cratic machinery. Dissenters must
either take orders or yield their posi-
tions to either new or old corners,
who will obey without question. In
surrection and manifest disloyalty
are being observed on all sides and
it will be something of job to COM

fore or even after the campaign is

The test of democracy is an oath
of allegiance to Al Smith, of New
York, and his pronounced policy to
modify the Eighteenth Amendment
by means of a modification of the
Volstead Act. This has resulted in
the practical withdrawal of the
"bone dry" element from the Demo-
cratic Party. Robinson, of Arkansas,
is all right with them, but Smith, of
New York; is all wrong by the same
process of reasoning.
The virtual Reputation of the
Prohibition plank in the platform
adopted at Houston, Texas, was
made by presidential candidate,
Alfred E. Smith, and emphasized by
the naming of John J. Raskob as
Democratic National Chairman. He,
in turn, declared himself to be in
favor of whiskey in the home, as IN
contra-distinction to whiskey in the
saloon or other public places. His
record became at once stencil
in the nostrils of Southern people
and a red flag in the eyes of the
Ku Klux Khan bull. He is recog
nized as a Republican and is a men,

Club of Philadelphia. Couple this
with the fact that he is devout

ernor Smith is: concerned are COM
plete.
The bands of the country can
make "There'll Be Hot Time In the
Old Town Tonight" a national
anthem for the duration of this cam
paign. Governor Smiths National
Committee officials announce that
the amount of contributions will not
be limited and that the Republican
suggestion that the expenditures
shall not exceed three million dol
lars in the entire country was prac-
tically treated with disdain. In the
meantime, the following question
was propounded:
Is is probable that Governor
Smiths campaign will cost more than
that of other Democratic presidential
candidates in recent years?
There may be factors which will
make it expensive, said Col. Lehman.
In my opinion every State in the
North, East and West may be con-
sidered debatable ground. That may
increase expense.
This, then tells the whole story.
The wet" element will furnish the

grease is to be obtained. VIII the
plans so successful in New York
State operate in the other parts of
the country. New York Republicans
elected CAP Smith Governor of that
State. Can New York Republicans
aided by those from other sections
of the country place him inside of
the White House of the nation? If

PERRY HOWARD'S
PREDICANrENT.

We read with much interest the
account of the indictment or Hon.
Perry W. Howard, the Republican
leader of Mississippi by grand jury
in that State upon charge OF con-
spiracy. We do not presume that
there is a criminal lawyer OF stand
ing in this country, pho does not
know that 4 charge of conspiracy Is
one Of the most difficult allegations
70 prove and for that reason is sci
dom appealed 10 save for the purpose
Of affecting soma other issues in
nending criminal case.
II is not alleged that Howard took
the money, but by the use of this
dragnet. So to speak, the effort Is
made TO supplqnt him in the political
campaign now pending and to place
in charge he "Lily-white element
which was defeated at the Repuoh-
can National Convention at Kansas
City. The blow is not only one armed
nj competent Negro leadership, but
ar the 'oldline" white Republicans
who have always affiliated win
co,ored men of the Perry w. How
ard type.
Similar tactics were resorted to III
rhc fight on Walter L. Cohen OF
Louisiana. The indictments were DIS
missed. The gratifying part Of the
whole business is that Perry W.
Howard is capable Of taking care OF
himself. He IS Il heightened, Christ
IAN gentleman. This kind of attacks
can have but one effect. A reaction
will he observable among the South
ern voting blacks, who have gone
into the Northern States and can
with telling effect give the Repuh'
lican leaders. Who tolerate this kind

If the Republicans care to risk tire
loss Of votes, in that section of the
country, where there is q prospec:
Of carrying . State for the national
cke- in orda, to pander to Negro
ratinq animosities in State, where
the electoral vote is already
for CAL" Smith, before vote has
teen cast INFO the ballot boxes OF
the nation. hen let them proceed TO
do it. Gentlemen, you had better call
CT your hounds, today; not tomorrow
CT the next day. You had better call
them off, today. Tomorrow or the
next day may pc roo late. "a hint
10 the wise IS suff' Gent" You had
better call them Of. today.
Colored p+op'e should stand
souarely behind Ferry W. Howard.
He is the centre figure, so far as
colored people il this country arr
concerned. today. He Is the Only
political leader that emerged from
the Republican National Convention
unscathed, u1atraid and with the
political power Of State within his
grasp. They side.uacked Walter L.

utilization OF IS acres adjoining the
highway at the northeast corner Of
the site as a natural park, and ap-
proxima Fly 25 acres TO the west TO
be developed as a tropical park. The
proposed municipal golf course
would be located on l26 acres ad-
joining the park site on the south.
Instructions we're also issued TO
Fark Commissioner II. B. Hinkley to
arrange with the contractor, who
has the contract for clearing 240
acres for the airport, to also clear
the as acres proposed as a natural
park, cleaning out the underbrush
and reserving such trees as neces-
sRry for Identification. The timber
growth along the northern edge of
the site is heavy, and members of
the commission asserted il could be
transformed into a park Of great
beauty. The tropical park would be
planted to palms and tropical orna-
mentals Of every variety suitable TO
the Valley climate.
Water for the parks and golf
course can be secured from the Fl
Jardin irrigation district. The ten
tative plans proposed the construc-
tion Of a reservoir which could ~
filled from the canals and would
supply water for the lawns, orna-
mentals, w.ding POOLS, bathing pool
and other purposes. Directors OF
the I'll Jardin district have extended
the assurance they will cooperate
with the city in any manner posi-
bic in connection with the park and
airport development.
Bids were received on automatic
pumps, water softener and other IA
cilities for the airport, but no con-
tract will be awarded until the bids
have been passed upon by army avi.
alton engineers. Mayor Cole was
instructed to write the commanding
officer Of the Eighth Corps area al

