speeches placing the names of the several candidates for the 'Presi dential nomination before the conven tion were listened to with Intense In terest. Franklin Itnoserelt named Gov ernor Smith, as he did four years ago al New York, but the Smith forces did not make an effort to carry the convention by -atorm a* they did at New York. It waa not ncMtd. and It would not have been good politics. Other* named the favorite (on*, and each received a full measure of ep pis use and a demonstration. While there waa never any doubt as to the reeult of the balloting tba Smith forces were specially anxious thai all the fsrorlte son* he placed before Ibe convention, and each receive one or mora complimentary ballots. The dlfft-. cutty was lo keeping everybody from dlmhlag onto the Smith bandwagon on the krtt ballot, or at least fcaihre a vote had baa? cast lag oU?r'?Mdi dates. The effort wns In prrrent nnv appearance of si mi in roller niellos. Texas, Hospitality. ' llniistnn nnil nil Texas gave the Democratic hosts a royal welcome, and extended the very maximum of that hrand of hospitality for which the South Is famous. Kroro the time the delegate stepped off the trnln to he met by a blare of tubns and, bass drums, until he crossed the state line on Ids homeward Journey, there was not a moment when there was not being lavished upon him the friendly attentions of a friendly peo ple. The same welcome was extended to all. whether It was Senator Pat Harrison, or Governor George, or I'or dell Hull, and their dry followers from Mississippi, Georgia and Ten nessee, or the wet Tammany tigers, of New York, or the equally wel Brennnnltes from Illinois. That wns outside the convention hall and the rooms of llie resolutions committee. Inside these places the wet forces of the party found the gloved hand of good fellowship had become a hare knuckled nst of a lusty lighter carrying a hard wuilop. Outside the convention hall Gov. Dan Moody and his Texas delegates were the genial hosts. Inside the hall they were the shock troops of dry Demo crats, lending the tight for a dry can didate, If posslhie, but more especially for a dry platform. They believed In prohibition, and they said so; they believed In enforcing the prohibitory law, and they said so; they did not want any modification, and they said so?emphatically. And a right gala light It wns before It wns all over. Many Ideas on Platform. The real fight of the convention came In the resolutions committee. There were submitted to that commit tee nlmost as ninny planks favoring prohibition, favoring the enforcement of the present law, or opposing the present law, us there were delega tions. Among these the one submitted by Governor Moody of Texas, calling for a strict enforcement and strong In dorsement of the present law, wns the most radical on that side. Somewhat milder was the one submitted by Sen ator Carter Gluss of Virginia, calling for the strict enforcement of all laws, but unmlng specifically the Klgbteenth amendment. Kormer Secretary Jo sephus Daniels submitted a somewhn't similar plank, though a little differ Joseph T. Robinson end; Worded. On the oilier tide there Came from the New York delegation ? plnnk denouncing the present law and proposing that each stale lie per mitted to name the amount- of alco holic content permissible In each ?tale. From the dry southern states us well as some of the central and mountain states there came dl.e prophecies of what results might be expected In No vember should the wet Ideas of New York, New Jersey, New England, and some of the oilier northern states pre vail. Governor Moody Indicated that life adoption of such a plnnk would he "an overdraft on the loyalty of the South for the Democratic party." The other plank over which there wos much discussion, and many varied opinions was that on farm relief. From some states came s direct de mand for an Indorsement of legisla tion similar to hsi proposed hy the IfcNary-Hsugen bill Including the equalization fee. From that they graded all the way dowh to those that wanted only to promise Ihe farm er s square deal without specifying how It was to be done. Houston Enjoyed It All. Houston made the most of her Brst national political convention. Her peo ple were out to see all. and to be. as much as possible, a part of the big show. Forty-eight hours before Chair man Shaver called the convention to order there was no mistaking tlte fact that, a convention was coming. Sun day morning the streets were alive wltb hands shouting a welcome to each In coming delegation, and Ihe buildings were gorgeously decorated with the national colors, In which the l.nne Star state Bog at tana was a promi nent reatuie. HAPPENNINGS OF THE WEEK NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENTEVENTS Democrat* Pick Smith and Robinson a* Leaders and Adopt Dry Plank. IT WAS all "AT Smith at the Demo cratlc national convention. Tha friends of the New York governor had the situation In band stall times. ' Alfred E. Smith of New York and Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas were chosen the standard bearers of the Democratic party In the coming cam paign. When the first roll call ended Spilth was 8 ft votes short of the 733'A nec essary to nominate. Ohio led the switches that rolled np the governor's total to 849 H. Jim Reed, Smith's outstanding .rival for the nomination, took the platform and summoned all factions of the par ty to unite In support of the nominee. The naming of "Al" Smith was merely putting the official stamp on the expressed choice of a vast ma jority of the party. The opposition which marched on Houston with the determination to fight the New York governor to the last ditch soon discov ered they did not have a chance. The tide toward Joe Robinson for second place on the ticket