now on the spot,
Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi
will receive the 90 votes Of Mississippi
on the first ballot. although he goes
before the convention as favorite son
candidate over his own protest. At a
caucus Of the delegation late yesterday,
they determined to vote for him whethA
err he would or no. His name will not
be formally presented TO the convention,
however There is no little Smith SEN
timent in this delegation.
The caucuses held by various State
delegations before the convention be-
gan merely served TO show how strong
ly the Smith tide Is running. Some
of the States which are scheduled to
vote for favorite sons on the first bal
lot are ready to switch to the Smith
bandwagon on the drop of the hat
For example, of OhioS IS delegates,
Is are for Smith. If it becomes APP
parent that Smith is going over on the
FIRST ballot or merely needs the Ohio
votes to have the necessary two-thirds
to nominate him, Ohio stands ready
to shift to Smith The same is true
of the Kansas delegation. in which IL
of the delegates are now for Smith
and more are ready TO go to him.
The Arkansas delegation is for Smith
with the exception of one-half of one
vote. according to reports. II the Ar
kansas delegation, which votes third
on the list of States, cast TIA votes
for Smith on the first ballot. 1t does not
appear that a first ballot nomination
can be avoided

ALBANY, N. Y. June 26.--As the
Democratic convention which will con-
slider his name as the party's candidate
for the presidency opened in Texas to-
day Gov. Alfred E. Smith tried on the
latest edition Of his cr-ending sue
cession of brown derbies, the war bon
nets that have featured every Smith
campaign for the past quarter century.
The governor greeted reporters with
a smile in the executive office shortly
before noon, but while he chatted with
them freely he continued his policy of
saying nothing about the convention or
his own prospects.
For the benefit of the newcomers" he
said. II think I'd better show the latest
thing in brown derbies."
Walking across the room to hat
rack. he took down a deep chocolate
derby that had arrived as gift by the
morning mail and set it jauntily on his
head
How many of those do you get a
day?" he was asked.
-Four so far. today" he said but
only one in a dozen is wearable. This
one. though, is good. This is official
The governor said that he would

but all I've been able to pick up on
it so far Is the noise of the Capitol
elevators going up and down, and that's
not so interesting"
He indicated that State business
would occupy him during the day and
that in the later afternoon he might
get in a game OF golf:

The whole talk down here Is wet and

IT,
Prohibition Is running about a quart

they will be.
Tammany delegates we're reached and
instructed not to drink while here, and
they are the lonesomest looking gang
you ever saw. They all say why pick
on us to be the only sober ones here?"
Today 1t starts. The biggest show In
the world. Houston Is doing its part
nobly: The actors have had four years
to think up new things to call the Re-

money, for Democrats are the only race

EVELETH ELKS HAVE FINE
BILL FOR NEXT BOXING SHOW

The bill for the second Savoy
Athletic and Social club amateur box
ing show to be staged at the EveleCh
August 10, has been completed. The
show will be sponsored by EveleJh
Lodge, No. 1161, B. p. 0. E. it has been
announced by N. Constantine, pro-
moter.
The show will include eight bouts
of high class fighting. Constantine
has selected the cream of the boxing
game in the entire state and is Offering
the range fans bill of unusual high
caliber. The first show promoted by
him met with great success and an
even bigger crowd is looked forward to
at the coming fight.
After considerable searching and
dickering the Eveleth promoter finally
landed an opponent to meet Odmar
Anderson, the towering Eveleth giant.
This opponent will be Pat Malloy, one
of the outstanding fighters of the Rose
Room gym in st. Paul. Malloy is
beefy customer, tipping the scales at
1875 pounds and has won almost every

smoothed over through persistent
work.

Jola of Eveleth and Tony Mihelich of
Bovey, and between Gunnar Larson of
Kelly Lake and Larry Winters of Nor
gan Park. Lou Hribar a newcomer
will battle Elmo Lahti of Hibbing.

f1ector signs are visible in spite Of
bright oncoming lights. For this rea-
son they are being tried first on one
of the busiest of the state trunk high
ways.
Good highways, especially pave
ments, cost money. The crowded con-
dition of some of the main highways
has caused steady increase in night
driving. On gravel roads this causes
a proportionate increase in mainten-
ance costs, but a traffic increase on
the paved highways does not increase
the maintenance cost nor cause any
perceptible added wear on the slab.
Greater use of the highways at night
therefore increases the 24-hour capa-
city of the pavements and decreases
the cost per vehicle mile.
The highway department aims to
BILE. It's regular warning signs and its
experiment with luminous signs, are
part of its policy to keep traffic NOV
ing safely. The department is also
conducting campaign to have all
drivers test their headlights and have
them adjusted SO they will throw the
light on the road without binding
other drivers. Beyond fixing stand
ards for testing lights, and designat-
ing approved lamp adjusting stations,
the department has been given no
authority to enforce the law against
glaring lights. The power to take
action against those who drive with
binding lights is left entirely to local
police and sheriffs. Many Of them, but
not all, are taking vigorous steps to
end the binding headlight evil.

LUMINOUS MARKERS
INSTALLED ON NO 1

The Minnesota Highway department
has nearly completed installation OF
luminous warning signals at all turns
curves and crossings on Trunk High
way No. / from Owatonna to Duluth
The new type signs reflect the light
from the headlamps and are visible
when the standard signs are difficult
to see. The installation, Commissioner
C. M Babcock says, is in the nature OF
an experiment to determine whether
the advantages of the new type signs
are enough to justify the added ex-
penSe.
The ordinary painted signs, placed
about thirty inches high on the road
shoulders, are generally visible at
night when light strikes them, but
when there is steady stream of traf-
fic coming the other way, it is some
times difficult to see them. The re-

BY promoting the advance sale, the
fair management believes the tickets
will fill a double purpose. They will
not only give the fair association a
good advance sale but they will help
to advertise the big exposition at every
point on the Mesaba Range.
In conjunction with the sale OF
tickets, the publicity department OF
the fair has arranged for the distribu-
ton of fair advertising matter to reach
every point in the Arrowhead. Bright
colored paper, hand bills, cards, BAN
