children who have been able to read

The teachers insist that the method is

that there is not more cooperation be-

Between Smith, Reed and

BY the Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, May with fair
weather forecast as an aid TO turning
cast their ballots in the presidential
primary for three Democratic candi-
iates, Republican and prohibitionist
The three-sided Democratic contest
was between Gov. Alfred E. Smith OF
New York. Senator James A. Reed Of
Missouri and Senator Thomas j. Walsh
of Montana To the victor. political
forecasters declared. may so the nomi-
naticn at Houston In June
The Democratic race Is so uncertain
that 1t possibly. but not probably, may
result In the election of split ticket.
Thirty delegates viii be elected, eight
being delegates at large and having
only half vote each.
Last May Be High.
II is possible for the last delegate on
one candidates ticket TO receive more
sotes than the high candidate on an op-
position ticket. Observers said there
was a bare possibility OF the three
Democrats dividing the IS votes.
Herbert Hoover, favorite son, was
unopposed In his bid for the 20 Repub-
liean delegates to the Kansas City con-
vention. Daniel A. Polling OF New York
prohibition candidate, also had no OPP
position for his party's 80 delegates.
Democratic managers issued state
ments today declaring their candidates
would win, while supporters Of Secre-
tary Hoover appealed TO the Republican
TO roll up a huge vote for Its effect
throughout the country.
That the result of the Democratic
contest will be in doubt until the last
ballots are counted was the opinion ex-
pressed by most observers.
Two Bond Issues.
The Democrats have a total registra-
ton of 465. .T93, an increase Of i26,A93
since four years ago. The Republican
registration Is l,245,5lA. compared with
i.0i2.701 four years ago. an increase Of
24i.8l3.
Bond issues also were on the primary
ballots, San Francisco voting ON two
issues for bonded indebtedness OF S65,-

chasing the Spring Valley Water Co.
and Los Angeles voting on a $4,000. 600

chimes are used, the polls open at am,
