Va. VOTERS HEAR
MACHINE HIT

Democratic voters Of Caroline
county, Va, were urged at meeting
in Bowling Green last night to
overthrow the tyrannical political
hierarchy" by defeating the ma.
chine candidate for governor. John
Garland Pollard, and electing Dr..
William Mosely Brown.
The meeting was presided over
by j. w. Guerrant, chairman of the
Independent Democrats OF Caroline
county, who introduced as speakers
]. Cloyd Byars, of Arlington, and
Frank Lyon, state chairman of the
nti.Smith Independent Democrats.
Byars said this years election
would cast its lights or its shadows
on the election to Congress in 1880
and upon the Presidential campaign
of 1882. Behind the States issues,
said Byars, looms the false doc
trine of constitutional nullifica-
tion,' blatantly proclaimed by, Gov
ernor Smith and facility concurred
in by Pollard and the machine.
If we adopt as our campaign
slogan Virginia's motto, Sic Semper
Tyrannis,' the patriots OF Virginia
will say it with ballots, concluded
Byars.
Chairman Lyon charged that Ras-
kob money was financing Pollard 8
campaign and declared that Pol
lard's election would be an endorse
ment of the villification heaped
upon the Protestant people of Vir-
ginia by Pollard. Byrd, Glass and
Swanson in the last campaign.
Browns election, on the other hand,
would mean reputation Of
Smithism and Raskobism and be
the first step in a nationwide move
ment to return control of the Demo.
cratic party into the hands of it's
friends.

HAGUE

THE HAGUE, Aug. 10 Q.N.Sl.--
At least one set of compromise pro-
posals to meet Great Britain's de-
mand for a larger share OF German
reparations will be presented when
the financial commission of The
Hague conference meets tomorrow.
il was learned from an authoritative
source this afternoon.
AS private conferences among the
British, French. Belgian, Italian and
German delegates continued this aft
ernoon, 1t was understood an effort
was being made TO work out COM
promise that would be mutually sat-
isfactory without throwing the en-.
tire Young plan into the discard.
The negotiators were seeking con.
cessions all round SO that the whole
burden world not fall upon any par
ticular power.
Further conflict is threatened over
deliveries in kind by Germany. The
English want payments Of this kind
discontinued; the Germans want
them TO continue.
The experts of the political COM
mission were to renew their discus
zion of Rhineland evacuation during
the afternoon. The British are sup
porting the German request for
evacuation during the autumn, while
the French are seeking delay.
A slightly more optimistic note
prevailed in the confidential advices
reaching Washington today con-
corning the allied reparations con-
ference at The Hague.
Yesterday. and for several days
past, officials here have been pre-.
pared for an abrupt termination Of
the gathering. due to Franco.
British differences. The fact that
the conference, is being prolonged
even through the medium Of
frequent adjourDments-was re-
garded today as hopeful sign.

Mrs. Hoover and most of the
women guests at camp were re-
turning last Sunday, the day fol-
lowing Mr.. Hoover's fifty.fifth
birthday, from a horseback ride.
Cutting into the trail leading to
camp they came upon an 11.year-
old of the mountains, a boy. also
astride a horse. His face was
cleaning from what probably was
an unaccustomed acrubbing. He
wore his best Sunday overalls. I'm.

young guest present of a number

Mrs. Hoover thought the lad

evidently had schooled him against
such an eventuality, for he doggedly
insisted he'd "et dinner" After
much persuasion, however, he was
turned over to Borras, the Hoover
valet. and sent in search of a piece
of birthday cake.

"Do you know Lindy?" asked
Borras by way OF making con-

AIS CONTROL
IS SLIPPING IN
PARTY AFFAIRS
Old Southern Woodrow VIII
son Group Expected TO
Go Back Into Saddle.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press Staff Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Re-
alignment of control over the Demo-
cratic party's national affairs ap-
peared likely to many politicians
here as a result OF Tammany's re-
lection of Alfred E. Smiths leader
ship and the election of his bitter
enemy, John F, Curry, as leader Of
the hall.
Belief here is that the Smith
Raskob control established in the
last campaign will be supplanted by
the return of survivors Of the old
Woodrow Wilson group, chiefly
southern leaders who resented
Smith Tammany leadership.
Leadership of national party af-
fairs is expected here to lie for the
next few years largely in the hands
of such men as Senator Joseph 7.
Robinson of Arkansas, Senators
Garter Glass and G. A. Swanson of
Virginia, Senator r. M. Simmons of
North Carolina, Representative Cor
dell Hull Of Tennessee. Major John
S. Cohen of Atlanta, Senator
Thomas Walsh of Montana. and
Representative John Garner Of
Texas, most of whom intimately
were associated with Woodrow Will
son.
Smiths loss of prestige in New
York state politics is regarded here
as definitely eliminating him as a
future presidential possibility.
His influence in national party af
fairs is expected to be slight in the
future.
Such influence as New York ex-
perts in Democratic national af-
fairs hereafter will be from the or
ganization in control of Tammany
as it is upon this organization the
party must depend to carry New
York state.
