HOUSTON, June 27.--Mayor

of being the most snappily
dressed man at the Democratic

One is Ray Baker Of Nevada,
former director of the mint,
whose dazzling haberdashery
has won him fame in his home
State, in Washington and'
points between the two.
The other is Chauncey Ira
mutolo, San Francisco politi-
clan, whose lavender shirt and
mauve suit were the event of a
luncheon given here for him
and other members of the Ex-

Senator, already has enlivened his
stay in Houston by fist fight, and
according to those present, includ-

it was a clean-cut victory for the
Virginia statesman.
Glass opponent, according to
Barnett, was the elevator starter in
the janlmed Rice Hotel, light

Virginia Senator.
The elevator starter decreed that
Glass should not board an elevator

Corruption Is Blasted

He pleaded also for the. support
of independent and progressives" in
his party's battle for popular gov
eminent"
I'VE march against that centrali-
zation which threatens the liberties
of our people," he said.
1--WE battle for the honor of the
Nation, besmirched and bedraggled
by the most brazen and shameless
carnival of corruption that ever
blackened the reputation of a de-
cent and self-respecting people.
For forty years the party in pow
er has conjured with the name of
Lincoln while following the leader
ship of Hamilton; now, after eight
years of successful privilege and
pillage, it throws off the Lincolnian
mask.
1T could hardly keep the Lin
coin mask on its face and Sin
clair's money in it's chest. At Kan
sas City, where they dramatized
the issue, it was not Lincoln, but
Hamilton, who rode at the head of
the procession"
Bowers praised Woodrow Wilson
as a majestic figure, denounced the
Harding Coolidge regime as priv
ilege enthroned," assailed the Re-
publicans for kicking out of court
the farmers plea for relief, and
defended the Democratic party as a
friend to business.
He adverted repeatedly to the
topic or corruption, dwelling on the
Little Green House on K st., in
Washington, where the Daugherty-
Jess Smith group used to meet, and
praising Senator Thomas j. Walsh,
the Teapot Dome committee prose-
cutor.

1.-THE brilliant record of our eight
years of power is as a splotch of

background of eight years of priv

HOUSTON, Texas, June 27.-The
continued absence of Senator Hef1in
is causing surprise among delegates.
Helm had announced he would
hire hall here and set up an oppo-

A telegram to the Alabama dele

he did not mention coming to
Houston.
The Senator reiterated charges
made against Smith and Catholics
on the Senate floor, predicted
Smiths defeat if he is nominated,
and urged the Alabama delegation
to hold against the New Yorker to

Personality Dear to Man in
Street; Record Added
Asset.
BY WILL DURANT

This is Houston-lovely and
lovable, brilliant with sunshine
architecturally handsome, leisurely
active, courteous and uncomfortable
with a library that rivals New York'S
and a temperature that rivals hell
The streets are vivid with bunting
noisy with bands and almost covered
with parades.
Houston is a perfect host. 1t re-
ceiveS the delegates with cordial anc
quiet hospitality.
Yet our coming is quite useless
for here, too, the convention is over
before it has begun.
Smith is nominated before vote
is cast, and that item settled, i
does not matter what the platform
says.
Close to Masses
What sort of man is it that ha.
captured all these delegates anC
united a shattered party, withou
stirring from his desk?
There is something irresistible il
hilfl-a personality whose color anC
lure make Hoover seem infinitely
remote, impossible for the common
people to understand or love. Wha
is the secret of this popularity?
There are many elements in 1t
but beneath them all is the fac
that Governor Smith is not so diff
ferent from the average man, either
in character or name, but thai
affection can mount to him.
People will admire Hoover, but
their hearts will be far from him
They will sing "Al's my pal" bui
not even a college cheer leader vii
persuade them to sing about the
man who wishes to bring science
into Government.
They will call Smith by his frs
syllable, and it will be difficult no
to vote for a man with whom one
is so friendly. That first name viii
be worth half a million votes, an.
even the last name should bring {
hundred thousand.
OutgrOwS Machine
Millions more will go to Smith
because he symbolizes perfectly the
ultimate dream, in every American
heart, of rising from poverty tt
honor and power.
Many men have risen from
poverty to greatness. What stands
out here is the spectacle of a man
coming from politics to statesman
ship through all the nire OF
machine subserviency.

career, supplying speeches on de-
mand for any Tammany candidate