! gineer to Brownsville to confer with
the city commission and airport
manager upon the proposed improve.
ments and to pass upon the bids.
Plans for the administration

MOSCOW, July 13.-(Pl-Hope for

the bag Of the dirigible Italia on
May 25 and since given up for lost
has been revived by reports reach
ing Moscow indicating that the loca-
tion of the group is known.
General Tmberto Mobile, now az
Kings Bay, has sent a message 70
the rescue ship Krassin stating that
the group referred to as the "Jnales-
sapdri" party, was not far from the
present location of the Krassin.
Latest reports received in Moscow
indicated that the men were at a
point s0.45 north latitude and 30.3l
east longitude. This would place
them northeast OF Foyn Island, near
which the Niglieri group was res
cued.
With these reports, which we're
not confirmed, came a revival in
Moscow of belief that Roald Amund-
sen, the missing Norwegian explorer,
was likely to have Joined this group
in his flight from Norway to rescue
the stranded men. This theory was
first advanced BY Fridtjof Nansen
noted explorer, that Amundsen was
likely to have Joined this group.

DALLAS, Tex, July 13.-CPl-For
the second time within two days,
Thomas B. Love, candidate for lieu
tenant governor on the democratic
ticket, has met a reverse in his bat
tie against the regular democratic
organization which is seeking to
keep the state lined up for the ma
tional ticket headed by Governor
Alfred z. Smith Of New York.
The democratic executive commit
tee Of Galveston county followed in
the steps yesterday of the commit
tee in Cameron county by barring
names of Mr.. Love and Mrs. Edith
Wilmans and Judge William Hawk
ins, candidates for governor, from
the county ballot in the primary
July 2S on grounds that in refusing
to support Governor Smith they had
broken affiliations with the demo-
cratic party.
Mr.. Loves application for a man
damus 10 compel Cameron county to
place his name on the ballot has
been denied BY a district Judge in
that county. Mr.. Love filed an ap-
peal with the court Of civil appeals
at San Antonio, and a decision in
the case, which generally is regard
ed as a test of the state election
laws. is expected tomorrow.
The Galveston county committee
stated il took action against the
bolting candidates because they "are
openly and VIGOROUSLY violating
their party obligations and pledge"
Forces opposed to Governor Smith
we're heartened by the announce
ment Of Bishop John NJ. Moore. Of
the Methodist Episcopal church,
South, that he would vote for Her
bert Hoover for president. They
hailed his declaration as a possible
beginning of other high ehurchmen
TO get behind vigorously the cam
paign which will be launched short
~ in an effort to take Texas into
the republican camp next November
for the first time since the Civil

The Anti-Saloon league of Texas
jumped into the fight against Smith
by appealing to Texas voters to cast
their ballots for that great Ameri-
can and Christian gentleman, COM
mitted by principle and action to
our cause, Herbert Hoover"
An accretion to the power of the

kidnapped last night from the home
Of his mother here, was found unhurt
in a Coral Gables vacant house today
by persons living next door who
heard him pounding on the door Of
a closet in which he was locked. The
child said his kidnapers were "fat

An hour before the boy was
brought home Mrs. 4. q. McAllister.
his grandmother. a wealthy Miami
hotel owner. had completed arrange
ments for paying $4,000 ransom asked
for his return.
Her decision came after a second
telephone call to the McAllister home
from a man who said the abductors
would return Billy to his home in
an automobile provided $1,000 in cash
was available for Immediate exchange
and police were not summoned TO the
vicinity.
Fearful for the safety Of the boy
the grandmother and the widowed
mother, Mrs. May McAllister, re-
quested police to halt their investi-
cation and made ready to meet the
demands of the kidnapers.
The child could give only a meagre
description of his abductors and
police were not hopeful that the in
formation could be used to advantage
in running them down.
Billy was stolen from his ground
floor bedroom about $3.50 o'clock last
night while only his grandmother was
in the house. She heard the child
scream and rushed to the bedroom
only TO find him missing and the
window screen propped open.

up the seven whose deaths in the

by turns during their stay in the
death house, the condemned men
were reduced BY fear to condition
bordering upon collapse as midnight
approached.
Man IS Is First
Although there was no clock gong
to sound the hours, the prisoners
sensed the time and all talk died
away long before the death march
started at 1915. With heads sup
ported in cupped hands, they sat 81
lent, their bodies shaken by chills
despite the intense heat in the squat
stone house that had been their
home in prison. In plain view was
the execution chamber and the
chair.
The white men went to the chair
first, Milford RED" Lawson, 35,
Corbin, KY, leading the way. He
said he was ready to forgive every

He was dead three minutes later.
The murder Of a neighbor in his
mountain county had brought him
there.
Orlando Seymour, 81, Louisville,
was the second. A dramatic attempt
TO obtain a stay for him last night
had failed and he met his fate ap-

he told his cell companions that he
