MADISON. Wis, April With the

the wisconsin delegates to the Demo-
cratic and Republican National con-
ventions selected, the attention OF
political leaders in wisconsin is now
being focused on the contests TO be
decided next Fall in the September

rated by the Democrats. he viii re-
ceive a larger vote In Wisconsin next

in many years. Smith easily won all
of the IS delegates from Wisconsin at

contest between two states OF smith

publican ticket.

II Herbert Hoover should be NOM
mated by the Republicans. indications
are that Smith viii receive a larger
vote than If the Republicans nominate
some candidate from the Middle West.
Reports frosA various sections OF the
State are TO the effect that the people
of German descent are opposed TO
Hoover, and tSat in the agricultural
sections Hoover Is not a popular can
didate. AS a result OF the showing
made by the conservative candidates
az Tuesdays delegate election, there
will be more delegates from Wisconsin
opposed 10 the La Toilette progress
slVes at the Republican convention al
Kansas City than there have been at a
Republican convention since 1916.
At that convention the La Toilette
group had IA delegates and the con-
seryatives II delegates. In 1920 the
progresSives won all but two delegates,
and In 1924 all but one. At these
three previous conventions progressives
supported the late Senator Robert M.
La Toilette for President. This year
they are pledged TO Senator Norris Of
Nebraska, while most OF the conserya-
tive delegates win go 10 the conyen-
ton uninstructed. Senator Robert M.
La Toilette piled up substantial Lead
over ali other candidates for delegates

TEXAS DEMOCRATS
FAVOR DRY PLANK
Smith Serves as Target for
Speakers at Harmony"
Conference.
BY the Associated Press.


DALLAS, Texas April Texas
Democratic leaders at harmony
| conference today went on record In
favor of a strong prohibition plank in
the national party platform and recon-
mended that the States delegation be
instructed to vote for presidential
candidates who support such plank.
Gov. Smith Of New York served
as the target for broadsides from sew
eral speakers, including Gov. Moody
of Texas. who voiced outSpoken opposi-
ton to the candidacy OF the New York
executive
His candidacy, as expounded by his
chief supporters, is based upon the fact
that he is opposed to prohibition and
upon the theory that his opposition to
prohibition will carry certain votes in
the North and East which would other
wise be Republican" said Gov Moody.
In other words, 1t Is the hope
OF his candidacy to produce revolt in
the Republican party. as against which
hoped for revolt we have a threatened
revolution within the Democratic party
III the South. To my mind the sound
ness OF such political psychology Is
more than open to serious doubt"
Dry Stand Is Issue.
Most of the voters will make up their
minds as to Gov Smiths candidacy
because Of his position upon the sub
iect of prohibition. The chief argu-
n1ent for his nomination is expediency
and that Is contrary to the best tradi-
tions of Democracy. he declared.
NJ. NJ Crane of Dallas, who delivered
the keynote speech. declared he wanted
platform which would bind the Fed
eral Government TO prohibition en-
forcement. The nomination OF AL
Smith would be most unfortunate" he
said. His main opposition to the New
York Governor was that II he were
nominated. his attitude on prohibition
would obscure the main issue, that of
the scandal within the ranks Of the
Republicans"
Harmony Is Sought.
The meeting was called by party
leaders for the announced purpose of
restoring harmony and organizing an
association to be called the Democrats
Of Texas" The organization wishes TO
bring about harmony with the faction
known as constitutional Democrats, +"
which has been campaigning for in
structions to the Texas delegation TO
support prohibition plank and to vote
in the convention against any candi-
dates not known TO be in favor of such
planks.
Those meeting today agreed with the
other faction on the desirabilitv of
strong prohibition plank but opposed
the negative instructions advocated by
the constitutional Democrats.

