"mud Singing" manv harsh words
that are hard to recall.
Influential national leaders in
the south are sending out the word
that the factions must forget their
differences. The olive branch is
being passed from hand to hand.
Fractional differences are being ad-
justed in many instances. A glar-
ing example af continued hostility
however is in Texas, which is see
ing stormy political days. There,
too, though, the Smith leaders thus
far have the upper htnd.
An interesting example of burial
of old fractional differences is in
Georgia. For yeats Clark Howell,
Atlanta editor and former Senator
Hoke Smith headed the two rival
political factions in the state. Re
Gently Smith issued an appeal to
Georgia voters to tand behind the
Democratic nominee. Howell, who
has long been supporter Of the
New York governor called attention
to the appeal of ''an nld war horse
of the party" and predicted that
Georgia as usual would be in the
Democratic column in November.
Howell was defeated as national
committeeman four years ago by
John Cohen, another Atlanta edi-
tor who was Of the Hoke Smith fac
tion. Cohen also is working for the
Democratic candidate, though he
stoutly opposed his nomination.
This is an illustration of what
is happening in the south among
the party 'regulars.

Smith leaders also have moved to
meet the two principal issues raised
against Smith, religion and prohi-
bltion. AS regards the latter, they
will argue that the Democratic can.

perance, that he is not for the re-

orgy of bootlegging, with the
younger generation drinking be
cause they think it smart. They
also are attacking the enforcement
work Of the Republican administra-
tion.
The strategy in handling the reli-
gious issue is to force it into the
open. Editors are urging tolerance
in numerous editorials. They are
proceeding on the theory that the
best way to dispel religious preju-
dice is to bring it out and talk it
over. In this respect the southern
leaders are taking their cue from
Smith 5 own policy as regards his
religion.
The religious issue will lack the
strong campaign it had formerly in
the Ku Klux Klan. This organiza-
tion does not now WELD the influ-
ence it once did, and has lost the
political power once gathered into
its hands.

Leaders there believe Smith has
the best chance Of any Democratic
presidential candidate in recent
wears because they think there is n
chance for him to crash into regular
Republican strongholds in the north.
BY the same token of course, the
south must be kept in line and vie
tory, in the last analysis, may de-
pend upon this.
Political machines are built on
self interest Politicians of the
rank and file who have labored at
their small party posts through tho
lean wears since the Wilson admins
tration are hungry for the rewards
that would come to them, in jobs
and other preferences, if Governor
Smith were elected.
This will be a motivating influ-
cnce in the campaign. The more I'M

chiefs and numerous other positions
which carry prestige and influence.
TO those down the line they are
holding out the lure of federal court

There is much talk of the prob

work for Democratic presidential
candidates in the south. But Smith
must have the solid south. The
loss of one or two states there
would offset inroads into regular
Republican strongholds he antici-
patcs elsewhere, and would prob
ably mean n Democratic defeat.
The task is the more difficult
this year, because Smith leaders
must get out more than the normal
regular vote of presidential years.
Many Democrats in the south do not
vote m presidential elections be-
cause it is not necessary. Their in

fights. The "regular' vote, which
shows at the polls year in and year
out, comprises a large part of the

elections. Because of the prospects

must 90 into fields not hitherto

south. where there is but one domin-

NIAGARA RIVER

Bed of Stream Covered
With Liquor Abandoned
By BOOtleggers.
Bv United Press Iensed VIE

BUFFALO, y. y. Aug. 15.-Once
again rum runners who ply their
trade along the border waters OF
the Niagara frontier have been
dealt smashing blow by the Uni
ted States Coast Guard.
The latest move by the coast
guard in its attempt to wipe out
the many bands of smugglcrs in
these waters has been to order 4
number of flying speed boats, cap
able of cutting the water at speed
Of 90 miles an hour, and which, it is
said, will outspccd the fastest boats
used by rum runners.
The new boats, some of which
will be 81 feet in length, and the
remainder 81 feet, Will be placed
into service sometime this month.
They will see service ON the
Niagara river and Lake Erie and
Ontario.
Rum Boats Slower
The boats owned by rum runners
and which have been confiscated in
the past by the coast guard rarely
have been capable of speed
greater than 80 or 81 miles per
hour.
However, since the customs offici-
ais lave concentrated more this
year on wiping cut contraband
smugglcrs. the latter have pur-
chased faster boats in which they
hoped to outSpccd the revenue
cutters. That they succeeded to some
extent is evidenced by the fact that
new and spccdicr boats have been
ordered for coast guard duty.
1t was pointed out by officials
that it will be next to an impossi-
hility for rum runners to purchase
boats that will exceed the speed of
the new rum chascrS, due TO the fact
that boats capable of such speed
as 60 miles AN hour or better are
not being built with any view. to
large storage space. Without room
to store cases of liquor the boats
are of no use 10 rum runners.
The number Of methods employed
by rum runners to land their cargo
on the American side is astonish-
ing.
Rowboats Are Used
Often in the cover of night, with
out any light, small skiffs and row
boats attempt to cross from the
Canadian side with the liquor stored
away in compartments. These boats
however, do not bother the cutters
greatly as they rarely carry more
than few eases of either ale or
liquor.
y number of mcn have been ar
rested lately in rowboats disguised
as fishermen, for attempting to
smuggle liquor over the border.
They had two or three cases at
tachcd to their boat by means of a
rope and rowed across. Several cs-
capped penalty by cutting the rope
and letting the cases Of liquor sink
to the bottom upon seeing Il revenue
cutter approach.
1t is estimated that more than
/ 600 cases of prc-war liquor and
912 per cent Canadian ale are rest
ing on the bottom of the Niagara
river alone. All these cases were
dumped over by rum runners to
avoid arrest
