JACKSON. Miss. June 23.-In-
creased al Smith sentiment is evident
IN Mississippi, following the Repub-
lican national convention, at which the
negro delegation from this State won
recognition
The control of Perry w. Howard. coll
ored lawyer. of the Republican patron
age IN the State has caused much wav-
erlng IN the anti-Sntth Democrats.
Despite the spasmodic opposition Of
few Democratic leaders, who lost out
at the start of the convention to in
struct against Smith, the belief is grow
ing that the uninstructed delegation to
Houston viii support Smith early in
the ballcting. More than half the del
egation is claimed for Smith and the
delegation viii vote as a unit
Among the delegates are United
States Senators Pat Harrison and HUI
bert Stephens, Gov. Bilbo and Speaker
Tenn Bailey Of the Mississippi House.
Biioo declared against Smith for po-
1itscal effect. Harrison and Stephens
have been non committal, urging party
loyalty and harmony. Bailey has been
silent. An interview credited TO
Stephens this week belittling Smith has
been discredited and the Senator, In a
quiet race for denomination, continues
to urge party harmony.
Because Of the racial issue as ap-
piled TO Mississippi, there is no doubt
but that the State win go Democratic
at the general election.

HOUSTONPLATFORM.
ST|RS c. 0. P. FEARS.
Republicans Hope Little viii
Be Promised on Farm
Relief.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

To say that the Republicans gathered
here are interested" In what may hap
pen at Houston is to describe mildly a
curiosity that amounts almost TO appre-
henSion.
They know, of course, or they feel
sure. that Gov. Smith will be nominated.
But what will be the Democratic plat
form? The Republicans are not anxious
to make prohibition an issue because 1t
is difficult to handle in the large East
ern States where the big electoral votes
must be obtained. They also are hope
full that the Democrats will not promise
too much on farm relief. That might
prove embarrassing in the Western
States where the Republicans feel this
time they must not lose single elec-
toral vote SO as to make up any losses
in the East.
The Democrats are we'll aware of
these apprehensions, and when it comes
to writing farm plank, they will be
confronted by the same division that
troubled the committee on resolutions
at Kansas City, namely: Shall the
equalization fee and the McNary-
Haugen bill be mentioned and approved
or shall a general objective be stated?
Farmers Await Stand.
The Republicans at Kansas City
were embarrassed because they had to
support the presidential veto. The
Democrats, however, know the equaliza-
ton fee Is the cruX of the controversy.

sembled, 1t Is stated In addition to
the rodeo, base ball and theaters there
are what we term In Washington
points Of interest" These include the
oil fields, not far away, and the park
which marks the battle-ground of San
Jacinto, where Gen. Sam Houston and
his Texans slew 900 Mexicans and cap
tured 600 more, thus making Texas
safe for democracy today
But such subjects as these have to
do only with the convention. In Hous-
ton they like to talk about the re-
markable growth of the city and the
civic pride and industriousness of the
citizens. They are proud of their tall
buildings They are proud of their
ship channel, constructed on a fifty
fifty basis, with the Federal Govern
ment furnishing half. They are proud
of the fact that there was no real
economic demand for this channel, but
become seaport. so they merely
moved the gulf to Houston, instead of
moving Houston to the gulf. They are
proud of the preparations and the ex-
penditures which have been made for
this convention, and that the Demo-
Gratis, like the Gulf of Mexico. we're
willing to come here. They recite end
less facts and figures on the city's
commerce, its population and its adj
vantages, and they pat the nearby city
of Galveston patronizingly on the back
and tell Galveston to go ahead and
advertise itself as playground. and
forget about trying to compete with
Houston as a seaport.
Galveston is sharing the Joy Of
Houston at bringing the Democrats
down here Galveston has a charm and
a beauty of its own. The street car
motormen of the one-man cars that
run slowly no and down the streets,
bordered with palms and Towering
oleanders. are among the city's lead
ing boosters. A stranger Is welcomed
to seat in one of these cars like a
freshman is welcomed at a fraternity
rush tea. The motorman slows his car
to point, with graceful sweep of his
arm, to some of the beauty spots. and

the farmer will want to know definitely
whether the Democratic party is for
or against the equalization fee. If the
platform is merely hopeful expression
about possible agricultural solution,
the Republicans will be gratified, be-
cause the effect will be neutralized by
the fact that the Republican platform
did virtually the same thing in an
other set of phrases. If, on the other
hand, the Democrats come out fatty
for an equalization fee, whether it is
the type of fee contained in the Nc

AUGUSTA. Me- June 2S.--Although
the average politician in the State be-
lievei that United States Senator Hale
Of Portland would be nominated in the
Republican primaries against Gov.
Ralph Q. Brewster. no one dreamed that
he would have such a wide margin
Senator Hale was renominated by q
majority Of over $4,000 in a total vote
Of approximately 10000. the largest
ever polled in Republican primary in
this State.
Gov. Brewster started campaigning
early and laid stress on the fact that
Senator Hale voted to seat Frank l.
Smith of Illinois and William S, Ware of
Pennsylvania in the upper branch of
Congress. The vote indicated that this
issue did not interest the Maine voters
very much If at all.
Col. William Tudor Gardiner was
nominated for governor in the Repub-
mean primary, receiving more votes
than those cast for his three opponents,
1t was generally understood that Col.
Gardiner would receive the nomination,
but his most ardent supporters never
once thought he would poll such q large
vote.
Ira G. Hersey of Houlton, member Of
Congress from the fourth district. was
cefsated for denomination by Donald
r. Snow, Bangor attorney. The other
members of the House from Maine. Car
ron L. Beedy in the first district: WAL
lace H. White in the second district
ana John &. Nelson of Augusta in the
third district, were renominated by &C.
ciamation.
All the Democratic candidates were
nominated without opposition.
The delegates and alternates have
started for the Democratic convention
at Houston. The chairman of the dele
CATION is Dan w. Cony of Augusta and
one OF its members is william NJ Ingra-
nam OF Portland, formerly Assistant
Secretary of War. The delegation is
instructed for Gov. Smith of New York
for President.

fensive, there is nothing lost by such
tactics, and, as for The farm groups and
their leaders, they will not be displeased
to see Gov. Smith and Herbert Hoover
rivaling each other in discussing af
firmative programs of farm relief. For.
to be sure, Republicans and Democrat
running for Congress Will be affected
by the debate. When the Houston con-
vention is over, the Republicans here
will be able to map out their campaign.

Women Lag in
Preparation for
Public Speaking
ByNEA Service

BYNEA Service
Women could be as eloquent as
men in public speaking, if they took
the trouble, according to Miss Helen
Zachos, instructor in the English
department of Cooper Union since
1899 and mentor Of many famous
orators.
Inertia and fear Of public speak
ing are the two chief handicaps Of
women in public life," she insisted
Women are failures as speakers
in the majority Of cases largely be-
cause they do not realize the vital
Importance of proper preparation
for thinking while on their feet.
Speeches should be prepared
carefully. One must know what she
wants to say before she can say it..
And, unless a woman has had much
CT erience, she never should speak
ey, amporaneously. If she puts q
little time and attention into it, she
wlll find she really can talk.
Women fail to realize that
through their own careless habits
of address much Of the force Of
what they have to say is lost.
"If women get worried when
talking, their light, naturally high
pitched voices become stringent and
discordant. But when they are sure
Of what they want to say they CAN
have an easy delivery. In time they
will realize that a speech should
be prepared just the same as a
dinner"
