IN JOSEPHUS DANIELS
LEANING TO AL SMITH?
Raleigh Times Enumerates Three
Reasons lor Relieving That He Is.
Raleigh. March 24.—Josephus Dan
iels, prodded on all sides as possible
running mate of Gov. A1 Smith on
the presidential ticket, finds himself
specially beset today by the afternoon
paper's editorial column which sug
gests several acts of the Raleigh editor
,as indicating u Smith leaning. The
Times says in part-: , ~
"One is it recent failure to denounce
ns anarchists in accordance with the
Bryan ultimatum all who suggests a
lack of virtue in Hie Volstead act.
“Another is the advocacy of the
abolition of the twothirds restraint in
applause of the Anti-Saloon league, |
of which he once was state president,
and a significant absence from the
recent meeting at which Tom Hefiin I
denounced the Catholic religion. This
position has been diluted only by a
faint criticism of the abolition of the
presidential primary and an indorse
ment of Heflin's platitude that 'wet'
money could not buy up North Caro
lina 'dry morals.' ”
The Durham Herald points the sug
guestion even more broadly, in its
analysis of what Mr. Daniels told the
women:
“The McAdoo followers can find
little comfort in the Daniels sugges- j
tion. Too many of the objections set
forth-by the former, secretary of the?
Ug*J fit Mr. McAdoo. While aome sff
* 'Hs.lSmßk, .fMDgIMMpf
weighing of the qualifications set fortlf
by Mr. Daniels will show n slight
preference to Smith ns against Mc-
Adoo. One question asked by Daniels
is significant. In telling of the quali
fications that the party's candidate
• should hare, he declared that the nomi
nee should be the composite of Tildeu.
Cleveland and Wisou, and then he
asked: ‘ls there any significance in
the fact that all three went from Hie
gubernatorial chair to the presidency?'
That is significant in view of-the fact
that Smith, Ritchie, Dohaney nftd
McLean are goverhors, while McAdoo,
Walsh, Meredith and Heed and Dan
iel* himself are not.
“Perhaps there’s nothing to the sug
gestion, but we are glad that it is jat
last in the open air and no longer
clouded by cigar smoke in hotel lobbies.
It is clear, however, that the Daniels
shirt is no longer splitting for McAdoo
and it is certain that whoever is (he
nominee, no Democratic candidate for
Vice president will have even a morti
cian’s chance to occupy the White,
House unless he is the tail —however
unbitious a noe —of an A1 Smith kijte.
‘We wonder. Mr. Daniels kuows.
But will he tell?” ;
Battling Nelson, the former light
weight champion, was considered by
many experts in pugilism to have been
the greatest fighting champion in any
class that the world has ever knovjrn,
with the possible exception of Joe
Walcott.

Vln response to an inquiry. Sir. Bur-1

The Sun at Austin, Texas, to say that j
Mr. Burleson, who was an associate]
Os William (i. McAdoo in the cabinet i
of President Wilson, favors the lionti-j
nation and election of Governor Smlih I
as President.
Mr. Burleson believes Smith stands j
for the same things Wilson stood for i
nnd the people of the South should)
not display religious bigotry toward I
him because of his faith.
There was no denying that the an-!
nouncement brought real cheer to the j
governor’s official family and the Dem- j
oerats of the state, gathered here in
large numbers for the windup of the
session.
"That marks the break. A! Smith
will be nominated if he can break info
Texas,” several politicians said.
Several rumbles have eotne from
Texas during the last month. The
drift has indicated that the Lone Star
State believes it has a strong candi
date in the person of Governor Dan
Moody, who is willing to hitch that
Rtar to the Smith boom.
Smith and Moody is a ticket that

GASOLINE IN WEST
j Reduces Price to Lowest Since War
Days.
i Lor Angeles, March 2ft.—As a
j result of u bitter price war between
j powerful Pacific t’oast oil companies,
Edward 1,. Doheny, chairman of the
I bourd of the Pan-American Western
! Company, lias ordered a cut of 2
jgiaa^ain^'ariP'e
j cut brought the price of gasoline down
!to the lowest letel seen here since
!wnr days.
! Mr. Doheny left a sick bed* to go
]to his office and authorize the cut.
i After he had issued the order he re-
I turned to his home. It was his first
i appearance at his office in recent
i weeks. ft
I The slash was Mr. Dohenys answer
to a general reduction by the leading
refining companies, which had brought
. the retail price down from 18 1-2
j cents to 16 1-2 cents a gallon. The
California Petroleum Corporation took
! the lead in making that cut nnd was
followed by all of the other major
I refining companies in the State.
In announcing the further cut to
14 1-2 cents a gallon officials of the
Doheny company were careful to ex
plain that it was made necessary not
because of economic conditions but
because of “bitter competition between
rival companies for gallonage."
The reduction by the Pan-American
company applies only to the area in
the State lying south of Santa Bar
bara. The new price at 14 1-2 cents
a gallon includes the State gasoline
tax of 2 cents a gallon.
None of the other companies has
yet followed the Pan-American's cut.
It was indicated that if they do so.
the reductions will be regional.
