OF sugary language that I was condemned to
do big funerals for ID months; but, generally

In those days was constantly finding myself
in Spain on one job another, and when

that trip was occasioned by what was known
the North Sea Fleet. You remember that
Russia was at war with Japan. The Russian
battleship squadron sailed from the Baltic.
On its way, Admiral Rodjestvensky had been
warned an attempt might be made to attack
him in the North Sea, the enemy being dis
guised as fishing boats. On the way down
they had come upon the Dogger Bank fishing
feet. and installing their character, fired on
them, with the result that boats were sunk and
a number of fishermen were killed. It was
on q Sunday morning that the news came
through to the office, and vas ordered to go
full speed to Vigo, the Sanish port where the
Russian feet was due to call. I reached Vigo
the day the feet came in but the chances Of
getting the story seemed rather remote, for
none of the sailors was allowed ashore, and
only a few picket boats with some high officials
landed Still it seemed pretty certain that I
might pick up a steward, and I did not quite
lose hope

About O'Clock in the morning q Russian

spoke Spanish, which was blessing for me, for

which was going to Tangiers. I did not reach
Tangers in time to see the Russion fleet az

I missed most of the connections.

ROOSEVELT HAPPY
At SMITHS STAND
ShouSe and Baker Add
Pledges of Support for
Democratic Nominee.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ALBANY, N. Y, July Gov.
Roosevelt was a happy, confident
Democratic presidential candidate to-
day
The big worry Of the Roosevelt camp,
whether or not former Gov. Smith
would support the Governors candidacy,
had been erased by the happy war
rior's" announcement late yesterday
that he would support the party.
To fill the Governors cup of salts
faction, Jouett Shouse. Smith champion
in pre-ncmination days, whose candi-
dacy for the convention chairmapship
was crushed by the Roosevelt forces
in the drive to victory, wired Dear
Frank" that he would do all he could
to help the Roosevelt Garner ticket
And late last night came word from
Cleveland that Newton D. Baker, dark
horse" candidate at the convention,
was backing the Governor
Little Said About Rumors.
The Roosevelt forces had said little
about the rumors that former Gov.
Smith might not support the nominee
whose selection he fought so bitterly,
but it was no secret that until he spoke
all was not sunshine in the Governor S
camp.
Capitol Hill was wondering today
whether the famous "Al" and Prank
friendship would be patched up, now
that the party battling is over. The
former Governor gave no hint as to
that in New York, and Mr.. Roosevelt
said just 13 words after reading the
Smith announcement: Gov. Smiths

of the moment was to get little
rest"
With frown on his face, the Happy
Warrior of 1928" gave out the following
statement in his skyscraper office:
Upon the urgent insistence of many
patriotic supporters. I entered the con-
test for the Democratic nomination for
the purpose of fighting for declara-
ton of principles in the interest Of the
whole country as we'll as the Democratic
party. The principles which I advo-
Gated have in part been adopted,
notably the declaration faYoring repeal
of the eighteenth amendment and i'm
mediate modification of the Volstead
act.
81 want my friends all over the
country to know that my heart is full
of gratitude for the loyalty which they
have displayed toward me. Since the
nomination was made at Chicago and
continuing to this moment, I have been
receiving thousands Of letters and tele-
grams from them looking to me for
advice and suggestion; thousands more
making definite suggestions to me.
Obviously, 1t will be impossible for me
to reply to them individually.
Most of the suggestions urge the
organization of an Independent politi-
cal party. These come from people
dissatisfied with the conventions of
both parties. To them I say it is not
practical, in our country, to start a
third party at this time, as it would
simply register a negative vote which
would accomplish nothing for the
people in their hour of need.
1--WE are living under a system OF
two major political parties The parties
out of power should constitute the
necessary check and audit upon the
party in power. The question before
US today for decision is, shall the rec
ord of the last IL years of Republican
administration be approved at the polls
in November? AS far is 1 am con-
cerned, I am totally dissatisfied with
that record and shall do nothing to
lend it countenance 1 shall therefore
support the Democratic party"
Smith, dressed In a complete outfit
of brown, from shoes to pocket hand
kerchief. tossed a pile of the state
ments onto table in front of nearly
SO newspapermen and then turned tc
go.
Smith said he had not conferred
with any of the Roosevelt managers. OF
William Gibbs McAdoo or any other
political leaders. He denied that he in
tended to 60 abroad Instead. he ex-
planned, he planned to leave Friday for
short vacation on Long Island.

statement confirms my confidence that
he would support the Democratic party.
The Governor is busy daily with State
business, but he is finding time to plan
for his campaign. While the general
outlines of his position en- most Of the
pressing campaign problems have been
pretty well set forth in speeches during
the last year or so, he Is preparing for
the addresses on particular subjects
which will provide the major spots in
his campaign.
Yesterday he talked to economists
ab.ut the effects of the depression upon
agriculture and with members of the
State power authority about water
power.
Tomorrow Mr.. Roosevelt will go to
his Hyde Park home, for a week end
of political conferences there and at
New York.
Replies to Be Limited.
Gov. Roosevelt let it be known he
would not reply to remarks Of Repub-
lican speakers other than those made
by President Hoover, his campaign
opponent. Preparatory to taking the
stump, he conferred with several econ
omists, discussing particularly the
effects of the depression upon agricul-
ture. At least one of the Governor S
major speeches will deal with agricul-
tural relief. 1t may be delivered in
Omaha
The Governor also talked with Frank
p. Walsh, chairman Of the New York
power authority, trusted with the de-
velopment Of the State industrial power
project on the st. Lawrence River
Walsh was accompanied by Delos M
Cosgrove of Watertown, member OF
the commission. They advised the Gov
ernor of the progress Of the negoeia-
tions for a treaty between the United
States and the Dominion Of Canada, a
necessary step to the completion OF
the New York project.
Water power development, one Of the
major planks in Mr. Roosevelt's plat
form as Governor, likely will play an
important part In his presidential cam
paign. He has said that thousands OF
men would be put to work and millions
Of dollars would be spent on power Jobs
and to that extent relieve the depres-
sion.
Confines Campaign Activity.
Sources close to Gov Roosevelt made
IL clear TODAY that the Governor will
