Walkers Election as Mayor of
New York Is Big Triumph
for Gov. Al Smith
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD


NJ ATIONAL interest in last weeks
~ elections centered mainly on New
York city where Jimmy Walker, the
Tammany Smith candidate for mayor,
was pitted against Frank d. Wafer
man millionaire Republican nominee.
Little doubt of Walkers victory had
existed. but the size Of the plurality
more than 40l COO caused something
of sensation. Actually it was a spec
tacular triumph for Gov. Al Smith and
fixes him in his place as the foremost
figure in the Democratic party. He
says he will retire from politics at the
end of his term but if he wishes it he
is assured of the support of the East
ern wet delegations for the Presi-
dental nomination in the next Demo
cratic national convention That of
course doesn't mean that he could be
nominated. for the Southern and West
ern Democrats are still dry in the
main.
In addition to putting over his CUB
ernatorial candidate Smith won big

amendments to the state constitution
which he warmly supported allcarried,
despite the fight onsthree of them
made by the Republicans under the
direction of Senator Wadsworth, Rep
resentative Ogden Mills and State
Chairman Morris These leaders of
the G. O. P. In the state suffered con-
siderable loss of prestige, for they are
accused Of bungling the fight on the
amendments. The only one the Repub-
licans SUPP Eorted provides for reform
of the judiciary.
Democrats scored another victory in
New Jersey, where the issue was
clearly prohibition and their candidate
for governor, A. Harry Moore, wet, de-
fedted Arthur Whitney, dry, Repub-
lican and indorsed by the Anti-Saloon
league by a plurality of about 10000
Immediately after learning of his cleo
tion Mr.. Moore announced that as soon
as he was inaugurared he would begin

the Volstead law so as to permit the

Municipal elections in Indiana re-
suited in victories for the Republicans
In Indianapolis, Terre Haute, Evans.
Vile, Fort Wayne, Lafayette, Peru,
Elkhart, Charlottesville, and several
other cities; with the exception of
indianapolis, all these had been gov
erned by the Democrats for four years
Among the Hoosier cities won by the
Democrats were South Bend, Marion
and Richmond
In nominally non-partisan election
Boston. which has been controlled by
the Democrats for sixteen years, was
captured by the Republicans, who
elected Malcolm e. Nichols mayor
The Ku Klux Khan figured prom
inently in two elections, and broke
even. 1t supported J r. Duvall, who
was elected mayor of Indianapolis
but Charles Bowles, its candidate for
mayor of Detroit, was decisively
beaten by John w. Smith, the present
executive.

ARMY officers that Mitchen's state

asked and obtained adjournment to
the following Monday In order that 1t
might have opportunity to confer with
the prosecution as TO what witnesses
the prosecution would agree that the
defense might summon. General
