Babc0ck Urges Use Of
Left Side for Safety
Highway Commissioner Gives
Approval Of Campaign
for Safe Walking

The Minnesota Highway depart
ment has placed it's seal Of approval
upon the recommendation to walk
on the left side facing traffic." ac-
cording to recent highway bull
letin.
After careful study of the pro-
blem, we are convinced that the safe
ty Of pedestrians on highways can be
greatly increased if it becomes the
practice to walk always on the left
side of the highway so that oncoming
vehicles are faced, Commissioner
Babcock said in expressing approval
of the campaign being launched by
the American Legion and the Mime
sofa Safety Council to get everyone
walking on country roads to use the
left side.
Experience has demonstrated, Com
missioner Babcock adds, that when
people are walking along paved
route the danger of being struck by
a motor vehicle is greater than on an
unpaved route. This, it is explained,
is because of the temptation to walk
on the pavement. Cars have to
swing out to avoid the pedestrians,
but if it happens that vehicle is ap-
preaching on the opposite side, the
tendency of the motorist is to crowd
the pedestrian rather than take
chances on collision.
While the law gives the pedestrian
the right to walk in either direction
on either side of a road, experience
and common sense, the bulletin points
out, seem to fully commend the re-
commentator for all walking to be
done on the left side Of the road, fac
ing traffic. A number Of states have
erected signs along their highways
urging the use of the left-hand slde
by pedestrians, and it is probable, the
bulletin states, that the subject Will
be one to receive legislative atten-
ton in the future.
School children in particular are to
be urged in a campaign being JOINT
" sponsored by the American Legion
and the Minnesota Safety Council to
walk on one side of the road, and not
?, few on one side and few on the
other as has been a common prac-
tice. This has been found to have
resulted in large number of acct
dents through children running across
to join the others on the opposite SIDE
without looking behind to see II any
vehicles were approaching.
Hitch-hikers, the highway bulletin
cites, seem to want to stick to the
right side so as to be able to signal
motorists for rides, but as many
motorists have encountered costly
experiences from picking up these
travellers, fewer and fewer are be-
ing picked up. If none at all were
picked up who are walking on the
right side it would help in bringing
the left-side plan into fuller observ-
ance, the bulletin concludes.

Boiled Dozen
More Time Shorter Plat
form, So Democrats
ToiIed for Weeks.
BY MAX STERN
Times staff Writer

CHICAGO, July 2.-On the
principle explained by Mark
Twain, who wrote a friend that if
he had more time his letter would
be shorter, the trainers of democ-
racy's famous 1,400-word platform
labored for weeks to make it a
compact document.
Its two chief draughtsmen we're
A. Mitchell Palmer (Pa.) and
Senator CordeIl Hull (Tenn).
The majority or Smith prohi-
bition plank was the work of
Senator David Walsh (MasS.), the
rejected minority or Roosevelt
plank, that of William Gibbs
McAdoo.
The tariff proposals, written by
Senator Hull, we're fashioned after
the Wilson, UnderhilI formula. The
Is per cent economy reduction
mandate was the work of Hull, as
were other economic suggestions.
The proposal against canceIIa-
ton Of war debts was made by
McAdoo.
The planks relating to reform
of banking practices were framed
by Senator Carter Glass (Va).
Proposals pledging the party to
compel corporations to give pub
licity to bonuses, foreign securi-
ties sales and otherwise protect
investors we're largely the work
Of Huston Thompson, former fed
eral trade commissioner.
The unemployment relief planks
were suggested by Senator Rob-
ert Wagner IN. ".
The farm relief proposals we're
chiefly the work of Senator Bur
ton K. Wheeler (Mont.).

stadium some time after p. m.
The convention is scheduled to
convene at p. m. It's first business
is to nominate the vice presidential
candidate. One ballot is expected
to suffice.
Roosevelt won only after a hard
battle Friday night.
Fighting was bitter His name
was booed from the galleries. His
friends we're booed even by some of
the delegates.
The breach between him and his
friends and political teammate of
four years ago has been widened.
Alfred E, Smith fought the battle
of a determined man. He held
every one of his delegates to the
end. The few who slipped away
did so without his consent.
At the end, he remained the only
other candidate who had not with
drawn. One by one the field of
favorite sons dropped out as the
balloting progressed.
Governor Murray of Oklahoma
retired after the first ballot. when
his delegates switched to Will
Rogers, the humorist
Garner Withdraws Next
Speaker Garner withdrew during
the afternoon recess, starting the
stampede. Then followed on the
fourth ballot the Withdrawals of
Melvin Traylor of Illinois, Governor
White of Ohio, former Senator
James A. Reed of Missouri, former
Governor Byrd of Virginia, and
Governor, Ritchie of Maryland.
But Smith remained in his hotel
suite.
-Four years ago Roosevelt mounted
the platform at the Houston con-
vention and for the third time APP
pealed to Democratic national
convention to give the presidential
nomination to the man he named
The Happy Warrior" Smith in
turn urged Roosevelt to run for
Governor of New York on his
ticket.
One of Roosevelt's rivals, Reed,
took the platform after the nomi-
nation of Roosevelt and urged that
all Democrats unite against their
common enemy.
Smith refused to say whether he
will support the ticket. His friends
assume that he will support it as
a loyal party man. Smiths Tam
many Hall friends held out for him
to the last. John F. Curry, Tam
many leader. despite a factional
antagonism to Smith-they are
rivals in the hall-chose to stand
by him rather than swing to
Roosevelt.
Stick to Finish
They went down on the last bal
lot still voting Tammany'S 63 votes
for Smith, thus confirming the
United Press dispatch of several
days ago in which it was stated
that Curry had decided to throw
Roosevelt overheard. Since then it
has been enormously reported that
Tammany was going to swing to
Roosevelt.
Such a report was circulated an
hour before Tammany made its
final gesture of hostility to Roose-
welt by casting its So votes for
Smith on the last ballot.
James A. Farley, Roosevelt's man
ager, sat on the stage and watched
with a thoughtful eye Tammanys
last-ditch warfare against Roose-
welt. 1t was the opening act of an
other political drama.
