CITY Convention

Washington, June 2.-The Wom-
en- OF America, constituting 49 per
cent Of the eligible electorate, will
be represented at the 1928 Republi-
can convention by less than six per
cent Of the delegates. Final returns
from all states except West Viz
ginia show a total OF 81 Republican
women delegates, in a total of 1889
as compared to 120 with Ill votes at
Cleveland four years ago.
Women alternates this year will
number 239, exclusive Of West Eir-
ginia. as compared to 279 in 1924.
This brings the number OF women
who will have seats in the conven-
tion hall up to 303, or about Is per
cent of the total representation.
Four years ago 500 women were
delegates or alternates.
Although several states have GER
titled large number of women as
alternates, Missouri having an al
most wholly feminine alternate slate,
fifteen States will have no women
delegates, and five states, four terri
tories and the District of Columbia
will send no women at all, either

Highlights of Political Activity of
Both Major Parties Summarized

Quartet of Southern States Will
Control Houston?

Washington special OF June l to
Greensboro Daily News: Judge Cor
dell Hull told a Daily News represen-
tative today that the key to the stu
alton by which, in his judgment,
Governor Smith should, and prob
ably will be defeated for the Demo-
cratic nomination for president at
the Houston convention, is held by
seven southern Democratic leaders.
They are Senators Swanson and
Glass, and Governor Byrd of Vir-
ginia; Senator Blease and Governor
Richards of South Carolina, and
Governor Graves and National Com
mitteeman Carmichael of Alabama.
If these southern Democratic lead
ers Fundamentally join Senator
Simmons, throwing Virginia, South
Carolina and Alabama with North
Carolina in the fight against the
nomination Of Smith before the
Houston convention meets, Judge
Hull declared the nomination Of the
New York governor would be i'm
possible.
Judge Hull said that these seven
men held in the hollow o. their
hands the delegations of their re-
spective states that would go to the
Houston convention. The Virginia
state convention meets at Roanoke
only five days in advance Of the
Houston convention, but the two
Virginia senators and Governor
Byrd know right now who the dele
gates will be, and whom they are
likely to support at Houston. The
South Carolina delegates already Sc
lected are Blease-R Richards men and
will support the candidate these two
men advise. The same is true in
Alabama where Governor Graves
and Mr.. Carmichael are in control
Judge Hull said the above rAmed
leaders are all dry and antiSmith,
and are known to be in sympathy
with the position taken by Senator
Simmons. But to make Smiths de-
feat absolutely certain the psycholo-
gical moment is close at hand when
these leaders should speak out as
Simmons has done. If they do, the
effect, observed the judge, will be
electrical among the anti-Smith men
in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Okla
homa, Utah, and in fact, in every
state where delegates who are op-
posed to Smith, but without stiffen-
ing of morale, might be swept under
his banner. He said he was in pos
session of information that led him
to believe that over half of the dele
gates of the convention could be
marshaled against the nomination OF
the New York governor if the south
ern leaders would now back Senator
Simmons.

DEMONSTRATION SCHOOL

The Boone Demonstration school
opened Tuesday, with & fine corps
of teachers for the sumner work.
All children who are conditioned on
any work are urged to attend dur
ing the summer in order to remove
these conditions. All beginners who
will enter the first grade at any
time before Christmas are urged to
attend this summer. By attending
during this summer the little folks
will be in much better position to
make the grade during the year, as
the winter weather always interferes
with the attendance Of the little
folks.
Two teachers, Miss Madelyn Lam
kin, of last years faculty. and
Miss Lucille Bolyn of the Charlotte
city schools, will be in charge of the
first grade during the summer. AL
children expecting to enter for the
summer are urged to Go SO at once.
