United States, following his indtct-

creased the possible Republican vote IN
Mississippi for Hoover

his half-brother, Or. S. d. Remond,
was indicted on the charge OF conspr-
ing TO violate the law prohibiting the
indictments were by Federal grand
Jury in Biloxi Howard, for years the
dominant figure In and the active
leader of the Republican party IN
Mississippi, has virtually dictated
patronage. Heretofore. white leaders
have been unable TO cope with Howard
unless they conforined TO his plans.
Howard served four years as Repuo-
lican national executive committeeman
from Mississippi and was reelected
when he recently won recognition for
his delegation at the national conven-
ton. He has been practically the Re-
publican referee for s.sissiSsippi since

HARRISBURG. Pa, July 2i.-A
prediction that Gov. Smith in the presi-
Dental election will carry Pittsburgh,
home city of Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon, by a safe majority, was made
this week by John R. Collins, chairman
of the Democratic State committee, In
his first interview since assuming the
Craftsmanship shortly before the Hous-
ton convention.
Collins, who lives in a dry rural
county of interior Pennsylvania. said he
believes Smith will carry Pittsburgh
because of his appeal to the masses and
his stand against prohibition.
He declined, however. to make any
prediction regarding Smiths fate in
Philadelphia. Top heavy Republican
majorities in these two cities usually
swamp any lead candidates may build
up in other counties. but Collins ex-
pressed the opinion this will not be the
case this year The number of Repub-
lican votes Smith will win will Offset
any number of Democratic votes lost
to the ticket this year because Smith Is
the nominee, he said.
A unique campaign document ema-
mated this week from John A. McSpar-
ran, former nominee for governor.
former master of the State Grange, and
who, as an anti-Smith delegate at
large at Houston. appeared before the
platform committee to demand bone
dry platform. One of the driest of dry
Democrats in the State, McSparran In
letter to National Chairman Rasko1
demanded that Raskob and Gov Smith
both resign as party leaders before
you get the darndest licking that any
one ever got in presidential election :"
McSparran had previously refused to
support Smith by withdrawing as
nominee for Congress against Repre-
sentative Griest.
Republican leaders are concentrating
on organizing the campaign In districts
where hard-fougflt congressional con-
tests are expected. Those districts
they believe. will be the principal battle
grounds between the parties. not only
for election of congressman but also in
garnering votes for the presidential
ticket.

AUSTIN. Tex, July 2l.-The long
deferred bolt Of Texas dry Democrats
from Gov. Smiths nomination has at
last taken place. A Statewide meeting
at Dallas, fostering this break, has
pledged support to Herbert Hoover and
appealed to the drys Of the State. Led
by many churchmen and professional
prohibitionists and women. they will
actively contest for the election OF Re-
publican presidential electors.
The detection from Democratic ranks,
suddenly breaking into stable proper

o,lsly worried and Gov. Dan Moody.

Primaries Seen Test.
The first test Of the break following
the boilers meeting, when the anti
Smith Democratic" State organization
was formed, will be in the State pri--
maries July %, when thousands OF
party regulars are threatening to stay
out of the primaries in order to retain
free choice of scratching Smiths name
at the general election. Alvin 8. Moody
of Houston. member of the State DEM

man of Gov. Moody. is chairman OF
the boilers State organization and
head of the Hoover Aid" Club.

As the matter nov stands. the Lead

To the front more directly by National
Chairman Raskob than by utterances

expect from many sections of the State
is a following alienated from Smith

Texas, and in every section where lin

Election Threatened.
1t is not believed SUFFICIENT numbers
of the anti-Smith Democrats win stay

the bolt has elements of danger for the
November election.

week. preceding the Asheville all

platform. declaring that Gov. Smith.
By his wet declarations had "bolted the
platform and therefore relieved Dem

This conference pledged the support of
its members and its followers to Hoover
