GOV. SMITH AND TAMHANY.

People who have acquired prejudices against Tammany, largely on account of things that are s.npw history. and who oppose Gov Smith for the Presidency "beeause he belongs to Tammany,'' make mistake. Gov. Smith does not belong to Tammany. Tammany belongs to Gov Smith and largely because of his control it is not the game Tammany against which old prejudces exist In recnt yeaps long existing civic organi- zations which formed for the purpose of fighting the organization have been supporting Tammany tickets Nearly all of the ndepend- ents in New York who in days gone by have been known as Anti-Tammany men, have supported Gov Smith in the last several campaigns for the Governorship and most of them for him for the Presidency.
 More than once Gov Smith forced Tammany to bend to his will and finally he acquired pres tge that enabled him. with the aid of fine bunch of high-type men, to reorganize the famous organization basis that is unexeelled among political bodies. Its administration of New York City has earned and got commendation from ex- perts on municipal government and students oi civic matters.

EASTERN REPUBLICANS ACCEPTING
 HOOVER?

The announcement of c Bascom Slemp that he fayors the nomination of Secretary Hoover for President by the Republicans foretells the col lapse of the movement to draft the President or to nominate MT. Hughes or a dark horse MT Slemp was one of the main factors in the group that has hot wanted Secretary Hoover but which has been suspected et desiring to repeat the 1920 performance when Senator Harding dark horse was nominated after Gen. Wood. Gov Lowden and Senator Johnson had killed each other off 0thefs supposed to be in the plan are c. D. HHes of New York, former Senator Butler of Massaebu- setts Secretary Mellon of Pennsylvania and their associates
 It is not likely that MT. semp would have made his Hoover declaration without consulting with others of his group. He is an organization worker rather than free lance. One of his prin- .cpal tasks has been 10 corral Southern delegates He and former Senator Marion Butler of North Carolina controlled most of the Southern dele gates in the Republican convention in 1920. and threw them to Senator Harding when Penn sylyania changed from Gov. Sproul New York from Nicholas Murray Butler and Massachusetts from Coy. Coolidge and went to the man from Ohio.
 If we are to judge the future by the past we might look to see New York Pennsylvania Mas sachusetts and other Eastern States where the leaders have been working for uninstructed dele cations. fall into line for MT. Hoover just as MT. Slemp has done.
 There is a reason for this decision to support Mir. Hoover The people are not in hnmor for another Harding nomination.. They want ont standing men for standard bearers. It is conceded that the Democrats will nominate Gov. smith the most prominent public man of their nar,v frhe Republicans must likewise nominate lead ing man if they hope for success.

More or iess True

A husband with a "stay-at-home and-read-by-the-fire" complex gets about as much kick out of an eve ming social function as d man with boil on his neck would out of threeJring circus.
 After all about the nearest thing to the ideal husband is the one who is content with bakers pies and bread and meals dumped from a can because they save his wife from slaving in the kitchen over a hot stove
 The winds may be tempered to the shorn lamb. but nothing seems to have been done about temper ing the weather to the exposed calves.
 Most married men have their faults, but the husband who keeps the tenderloin of the porterhouse steak for himself and gives his wife the tough end is about as rare as day in June.
 Now and then you find a wo- man who goes to the movies be- cause she quickly discovered the other players would bawl her out for a bonehead play at bridge just like her husband does when her cooking isn't up to snuff.
 It is getting so whenever high CT things are mentioned every body thinks of the hems on flap pers' skirts.

What the WeI-Dressed Delegate Will Wear.
fNew York Times. )


 Rowing to the threat of a proletarian insur- reetion, Tammany Hall has cut down the number of "high-hat" delegates to the Houston convention In the realm of politics high hat now means what silk-stocking used to mean once upon time. Today naturally, there are no such things as silkstocking districts and silk-stocking delegates. If anything, the amount of silk stocking displayed on Grand Street is apt to be in excess of the amount displayed on Fifth Avenue. e9
 But this does not mean that the silk hat IS particularly happy of social nuances. Except for ultra-formal occasions, the shiny cylinder seems to be obsolete. On formal occasions it noarshes just luxuriantly among Iammany district leaders elsewhere in town The consumption of silk hats at civil employees balls and public receptions to distinguished aviat- ors probably exceed the statistics Park Avenue. This leaves entirely out of consideration the fact that the silk hat manoeuvre is likely to prove of doubtful value at Houston Whatever ralment New York City's Democracy dons for the occasion the enemy will have his say If it IS brown derbies, people will say Tammany If lit IS silk hats, people will say Wall Street But TIT 1t is settled that Al Smith cannot be nom mated without an elaborate piece of sartorial strategy, this department would suggest bath ing suits
