ASHEvILLE. N. c., July 20.-Havins
pledged themselves to defeat Gov
Smith, delegates to the conference Of
dry Southern Democrats separated to-
day TO carry their campaign against the
nominee to their home States.
Before adtourning, the conference
adopted a statement of its aims and
principles, attacking the New York gov.
ernor for what was termed his repudi-
alton of the Houston platform on pro-
hibition." his selection of a wet Re-
publican" as chairman of the Demo
record" and his relation to Tammany
Hall.
The statement declared answering
allegiance To the principles of true
democracy" bat asserted that I'VE can
not support Gov. Alfred E. Smith, the
nominee of the Houston convention for
the presidency of the United States,
and we hereby pledge ourselves as anti
Smith Democrats to use all proper and
honorable means TO secure his defeat"
Recall Bone-Dry Battle.
Lengthy reference was made to the
battle for a bcne-dry plank at the
Democratic national convention and to
Gov. Smiths telegram pledging en-
Iorcement of the prohibition laws. but
declaring for their modification. In
this connection. Smith was accused OF
'shnltine" the party platform, and his
message was termed "bra2en political
effrontery. planned IN advance, IN order
TO secure wet Republican votes.
1t was. at the same time, the state
rert continued. open. inconSloerate
defiance of the position of dry Demo-
Gratis everywhere. and especially IN the
South
COY Smith was charged with being
~scgresSively. irreconcilably wet. an adj
xocste of the saloon, and an opponent
of ali restrictive measures against Sa-
looms when he was in the State Legls-
lature" i
IT is unthinkable." the statement OF
principles said. that the moral, rellg-
ious leadership of the South can be
party to the election of such man as
Gov. Smith, thus being guilty of an
open betrayal of the great social. eco
non1ic and moral reform which was won
for our children and our homes after
years of unselflsh labor
Attack Raskob.
I'VE believe We represent multiplied
thousands of lifelong Democrats. who
have decided that genuine Democracy
will be better served by the defeat Of
the wet Tammany sachem than by his
election. and who as anti-Smtth Demo-
Gratis viii act accordingly.
A considerable part OF the statement
was devoted to an attack upon the ap-
pointment of John j. RaSkob as chair
man of the Democratic national COM
ulittee and upon Tammany Hall.
The campaign against Gov. Smith is
TO be conducted by an executive COM
mittee comprising man and woman
each from Alabama. Florida, Georgia.

souri, Oklahoma. Kentucky. West Viz

WATSON PINS T ARM
HOPES ON HOOVER
Indiana Senator Tells Rural
Friends No Reason Exists
to Bolt Party.
Ry the Associatcd Press.

BY the Associated Press.
COEYDON, Ind. July 20.--A plea to
! the Republican farmer to stick to his
party in the coming elections was made
today by Senator Watson in an address
prepared for delivery at political rally
! here.
Senator Watson's speech was deliv-
cred here today by Maurice Robinson
of Anderson, Ind. who in 1926 was VIM
ner of the National Intercollegiate Ora
torical Contest
The senior Indiana Senator was I'M
able to meet with the Indiana Repub-
lican editors at West Baden and
Corydon because of an eye infection
The Senator argued that the eQuali-
cation fee, which he so firmly advocated
and still believes in. was not favored
by either party In their platforms and
asked. assuming both platforms were
similar in general. why a Republican
farmer should go to the Democrats for
relief
Some Other Plan Possible.
Commenting on the fact that Presi-
dent Coolidge had vetoed the McNary-
Haugen bill, including the fee provision
he declared that the act of the Presi-
dent should not stand for the act of
the entire party
While still processing faith in the eco
nomic Soundness of the fee principle.
he advised farmers to expect some
measure to aid agriculture that does not
contain this provision
The Republican national convention
was decidedly against it," he added.
Thus the last party declaration is
one of opposition to it, so that for the
present campaign the equalization fee
Is out of it so far SIS the Republican
party is concerned.
Sees Democrats D0dging.
But, on the other hand" he de-
clared, "the Democratic party does not
Squarely favor the. equalization fee"
Senator Watson said it was signifi-
cant that Gov. Smith in answer to
telegram from the president of the In
diana Farm Bureau Federation, did not
mention the equalization fee. nor does
he sQuarely face what he thinks the
of the farm problem is. Gov.
Smith he added. spoke of concrete
plan and of a definite program here
after to be worked out ct conference.
IF there be no difference between the
two. how can any Republican farmer
vote the Democratic ticket with the
hope of finding relief in that party's
platform declarations" he asked.

There Is a new bird at the Zoo, the

his head.
1t is young green parrot from
West Africa of variety rare In cap
tivity.
Sometimes he will repose. fiat on his
back on the floor of his cage until the
attendants are afraid that he is dead
and poke him to find out. Then he
emits raucous laugh, as If 1t was a
good joke on the men. and flies to his
perch. At other times he will turn
somersault after somersault, balancing
himself on the top of his head for
second at every turn. At other times
he will stand on his head. clutch the
bars with his claws for support, and
