rines. who themselves are not
qualified, but whose wives are
qalified to hold such positions. !"
When called upon to to con
strue this act the Democratic
| Attorney General Palmer gave
the act a broad and liberal in
depreciation. The attorney gen.
neral said:
| The preference given by the
provision is preference over all
other persons who may be eligi.
BILE to appointment. No excep
tions are expressed and none can
be read into the Act. It's pro
visions are mandatory and must
be complied WITH"
It was President Harding, a
Republican, who issued execu
tive order No. 1901 which sub
stituted for the mandatory pre-
ference given by the Democratic
Congress limited preference of
five to ten points in the initial
rating examination.
In addition to this Limitation
of preference Republican pres.
ident and Congress have kept in
force bureau of efficiency which
! by its delay and red tape has
caused unjustly hundreds of ex
service men to be discharged.
The rulings of this bureau are
so faulty, so unjust, that the ex
service man receives practically
| no benefit from the acts of Con
gress which prefer his retention
in service when discharges take
place in the civil service of the
government.
| Plank in the Democratic Platform
Through Democratic votes
and in spite of two Republican
presidents opposition, the Con
gress has maintained America $
traditional policy to generously
Ieare for the veterans Of the
World War. To extending them
free hos spitalization, statutory
award for tuberculosis; pro
gram of progressive hospital
construction, and provisions for
compensation for the disabled,
the widows aud orphans. Amer
lea has surpassed the record Of
any nation in the history of the
world. We pledge the veterans
that none of the benefits hereto
fore accorded by the Wilson ad
ministration and the votes of
| Democratic members of Congress
shall be withdrawn; that these
will be added to more in accord
ance with the veterans and
their dependents actual needs.
Generous appropriations, honest
management, the removal of
vexatious administration delays.
and sympathetic assistance of
the veterans of all wars is what
the Democratic party demands
and promises.
| The past history of the Demo
cratic party and its great leader,
Governor Smith, together with
veterans plank in the platform,
and the sincere and eloquent as
surance of Governor Smith. gives
the veteran that long-sought for
hope, that justice will be done
to those disabled comrades and
the wives and orphans of their
buddies who gave their all for
| their country.
| Now is the time for you World
| War veterans to- go forth and
give this message to your friends
| and comrades-to vote for Smith
and Robinson, for a vote for
them means vote for justice to
the disabled veterans and their
dependents.

CONVENTION HALL, HOUS-
TON. Tex, June 28.-Mrs. Nellie
Tayloe Ross, former governor of
wyoming, quoted praise of Alfred
p. Smith from Charles E Hughes
last night in seconding the noml-
nation OF the New York governor.
Not only was Governor Smith
man of character and achievements
had captivated the imagination of
the American electorate, she said,
hut he was q candidate who would
prove to be vote getter."
Governor Ross said in part:
"The governorship Of New York
is the most exalted and responsible
position in the Nation next to the
Presidency. Success in 1t has been
regarded as something of an ulti-
mate test OF Qualification for the
supreme position in the gift OF the
people.
Governor Smith has made a record
that has not only won the general
acclaim of his own party. but that
of illustrious and conservative lead
ers of the opposition.
mot three months ago Secretary
Hughes publicly pronounced him an
expert in Government "A master
of the science Of politics
Notable indeed has been his pub
lie service that his fame has spread
over. mountain and plain to the
uttermost corners of this country,
until the very name AL Smith has
become a household word"
Repeatedly and truthfully it is
said that Governor Smith has cap
tured the imagination of the people.
More also has he done-he has cap.
tured their hearts. The hearts of
this Democratic people respond with
pride and admir- alton to the human
appeal of this man. who by sheer
force of character and native ability
has overcome obstacles that to one
OF weaker mould would have been
insurmountable.

WOOL POOL PLANNED.
Project to Dominate u. S. Market
Started by Growers Head.

SALT LAKE CITY. Utah. July IA
tAp).-Plans for the formation OF an
annual American wool pool involving
minimum of $4,000. 900 pounds OF do
nestle fieeces as the initial step toward
domination of the American WOOL
market were revealed here yesterday by
Frank j. Hagenbarth, president OF the
National Wool Growers Association.
The wool would be sold under the d.
rection of a central marketing organiza-
ton operating through the Wool Grow
ers' Association and the newly organ
lied National Wool Marketing Council.
Cooperation Is being sought from the
Federal Department Of Agriculture.
President Hagenbarth said 1t was
hoped that by orderly marketing of the
pooled wool prices would be stabilized
and would approach parity with for
eign import prices. The proposed pool
would not conflict with existing CO.
operative selling agencies. but would
work with them under five-year con-
tracts.
Organization of the pool will be per-
fected at meeting here next month
OF directors OF the Marketing Council
and the executive committee of the
wool growers. Hagenbarth said.
