' Robinson May Be Vice Presidential Selection. Every indication points to the nom ination of Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York for President by Dem ocrats assembled in national conven tion in Houston, Texas. The nomina tion will be made probably late today or tonight. Prediction is made that the selection of Governor Smith will he made on the first ballot, while there are those who say it will not be made before the second of third ballots. Senator Joseph T. Robinson, of Ar kansas, is a likely choice for Vice President as a -running mate with Governor Smith. Nominating speeches for eight can didates for the nomination at the h«iHa of the Democratic party were lest night. Those placed in nomination included: Alfred E. Smith, Governor of New York. James A Reed, Senator from Mis* sourL Cordell Hull, Representative in Con gress from Tennessee. Walter P. George, Senator from Georgia. Evans Woollen, of Indiana.

He emphasised Smith’s qualities, Partic ularly his leadership and ability to inspire intense public interest in gov emment. “America needs not only an administrator, bat a leader—a path finder, » blazer of the trail to the Roosevelt. _jmm t»fct of the past,” declared Mn The Platform The platform committee is having the hardest time of any unit of the convention. One of the members of this committee is Josephus Daniels, of North Carolina, who is leading in the fight to incorporate in the platform a dry plank. Indications are the com mittee will declare for strict enforce ment of the prohibition laws. Farm relief will be demanded and another plank will demand that the United States cooperate in world peace. The platform will be presented probably to the convention today for ratifi fication. ® Smith Oppontents Still Fighting Opponents of the nomination of , Governor Smith of New York have not by any means given up the fight, although it looks now like a hopeless taak-to scrap any longer. Dan C. Roper, Frank A. Hampton, Senator Swanson, of Virginia, Senator Blease, of South Carolina, Senator Reed, of Missouri and a score of lesser lights still hope to control enough delegates when the votftig comes around today or tonight to block Smith’s selection. Bat 'with large blocks of delegates from Ohio end Arkansas and smaller nrnnbem elesewhere getting on the Smith band wagon, there is but little doubt of the nomination of the New York chief executive.

Bowers Fires Convention In Keynote Speech Calls All Democrats To The Standards To Fight "Black Horses Of Privilege.” * Foe Is Arrogant And Led By Mohey-Maid And Scoffers—Drive Corruption From Hijtfi Places. . Claude G. Bowen£$«r York edi tor rad political awwent, fa the key note speech at toe Democratic national convention in Houston, Tex as, Tuesday iright, turned the party sharply away from the things that would hamper and divide Its forces and showed it the lines of battle that aims to dear the streets of Wash ington of the swaggering troopers and the clattering hoofbeats of the Black Horse Cavalry of Privilege. Bowers is no professional politidan, no trick laden mover of the masses. In active participation in party affairs, he has learned how men are lured into non essential differences tby those whe ex pect to profit by the rift. With a certainty that can not be challenged he told the Democratic party lead ers Tuesday night that the fight to day, as at the dawning of the Repub lic, is in the conflict of Jefferson and Hamilton, and that today the tri umph of Hamiltonian government has been achieved. In a speech that is destined to live as one of the mightiest challenges ever given a political party, Bowers called the Democratic party away from bushwhacking and private feuds back to the main line of battle. “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 de cent and self-respecting people.” Praises Wilson as Majestic Bowers praised Wodrow Wilson as a majestic figure, denounced the ' Harding-Coolidge regime as “privi lege enthroned,” assailed the Repub licans 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 of corruption, and praised Senator Thomas J. Walsh, the Tea pot Dome committee prosecutor. ' “No Harry Sinclair has paid our part debt,” the belligerent editor said. “We are free. We unfurl the Jeffersonian banner bearing Jeffer son’s device, ‘A good government is an honest government,’ and we invite all enemies of corruption to fight with oa beneath the folds for the redemp tion of the violated honor of the re public. “Prosperity A Fake” “Now they hope to drug the con science of the nation with the doped soothink syrup of a fake prosperity . . .
