New Yorker May Win on First Ballot Is Way Sup
 porters See Situation

WASHINGTON, May By hia sweeping victory in the California primaries Goy. Alfred F. Smith has passed the first big test of his strength and Secretary Her. bert Hoover stimulated the hopes of his supporters by polling tre- mendous vote.
 In bagging California's 26 con vention votes, Gov. Smith brought his claimed total of elected dele gates to 494, or 339h short of a two'thirds majority necessary for the nomination His claims to 70 of these delegates have been dis puted.
 Balloting has brought the total Democratic delegates selected 50 far to G70, or 6312 less than the two-thirds majority, with 430 yet to be chosen with Virginias con vention, the last on the calendar, set for June 21.
 The 20 votes Hoover gained in California boosted his total claim ed elected delegates to 396 or 149 less than the required 545 to con trol the convention. Hoover's claims to 15S of these delegates are disputed. Hoover's nearest opponent, former Gov Frank 0. Lowden, claims 239 elected dele gates. n , opponents dispute his claim to 66 of these. The Repub- licans have selected S35 delegates with 254 yet to be chosen.
 May Be Smith First Ballot
 As the supporters of Gov. Smith size up the situation there is T chance that he may be nominated on the first ballot They figHre that tile s'favorite som" Vii ebc placed in nomination but if Gov. Smith, during the first roll call. polls more than a majority some of these fayorite son delegations, not unfrendly to him, will be ready to switch before the an nouncement of the result making for victory on the first ballot.
 There are indications, however that some of the delegations, if this move is attempted, might stand fast in opposition to Gov. Smith. His foes are counting on the following delegations and parts of delegations to make up bloc against him:
 Alabama IS, Georgia 2S, Indi- ana 30, Kansas 20, Kentucky 26, Mississippi 20, Missouri 36. North Carolina &24, South Carolina IS, Tennessee 24, Texas 40 and Vir- ginia 24.
 They are also counting upon in definite parts of the delegations from Arkapsas, Florida and Penn sylvania for assistance.

 The Wyoming delegation of six will be selected May IA. Five of Wyoming's counties which held conventions yesterday to select delegates to the State convention instructed their delegations for Gov. Smith.

 With vote approximately

 James A. Reed and Senator
 Thomas J. Walsh, Gov. AL
 fred E. Smith swept the
 Democratic primary in Cali
 fornia yesterday and garner
 ed 26 more votes in the race
 for the Presidential nomina-
 tion at Houston. There was
 no contest in the Republican
 primary but in spite of that the Republicans boiled more
 than twice as many votes for
 Herbert Hoover as were poll
 ed in the Demoertic primary
 for all the candidates.
 Supporters of Gov. Smith her aid the overwhelming victory which he received in the three cornered race in the Democratic primary here as forerunner of what is going to happen at Hous- ton and California Republicans asserted that the huge vote roll ed up for Herbert Hoover, who had no opposition, presaged his nomination at Kansas City.
 Returns from 6.77O precincts out of s,753 in the State, give Gov. smith 11s,102. Senator Reed .4s.9Ss and Senator Walsh sS,- @093.
 The light vote for Senator Walsh, the only candidate in either party that made a fight as dry, and the triumphant victory of Gov. Smith is hailed as an indication that California has turned into the wet column after ranking as dry State for years
 The Democratic primary has been called a fight of giants on account of the standing of those regarded as the local leaders of the factions. Former Senator James D. Phelan was the Smith leader. William Randolph Hearst was regarded as the Reed leader and William G. McAdoo led the fight for Walsh.

Doctor at 83 Found People
Preferred His Prescription

The basis of treating sickness
has not changed since DR.. Cald-
we'll left Medical College in 1875,
nor since he placed on the market
the laxative prescription he had
used in his practice known to
druggists and the public since 1892,
as DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
Then, the treatment of consti-
patton, biliousness, headaches,
mental depression, Indigestion,
sour stomach and other indispo-
sitions that result from constipa-
ton was entirely by means of Sim
pie vegetable laxatives, herbs and
roots. These are still the basis of
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
which is a combination Of SIENNA
and other mild laxative herbs, with
| pepsin.
DIR. Caldwell did not approve of
drastic physics and purgcs. He
did not believe they were good for
human beings TO put into their
system. If grown people want to
use them, no one can deny them
the privilege, but they should
never be given to children.
The simpler the remedy for con-
stipation, the safer for the child
and for you, and the better for the
general health of all. And as you
can get results in a mild and safe
way by using DIR. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, why take chances with
strong drugs? All drug stores
have the generous bottles.
II Many is the family today that
makes it a rule always to have a
bottle of this perfect preparation
in the house. Keep it handy and
observe these three simple rules OF
health: Keep the head cool, the
