HARTFORD, Conn. July 12.-"He's
a fine man, but he can't be elected
is the verdict of Connecticut Demo-
Gratis on the nomination of John w.
Davis for President and, even allow
ing for the keen disappointment in a
strong Smith state, over the failure
to nominate Smith, the verdict is not
likely to be changed as time softens
the disappointment Before the con-
vention was held, Smith supporters
in Connecticut declared emphatically
only Democrat who could carry the
state and, while for policy's sake,
some of them are not saying it so
loudly now. the feeling has not
strength throughout Connecticut, and
even some Republican leaders who are
not noted for their timidity were in
clined to view his nomination with
alarm, a few even going as far as to
predict that he would get the cleo
toral vote of the state, a prediction
that does not appear to have been
justified in a rock-ribbed Republican
state which has given its vote to
Democratic candidate for President
Cleveland, in 1892. that exception
being the Bull Moose" campaign of
1912.
Feeling is Intense.
Added to the regrets among party
leaders over the defeat of Smith is in
tense feeling over the unquestioned
fact that the Democracy of the state
was not allowed to express itself at
the convention. From the time that
the Smith hat entered the ring the
Democrats of the state have been for
him, and yet by begging or bullying
hot h fnh Nv,@
involved the friendship for and the
influence of National Committeeman
Homer S. Cummings, this was not made
evident at the opening of the conven-
tion and was never in full evidence
afterward. Mr.. Cummings, who was
a part of the McAdoo machine, but
with plenty Of ambition in his own
behalf, has aroused some animosities
which may not do when in his own
state and comes back more or less on
the outs with his chief, who, 1t is un-
derstood, came to feel that Mr.. Cum
mings' own candidacy stood in the
way of giving his best service to the
McAdoo cause.
May Affect State Ticket.
The defeat Of Smith may mean a
change in the state standard bearer,
as William E. Thoms of Waterbury,
who has been looked upon as the best
bet for the gubernaturfal nomination,
declared a short time ago that he
would not run If Smith was not the
candidate.
Many disgruntled Connecticut Demo-
Gratis will refuse to vote for Davis
and Bryan, although it does not ap-
pear that the number will approxi-
mate the number who deserted the
Democracy on the league of nations
issue in 1920. Whore will they go?
Some to Coolidge, of course, but. at
the present moment La Toilette
looms up as the likely chief beAe-
ficiary. H. /. HORTON.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, July H.
Judging both by popular opinion and
by editorial comment in the smaller
papers, as well as in the larger dailies
OF the state, John w. Davis and
Charles w. Bryan will have the
hearty and enthusiastic support of all
Arkansas Democrats In an inter-
view yesterday Gov. McRae said:
John w. Davis is a happy choice.
He Is the strongest man the Demo-
Gratis could have selected" The Ar
kansas Gazette, commenting edito-
rally, said: I'm John w. Davis the
Democratic party has a candidate for
President who measures up to. the
highest standards Of character and
ability. Democracy is fortunate TO
have such an advocate and such a
champion Of its cause. The Madison
Square Garden convention did splen-
did work when it completed its ticket
with the selection of the brother of
the commoner. The party could not
have better standard bearers than it
has In John w, Davis and Charles w.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, July L.
The nomination of Davis and Bryan
will solidify the party in Oklahoma,
J. B. A Robertson, former governor,
declared.
Davis stands for constitutional
government and his nomination
means the party nationally, as well
as in Oklahoma, has stopped wander
lag in the vagaries and Isms and has
gotten back on a solid rock founda-
tion, was the way S. P. Freezing
former attorney general, expressed it.
Virtually all party leaders believe
the nomination will help the Demo-
cratic party in this state more than
any other state and that it will place
the state back in the Democratic
ranks at the coming election.

narrow majority of the people of

Cheerful Outlook For Golfers

You have played, practiced and studied golf for twenty years or more. Just what have you learned in all that time%
 We mailed that question to fifty of the oldest golfers. Here are some of the answers:
 t"Let's see now. I've a vague recol- lection of having learned something or other, but offhand I cant remember just what it was"
 Il finally learned how to adjust my knickers and make them bag properly at the knees."
 After years of careful study I finally learned how to manage the faucets in the bathroom at our club house. But it's no use. They're put ting in new faucets now"
 "Nonnayadambizness."
 I've learned how to go broke in a technical and scientific manner"
 Eve learned that I cant learn any thing"
 T learn something new each day and next day I find out it aint so."
 I've learned how to keep the ban straight down the middle of the rough and seldom hook or slice into the fair way"
 i've learned how to cuss a caddy in seven languages, six slanguages and five dialects"
 Let's see now. What have learned in twenty years of assaulting with in- tent to golf? Oh yes-Pve learned how to lock and unlock my locker without any assistance from the attendant.

