SMITH To BEAT
HOOVER, SAYS
RITCH|E
BIZ GOV. ALBERT @. Richie

By GOV. ALBERT G. RITCHIE
(Governor Of the Maryland Free state.
VINO retired from the Presidential
Race to support Al smith.
written Exclusively for international
News Service.
HOUSTON, Tex. June 25.-T
think Gov. Alfred e. Smith will be
nominated by the Democratic con-
ventfon on the second, IL not the
first ballot and that he viii be
elected President of the United
states next November.
Governor Smith will be nominated
because party success depends
upon party unity and Governor
Smith il the man who offers far
and away the best chance Tor
unity.
The Democratic party il not
going to have another Madison
Square Garden. We do not want
any dissension that can be properly
avoided. Governor Smith gives the
best assurance of victory and that
is what this convention wants.
Governor Smith will be elected
because the campaign will be be-
tween an efficiency expert on one
side and n man who knows the
heart Of -the people on the other.
Governor Smith has proved himself
great administrator and he knows
government.
Government deals with more than
charts and blue prints and me-
chanics. 1t deals with human be-
ings as well. Governor Smith
knows humanity, and the American
people will be for the man who
stands for human rights.

and Adviser OF Governor Smith
(Written Exclusively for international

HOUSTON, Tex, June 25.-It
Ia my firm conviction that Gov,
Alfred e. Smith will be nominated
as the Democratic standard bearer
and will be elected as the next
President of the United States.
The personality and public record
OF Governor Smith is such that ii
has won the hearts of the people
of the United States.
1t has been my privilege tor have
been d representative OF. the ma
tional committee for % years.
have gone through many campaigns,
I have seen men Of splendid char
acter and great capability nomi-
mated by the Democratic party for
the Presidency, but / am frank to
say that to my mind and from my
experience with men in public
affairs, there is no man better
fitted for this high honor than
Alfred Il. Smith.
j have made a canvass OF con.
ditions throughout the country,
both by personal contact and by
mail, and have found an over
whelming sentiment for Governor
Smith. I am confident that the
Democratic party as whole rec
ognizes his fitness for the nomina.
ton and I do not believe there il
any doubt about his being chosen,
I look for his nomination on d
very early ballot.

HOUSTON, Texas, June 25.--Sc-
ciety note: Chairs have been re-
moved from the lobby Of the Rice
Hotel. This gives every fellow a
chance to stand on his own legs
for a change.
The congestion is so heavy in
the lobby that one never knows
where he'll end UP once he takes
a vertical pose.
You might start out in the
company of your wife and before
you know it you're escorting the

There is suspicion here that
Al Smiths picture. hanging in

firmation suit.
Looking over the subject. we
can see another reason why he
should be elected. He can lock
his own bow ties.
About the only thing that could
get the solid Texas vote for Al
smith would be to show him in
picture rolling a cigarette with
one hand.
They're showing the famous
seventh round of the Dempsey
Tunney fight here on the screen
at the present time. Tunney's
knockdown Is supposed to be an
object in how a fellow can drag
his pants off the floor once he's
down.

this gave some Of the boys =
chance to get wet on the outside.
Many delegates went to church
here yesterday but the effect
was spoiled when q band across
the street played: How dry ]

Seems that the MKT railway
station is located just across the
street and some of the eastern
delegations were being poured

FOR FATHERS
DEFEAT
D Yn.ernasional News service

HOUSTON, Tex, June 25.-
Genevieve Clark Thomson, daugh-
ter Of the late Speaker Champ
Clark, echoed some OF the bitter.
ness OF the famous Clark-Wilson
battle at Baltimore 10 years ago.
at the meeting of the contest sub.
committee, when she hurled into
the face OF Col. Robert Ewing, of
New Orleans, his part in the de.
feat of her father for the nomina-
ton that woodrow Wilson got.
The contest subcommittee was
considering the belated contest filed
by citizens Of Louisiana against
the seating Of the delegation seated
by the State central committee.
In the midst Of legal arguments
being made by former State At.
torney General Harr Cyanide and
Fred Claiborne, that the State CEN
trai committee had acted illegally,
Ewing, himself elected . delegate
ana the new national committee
man, suggested that it had been
the custom for q newly elected
governor to select and control the
delegation to national conven.
ton, the central committee had
acted pursuant to that custom, he
said.
He Denies Charge
.eThe incoming governor in 1921
favored my father, and you favored
woodrow Wilson" Mrs. Thomson
said. She had risen to her feet at
Ewing's intersection and stood op.
posite, her flashing eyes In con-
tragt to her calm voice. you led
the fight against my father then,
and did not at that time think the
governor should control the dele
enc. Senator Broussard led that
fight" replied Ewing.
swell, I have always been led
to believe that you did, /" insisted
Mrs. Thomson.
IT am ready to admit that Sena-
tor Broussard had more influence
In Louisiana politics. and he led
that fight" Ewing countered.
Mrs. Thomson il the present
national committeewoman from
Louisiana, who goes out of office
If the Ewing delegation is seated
and the new committeeman and
woman are confirmed.
In Strange Plight
A strange feature Of the Louisiana
contest is that unless the delegates
chosen by the State central commit.
tee are seated, the State is likely
TO Be uEaPepresented at the convex
ton. The contestants will appear
before the credentia1 committee
merely as citizens and do not hold
credentials from even a "rump"
State convention.
They will ask to be seated, how
ever, on the ground that the ma
tional convention is the sole judge
OF its membership, and should ac-
cept them rather than delegates
holding illegal credentials "satu-
rated with fraud. :,
