ling Of speakers, the Kentucky demo-
cratic convention last night voted to
pledge its 26 national delegates 10
Governor Smith Of New York.

but by leaders of party groups who
split last fall when former u. s.
Senator j. G. W. Eeckham was de-
feated for governor by Elem ID.
Sampson, republican. With the ex-
ception Of Beckham. the entire
democratic state ticket was elected
and his defeat was caused. il was
said, by thousands of boiters who
did not agree with his stand as an
~anti-racing candidate.
Control Of the party organization
was the prize for which the two
groups fought. When the convention
adjourned at 3 o'clock this morning
the Beckham forces were dominant
although the chief opposition leader,
W. r. Klair Of Lexington, had re-
tanned control of his district.
Judge Charles A. Hardin OF Har-
rodsburg was named chairman of the
state central and executive commit
tees and Joe Z. Robinson Of Lancas-
ter was elected national democratic
