DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE
t ' -? ' tes&J 1 / ?
Gov. Alfred E.
Democrats Will Name
Smith and Robinson!
It is generally eoncceded in well
informed political circles in Houston
that Governor Alfred E. Smith of
New York will be nominated as the
Democratic candidate for president
on either the first, second, or third
ballot at the Houston convention,
either today or tomorrow, although
there is still determined opposition
to the New Yorker among some of
the delegations.
Senator Joseph T. Robinson, of
Arkansas, will be the vice president
ial nominee, it is believed.
The convention was opend Tuesday
niorning with prayer In Bishop S. R.
Hay of the Methodist Episcopal
church, South; and soon after ad
journed until 7 o'clock in the even
ing, when the pastor of the First
Presbyterian church of Houston led
the prayer, after which Chairman
Shaver introduced Claude Bowers as
temporary chairman, and Mr. Bowers
delivered the key note sjK'ech to the
convention and some forty million
radio listeners, c\|>oimdiiig the dif
ference between the Hamiltonian and
Jeffersonian schools of thought, and
applied them to the histories of the
two parties?.
The demand in the sjieech that the
farmers be given an equal chance
with other business brought forth a
great- demonstration, the banners of
South Dakota and North arolina lead
ing the parade about the halh\
The phrase that provoked the dem
onstration was:
"We do not pledge the farmer pa
ternalistic relief; but we do demand
that the hand of privilege an! pilliage
b.e tnkey from put the farmer's
pocket and off the farmer's throat."
The best informed political writers
in Houston assert that the platform
will ca'l for enforcement of the pro
hibition laws and for substantial re
lief for the farmers. <
(Jet rid of that low producing lienj
no^F. Cir'l the flock and sell or eat
all hens that do not lav more than
half the time. Those eariy hatched
pellets that are not showing op well
can nl.'X) be gotten rid of at this
time. ; "
