Democracy. which held an attitude OF

on its hands to keep the party in line

The Women's Christian Temperance

Smiths electors getting majority in
Texas
Gov Dan Moody who prevented the
State convention from being instructed
against Smith but who personally
opposed Smith on the dry question and
diverted the 40 Texas nominating votes
from Smith to Jesse III. Jones of Texas,
likely will take the stump after his own
denomination for governor this month,
and campaign In the State until
November, calling on Democrats to vote
the ticket straight.
Republicans have capitalized the
threats of a general prohibition bolt Of

Smith as likely to be fair to business
in general was apparent here even be-
fore Mr.. Raskob, an outstanding repre-
sentative of business, was announced as
the manager of the Democratic ma
tional campaign. 1t Is not likely to be
any less so now.
These developments make 1t evident
that the burden Of carrying Ohio for
the Republican national ticket is more
than ever thrown upon the shoulders
of the Republicans OF the rural por-
lions of the state. Those sections, II
will be recalled did not elect Hoover
delegates to the Kansas City conven-
ton. even after the death of Senator
Willis, Ohio's favorite son candidate
for the presidency. but there Is no rea-
son TO believe that the Republicans in
the agricultural sections of the state
are nursing grievances that date back
to the presidential primary contest. In
fact the differences between factions
of the party that sprang out of that
contest have not proved at all such
serious obstacles as predicted by the
Republicans who we're active In trying
to prevent the filing of Mr.. Hoover's
name as candidate in that primary.
Face Gubernatorial Fight.
A bitter campaign for the Republic
an nomination for governor is more
likely to cause trouble for the Republic
ans. That contest has narrowed down
between Attorney General Edward c.
Turner Representative James T. Begg
and Myers Y. Cooper, and these three
men In their primary campaigns are
frequently brought to the same plat
forms, addressing the same assemblages,
and they do not hesitate to charge
each other with very serious matters.
The Bryan element of the Demo-
cratic party here. already out of step
with the party since the nomination
of Gov. Smith. was thrown into
an attitude of outright hostility by
the interview of Senator Edge OF New
Jersey last week, in which he expressed
himself as glad that Mr.. Bryan was
not here to interfere with the course
the party is now taking. Nothing could
have been more unfortunate to any
effort to hold the Bryan Democrats In
line for the national ticket. This and
the selection of Raskob to lead the
party In the campaign will cause the
bulk of the Bryan Democrats in Ohio
to fall out OF line so far as the national
campaign Is concerned.

STRESS DRY ISSUE.

SIOUX FALLS, g. OAK, July IA.
Although II is reported the national

While Republicans breathed a sigh
OF relief when the message came

message Senator Norris delivered to
give hope to the Democrats who look
for a considerable detection among the
farmers, because of failure of the DOM