AMERICANS WIN
 IN DAVIS PLAY
Tilden Beats Patterson While Richards Downs
 O'Hara Wood

GERMANTOWN, Pa, Sept. H. The United States will enter the sec- ond days play af the Davis cup match in a2 to o lead over Australia amassed Thursday when William T. Tilden, Jr., defeated Gerald l.. Patter- son, GA, 6-2, 6-2, and Vincent Rich ards defeated Pat O'Hara Wood, 6-3, 6-2, GA.
 It was an easy victory in each in- stance and Tilden and William M, Johnston who will oppose the same Australians in the doubles match Fri day on the Germantown Cricket club courts here, are outstanding favorites to win the third and crucial match, spelling the retention of the trophy by this country.
 That the Australian pair has more than fighting chance for the doubles, however, despite their poor showing ill tournaments of the last three weeks, is predicted by their partisans of knowledge of their past best form. In 1922 they defeated Tilden and Richards in the Davis cup doubles after having previously been defeated by this pair in the national doubles. In other in- stances also they have earned for them- selves the unofficial title of .'the best doubles players in the world"
 Tilden Wins Easily
 Tilden won easily in his match with Patterson. The American started poor ly. He permitted the big Australian to run up a to lead at the opening. His shots were not working, he flubbed easy ones and killed natural returns. But, with the exception of that first furry Patterson was beaten every inch of the way and every moment of the play, which in all totaled 42 minutes for the match. Tilden literally drove his opponent off the court with every variety of stroke. Moreover, his great est unkindness to the losing Australian was his constant hammering of the latter's backhand, known to be the weakest offering in Patterson's reper- toire.
 Although Richards success was just as evident, it came in a different fash ion, if for no other reason than that OHara Wood is a man who fights hardest when he is being beaten easiest. OHara Wood entered the match with one idea in mind, namely to keep Rich ards away from the net. The young American has earned the reputation of being deadly at the corded barrier. To

GOLF AND OTHER TROUBLES
By BARRIE PAYNE

That's all I can think of now"
 'The most that any man can know about golf is to know that very little can be known-to misquote somebody or other.'
 My price for golf lessons is two dol lars per half hour. By mail same price.
 You may uote me as saying that there's nothing to uote me as saying"
 I've learned a swing that is wonder ful-for photographic purposes"
 I've learned how to drive right down the middle-of the road in my car, to and from the clnb."
 After years of careful study I've learned that most pros are Scotch men,"
 I've learned that I was fool for taking it up anl should have quit golf years ago. Must close now, as I have foursome scheduled for 2 o'clock"
 "The sum total of my knowledge anent golf, accumulated during twen- ty years: It's an expensive game"
 that I'm the worlds worst player of the worlds best game"
 Il haven't learned anything about it. That's why I continue to play it. Golf is like an attractive woman mysterious and hard to understand. The minute you begin to understand a woman your interest begins to wane. Where there's no mystery there's no charm. The same applies to golf"
 If a little learning is a dangerous thing my knowledge of golf is little enough to be downright deadly"
 I've learned that club locker is not safe place to keep it."

This hakes the second state to adopt this plan, according to L. c.

 The plan consists of model munich pal milk control ordinance which was drawn up and tried out by the state department of health. More than a dozen towns in Alabama already have adopted the ordinance, according to de- partment officials, an dothers are rap idly taking up the plan.
 Wherever the ordinance has been in use it has proved successful, department officials said.

 In the late weeks of the summer cam paign, when the headmen of the trail ing troupes become convinced that they have nothing to lose but their sleep, the bush-leaguer gets a better chance to demonstrate what he can do on the highly polished diamonds of the main show than he can ever get in the spring when every game counts with every club. Iris Speaker, realizing that his Cleveland Indians who won the pennant in 1920 will have to be reorganized, has called in his yokelry from obscure clubs to get some experience in the majors. George Sisler, manager of the Browns, has summoned seven recruits to St. Louis and will give them occasional chances under practical operating con ditions.