started even before the convention was opened. One ballot was enough. Those who were looking for a "wet" plank In the party platform were dis appointed. After a bitter controversy for days In the committee, a plank was agreed upon which declares for enforcement of the Eighteenth amend ment. The plank sharply criticizes the Republican administration for what Is described as a failure to en force the dry laws and also for plac ing "political hirelings" In enforce ment positions, thus making of pro hibition a political football. . The platform pledges the party to establish a farm relief policy modeled upon the federal reserve system. Two outstanding paragraphs read: "Creation of a federal farm board to assist the farmer and stock raiser In the marketing of their products as the federal reserre board has done for the banker and business man. "Credit aid by loans to co-opera tives on at least as favorable a basis as the government aid to the merchant marine." The Democratic plank does not mention McNary-Haugen nor the equalization fee. However, It does mention the prin ciple of the equalization fee. It pledges the fostering and development of cq-operatlve marketing associations through appropriate government aid. Then It pledges the party "to an earnest endeavor to solve this problem of the distribution of the cost of deal ing with crop surpluses over the mar keted units of the crop whose pro-' ducers are benefited by such assis tance." Other high spots of the platform were: . Denunciation of Republican corrup tion, Farther reduction in taxation by limiting debt retirement to sinking fnnd requirements. Imposition of tariff duties which will permit effective competition. In surance against monopoly and at the ^ame time produce a fair revenue for the support of the government Criticism of foreign policies of the Republican administration. Curbing of the Issuance of Injunc tion In labor disputes as sought by organised labor. Condemnation of excessive campaign expenditures. Development of the American mer chant marine. Strict enforcement of anti-trust laws. The keynote speech of Claude 0. Bowers was an appeal for harmony and a united Democracy. The fiery orator from New York stirred the con vention to wild bursts of enthusiasm as he assailed the Republican party on Its record of eight years' adminis tration of the country's affairs. The permanent chairman, Senator Joseph T. Robinson, set off sSlne fire works when he declared that there would be no "wet" plank In the plat form. He mads a plea for religious tolerance, saying "Jefferson e gloried In the Virginia statute providing (or religions freedom." This started one of the most noisy of the many demon strations that marked this convention. secretary or statu kellogg ^ has called upon the governments of 14 nations to sign a revised and final draft of his projected anti-war treaty. The text of the slightly mod ified peace pact, together with a cov ering note, has been delivered to Great Britain and her dominions, together with France, Italy, Germany, Japan and the Locarno powers. Each of the Interested governments was urged to slgn'on the dotted line at once and to accept the treaty as written without qualification or reser vation. ^Tlils government, Mr. Kellogg stated, Is prepared to sign the treaty as It now stands without reservations. Mr. Kellogg brushes aside most of the objections advanced by France and other powers and states frankly that bis examination of their replies to his first note, inviting them to co operate in the negotiation of a treaty for the renunciation of war, has re vealed no reasons why tbey should not adhere to the final draft of the treaty at once. He described -Abe changes in the-treaty as slight In making public his note placing the matter of approving the latest treaty draft squarely up to the Inter ested powers. State department offi cials made It known that 12 of the nations hare signified, through their ambassadors, a readiness to sign the treaty at once. France and Italy are understood to be the only nations whose representa tives have displayed reluctance toward complete acceptance of the Kellogg proposal. The confidence felt by Mr. Kellogg In the ultimate success of his peace activities Is expressed In the conclud ing lines of his Ihvltatlon. "My government Is confident," he as serts. "that the other nations of the world will, as soon as the treaty comes In force, gladly adhere thereto, and that this simple procedure will bring mankind's age-long aspirations for universal peace nearer to practical fulfillment than ever before in the his tory of the world." ROBERT W. 8TBWART, chairman of the Standard Oil Company of Jndlana, under indictment for perjury In connection with hli testimony be fore the aenate committee investigat ing the Teapot Dome scandal, will be tried In Washington October 8.

The Indictment charges that Stew I art lied when he told the senate Tea pot Oome scandal committee he did not participate la the profits of the Continental Trading company, Ltd. Subsequently Stewart, recalled by the committee, admitted he had han dled 1759,000 of the profits of the Con tinental company and had held them Intact for either the Standard com pany or the Sinclair Crude Oil Pur cbasingjgompany. The bonds were de livered to the Sinclair company, ac cording to Stewart. HERBERT HOOVER, the Repub lican candidate for President, will resign as secretary of commerce with in a few days.

Its downfall dates In reality to 1914 and the waTaewhen the French, al though ronton with the blood that pouted from tbe open wound In the country's side, never felt Inclined to tax themselves, as other warring coun tries did. They paid for tbe war with loans. Afterward they hid behind the Illusion that "Germany will pay." THE sensational mallbag robbery.
