President Coolidge vetoed the McNaFy-
Haugcn bill have not become excited
oyer the proposed farmer pilgrimage TO
the Kansas City convention, and viii

bers are concerned. Some few from the
extreme southern part Of the State may
Ioirs some OF the pilgrimage parties TO

but the farmers Of Eouth Dakota as .
whole gili take no part In the move

If has been charged that most Of the
farm relief agitation is due wholly 70
politicians and that considerable num-
beFs OF farmers are taking no part In

energetic and who manage their farms

He addc, Incidentally they are the

10 the farmers and TO the President. To
have taken the question out OF the cam

during the weeks Immediately to come.
Bearing out this assertion. Col Amos

HARRISBURG, Pa, June All
though Pennsylvania is sending an un-
instructed delegation to the Republican
national convention, 1t will contain o
number Of votes morally bound 10
Herbert Hoover.
Six delegates and seven alternates
who were elected had pledged 70 the
popular choice Of their districts. As
Hoover led in the preferential vote In
every county Of the State, these l3
are morally bound to support Hoover In
the convention. Their pledge. how
ever, imposes no legal compulsion 10
abide by the popular choice.
These pledged delegates, however, DO
not include several VINO declared d.
rectly in favor Of Hoover before the
primary, but made no pledge TO the
popular choice
Senator-eiect William 8. Ware, Pf1ila-
delphia leader. who il friendly to the
Hoover candidacy. will be able 70 take
his seat as delegate at large, although
severe Illness until this week had
made his attendance doubtful.
VIII Leave Saturday.
The Republican delegation will leave
on three special trains next Saturday
midnight and win arrive in Kansas
City Monday afternoon, the day before
the convention
after arriving there and learning the
late developments. The decision re-
garding which candidate shall receive
the Pennsylvania votes on the first
ballot. however. may not come until
later in the convention, a short time
before balloting starts.
The opinion Of Secretary Of the
Treasury Mellon at that time regard
ing the candidate 70 be supported will
reveal definitely what his opinion Is
regarding Hoover's chances. II he
swings to Hoover on the first ballot, Il
IS understood he believes Hoover Is
certain OF the nomination; but II he
throws the votes elsewhere, IL indicates
he believes Hoover can be stopped and
that Coolidge or dark horse" Of the
Coolidge type can be named instead.
Agents Of the Republican State COM
mittee will arrive in Kansas City We'd

velopments there for information of

Joseph 2. Guffey. retiring Democratic

whether many Of the anti-Smith dele

LITTLE ROCK. Ark. June 2.-Politi-
cal prophets in this State. taking note
Of the giant shadows OF the national
conventions looming over them. are de-
voting more time than ever before to
the Democratic predieament. leaving
the Republican predicament to work
itself out the best it can
The reason for that Is manifest. The
State is Overwhelmingly Democratic
and most Of the people are interested
In the trend Of Democratic affairs.
II is generally conceded that AL
Smith will be nominated and the re-
action already Is reflected in the atti-
tude OF the larger newspapers. Most
of these have sounded a clarion call
for support OF the nominee The Ar
kansas Gazette, leading State news
paper and the Oldest newspaper west
OF the Mississippi River, conceding the
nomination OF Smith. after opposing his
nomination, has urged its readers to
consider the failure of the Republican
administration 10 enforce prohibition
before such readers begin TO critize
the wet" tendencies of Gov. Smith.
The newspapers, however, have ac-
cepted the opposition to Smith at its
face value. AS a matter of fact, the
announced opposition to Smith because
he is wet" merely Is TO cloak the
real reason. which Is because Smith
Is Roman Catholic, and that Is too
tender a subject here for newspapers
TO dwell upon.
1t has been demonstrated here that
religious animosity Is the most bitter
hate known TO mankind, and most cer-
tainly the opponents OF Smith on that
score will never vote for him, even Ii
he should be nominated by acclama-
ton and hailed as the greatest states
man Of the times
The anti-Smithites. however. are
certain To constitute q loud but in
effective minority, Many of them will
vote for Hoover and Hoover will get
the votes OF many Democratic business
men who consider him the best quail
fed man for the Job, but Arkansas
electoral vote will go for the Demo-
cratic candidate.
