With such a job on his hands, the mayor left his sick bed la*t-Fri day and made the long trip to Houston?only to be .turned over to a rbrps of photographers and ap parently turned aside by the cam paign managers. Tammany Hall, despite t h e speed which Governor Smith's band wagon has gathered, was quite, indignant about the whole thing. Mr. O. .0. Bailey Dies I After Long Illness Mr Q.

AL SMITH'S HATE Arkansas Senator Acceptable j To Both Smith And Other 1 Factions Of Party . ! SUPPORTED FARM BILL Houston..Texas. June 26.?The I Presidential nominee o I this' conyen- t tion appears almost as certain notM as the selection of Governor Alfrdd | E. Smith, erf New York, as the Presi dent ml lii.nmii.'ir. Senator Joseph T. Robinson, of Ar- j kanr-av Democratic floor leader m the Senate and permanent chairman of | the convention, seems -slated .as sec ond man on the ticket. His name is most frequently, mentioned. He is acceptable to the Smith leaders and' generally favored "by other factions1 in the convention. Robinson had been mentioned in | the last few months for this position, but it was thought at first the con vention would turn to the Middle West or West rather than the South. 3ut leaders seem to agree now that } Robinson, who supported the Mc Nary-Haugen bill, would be just as: valuable from an- agricultural stand point as a Westerner. The Vice-Presidential nominee can- ' not -be predicted too .^afely m -any convention. The field in this conven tion, though. is very narrow. Next to Robinson. Evans Woolen, Indianapo lis blinker, is most prominently men tioned.