Blacksmith of Gretna Green Pronounced My

Gretna Green's marrying black
smith is the newest sacrifice to his
torical research. Before the Institute
of France the report was recently
made, after considerable delving into
original sources, that this romantic
detail in English written history. still
appearing in reference books, was
purely mythical.
Gretna Green, between 1854 and
1856, after England abolished clande-
slime marriage, was place where
runaway couples could be legally we'd
died. Living just north of the border
in Scotland, 1t enabled clippers to take
their vows before any resident of the
village-tollkeeper, ferryman, soldier
or smuggler. But there was no black
smith.
Checking up the French savant. the
Manchester Guardian learns that his
discovery is true. Correspondents OBJ
tanned from the oldest inhabitants of
Gretna Green the origin of the empty
legend: An artist when commissioned
to paint sign for the dollhouse inn
put blacksmith in the wedding pic;
ture for the sake of symbolism. hop
ing to emphasize the durability Of the
link that was being forged. His SYM
boism passed into tradition and so In.
to history.
Doubt is expressed, however, wheth.
er fact can efface the artists concept.

ar,illa Waters Served
With Drinks II, Summer

To serve with iced tea, grape juice,
orangeade, or any other cooling drink
on the porch this summer, you will
want some easily made cookies or
small cakes. Nothing could be nicer
for this purpose than vanilla waters,
which are made more easily than or
binary cookies because they do not
have to be rolled and cut out. They
are also excellent for serving with
afternoon tea, or with ice cream or
punch at parties. The following recipe
from the bureau of home economics
has been carefully tested:
~ cup butter "a tsp. salt
X cup sugar tsp. vanilla
IN cups flour tbs. milk
/ tsp. baking pow, ! egg
der
Cream the butter and sugar, add
the well-beaten egg, the milk, and the
sifted dry ingredients, then the vanil-
la. Drop by half-teaspoonfuls on a
lightly creased baking sheet, allowing
room to spread. Bake In a moderate
oven tabout $50 degrees Fahrenheit)
for eight to ten minutes or until the
edges are golden brown.

What had surprised me was the
number Of white women in camp.
counted thirty wives of soldiers. In
addition to these there were Croghan's
sixty Iroquois women and children.
Thus the noncombatants made very
respectable showing and used up
much of our provisions; and we were
not well supplied with food. After
our first high spirits had subsidized a
bit, we began to notice something else
that might become very serious. The
regulars, upon whom Braddock de-
pended-almost exclusively - were
falling Ill In large numbers. They had
been herded on transports and had
been deprived of fresh provisions.
Meat was the principal item of food
on the creek and 1t was oversalted.
The result might have been foreseen.

many woodsmen hocking to the creek,

Explaining the Wind

The blowing of the wind is owing
to the presence of more air at one
place than at others. This causes a
push from the places of more air to.
ward those of less, and the greater
this difference in quantity of air the
greater the push. and the faster the
winds. Now, II is difference in TEN.
perature that causes the difference in
the accumulation of air; in March the
difference in temperature between the
southern and northern portions of the
United States is greater than at any
other time of the year, hence the diff.
ference In atmospheric pressure be.
tween these regions is then greatest and
the resulting winds strongest. These
winds are not mainly north and south.
as the pressure is. but from west to
east. This is owing to the effect OF
the rotation of the earth, In way

SYNOPSIS

Impoverished by the open
handed generosity of his father,
Virginia gentleman, young Web
ster Brond is serving as a scout
and spy for the army under Gen.
eral Braddock preparing for the
advance on Fort Duquesne. He
has just returned to Alexandria
from a visit to the fort, where,
posing as a Frenchman, he has
secured valuable information.
Braddock, bred to European war;
fare, fails to realize the impor-
lance Of the news. Brond is sent
back to Fort Duquesne, also
bearing a message to George
Croghan, Enlish emissary among
the Indians. Brond joins his
friend and fellow scout, Round
Paw, Indian chief, and they set
out. On the way they fall in with
a typical backwoodsman, Balsar
Cromit, who joins them. The
party encounters q group of set
tiers threatening a young girl,
Elsie Dinwold, whom they accuse
Of witchcraft. Brond saves her
from them. The girl disappears.

PRINT DRESS BEST
FOR MORNING WEAR
Garment Can Be Made at
Home at Small Cost.

(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
In every wardrobe there should be
several easily Numbered dresses for
summer morning wear. These can be
made at home at small cost from
charming cotton printed fabrics, and
If the colors chosen and the designs
Of the dresses are suitable, they can
be worn on the street or at business
in warm weather. Printed zephyrs,
batiste and dimity are some of the
best fabrics to choose for the crisp,
dainty, cool effect one desires no
matter how high the thermometer
climbs.
The illustration, taken by the bureau
