DEMOCRATS KEEP
CLOSE WATCH ON

California Victory For

BY PAUL r. MALLON

WASHINGTON, April 30.-The
ears Of Democratic leaders are cup
ped TO hear the result of the Cali
forna primary tomorrow. There
Governor Smith, Senator Walsh of
Montana, and Senator Reed of
Missouri will fight out their candi
dacies in open competition for the
first time.
The fight means more than the
mere selection of California dele.
gates because California is the home
state of William g. McAdoo
Smith 8 contestant in the 1924 con
vention.
1t is the first time the three out
standing candidates of the party
have gone before the voters and the
Smith people believe that q victory
there means the fight is over.
McAdoo has endorsed Walsh and
his state organization has been
working FOR the discoverer of the
Teapot Dome scandals. But many
Democratic leaders through the
state have endorsed Smith. Reports
in Democratic circles here have in
dicatcd that the fight lies particu
larly between Walsh and Smith.
If Smith should win in McAdoo g
home state, his supporters believe
all opposition to him will be dis
couragcd. They even are talking of
the possibility that the Houston
convention may nominate him by
acclamation after the first ballot.
The California situation was the
chief topic of discussion as the
committee on arrangements met
here today to select n keynote
speaker for the convention and
make other plans.
Claude Bowers, editorial writer of
the New York World and author
of several Democratic party his
tories, is slated for the post. lie is
favorable TO Smith.
The California primary is the
only one of the week. Republican
conventions will be held in Ten
nesscc, Arkansas. Utah and Wash
ington. Secretary Hoover has no
opposition in the Republican Cali
fornia race and his campaign man.
ayers expect to get the delegates to
be chosen in Tennessee and Wash
ington.
In Arkansas former Governor
Lowdcn is putting up a contest and
in Utah the delegation is expected
to be uninstructed.

For the purpose of stimulating
interest in new road to Laguna,
which will bring that beauty spot
within SO miles of Imperial Valley,
party of FL Centre citizens plan
a picnic tomorrow morning, leaving
the FL Centre Chamber Of Commerce
headquarters promptly at 8 O'Clock.
The picnic is the result Of Il re

ed to join the caravan and it is par

WASHINGTON, April 30.-Sen.
ator Smoot of Utah opened the at
tack on the Swing johnson Boulder
Dam Bill in the senate today, term.
ing the proposed dam "the great
est engineering risk in history"
81 am unwilling to pass this bill
merely because it is distasteful to
the power intercsts,' Smoot said.
cit may be distasteful to them but
it is also distasteful to great Sec
tions of our Republic.
''It will do much more harm to
the innocent bystander than it will
to the power interests because it is
50 thoroughly unsound."
Smoot said advocates of the bill
are pleading it would provide flood
control for the Imperial valley
whereas flood control is minor
point. Only $7,O00,0O0 of the
1925, 100000 authorized by the bill
would be necessary for flood con-
troll, he said.
Smoot's speech runs 10000 words.
1t is expected to require two days
to deliver.
Ashurst Raps Walsh
Ashurst read into the record =
| newspaper article stating that an
appeal had been made to San Diego,
Cal, citizens to contribute money to
establish lobby in Washington for
the bill.
The appeal was supposed to have
been made by the Imperial Valley
American Conservation club.
Ashurst made his charge after
Senator Walsh of Montana had call
ed attention to evidence before the
federal trade commission indicating
that the so called power combine
was working against the pending
Johnson-Swing Boulder dam.
Ashurst referred to Walsh s presi-
! Dental candidacy and said:
"a man who aspires to be presi-.
| dent should present both sides of u
question"
Walsh replied he was interested
particularly Gin the activities of
the power trust and that the
Boulder dam matter was only an in
