SMITH 15 INDORSED ATPARLEY INWEST Resolution Passes Despite Opposition of Utah Delegates at Democratic Meet. By the Associsted Press. OGDEN, Utah, September 24.—With the indorsement of Gov. Al Smith of Ne# York as a_ candidate for the Democratic presidential _nomination adopted over opposition of Utah dele- party workers from seven ern States in conference here turned to discussion of plans to t today bring about unity in the West. Summoned by an invitation from Fred W. Johnson of Wyoming to “discuss big problems of the party,” the conference organization was per- fected yesterday. The committee on the order of business immediately of- fered a resolution indorsing Gov. Smith. Held Most Available. Gov. Smith was described in the fesolution as “the most available * candidate mentioned for the nomina- tion for President.” After stating that there was “no desire to usurp in the least the duties and prerogatives ©of the Democratic organizations of these States,” the committee urged discussion of the resolution be given Ppriority over other business. L. H. Francisco of n Diego, Calif., self-announced ndidate for the {Democratic presidential nomination, was the first to oppose the indorse- ment of Gov. Smith. He said he be- Qieved such action would be prema- ture. Francisco, who was not ac- cepted as a delegate, had some diffi- eulty in gaining recognition. Resolution Is Opposed. John H. Moyle, Democratic national fommitteeman from Utah, objected to e resolution because he declared it id not represent the sentiment in his ate. “Nelther are you from your repre- sentative States expressing the senti- ment of your States,” Moyle said. *So why kid yourselves and try to tell the East there is a great wave of pentiment in the West for Al Smith for President. “However, for me to express further opposition to the proposed resolution would be out of harmony end inappropriate. In time, I may be for him. I believe he is a progressiv end perhaps understands the prol Jems of the West as neither Cleve land nor Wilson understood them.” Resolution Is Adopted. Judge Joshua Greenwood of Salt Yake City said he doubted that Gov. Smith would carry his own State if the Republicans nominated Charles E. Hughes. The resolution was then adopted, with representatives present fro Idaho, Montana, Colorado, California, Bouth Dakota, Wyoming and Utah. Johnson, one of the sponsors of the resolution, continued his support of Gov. Smith by reiterating his statement that withdrawal of William G.' McAdoo had left no other candi- @Bate. He declared he had assurances ¥rom party leaders in Western States %ot represented here that Al Smith ‘was a strong favorite, Plea for Harmony. Johnson also appealed to the dele- tes to strive for harmony, that the est might form a bloc “that can be eard and heeded in the party con- wvention." While plans to perfect a Western Democratic organization were sched- uled as the principal subject for dis- fussion today, a resolution on tariff Tates for the West was also pending. Qi REED IS MISSOURI DEMOCRATIC HOPE FOR PRESIDENCY (Continued from First Page.) St. Louls, is very strong. Smith 1s liked, not only because he is opposed to prohibition hut because he Is re: garded as an able administrator and because he has heen successful al- most as no other Democrat has in recent years in the Empire State. They like 2 winner, *“Second Cholee” Opposed. The consequence is, that if Reed were not in the picture, some of the Missouri delegates to the national konvention might well be expected to Yyote for Smith, if not all of them. This may have led Samuel W. For- dyce, chairgan of the Democratic State central committee, to say recent- Iy that Smih would be the second choice of the Missouri delegation. The ¥ordyce statement brought s protest from Clark amd others that Missouri should have mno second choice, but &hould work from the start of the con- pention for the nomination of Senator Reed. Senator Reed, if nominated for President, would in the opinion of the Democrats, carny Missouri. Some of the Republicans say, though under their breath, that this would likely happen. It is mecalled here that in 1922, when Reed was last elected to | the Senate, St. Louis, Republican stronghold of the State, gave him a majority, sorely needed to win the election for him. His strength with St. Louis Republicans, together with State pride and the Democratic vote | outside this city and in Kansas City, | Reed’s home, would bLe relled upcn | to put him across Much Depends on G. 0.

