HOUSTONIAN
MENTIONED AS
Y. PRESIDENT
Boom For Man Who
Secured Convention
Is Launched at Dim
ner in New York

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-CP)-Pos-
sibility of a ticket headed by Alfred
E. Smith for president and Jesse
Jones, of Houston, Tex, for vice
president, was discussed in demo-
cratic circles today.
The boom for Jones as a running
mate TO New York's governor devel-
cped at a beefsteak dinner at the
National Democratic club and fol-
lowed receipt of word from Cover
nor Dan Moody of Texas that he
positively would not be a candidate
for either president or vice presi-
dent and did not want his name dis
cussed.
Jones is director of finance of the
democratic national committee and
is generally credited with having
done more than any other man to
get the democratic national conven-
tion for Houston.
Tribune Sees Texas Unity
The Herald-Tribune, republican,
today says that the nomination of
Jones would do two things, both
essential If Governor Smith is to
make a formidable showing in the
presidential race this year-it would
tie up Texas to Governor Smith,
despite the governors wetness and
other alleged disabilities, and it
would appeal strongly to the Wilson
old guard in the state, as Mr.. Jones
was a close friend of President Will
son and received a friendly letter
from him a week before his death.
Texas democrats are badly split
over the Smith boom, Colonel Thorn
as B. Love and Former Governor
Pat Neff, opposing the naming Of
any wet. The honoring of Mr.. Jones
would go a good way toward moIIi-
flying the Wilson wing and the ex-
treme drys and at the same time re-
ward the gentleman whose manage
ment captured the democratic con-
vention against opposition.

new ANGLE ON
DEATH PROBED
Luna Killed by Petty
Thieves Is Theory;
Is Doubted

With the identity Of the slayer
of Aberlardo Luna, 80, still an un-
solved mystery. police and county
officials Thursday were roncentrat-
ing their efforts along a theory that
the man may have been shot BY
petty thieves, whom he discovered in
the act of removing the tires from
the machine, although they place a
little credence in the theory.
Luna was killed a few minutes af-
ter midnight Wednesday when he
stuck his head from the window OF
his home, in an alley near Eighth
and Madison streets.
The theory was advanced by neigh
bors, in the face of a statement that
the man had been called from his
bed to his death. The machine was
sitting in front Of the house, with
in a foot or two Of the spot where
Luna was killed, ana Wednesday
morning was found 70 have been
partially lifted from the ground and
rested on a pile Of bricks. Luna
may have done this peIore he re-
tired, il was said.
The bullet that killed Luna was
AiEeu from very snort range PROB
ably not more than three yards dis
tance separating the gun barrel and
the victim when the trigger was
pulled, according to a physician who
went to the scene Immediately af-
ter the shooting.
He reached this conclusion, the
doctor said. when he discovered that
the bullet causing Luna's death had
barely gone through the body. The
slug was picked I'D outside the door
Of the home Wednesday, but it Is
believed il had dropped to the floor
after passing through the victims
body, and been kicked to the place
where il was found.
Luna tried desperately to speak
after he was hit, it was said. but
was unable to utter a coherent
sound. After the shot was fired he
first stunned over the window ledge.
but rallied sufficiently to walk three
PAGES to his bed at the time Of
which he collapsed, his wife de-
clared.

Take Notice

State Press in the Dallas
News writing under a heading
"Creagerolcgy", gu o tes tn e
Brownsville Herald to the ef-
feet that only one-third the
normal number of poll tax re-
ceipts have been paid in Cam

One Of the prominent citizens
Of Cameron county is Rene
Creager. who began life under
the handicap of being a Repub-
lican and has continued in the
error of his ways. Just being
a Republican isn't so bad, but
being a mean Republican Is a
deterrent. Mr.. Creager has been
touring the State telling about
how it is going for Hoover next
November. Evidently the Demo-
cratic voters of Cameron coun-
ty believe him and see no use
in wasting their time and Sl.75
paying Democratic poll taxes.
The chances are that nearly all
of those $500 paid poll taxes in
Cameron are Republican and
the 5000 unpaid are Democratic,
and IL some missionary don't
get down there and stir things
up they'll not only have Cam
eron county going for Hoover,
but a Republican Sheriff and
County Judge. They already
have a Republican postmaster.
