SMITH TRIES FOR QUICK WIN New Yorker's Aides Hope for Vic- tory by Eleventn Baiiot. BY WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE. NEW YORK, June 25.—There seems to be a disposition among the New York Democratic leaders to hurry the convention proceedings along. De- lay evidently is considered bad for the forces which are trylng to name Smith. Smith will, of course, be Me- Adoo’s chief antagonist in the early voting. He is expected to defeat MecAdoo not later than the fifth bal- lot. ‘Then if Smith has any chance it will be upon a quick rebound of sen- timent for him that will come as Mc- Adoo fails and Smith begins to rise. The Irish of all the cities in the land, scattering minority units from San Francisco to Boston, are expected to rush to Smith, giving his boom impetus which will carry him over, if it ever goes. If Smith fails to win within halt a dozen ballots after McAdoo's decline Smith is doomed to Jjoin McAdoo. Loyalty to Wilson. Another feature of the convention ‘was the fine display of layalty for Woodrow Wilson. When Grover Cleveland died, in 1908, his farewell in the Democratic convention came amid factional divi- sions, which made at least half of the convention sit in disapproving si- lence. Bryvan was in command of the Democratic party when Cleveland died, but Wilson stil} 1s the leader of his party today, and from the tomb he holds more Démocrats loval to his ideals than any man now livins. There can be no doubt that the second line of attack upon Republi- can forces will be from the Wilson position. The Democrats in their platform and their campaign will no more be afraid to speak out the words, “league of nations” than Pat Harrison was to use the word “reac- tionary.” The taboo of four years will be lifted from the phrase, and we shall go into this campaign for the league of nations with the Demo- crats demanding our entrance and the Republicans asserting they have something equally good. The issue that was supposed to be buried in 1920 will become the one live, con- structive issue of the campaign of 1924. (Copyright, 1024, by the Bell Syndicate, Inc.) Paris Bakers Strike.

NEW YORK., June 25.—A slender man of medium stature, gray-haired and with plereing, cold Blis eyes, took charge of the Democratic na- tional convention today. Many of the thousands who attended the session had never before seen the man who “lifted the 11d" off Teapot Dome— Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Mon- tana. There was as much interest in the personality of the man as there was in his speech. He is known as a Catholic, @ man of the highest In- tegrity and character, a successful lawyer, an enemy of great mining in- terests in his own state. He has been mentioned as & possible selection for the presidential nomination. Religion interest in the suggestion. He was presented to the conventien as the man who uncovered the cor- ruption in the Republican adminis- tration and thereby made the great- est issue in the coming campalgn. Does Not Spare Coeolidge. In clear and penetrating voice- Sen- ator Walsh proceeded to tell the dele- gates and the world just what he thonght of the Republicans in power. He did not spare President Calvin Coolidge in his arraignment. Even the late Theodore Roosevelt was the target for some of his remarks though he pictured’ that Republican leader as somewhat whiter than his successors. Turning to the Harding regime, Senator Walsh declared: “What a galaxy—Forbes, Fall, Daugherty, Jess Smith, Mannington, Felder, Darden, Kramer, with Roxie Stinson and Gaston B. Means in the background.” Next he paid his compliments to President Coolidge. He said: “Instead of excoriating the un- unfaithful public servants of whose | misdeeds the uttermost parts of the earth are not uninformed, to the dis- grace of the nation as well as of themselves, palliation is attempted in the absurd observation, emanating from the White House, that ‘men are involved who belong to both political parties’ A charge characterized by one of the few leading republican pa- pers that have declined to condone the offenses revealed as a paltry bit of political misrepresentation.” May Help McAdoo Boom. In some quarters this was inter- preted as in a measure entering upon the defense of William Gibbs McAdoo. But if it Was, no mention was made of that presidential candidats by name.

Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness” UR forefathers’ plain dictum that every member of the more or less well - known human race is entitled to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” was not accepted without argument. - The thought was very distasteful to a large number of influential people. Indeed, a war which changed the face of the world had to be fought and won to settle the question and make it possible for us to go after happiness our own way. There is no argument, however, as to this: When you ease yourself into a suit of Palm Beach, tailored the Saks way, you've added a lot of cool comfort to your particular way of pursuing happiness —these sun-drenched days. In fact, you may be said to have found it in these PAILM BEACH SUITS 515 A goodly proportion of Washington's happiness seekers found this out last week. So many that we discovered we had been too modest in our preparations. In making up additional quantities of these suits, we thought it as well to pre- pare for another big day or two. You’ll agree we had the right idea when you come in tomorrow. “There’s a new lot of patterned ef- fects, pin stripes, and popular shades and colors—blues, tans, browns and sand shades, plain sil- ver and dark gray. .