He has preached against Hzover up and down the State as the foe of farmer. in his 1922 campaign for re-election to the Senate, he constantly held Mr. Hoover up to the voters as a target against which he launched his darts. The Reed attacks upon Hoover are said to be responsible today for any lack of strength which Mr. Hoover may have in the State. Senator Reed, as chairman of the Senate slush fund committee, will occupy the limelight for months to come. In the fight to prevent the seating, permanently at least, of Sena- tors-elect Smith of Illinois and Vare of Pennsylvania, he will take a foremost part as soon as'the Senate meets in December. He has become the domi nating figure on the Democratic side of the Senate chamber in the last year. If the Republicans should name former Gov. Frank O. Lowden of 1l nois as their candidate for President Senator Reed would seek to empha size Republican slush funds as the campaign issue, recalling to the voters that 1n 1920 Lowden was charged with having bought delegates to the Repub- lican national convention of 1920 in Missouri, or at least that they were bought with Lowden money sent into the State. Ridicules Dawes® Attack. Or suppose that Vice President Dawes should be the Republican stand- rd bearer. Senator Reed was the Vice President’s most caustic critic when the latter attacked the Senate rule which permits unlimited debate nd filibuster in the upper house. The Missouri Senator went after the Vice President with all the sarcasm at his command, which is a great deal, and, in one dramatic moment in the Senate, forced the Vice President into an em barrassing position a year ago. Reed is an uncompromising fight- er, he has enormous courage. He has a dramatic gift of oratory which would stand him 1n good stead if he entered the campaign as a presi- dential candidate. During the fight in the Senate at the last session he stood like a rock against the McNary- Haugen farm reliet bill. Although he was told that if he would cease his oppisition to that measure he might count on certain Southern delegates to the Democratic national convention next year, he spoke against the measure and brought down on his head, thereby, the oppo- sition of organized farmers who sup- ported the bill. Not long ago the Missouri Farmers’' Association adopt- ed resolutions censuring Reed be- cause of his stand on this bill, say- ing, with others things, “We can- not escape the conviction that he (Senator Reed) was willing to sacri- fice the farmers of his own State In order to gain the support of the in- dustrial East in his aspirations for the Democratical presidential nomi- nation As a matter fact, Senator Reed has taken up the cudgels for the farmers often in the Senate, although he opposed this particular measure. His attacks upon Mr. Hoover during the war were made in the interest of the farmers, whose prices for wheat were limited under the Food Arminis- tration. ‘When Senator Heflin of Alabama opened up his attacks in the Senate at the last session against the Catholics of America because, as Heflin sald, they were seeking to force the United States into war with Mexico on account of the treatment of Catholics in the Southern repub- lic, Senator Reed delivered a smash- speech attacking intolerance, ich was published from one end of thé,country to the other. His stand at that time may have its influencc upon certain supporters of Gov. Al Smith ‘if New York Governor finds that cannot be nominated Senator doubtless will h: > urned implacable foe cf | : - Motor THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24 1927. ESTATE WHEELER VALUED AT $a0,000 Disposition of Dry Leader’s| Holdings to Be Made Among Sons. From the 5:30 Edition of Yesterday's Star. ‘Wayne B. Wheeler, general coun- sel of the Anti-Saloon League, who died September 5, and Mrs. Ella B. Wheeler, his wife, who died August 13, left an estate valued at approxi- mately $50,000, according to a peti tion for letters of administration filed in the Probate Court this afternoon by two of their sons, Robert Wayne and Donald Hyde Wheeler. These two sons and another, Joseph Candy Wheeler, are the sole hel inheriting all of the estate but $1,000, 500 of which is left to Mrs. Susan andy, mother of Mrs. Wheeler, and §500 to Mrs. Ursa Wheeler, mother of Mr. Wheeler. Most of the estate is realty. The will of the dry leader, filed sev- eral days ago, left everything but two small bequests to his wife, who, how- ever, predeceased him, the estate thus reverting to their children. Mr Wheeler also had been named execu- trix under her husband's will. ——eeeeee the support in the national convention | of the Kansas delegation, after it has | given its vote for a ballot or two to epresentative Ayres, as a favorite son candidate. He may have some of the Illinois and other Middle West States delegates, after they, too, have voted for favorite sons. On the other hand, Senator Reed is likely to have very strong opposition from the South, where Woodrow Wilson's memory is particularly venerated and wheve Reed's attacks upon Wilson have not been forgotten. His strongest oppo- nents in Missouri are old Wilson ad- herents and members of the Ku Klux Klan, Urged to File for Senate. Announcement has been made with- in a year by Senator Reed that he will not be a candidate to succeed him- self as Senator. He must come up for re-election next year, if he be a candi- date, and must file as such 60 days before the first of August, or before the Democratic national convention is held. Many of his friends are urg- ing that he file for the Senate, as well as oontrol the delegation to the na- tional convention. The Democrats here want Reed on the ticket next vear, either as the presidential nomi- nee or as the nominee for the Senate. They believe that his name on the ticket would greatly strengthen the chances for Democratic success. If he is not to have the presidential nomination, ‘and some of them admit that his chances for that nomination are remote, then they want him to run for the Senate. But others feel that if he filed for the Senate, it might be construed as an admission of weak- ness so far as his presidential aspira- ions are concerned. Some of others hose names have been mentioned in connection with the Democratic nomi- vation for the Senate are Judge Fran- s Cockrell, an ardent dry and son ALEXANDRIA.

His injuries were thought to be of a serious na ture, but with his turn for the better hospital authorities are optimistic over his chances for recovery.

Special Dispatch to The Star. ALEXANDRIA, Va,, September 24. ~—The city council yvesterday provided for the appropriation of $1,000 with | which to make a survey of contiguous | land in Arlingten County with a view of annexation. The Potomac rallroad yards, lying on the east of the cor- poration limits of Potomac, are within the territory the council seeks to obtain. | The council, city manager, city engineer and the city attorney at- tended the informal meeting and pre- scribed the limits. The area begins approximately at the south bank of Four Mile Run and the Potomac River, running southwest to Cameron Mills road in Arlington County. thence northwest to Braddock road, south to the intersection of Seminary lane and Braddock road and Cameron Run, and then east to the intersection of Cameron Run and the present cor- poration limits in Hunting Creek. Arlington County will stand the heaviest losses if Alexandria is suc- cessful in its proposed annexation program, but Fairfax County also will lose some ground. Potomac was in corporated several years ago. The assessed valuation of railroad yards is $1,000,000. The new line would extend into Fairfax County almost to the grounds of the Episcopal Theolog- ical Seminary of Virginia and the Episcopal High School. It would take in all of the existing suburbs of this city and increase the population ap- | proximately 7,000 people. MOTOR CLUB FORMED IN ARLINGTON COUNTY Special Dispatch to The Star.
