MOODY Wins
Lame VICTORY
WRITER Says
Was Forced to Offend
Friends In Order to
Keep His Promise to
Voters

HOUSTON, Texas, May 26.-Dar
Moody won q victory az the Beaumont
convention, but il is q safe guess that
the governor would prefer that the
situation had never arisen whereby
he had to put up the fight he did.
Now that the convention Is over
and we analyze IL carefully, we find
the governor in an awkward position.
best personal friends, and did il with
the aid of men whom he did not like.
and he did it by supporting q meas
ure contrary to his principles.
Whether or not, in doing that.
Moody did the noble thing will al
ways be a subject Of argument, ae-
eording to the lights Of the debaters.
Dan was l\waen the devil and the
deep sea. tie had to choose between
keeping a promise TO the people OF
Texas and supporting a principle. He
elected to keep his promise.
This writer would not have done
as Dan did in the same situation. He
would have supported the principle
Of letting the districts select their
own delegates to the Houston conven-
ton. Dams real friends were on that
side, and the principles Of Jeffer-
sonian democracy were on that side.
But Dan Moody's action in doing
all possible 70 keep his promise TO the
people that II they would support his
program an anti-Smith delegation
would be sent to Houston is to be
commended. IL took rare courage to
permit himself to be crucified on the
cross Of his friends because Of a high
or obligation which he felt to the peo-
PIE of Texas. II took a courage which
few people possess. He threw his sup
port ct the final moment TO a minori-
~ report which he knew had been
written by Tom Love. whom he re-
cards as his political arch enemy. He
threw IL against Steve Pickney. Bob
Holiday. Dick Fleming and a dozen
friends Of his school boy days-be-
cause he thought he was right.
The convention was a delightful
display Of fair play throughout. es-
pecially IN comparison with the khan
controlled convention Of four years
ego, when the will of the khan was
all that msttered. Tom Ball. Cone
Johnson, Jake Wolters. Dan Moody.
and finally and especially John
Boyle Of San Antonio played fair. IN
fact, John Boyle came out OF that
convention the idol Of his friends. the
admired Of the neutral observers and
the respected Of his enemies.
II was John Boyle who. when he
realized that a Ferguson-Smith COM
bination. in which he could have held
high place. threatened the political
life Of his friend. threw his weight in
the balance for Dan Moody. II was
John Boyle who helped the governor
defeat the Love demand that the del
eEation vote against al Smith, calling
the New York governor BY name.
Finally John Boyle expected the gov
r 70 support the principle for

which he already had snnouneed-that
Of local self government and Of per-
hitting the districts 70 name their
" delegates.
When Moody took the position
which he admitted was inconsistent
end took IL because he had no better
guarantees that the delegation would
be anti-Smith. John Boyle did not
fly into q towering rage, nor charge
crookedness. He was hurt. He was
like N sensitive child that had been
wrongly punished. But he took his
defeat like = mana defeat that was
headed straight toward victory until
the governor took the floor in the
middle Of the voting and announced
his position.

Motor World To
Have Price War
By United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, Jan. THE motor
world today unveiled its 1928 crea-
tions and introduced them to the
American public as the greatest val
ues in automobile industry.
With the opening of the National
Automobile Show at Grand Central
Palace, the nations motor kings
formally began Il campaign of SELL
ing which promised to shatter all
records of competition.
No doubt existed as to where. the
competition would be hottest. 1t
will be in the small car field, which
in the last week has become the
battle-ground of long-awaited price
war between four of America s
greatest motor magnates.
Automobile men from all over the
country were virtually unanimous
today in the prediction that before
the end of 1928 the price slashing
foud would exceed in its sensational
developments anything the industry
has ever known.
The new year, they agreed, will
be truly memorable one for the
small salaried motorist.

new YORK PLAN
SUGGESTED FOR
BOULDER DAM
Method Used to Finance
Projects Urged For
Colorado Problem.
by United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. - New
York and New Jerseys experience
in financing great public projects
through the joint New York port
authority was explained to the
house irrigation committee today
and urged as a model for financing
the Boulder Dam Canyon project.
Julius II. Corn, New York port
authority counsel, told the commit
tee such plan would protect the
power consumer better than either
federal government or private con
troll.
Even under regulation imposed on
privately owned public utility cor
porations now, Corn explained, the
consumer has to pay more than he
should.
He pointed out that the port au-
thority, though its principle was de-
rided at first, has successfully fin
anced numerous projects, including
the Holland tunnel under the Hud-
son by selling bonds at an increas-
ingly low rate and paying them off
out of profits. This, he explained,
requires no levy on the taxpayers
and no obligations of state govern
ment.
Representative Davenport, (R),
New York, who has embodied this
financing plan for Boulder Dam in
bin, urged speedy authorization Of
the project by Congress.

widely-heralded insanity plea of Will

here today.
With the departure of Defense
Attorney Jerome Walsh for Kansas
City, last night, practically all in

ing the state, Walsh carried with
him commission authorizing the
taking of testimony in the trial by
any officer competent to administer
an oath.
The commission was signed late

attorney and defense counsel elimin-
ating time-consuming red tape in
relations to taking dispositions.
Under the stipulation, whoever is
selected to take testimony will be

dence and dramatic clashes over the
admissability of evidence between
Walsh and Costello is predicted.
