Gov. SMITH FAVORS
RADIO CAMPAIGN
Plans to Use Air to Reach
Wider Field and Avoid
Voice Strain.

BY the Associated Press,
NEW YORK. August 24.~There will
BE- no open-air campaigning for Gov
Smith If he can help 1t. The radio has
too much appeal for him.
This idea is being impressed upon the
Democratic presidential nominee con-
stantly by his political associates. al
though he personally is known to have
felt for some time the futility of con-
ducting an extensive outdoor speech
making tour when such modern means
as the radio. with It's voice saving quail
tiles is available.
The governor has had considerable
experience with the old custom of lit
orally taking the stump and extending
the voice in an effort to reach the
fringe of the crowd He has cam
paigned FIVE times for governor and
many more times IN lesser political
roles But he also has seen candidates
come and go simply because they had
worn themselves out by their outdoor
tactics at what he considers the most
important period of any campaign
the last week or two.
No Oid-time Stumping.
Whether Smith adheres strictly TO an
indoor speaking program, of course,
depends upon the availability of broad
casting facilities, but 1t is certain, his
friends emphasize, that the campaign
now under way will see no counterpart
OF the old stumping days of Bryan and
Roosevelt and others who at times,
made as many as 20 or 20 speeches
day TO field audiences.
In covering his itinerary about the
country. and there Is growing evidence
that IL will be real swing. Gov. Smith

Sly Mouse Is Ghost
 Of Yellowstone Hotel

YELLOWSTONE PARK. Wyo., June 23-At six o'clock of every cold, raw, winter evening a bell in room 203 of the old Fountain Hotel would ring.
 Every night at six o'clock a frightened, but conscientious care taker made his cautious way to room 203, only to find it empty
 Finally even the caretaker's 3 earnestness could not stand the spectral twilight calls, and he fled the hotel in the company of a park photographer.
 The old hotel was remodeled the next spring, and the workers found that mouse had made it's nest in the wall of room 203 over the wire leading to the bell. 1t had nibbled off the insulation so that every time it touched it the bell rang. The regularity of the ghostly rings testify to the ex- cellent character of the rodent.
 Even this explanation has not entirely put down the evil repu- tation of the hotel and natives park rangers and general park employees have held for 20 years to their belief in the haunt" i" Demolition of the building his spring, however, is expected to lay the ghost forever.

FISHERMEN ARE ANGRY AT HINT
 ABOUT LIQUOR
Deny Volstead Act Diverts Fish to Prince
 Rupert

SEATTLE, June 23ZThe recent Good Will excursion to Alaska left trail of oagry halibut fish ermen all the way from SewarI south, according to H. F. Looken, Manager of the Fishing Vessels Owners Association of Seattle and Ketchikan.
 The interview with Darwin Meisnest, spokesman of the party dealing with the purported trend of eastern shipments of halibut through Prince Rupert, and inti- mating that the Volstead Act di- verted the shipments from Ket- chikan, caused the protest.
 Meisnest declared that the words were misconstrued and the remarks about the "VolsteaG Act was made in a jocular vein and he did not intend to offend the fishermen.
 Looken said the fishermen must deliver their catches where they can get the most money and the excursion party did not stay long enough in Ketchikan to learn that halibut sold there goes east through Prince Rupert. The yes sel owners resent the insiIuations that halibut is sold at Prince Ru. pert because liquor is obtainable. Halibut fishing is too serious a business for that"

Reed Arrives on Scene Senator George There
 -Indiana's Lineup

HOUSTON, Texas, June z3.- A series of conferences of South ern Democratic leaders started yesterday in an effort to halt Smiths candidacy and nomina- tion. They are faced with quick action if they are to head-off the candidate whose foe concede he is within 100 votes of the nom- ination.
 The Southern leaders made a thorough canvas of the delegate situation assessing tential strength against Smith. Daniel Roper, of North Carolina, former Internal Revenue Commissioner, and William G. McAdoo's lieuten- ant four years ago, appeared to be the moving spirit to get the elements unreconciled to Smith to go to someone else.
 Reed on Scene
 United States Senator James A. Reed arrived here last night and he Is full of confidence. He was given a hearty reception at his headquarters in the Rice Hotel.
 Senator Reed conferred today with his political advisors who informed him that apparently only vigorous concerted drive could head off Smith and that such a counter attack had been launched by party leaders from the South.
 Senator Reed gave no indica4 tion he will abandon his usual practice of playing lone hand.
 Indiana's Stand
 The anti-Smith forces are heartened today by the statement issued by A. c. Sallee, personal representative of Evans Woollen, Indiana's favorite son, that dele gates from the State will remain 'steadfastly and Loyalty behind the Indianapolis banker until candidate has been chosen by the convention.
 Smith opponents said the man. agers of Smith had counted on the strength from Indiana in the final drive.
 Prohibition Issue
 Decided opposition to modifica- ticn or weakening of the present Prohibition measures was voiced here last night by Cordell Hull, who has the endorsement of his State, Tennessee, for the Presi- dency.
