HELP SECRETLY
PLEDGED TO AL
IS Promised Votes Seen as
Victory Margin.
BIZ United Press

By JHtted Press
NEW YORK, June 14.-Eighty-
five votes, the source of which is be-
ing kept secret, will assure Governor
Alfred E. Smiths nomination on the
third ballot at the Democratic ma
tional convention, his supporters
said today.
Smiths strength is put at 1872
votes, which is one-third short of
the number required for nomination.
His hackers insist, however, that the
North Carolina delegation will fur
nish the necessary strength to put
him across.
The eighty-five secret votes are
figured in the total of 1872. That es-
innate, Smith workers said, was
conservative, and one of them went
so far as to say the Governor would
enter the convention with TAO
delegates pledged to him.

Dance MarathOnS Have
Nothing for Sheer Endur-
ance on Commute Sessions.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press staff Correspondent

KANSAS CITY, June 14.-Danc-
ing marathons have nothing-for
sheer endurance-on national con-
vention committee sessions.
Yawns - stifled languidly - today
were the only open evidence, how
ever, of two long-distance pow-wowS
in the credentials and platform
committees.
The Republican platform COM
mittee tussle over farm relief this
year came very near equaling the
Democratic session over the Ku-
Klux Klan in the Madison Square
Hotel in New York in 1924.
The farm relief deadlock began
Tuesday afternoon and ran until
late Wednesday night.
The credentials committee had
only one night of it. A woman, Mrs.
Mabel Walker Willebrandt, assist
ant attorney general, sat nearly all
night with the committee and ap-
peared so fresh when she presented
the report to the convention that
more of her sex are likely to get
this sort of work.
Participants in the sessions this
year ranged in years from young
Senator Bob La Toilette, who is 80,
to Senator Smoot, of Utah, who has
passed 10.
Serving on convention commit
tees is much like serving in jail.
Platform trainers marched into a
hotel room, locked themselves up,
and served their time-two days
and two nights.
Prisoners sleep-but committee
members didn't.
A few of the Oldest took a few
winks between dawn and daylight.
Some of the younger ones, like
Senator Bingham of Connecticut,
World War aviator commander,
merely refreshed themselves with a
cold shower.
Bingham poked his head out OF
a bath to talk to newspaper re-
porters.

LAST CALL" TO REGISTER

This column has several occasions in the past
urged voters to register that they may cast their bal
lots at coming elections There is way of ascertain
ing whether or not the admonition has borne fruit
but it is certain that at the present time the number
cf voters who have registered in Ell Centro is far be-
low what it should be-
AT noontlme tomorrow registrations for the city
election to be held in April will close Those citizens
who have not registered by that time will be unable
express their opinions at the polls.
The citizen who has been too busy" who doesn't
want to register, who forgot it, who did know
that he had to register will have only himself blame
unless he acts before tomorrow If he tries to
vote at the city election without registering he will be
unable to do so.
The duty of registering has been stressed herein
many times. Some there who will not heed the
urge to register matter how often it is placed before
them There were "slackers" during the and there
are sackers in peace The man who neglects to reg
lister is Stacker"
Yet it is such these who habitually want to
know why Ell Centro doesn't do this that the other
thing and who are eternay complaining to put their
shoulders to the wheel
In addition to electing three members of the city
council, two important propositions will be placed be-
fore the voters at the April election. The rightind
ed citizen who is interested in his city, who desires to
have his say as to how shall be and who shall
IT, will be certain that he is able to express his opinion
IN the real American way-at the polls. He will make
his business if he has not already done to regis
ter before tomorrow The slacker will not do it
and thereafter will give voice his useless and annoy
ing howl.

IT TAKES
ALL-BRAN
TO RELIEVE
CONSTIPATION

More and more people are eating
bran for "health's sake" these days.
And it's fine thing. But rot every
body realizes what a difference thero
is in so-called "brans." Doctors say
it takes 1000 bran to supply
enough roughage to relieve consti-
patton. Part-bran products, at best,
can only be partly effective.
Kellogg's ALL-RRAN is 10Oco
bran. 1t furnishes roughage in
effective quantities-and in tho
most effective form; cooked and
krurnbled. 1t does work part-bran
products cannot hope to equal. Two
tablespoonfuls daily-chronic cases,
with every meal-are guaranteed
to relieve constipation.
Serve ALL-BRAN often. With
milk or cream-fruits or honey
added. Be sure you get genuine
Kellogg's though-in the red-and-
green package. Use IL in cooking.
Sprinkle into soups. ALL-BRAN
is sold by all grocers. Served every
where. Made by Kellogg in Baltic

George Moran, 80, of FL Ceutro
and Juan Mata, IS, Of FL Centre
were ordered dismissed from custo-
dy by Judge |. Mayficld following
u preliminary hearing yesterday aft
crnoon. The two men were code
fcndants on charges of burglary,
complaint against them being en-
tered by William Harrington, Il
rancher of the Mt. Signal district.
Harrington on the stand declared
that Mata had worked fer him for
some time but that he had run out
of work for the man and dismissed
him. He said that later he returned
to find Mata taking some goods
from his home.
Mata was the only witness for
the defense and testified that he
had worked and lived with Harring-
ton for some time. He testified
that on the day in question he had
gone to the house and had taken a
sack of potatoes, declaring that the
potatoes were his property.
He said that he had always had
n key to the place and that he had
committed no crime, merely taking
his own property. He was surpr!s-
ed that Harrington had made tn"
charge against him as they had al
wavs been friends and that he had
promised him more work in the flu
turc.
