w While it is an old political
strategy to put up the biggest pos
sible front before any convention,
nevertheless there are some very
strong supporting factors behind
the Landon camps boast that the
nomination is lin the bag"
1t probably has escaped most
people, but those two old master
hands at collecting Southern dele
gateS-C. Bascom Slemp and
Charley Hilles-now have the
Dixie delegates securely in their
pockets, and these delegates are
tagged 'Landon." This fact alone
is the tip-of.
G. Bascom and dapper Charley
do not back losers. They always
play the winner. Throughout the
winter, while lining up their
Southern cohorts, they remained
friendly to all candidates but did
business with none. They wanted
to see which way the wind blew.
Several weeks ago they decided
the Kansas cyclone was blowing
strong. Also they figured that if
the Midwest Progressives were
given their man in 1886, the East
ern Tories could pick theirs in
1910.
And 1910 is the year the most
aStute G.. 0. P. bosses really are
heading for. Naturally they won't
admit it publicly, but they exude
no optimism on the chances of
defeating Roosevelt in 1886.
All this does not mean there
will not be battling at the Cleve-
land convention. There will be.
But unless there are some major
slip-ups, it now looks pretty much
like Landon.
A PPARENTLY there was sound
4 n reason for the formation of
the Republican brain trust"
During the annual convention
in Washington last week of the
American Society of Newspaper
Editors, Malcolm w. Bingay, edi-
tor of The Detroit Free Press,
visited the offices of the Repub-
lican National Committee. Bingay
is a prominent Midwestern edi-
tor, and The Free Press is known
widely as stanch Republican
organ.
Bingay first called on Ted Hunt
ley, busting new G.. o. P. press
agent.
How do you do, Mr.. Bingay,"
-clarioned Huntley warmly, how
are you and how is The Detroit
NewS?"
The editor of The Free Press
looked panied, but kept his peace.
After chatting for a few min
utes Huntley suddenly turned to
his caller, said: Mr.. Bingay.
your paper must have influence
with Father Coughlin. Why don't
you get him to open up on Roose-
velt and the New Deal?"
The Detroit Free Press has
been waging fierce running fight
with the radio priest for several
years. Coughlin has attacked it
over the air and the paper in turn
has hammered him in its editorial
columns.
Again Bingay swallowed hard,
but said nothing. AS he rose to
go Huntley suggested he SAY
hello" to National Chairman
Henry Fletcher. In Fletcher's Of

Raleigh, Dec. 2.-The eastern coun-

eral Assembly, as they have most of
the sessions for the past ten to 20
years, according to those who have
been studying the makeup of the new
House and Senate. The reason for this
is the fact that again the eastern
counties have more experienced men
in both the House and Senate, thus
assuring them of the more important
committee chairmanships and assign
ments. which in turn will give them
control of the more important legis-
lation. For those who are familiar
with legislative procedure agree that
the committees have more power and
influence than any other portion OF

DISTRICT DEMANDS
PRIVILEGE Of VOTE
Also Complains at High
Cost 1t Has To Provide

BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer

Washington, Dec. 2.-For years the
residents of the District of Columbia
have been complaining that they
ought to have the ballot, like the resi-
dents of any state in the country, a
state being what the District rrac-
ticaIy amounts to. It's area is small,
to be sure, but it has a population
considerably larger than the respec-
tive populations of several states
which send a couple of senators and
a representative or two each to Con-
greSs.
Just now these complaints are bit
terer than usual. They amount to a
howl in fact.
For one thing, perhaps District Of
Columbians were reminded of their
votelessness by the recent election.
However, still acuter grievance, so
far as property owners are concerned
is the circumstance that the District
undoubtedly is grossly Disseminated

YALE STUDENTS
 WERE NARROWED

Stony Creek, Conn. May 4-(UP) --Morooned on an island in Long Island sound throughout the night. three Yale students put back into the harbor here today as university officials prepared to solicit the aid of coast guard to inaugurate a search.
 The students. George Gafford. Cleveland, O.; Daniel R. Howe. Tuscaloosa, Ala, and Ward McFar- land, Glen Brook, suffered slightly from exposure.
 They rented a sail boat here yesterday noon from Capt. M. J. Mcdonald for a short cruise about the sound as Gafford intended en- tering Bermuda races. Reaching the outer harbor Gafford reported a high wind took them out of sight of shore and heavy fog added to their predicament.
 They managed to put in at outer island where they slept in q shed and returned here shortly before noon when the wind and fog had diminished.
 Their disappearance had been rec ported to university officials by Melville Jackson, a roommate of e. Oaff0rd.
