Though Smith captures the delega-

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 1s.-Here in
New York during the past week
there has been much talk about the
presidential race settling down to a
contest between Cal and Al.
The friends of the New York gov
ernor are beginning to believe that,
after all, he has a chance to be the
democratic nominee. They are be-
ginning to feel that, perhaps after all.
there may not be so much to the tra-
dition that it would be unwise po-
iitically to name a Roman Catholic
for the presidency. They are begin
ming to feel that Gov. AL Smiths lib
erar' views are indorsed, rather than
feared by goodly part of the coun-
try.
The governor himself continues to
keep his head steady on his shoulders.
His friends may be convinced that he
has a chance for the nomination, but
they have not convinced him as yet
and he will not give his consent to
any campaign being made in his be-
half
There is no doubt, however, that
the democrats of the country have
been somewhat amazed by the results
OF the last few days. by the growing
strength of the governors position in
the coming convention, and they are
beginning TO consider all of these
factors in the light of the psycholog-
ical effect on a convention which is
TO be held here in the home town of
Gov. Smith.
See 1874 Delegates Assured.
The Smith adherents figure that with
out having made any campaign at all
Gov. Smith has 1874 delegates ready to
vote for him.
These are as follows:
New York, 80.
Wisconsin, 26.
Illinois, 5S.
Rhode Island. 10.
In Illinois, of course. the McAdoo
people claim that the voters expressed
preference for the former Secretary
OF the Treasury. But in voting for the
delegates they turned down the McAdoo
ticket and gave the delegation into the
hands Of George Brennan, the state
leader, who is heart and soul for Gov.
Smith.
Rhode Islands democratic indorse-
ment of Gov. Smith was almost as un-
expected here as was the voting for him
in Wisconsin, where he didn't know
he was running.
Big Demonstration Ceruain.
II is certain now that there will be
q big demonstration for Gov. Smith
when the convention meets on June
"a and a series of demonstrat tions there
after. There also is no doubt that Gov.
Al will have more votes at the be-
ginning than any other candidate, with
the possible exception OF Mr. McAdoo,
whose friends have carried his cam
paign from one end Of the country to
the other. So, regardless of what may
be the eventual outcome of the fight
for the democratic gonfalon, enough has

Hunters Warned
Against Use of
MOtOrbOats for
Hunting Waterfowl

In view OF several reports which
have come to the department of inland
fisheries and game since the duck sea-

outboard motors by duck hunters. at
tention is called at this time to the
provisions of the law upon this sub

less than SIS. nor more than S100 and
costs for each offensc."
Federal regulations upon this sub

NAMES WORK IN
AUGMENTATION
VERY SUCCESSFUL

The effort that is being made by
the State of Maine to Americanize Its
foreign born population and educate
it's illiterates was summarized In q
brief and interesting statement just
given out by DR.. A. Q. Fhomas'
State commissioner of education.
maine has 10000 foreign born
persons, mostly persons who nave
come from the various provinces OF
Canada" DIR. Thomas pointed out.
There are a number of other ma
tionalities within the State. OUTSIDE
of northern Aroostook county. where
these persons are engaged in agri-
cultural pursuits, persons of foreign
birth are employed in mills and fac
tories located in the larger villages
and cities.
1.-THE State law provides that
Americanization work shall be car
ried on and evening schools and spec
ial classes are organized in n large
number of communities where per-
sons who desire to become citizens
of Maine, with right to vote ana
hold office. may secure instruction in
the English language and the prin-
ciples of our government. The State
pays two thirds the cost OF instruc-
ton in such schools.
AT the time of the last census
Maine had 20,240 illiterates. About
half of these are among our foreign
horn. A systematic program has
been entered into for the reduction
of the percentage. Each year we
have reduced this number by 1900.
Compulsory education laws will make
1t impossible for a new crop of ma
tive-born illiterates. This will give Il
decided change. in the solution of the
problem in the next few years. Pro-
vision is made for special instruction
of illiterates either by house to house
work and special classes or in eve
ming schools. The management is in
the hand of local communities.
Zone division has charge of a large
number of activities which are car
ried on by the State. department OF
education. Among them are physi-
cal education. AmericaniZation. Tilt
eracy campaigns. compulsory educa-
ton, evening schools, rehabilitation
of persons injured in industry and
otherwise. usrveys and statistics,
sanitary school buildings or cam
paign for fresh air in our schools,
