MORE AND MORE LIKE SMITH AND
 HOOVER.

Minnesota Democrats have joined the Demo- crats of Alaska and New Hampshire in instruct ing their delegates to the Houston convention to support Gov Al Smith for the Democratic Presidential nomination. It is believed that near ly all of the other Western States will follow suit. Missouri and some of the nearby States are likely to send delegates to the convention who for Senator Reed and Montana may in struct her delegates for Senator Walsh. How ever. it is believed that the Missouri delegates will vote for Gov. Smith whenever he shall have received majority vote in the convention, and it is thought that the Montana delegates and many of the Reed delegates from other States than Missouri will not wait that long before making it known that they like the New York Governor very well-that they regard him a very close second choice The indications are growing daily that Gov. Smith will receive the necessary two thirds vote early ballot in the convention
 It is almost as clearly apparent that Seere tary Hoover is the favorte for the Republican nomination. His chance for party leadership is not quite bright however, that of Gov. Smith in the Democratic Party for the reason that he has formidable contestants to over come But it must be admitted by his opponents that at the present time the situation in the Republican Party is Hoover against the field.

EMPIRE STATES CLASSICAL NAMES

There has been considerable discussion first and last among those interested in the matter as to who is responsible for the plethora of classical names borne by New York cities and towns. People have wondered how Albion, Athens, Auburn Ithaca, Nassau, Pamyria, Rome Syra-| cuse Troy, Utica and Warsaw to name the clas- sical cognomens of some of the more prominent towns of New York, came about in pioneer country settled, usually, by unlettered trappers farmers and other brands of frontiersmen
 Most of those taking part in the discussion look upon the prevalence of classical names in the Empire State some sort of a misfortune And the list is so large that it was accepted from the beginning that there must have been a definite source for the scores of ancient names in a single State.
 In the course of the discussion, which began more than century ago. responsibility was traced to number of persons all of whom. however, were able to produce alibis. The famous Gov George Clinton first executive of the State after independence and later Vice President under Jenerson, was forced to deny that he had any thing to do with it. Surveyor-Gen eneral Simeon De Witt was the next to declare that accusations that he had earned some of the discredit were erroneous. For generations thereafter the blame was handed down elusive somebody.
 However now the matter has been set at rest Prof. Rockwell of the New York State Teachers, College at Buffalo seems to have solved the oues tion. He has fixed the stigma upon a Robert Harpur, an early American educator who served as Secretary of the Land office Commission dur ing the days shortly following the Revolutionary War. The circumstance that he designated 2s townships with classical names in one fell sween seems to be evidence that the real culprt has been discovered.
 It Is worthy of note that when Mir Harpur 4
The Daily Alaska empire., 1928-03-20

finally settled down to live his last days he did not go to his Latin books for name for his own home town. He died at a ripe age in Harpursville in Southern New York more than a century ago.
 After all, it is not certain that MT. liar purs crime was severe transgression. The names he gave places that afterward developed into important communities will compare favor ably with some of those of names that are far from classical For instance we do not see that Athens suffers when her classical name is compared with that of Cigarville or that Rome needs to blush when she is listed alongside of Painted Post

TOURISTS PRAISE FLOWER AND AGRICULTURAL SHOWS

 Visitors at the Southeastern AL aska Fair last night from the Dorothy Alexander were enthuslas- tic in their praise of the floral and agricultural exhibits. Many of the 12 or 15 people from the steamer who attended the Fair commented that they had seen nothing in California to equal in beauty the flowers shown at the Fair, or the large, smooth vege- tables. In response to requests for pansies to press, the commit tee members graciously presented the party with several. The visl- tors said that their friends and families in the south would never believe that the lovely large flow CTS were grown in Alaska.
