Notifies Convention That
He Believes Law Should
Be Altered.
By PERCIE 3. SCOTT
United Press Staff CorlaSpondent)

ALBANY, n. Y, June 29-Gov-
ernor Alfred f. Smith remains de-
termined that the prohibition law
should be changed.
Less than Is hours after his nomi-
nation for president by the Demo
cratic national convention, Smith
wired Senator Joseph Robinson
permanent chairman of the conyen-
ton, as follows:
"It is well known that l believe
there should be fundamental chang
es in the present provisions for ma,
tional prohibition, based, as | stat
ed in my jackson Day letter, on
the fearless application to the prob
lem of the principles of jefferson
ian democracy
Definite assurance that the gov
ernor would go beyond the Demo
cratic platform, which calls for
strict enforcement of the Eight
eenth Amendment, and carry the
prohibition fight to the voters was
given when he promised to "raise
my view before the public when |
formally accept the nomination.
Renews Pledge
In announcing his plan to work
for change in the prohibition laws
Smith reiterated the stand he took
a few days before the Houston con-
vention, when, in answer to a ques-
ton, he said he still favored alter
ing the 18th amendment.
Previously he had declared for
enforcement of the law while it was
on the statute books, at the same
time reserving the right to work for
its amendment in an "orderly fash
ion. -
II think of no greater privilege
in this world than to serve our
country,' Smiths telegram said.
"My gratitude to the convention
for its expression of confidence in
me I cannot adequately express in
this telegram. L will have to make
it manifest by single handed devo-
tion to the United States and heI
people in every section

ority flood leader of the United
States Senate is the man nominated
by the Democratic national conven-
tion today as vice presidential run
ming mate for Governor Alfred +.
Smith.
'srighting Joe" is what friends
call Senator Joseph T. Robinson OF
Arkansas. Robinson came by the
title Justly. On several occasions he
las been known to use his fists ad-
vantageously. Two years ago ON It
Washington golf course, the senator
was forced to trail one of the most
lcthargic golfers who must have 500
yards clear ahead before he can
make his second shots. Robinson
stood it Just 50 long. Some choice
remarks were exchanged on the
tenth tee. Robinson forgot his 53
years Che is 80 now) and floored
lis man for the count after one ex-
change.
The incident typifies Robinson's
aggressive nature. He is just as
tough an opponent Ii debate as he
is a fighter.
In making speeches he stamps his
feet and beats the air with his
fists. He will be great help to
Smith on the stump.
Defended Smith
Robinson has been mentioned fire.
quently for second place ON the
1lcket for eight years.
The senator was first mentioned
rs an ideal running mate for Smith
last January when he made speech
to the Senate answering attacks of
/ Senator IIeflin of Alabama levelled
against Smith, the Catholic church
and Tammany.
In that speech Robinson pleaded
for religious tolerance. Hefln told
him Alabamans would have tarred
and feathercd him if he made such
speech in Alabama.
Heflin even challenged Robin
son s leadership of the party in the
! senate. Robinson Immediately called
! a caucus and Senate Democrats
voted SO to l to upohld him. The
one opposing vote was understood
to have been cast by a Texas SEN
. ator.
Robinson is not considered either
progressive or reactionary. He has
Favored much liberal legislation and
opposed some. His democracy is
! that of the Wilsonian school. He has
been particularly interested in re-
Vision of the tariff commission and
tariff duties.
For Farm Relief
lie has counselled for moderation
in tax reduction legislation. He voted
against the Walsh resolution for in
Vestigation of the so-called power
combine. He voted for the McNary
Haugen bill.
His nomination was favored be
cause he is westerner, and at the
same time Il southerner. He has al
ways advocated strong farm reliet
legislation. As much as any Other
Democratic leader in the preconven
ton campaign he has pleaded fol
religious tolerance.
Those who promoted his candidacy
said he could carry Arkansas, Okla
homa, and Missouri and would hold
the border states of Tennessee and
Kentucky.

LOCAL MAN MAY
HAVE TO FACE
MURDER COUNT

George w. Priest, father in law
of Harmon Temple of Ell Centre,
died in the Long Beach hospital last
night from injuries suffered from a
gunshot wound, inflicted, police
claim, by Temple during an argu-
ment over the latter's treatment of
Mrs. Temple.
1t is expected that a criminal
complaint, charging Temple with
murder, will be issued against the
FL Centre man today. He has been
held at the Long Beach Jail on a
complaint charging him with as
sault with deadly weapon since
the shooting.
A shotgun was used by Temple,
police aver, the discharge at short
range tearing away flesh from the
shoulder and breast of the dead
man. Priest was not expected to
survive the injury, his condition be-
ing critical from the first and his
age being against him in his fight
for life.
Temple claimed that Priest had
reached toward his hip pocket as
though to draw gun just prior to
his shooting but investigation by
police is said to have disproved the
allegation, the nature of the wounds
making such an action practically
impossible.
Temple is we'll known throughout
this vicinity. He has been in the
courts here considerably during the
last year in both civil and criminal
actions growing out of controver-
sy with H. j. Bornt over some cat
tie.
