Simmons, of North Carolina. Sees in the results of the precinct meetings in his state Saturday smashing defeat for Governor Smith and strong indorsement of Corden Hull for the democratic presidential nomination"

T am pro- foundly convinced that Governor Smith cannot and will not be nom mated. and If. perchance. he should be nominated he can not be elect ed" -4
 The senator, leader of the demo- cratic organization in his state. ada ed that all that was necessary to make victory certain at Houston for Smith opponents wa- 'courage on the part Of the leaders of those who oppose his nomination and exercise of diligence and vigilance to meet the efforts of such a powerful and highly financed organization at that behind the candidacy of Governor Smith,"
 The North Carolinian said he did not believe Smith was assured of as many as 500 votes at Houston and instead of that number increasing he thought it would decrease from now on.
 "The democratic party" he said. "will never, in my judgment, concur in and submit to the things which Tammany Hall and Governor Smith. its outstanding figure. represent and stand for.'
 Simmons said the intensity of the North Carolina drive for Smith was greater than that in any other southern state because they consid- cred me the leader In the south against Smiths candidacy" "Governcr Smith, chief Of Tam many aachems." he continued. Ire gently spent ten days in North Caro- lima bringing down to aid him in planning his campaign in the state tho succeasor of Tweed, Croker and Murphy. in the person of Mir.
