SMITH IN CONTROL.
AS CONVENTION OPENS
RY BYRON PRICE

(Associated Press Staff Writer)
Houston, June 26.--(R-The first
Democratic National convention to
assemble in the Democratic south
since the civil war was called to-
gether in Sam Houston Hall today
with a united, Smith pledged east
and west in control. and most of the
south itself dissenting.
A final period of pre-convention
argument and caucusing served on
" to accent. ate the dominating po-
sition of the New York governor and
the protest of many southern COM
munities against his nomination. De-
spite q southern rally to favorite
sons, so great q majority were pre-
pairing to go to Smiths support that
even his enemies saw but slender
prospect of encompassing his defeat.
Balloting will not begin until late
this week, but the opening day Of
the convention saw the presidential
contest takin. such definite form
that an increasing number OF the
leaders accepted the nomination OF
Governor Smith as a foregone con-
clusion, and centered their attention
on the vice presidency. Senator
Robinson, Arkansas, Democratic
leader Of the senate, came wildly
into the foreground as IN available
running mate for Smith. his ascend
ancy completely eclipsing an earlier
boom for Evans Woollen Of Indiana.
Under q new convention plan,
made to order for the age Of radio,
party managers clipped in two the
program for today's MONDAY OPEN
ing session, leaving delivery of the
keynote speech, always a first day
drawing card, tor q second session to
be held this evening.
Gospel Given Tonight
Thus the preaching Of this Demo-
cratic gospel will coincide with
those horrs when the great audience
of listeners-in is at it's maximum.
Tho arrangement left for the noon
session only a few dry and dusty
formalities, consisting chiefly Of
setting to work the committee ma
chinery by which the convention
shifts many Of its troubles to other
shoulders.
Like the convention it was built
to house, Sam Houston Hall Is in it.
self unique establishment to party
history. Erected against time after
the Democratic National committee
had surprised Houston itself and
the whole political world by deciding
suddenly to nominate presidential
candidate in this south Texas City.
the great wooden auditorium stood
today dressed in = thousand flags
and redolent with the pleasant scent
of clean new pine. Half Of its 49,
600 seats were ut ground level
wooden tkeater chairs on Z concrete
floor; the others sloped upward
around the edges like baseball
bleachers, the highest but thirty feet
off the ground. From this thirty
foot level upward to the low-arched
roof, the sides were open to the
breeze, in token Of q southern
thoughtfulness for those visitors
who are not accustomed to June in
Texas.

DENIS DISAGREE
OYER PLANK ON
WET QUESTION
Farm Equality Seems Certain
to Find Place in Conven.
ton Platform
By JAMES L. WEST
ASSOCIATED Press Staff WPiter.l

Houston, June Rehabilitation
days Of preliminary skirmishinr.
those charged with framing the 1898
Democratic national platform turned
today to the real work ahead Of them
with apparently but = single rift in
the clouds, disagreement over the
prohibition plank.
Extreme views on the wet and
dry question were presented bv sew
eral eastern states on the one hand
and the solid south on the other. with
some prospects that only the conyen-
ton itself could settle the issue.
There seemed to be a pretty gen.
eral agreement on the farm relief
and other planks in the platform.
which Senator Key Pitman Of Ne.
vada, who is to be chairman az tho
resolutions committee, said he hoped
to hold down to $500 words so as
to present to the country the short
est party declaration in several dec.
AIDES. wv
Last-minute conferences on the
prohibition question were held hv
Governor Moody Of Texas; Jesephus
Daniels, secretary of the navy in the
Wilson administration; Senator Car
ter Glass and Coy. Richard EVELYN
Byrd OF Virginia, and Representa-
tives from Georgia, Mississippi. and
other $, uthern states. All were
agreed that there should be a law
enforcement plank naming the eieh-
teenth amendment and pledgine the
party to its sincere enforcement.
Several party leaders expressed
the view that should the drys pre-
sent q minority report to the con.
vention, the vets also would come
IN with their proposal for modifica-
ton, so that the convention floor
fight would be over the 7erv ex-
tremes on the question. with little
doubt that the convention would 90
on record by a large majority
against any changes in the prohibi-
ton law.
While a few individual delerates
favored a farm relief declaration
endorsing at least the principle of
the McNary-Haugen bill with it's
equalization fee, the general opinion
around convention headquarters was
that the agriculture plank would be
general in character, with the party
pledged to use every endeavor to find
q solution Of this problem.
This declaration also would in
volve the tariff, on which there will
be general announcement in favor
OF more equitable imposts and con-
demning the present Republican tar
if act as favoring certain industries
to the detriment Of others, particu-
larly the agricultural industry.

COnventiOnalities
(By The Associated Press)

The Democratic chieftains who
decided on night sessions for the ma
tional convention already are hear
ing from evening newspapers back
home, but they place all Of the blame
on the evolution OF the radio.
BY holding short sessions in mid
day. when many of the nations
millions are at home for noon
luncheons they assert that they will
reach the voters over the broadcast
ing chain, and then again, with
night sessions they believe literally
millions will listen to the lambast-
ing of the Republican party.
These leaders are depending on
the newspapers to carry the all-im-
portant printed word, but they are
overlooking no bets in getting their
case across. Unless there is a
change in plans there will be sew
eral night sessions of the conven-
ton. although no day will be alto
gether neglected.
