cessful knows that we must leave
here with good feeling prevailing"
Asked as TO his idea Of the time
for the start of balloting, Mr.. Var
Nance said he believed the ballot
ing would start Thursday.
Immediately after that" he said,
"the campaign for Governor Smith
will be started with the enthusiasm
attached TO everything with which
he is connected"
The convention should end some
time Friday, he thought. THE
choice Of q candidate for vice presi-
dent is very important" he said,
"and certainly the convention will
not hurry through this nomination"
The candidate might come from
any section on the country, he re-
piled TO a query as 10 the possibility
Of the choice falling on a southern
man. The candidate might come
from the south as we'll as any other
section, but not for the reason that
he would be needed 20 carry his
state or any group of states"
Mr.. Van Nance said he had not
heard that a seconding speech for
Governor Smith might be made by
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson. ct would be
very gracious Of Mrs. Wilson to Sec
ond the governors nomination. he
said. but we have not been advised
that she will do so. There will be
about six brief seconding speeches"
The Smith manager thought the
platform would be worked out with
out great difficulty, and no fight.
Senator Robert Y. Wagner, New
York's representative on the resolu-
tions committee, will hold a number
~ conferences today with Others a.

livered the following prayer at the

individuals TO this hour.
Thou who art the giver OF all good
author Of eternal life, send thy
blessings upon these thy servants

form a duty of patriotism-a duty
Of justice and right for the welfare
Of all people.
I'VE bow before thee with unre-
served gratitude and acknowledge
thy supremacy and dominion over
US.
I'VE believe that thou art the Gre
ator Of all things.
I'VE believe with mistaken faith
that thou didst give thine only son,
Jesus Christ, TO save as from sin
and lead us into high and holy liv-
ing.
I'VE ask that divine wisdom may
direct the deliberations Of this ma
tionai convention. We ask unbound
ed mercy for all citizens throughout
the United States, that they may be
preserved in union and in that peace
which Is thine.
And now, o Christ, we would pray
together the prayer thou didst teach
thy disciples to pray.
Our Father. who art in heaven.
hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom
come; thy will be done on earth AZ
u Is in heaven; give US this day our
daily bread; and forgive US our tres
passes, MS we forgive those who tres
pass against Us; and lead US not into
temptation, but deliver US from evil:
for thine il the kingdom. and the
power, and the glory, forever and
ever.

Associated Press Staff Writer

HOUSTON. June 2s.-(P-Alfred
r smith enters the democratic ma
tional convention today with first
ballot votes definitely in line for him
nearly fifty short of the nominating
mark, but he is assured of so many
more whenever he needs them that
his friends and many or his po-
iitical foes regard his nomination as
inevitable.
Although his manager had given
no indication that they were trying
TO bring about the New York govern
or's selection on the first roll call,
there were predictions that this
would happen. They we're based on
. belief that Smith would be 20 near
the nomination as the initial ballot
nears an end that many delegates,
having discharged obligations By
voting for fsvorite-sons, would shift
to his standard before announcement
OF the result.
Continue Fight
From some quarters. however, came
forecasts that two or more ballots
would be required. and here and
there bitter-end opponents of the
New Yorker clung TO the belief that
IN some way he could be headed off.
Overnight, several new favorite-
son candidates had sprung up to
claim the support OF some delegates
on at least the first ballot. Senator
Pat Harrison was put in the field by
the Mississippi delegation. The forty
delegates from Texas mustered under
the banner of Jesse II. Jones. Chief
Justice Watts of South Carolina was
brought out as the favorite of the IS
delegates from that state.
In addition, at caucuses, the Indi-
ana delegation decided TO stand by
Woollen. the Kansas delegates by
Ayres and the two dozen Tennessee
n by Hull, and the Alabama dele
gates decided 70 split their votes
among George, Hull, Donahey, Jones
and Woollen.
Smith Men Sure
These developments encouraged
some of the Smith opponents, who
have been striving TO keep votes away
from the leading candidate 70 wear
down his strength after a few ballots.
They also have been hoping that the
Arkansas and Oklahoma delegates, at
caueuses still to be held. would re-
main aloof from the Smith camp. at
least AZ the outset Of balloting.
But the leaders Of the movement
to make Snfth the presidential NOM
inee looked forward with confidence.
