''As good feeling and unity pre-

Ability of Governor Alfred Z.
Smith as Leader.

London, June 80 P-Only two
morning papers commented today on
the nomination of Gov. Alfred E.
Smith. This was perhaps due to the
fact that Herbert c. Hoover was SO
we'll known here through his war
work that his nomination attracted
more editorial notice
The Times said the democratic
party had chosen "a man whose
power OF attracting and retaining
followers is comparable to that of
the Piper of Hamelin." Neverthe-
less the paper thought that this task
of winning the necessary number OF
votes in the electoral college would
not be easy

In comparing the two candidates.
the paper said:
"HooNer's special strength. as re-
Nealed In seven years in high Of

capacity of the country by confer
cnces and agreed economies, by the
elimination of waste and by the de-
Nclopment of foreign markets. Smith

lie combines a great record Of pro-

"tSciency and an instinct for the due
limits of government action"
The Chronicle
The Daily Chronicle said:
Whether Hoover or Smith is
elected the United States will have
strong executive and ruler. Both
men are forccful and have many
sided abilities and unblemished rec
ords."
Rcmarking on the possibility OF
smith being elected president with
out democratic majority In con-
ercss with the consequent situation
similar to Woodrow Wilson's second
term. the paper thought that this
might have unfortunate repercus-
SlohS on the course of the foreign
policy of the United States"
The paper. however. said; Apart
from that slight risk. foreigners may
view the prospect with unusual con-
fidencc. In either case a president
fully worthy of the leading place
which the United States holds seems

TIMES of the party in the hands OF
Az Smith and Joe" Robinson.
The convention which has lust
come to a close cannot be charged
with doing things by half measures
When these democrats started out 10
nominate candidates they were nom-
mated with a flourish. 1t was sc
when the presidential choice was
mado Thursday and again on the
vice president yesterday afternoon.
OF to Lead
Senator Joseph r. Robinson of Ar
kansas was off with q great lead
when the lce-preSidential nomina.
ton came up for consideration and
his friends said it with votes until
he was credited with more than 900
at the close of the roll.
Senator A. w Rarkley of Ken
lucky ard Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross
former governor of Wyoming
changed the votes of their state es
from their own account to that OF
the Arkansas senator as soon as they
could work their way to the plat
form. the enthusiastic delegates yell
ing for Robinson. and when the
books were finally closed the senate
minority leader had more than L.
900 of the 1,1S0 votes.
Probably he never will know how
many voted for him. for state chair
men were still shouting for recogni-
ton to give him some more when
the bands drowned them out.
Followers of boxing would have
said that the nomination was ir
the bag" for Senator Robinson. He
must have had suggestion that he
might be promoted from permanent
chairman to permanent candidate
for he kept his modesty intact by
remaining away from the convention
hall.
The delegates, alternates and yis-
itors started home with the strains
Of "The Sidewalks of New York
and "The Old Gray Mare, She Ain't
| What She Used TO Be-" ringing il
their ears. Some of them never
again may hear of the decline of OF,
Gray Mare. and possibly they vii
not be sorry. All the six bands fur
nishing music for the convention
/ seemed to have a yearninc for pre-
senting in tragic notes the sad fate

Campaign Song
THE Sidewalks of New York" was
expected to carry on as a campaign
song for the democrats. just behind
the two favorites was another folk
song i've Been Working on the
Railroad" and every band at ths
convention played "Dixie" many
times every day. The visitors prob.
ably will relish some Jazz pieces
when they get home. Certainly the
passing of the activities of the gray
mare will be tuned out by those who
fought the battle of Houston for Al
Smith and Joe Robinson.

WHITTIER, Cal, June 27-Any resident of Whittier who lived here in the nineties can get a ready hearing nowadays with anecdotes of Lou Henry's girl hood.
 For Lou, now Mrs. Herbert Hoover, has become Whittier's most distinguished resident.
 Whittier remembers Lou as an enthusiastic young girl in her early. teens, living in this Quaker town with her father and mother. MT. and Mrs Charles Henry. She was the eldest daughter, and her father was cashier in the village bank
 Lou, recollections of those days agree, was natural leader and a girl who inspired loyalty. Pic. lures are still extant of the girl as Joan of Arc in grammar grade tableau, garbed in heavy leather gauntlets and shining ar nor made of bright tim dists.a
 She liked outdoor sports and athletics despite the fact that ex- ercise was considered not quite

 She and her comrades had liter ary aspirations. too, and they formed club for reading and discussion, of which Lou was president. They met at the Henry home on South Painter avenue once week, and it is chronicled that they started their course of study with Dickens and his Pick wick Papers.
