VANDALS WRECK
PRINTING PLANT
Act Is Laid to Publishing OF
Pamphlets Attack
ing Smith.


SYRACUSE. N. Y. July l4.-Print-
ing Of pamphlets attacking Gov Alfred
E. Smith is believed to have led TO the
wrecking early today Of the printing
plant Of H. Edward Newton.
The plant was entered By forctrg
omen door. All the windows were
shattered. type was thrown out into
the street. printed matter was destroyed
and a large number Of the anti-Smith
pamphlets carried away. Damage was
estimated by Newton at $500.
Newton said he was given an order
for the pamphlets week ago. and that
he had run them off according to the
instructions Of the man who gave the
order. He disclaimed knowledge either
Of The name or address Of his customer.
Thursday afternoon five men entered
his shop, Newton said. and told him
they did not like either his political
views or his manner Of airing them.
They ordered him to stop printing ana
distributing the pamphlets
The following night his shop was
placarded with Snith-for- President
signs. Some time after midnight last
night the shop was entered, and
ratrolman discovered the vandalism
while on his rounds early today.
The attack on Gov. Smith is cap
toned, When" 1t begins. When a

this vein for a number OF lines and

Then they can snap their fingers at a

1t was stated last night by James A.
Edgerton of Fort Lyon, Va. on his re-
turn TO Washington from Chicago.
where he was nominated for the vice
presidency on the dry ticket.
MIR, Edgerton declared that he felt II
necessary to place some Democrat on

against the present situation"
Personally. / had nothing to gain
and much TO lose by accepting the
prohibition nomination this year" he
stated last night, but felt that some
Democrat should be on that ticket as
protest against the present situation.
The prohibition ticket is a protest
against the lax enforcement of the law
and the threat to soft-pedal the issue
by at least one major party. We are
taking care that there shall be no divi-
sion Of the dry vote and our ticket will
gladly be withdrawn whenever we are
convinced that the cause will be de-
Tended and the law strengthened and
adequately enforced"
Mr. Edgerton denied published state
ments that he has been prohibitionist
all his life. declaring Il have never
been a party prohibitionist, but Demo-
crat. With one exception have sup
ported the Democratic ticket all my
life"
He explained that in 1896 and 1900
he was secretary of the Peoples party

VERDICT IN TEXAS
PARTY FIGHT NEAR
Court Indicates Early Deci-
sion in Test Case Brought by
Anti-Smith Faction.

fSE NnF ASSotlHhu
SAN ANTONIO. Tex. July 14.--The
tight Of Democratic candidates for State
Offices. who have announced they will
not support Gov. Alfred K. Smith, to
compel county committees to place their
names on Democratic primary ballots.
reached the Court OF Civil Appeals here
today.
Attorneys for Thomas B. Love, candi-
date for lieutenant governor and
former national committeeman asked
the court to overrule a decision OF a
District Court in Cameron County last
week which held that the Democratic
executive committee of that county was
justified in barring the name Of Love
from the primary ballot.
The court indicated that decision
would be given probably within few
days. Regardless of the decision, how
ever. the case, which is regarded ss
an important test of authority Of coun-
tv committees under the state election
laws is considered certain to GO to the
Supreme Court.
In addition to barring Mr. Loves
name. the Cameron County committee
declared the names OF Mrs. Edith VIII
mans and" Judge William Hawkins,
candidates for Governor. would not be
allowed on the ballot to be used in the
primary on July %. saying that the
candidates had forfeited their claims on
the party through their announced in
tentions to bolt the national Democratic
ticket.
Similar action has been taken by
committees in two other counties, and
still other committees have said they
were awaiting only the courts decision
In the Love case before taking steps
against the insurgents.
Arguing for Mr. Love. Marshall Hicks,
Loves attorney. declared that IF Love
is classed az bolter because he will
not vote for Smith, then Smith himself
is bolter because he bolted the plat
form of the national Democratic party
10 minutes after he had received the
nomination"
He referred to Gov. Smiths telegram
to the convention in which he men,
toned the prohibition question.
