vague reports that Roosevelt had
made disparaging remarks about
Smiths abilities as Governor,
uttered when the present Cover
nor first took over the reins from
Smith. This has been denied by
Roosevelt. But the reports persist
in the half-world of gossip.
IF he ever comes out publicly in
i his war against his old friend.
Smith will criticise Roosevelt on
the ground that he is indecisive,
does not take positive stands on
issues. And it is reported Smith
will speak out, here this week.
Smith is the dominating type
of political boss" who demands
allegiance.
One has only to recall, to get
a picture of the real Smith, the
night he stood before the 1924
Democratic convention in Madi-
son Square Garden, threw out his
arms in masterful gesture, ana
proudly proclaimed:
Il am the boss of New York
state"
The galleries thundered for
their hero.
We look back at the Houston
convention of 1923. A handsome
man, leaning on his crutches,
came forward on the platform
and gave to the Democratic party
its bearer, with the apt
appellation THE Happy Warrior.
That was Frank Roosevelt. His
smile was warm and infectious.
The convention was his-and his
friends.
THE curtain is about rise again.
i A great arena is packed with
people. Flags hang from the
balconies.
The two who were friends are
foes.
What will be the outcome?
Whatever the outcome, how
will the feud affect the cam
paign?
Those are two questions that
the country asks.

This must be said. Smith needed
Roosevelt. He needed his friend
to help him carry New York state.
That was the political theory on
which Roosevelt was drafted.
1t didn't work out exactly that
way.
Roosevelt carried his end of the
load. He was elected.
Smith was defeated in New
York state, and the nation for
the presidency.
n
ID OOSEVELT'S stock began to

Smith sank into the background.
Roosevelt began to be talked
about as the Democratic candi-

months.

Anti -Lynching Law

The Negro is an American citi-

I and be the voice of Indiana in
Washington The election in No
vember will ratify your acts. The
march of events and the unforgive-
able mistakes of the Republican
party have made us the last defense
of those who believe in liberty.
This is our responsibility-and no
greater ever rested upon any gath
ering of men and women. II is a
responsibility that might frighten
the timid and dismay the faltering
1t is responsibility which we ac-
cept with humility and courage.
Two weeks ago our traditional
opponents in politics again surren-
dered to the forces of special privi-
lege and brazenly Haunted the
double-croSs as the symbol upon
their banner
Their convention was the echo of
the voice of Watson, inspired by
Goodrich and screened for public
consumption by Will Hays. The re-
suit was as might have been ex-
pected. and today from every coun-
ty in this state comes an appeal to
us from those who have followed
blindly and trusted blindly.
XXTHERE that convention evaded
w and lodged, we must be cour-
apeouS and frank. The Democratic
party must not resort to the expedi-
ent of straddling on any question.
In defeat or in victory, it ever has
stood with boldnesS and with cour-
age for the principles upon which it
was founded. We do not speak in
platitudes. We do not use language
of insincerity.
Your platform, I am certain, will
be one that can be understood by
every citizen. Serving no secret
masters, we take the people into our
confidence.
We know no other method We
wish none. The Republican so has
been named. The Republicans pro
pose to send back to the United
States senate the mahwho brazenly
boasted of giving his worthless note
for sugar stock at time he was
passing upon sugar tariff.
They have spoken in platitudes.
They have appealed to prejudices
rather than to reason. Every issue
confronting the people, however
controversial, must be met by this
convention squarely, courageously,
and without equivocation.
Again remind you that the peo-
pie look to us. Rather they look to
you-the Democratic party in con-
vention assembled. You will not
fail. You can not fail.

