OR SMITH NEXT
 PRESIDENT, DECLARE FUB-.
 LER. MASSACHUSETTS. GOV

R0STON.-Alyan T. Fuller, Repub- Tsan governor of Massachusetts. be- .leves Hoover or Smith will he the, next President of the United States. He holds that opinion, despite the .ef- forts of friends to place his name be- fore the forthcoming Republican na- tional convention.
 He declared. ''If tn Republicans put over some candidate nominated by the bosses in a back room at 2 o'clock in the mornin and the. Demo- crats nominate Smith, believe Smith will be elected President.
 If the Democrats do not nominate Smith they had better disband or else recognize the party as a free trade counsel of the Klan with Tom Hehin as head kleagle. The public is better informed and therefore more inde- pendent of old-time processes and in- tluences than ever before.
 For the future we must have q government that can be loved, not merely supported. We must have men who because of ideals or humble beginnings will be devoted to the in terests of the people as opposed to the sinister influences which, operat- ing behind the scenes, have played an altogether important part in national conventions.

replica from the plans and descriptions

the last minute, the sturdy hull OF a
clipper ship was found in the harbor
of Los Angeles, just short distance
from the place where the search was
organized.
The old hull was fitted out for sea