Believing that that government is

(copyriQht. 1892. By United Press
CHICAGO, June 21-The coun-
~ try is about to witness, in an
arena worthy Of such an historic
event. the climax of a bitter po-
litical feud that seriously may in
volve the hopes of Democratic
success in the coming election.
Two formerly close friend-Al-
fred E. Smith and Franklin D.
Roosevelt, the famous team of"Ar'
and Frank" of only four years
ago-will be pitted against one
another for the biggest prize their
party can offer-the presidential
nomination.
The history student will thumb
back through the pages to other
historic feuds. that between Jim
Reed and woodrow Wilson, be-
tween Theodore Roosevelt and
Senator Foraker, and on back.
But nothing more dramatic, nor
filed with more potentiality, has
been projected on the American
political screen in recent years.
Everybody is asking-what hap
pened between the two?
IT is all very simple, and very
i human, according to the ver-
sion that now. may be presented.
1t merely was that Roosevelt
decided to seek the presidential
nomination without consulting his
friend and sponsor, who was,
after all, the titular head of the
Democratic party-and more than
that responsible for pushing him
prominently to the fore.
The writer remembers we'll the
night in 1923 that Smith, sitting
at the end of a wire at Rochester,
N. Y, virtually "bludgeoned"
Roosevelt to become the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor of
New York.
Roosevelt was at the Warm
Springs (Ga) resort. He pleaded

DIES MONIES, Ia, June 7.-Sen- ator Smith w.

Metal Penetrating Film
 Of Lubricating OH Found

NEW YORK, June 7.-Discovery of a jelly-like film-making sub stance in oil-a hitherto unnot- ticed oil within oil---has been an- nounced here.
 Two leading fabrication engin- eers said it furnishes a startling new theory of fabrication and practical opportunity to speed up automobiles and all machinery with less wear and greater power.
 Te report was made to the lub- ricating engineering committee of the American Society of Mechani- cal Engineers by William F. Par ish, former chief of the fabrication department of the United States Air Service, and Leon Cammen.
 In theory heretofore oil formed in three films, two attached to the metals slipping past each other, the third in between, cushioning and lubricating.
 Another and different film has been discovered, Parish and Cam men stated. When the original films are completely wiped off this new one springs out of the metal itself.
 This metal penetration is ap- parently due partly to the new ielly-like substance. which the en- gineers stated "has never been singly assayed before"
 The practical application, said Parish, is the possibility of alter ing oils to increase their metal penetration.
 The engineers stated that "it is highly probable" that inexpensive changes in the formulae for mak- ing lubricants will improve pene- tration.

 DENIES STEESE
 WILL BE GOv'R,
Seward Report He Will Succeed Parks Given
 Official Denial

An assertion that Gen. James G. Steese, former Alaska Roat Commission President now visiting Alaska, will be the next Governor of Alaska, made last week by the Seward Gateway and sent to the Associated Press, has drawn em- phatic denials from both the h. terior Department and Gen. Steese himself.
 Tn it's denial, the Interior De- partment said the administration of Gov. George A. Parks is en- tirely satisfactory; that published stories he would be supplanted are without foundation; and that letters of introduction given Gen. Steesc by Department officials had prob ably given rise to misapprehension as to the purpose of his visit.
 Gateway Claims Informed
 The cause of all the hullabaloc was an Associated Press despatch received by The Empire, and other Alaska newspapers who are mem bers of that organization, under a Seward dateline last Saturday saying: "The Daily Gateway saio it had authentic information that Gen. James Gordon Steese wil be. appointed Governor of Alaska in the near future, after an ap- parent pleasure trip to the Ter. ritory. The newspaper said Gen Steese has been making searching investigation into all major gov. ernmental activities in Alaska, i is believed, as prelude to con. solicitation of all departments un- der S.eese's direction as Governor.
 There was no information avail able on, the matter here. No officia of any branch of the Goyernmen had heard of any such plan in tn, ofing and generally it was greeted with skepticism.
 Steese Issues Denial
 It was known that Gen. Stees. was somewhere in the interio of Alaska visiting friends and re newing old acquaintances. Re gently he was awarded an honorar. degree as Doctor of Science by thu i Alaska College.
 He first heard of the Seward re, port at Fairbanks and prompt. denied it's correctness An Asso ciated Press despatch from Fair banks to The Empire today said

 The only possibility was that he might have landed somewhere on the Continent where he would be out of communication with the world.
