Gov. Smith of New York and Scnator Walsh of Montana, for the Democratic presidential nom | ination. The Missourian took no cognizance in his prepared address here of the an- | nouncement made yesterday in Cali- {fornia that the allies of Willlam G. cAdoo in that State would support Senator Walsh on a_“dry, anti-Tam- | manyite, Woodrow Wilson Democrat” platform in the May 1 primary, but he repeated the batilecry sounded in the Golden State that “ihere is more lin® this campaign than a bottle of whisky and a schooner of beer.” “Salvation of this Government,” he declared, “is the dominant issue.

Reed, who is up for re-election this vear, yesterday issued a formal statement declaring himself out of the race. His statement follows “A survey of the in Pennsylvania co: | contest at this time would so distupt the Republican party that its effect would be injurious to the success of the party in November.

While no formal statements | have been made, it §s understood that | both the Mellons and Mr. Vare are inclined to be favorable to the Hoover | candidacy. It is possible, however, that | they will hold off making any formal | statement of support of Mr. Hoover junttl he has demonstrated his vote- getting strength in & number of pri- { mary States in which he is entering, including Ohio Mr. Hoover is going Into the pri- | maries, too, In California, Orcgon, New | Jersey, Maryland, Michigan, where he | | is unopposed for th> preferential vote, | | and probably in other States.

The entrance of Senator Walsh of | Montana into the California primaries, | with the backing of the dry element in the party, and particularly of Wil- | McAdoo, announced yes- terday, 15 regarded here as a direct | attack azainst the Al Smith candidacy for the presidential nomination of the Democrats, Both Senator Walsh and Mr. McAdoo | | confirmed the report that the Montana | | Senator was to make the raze for the | Californta delegation to the Houston convention. Mr. McAdoo said that he | would be a supporter of Scnator Walsh | in his own State, California, and pre- | | dicted that Senator Walsh would carry | | the State, | with Senator Reed of Missourl and | Gov.

An appeal that members of the Washington Board of Trade and other | organized citizens of the District make | a_determined campaign for national | representation for residents of Wash- ington until Congress approves the pro- ' posal, was delivered by Odell S. Smith, a dircctor of the trade body, last night at a joint dinner meeting of the mem- bership committee and the public or-! der committee of the organization, at | the Mayflower Hotel i Declaring that disfranchisement of the residents here is the “greatest, curse” on the people of Washingion and that it constitutes a “wet blanket” that | prevents Washingtonfans from _being full-fledged citizens of the United States. Mr. Smith predicted that the | day was coming when they would be given a voice in their government. Statement Applauded. The statement brought prolonged ap- | plause from the more than 100 present. Mr. Smith spoke of the joint resolution | now pending in Congress which would | | provide for an amendment to the Con- | stitution, empowering Congress to grant | to residents of Washinaton the right to vote for President and Vice President. | | elect their representatives in the House | and Senate and to have access to the Federal courts. The dinner was held as a_testimonial | {to Mr. Smith. who was chalrman of the {committees in charze of the annua { Midwinter dinner meeting of the Board | lof Trade, held recently at the Willard | Hotel. On behalf of the board, Edwin C. Graham, president. presented Mr, Smith with two gifts in appreciation of | his 30 years' service.

We merely want. to make marriage as it exists today a gal institution instead of an evasion of the law. We want to save the insti- ution of marriage.” ‘Thus Judze Ben Lindsey of Denver, iwow touring the country in defense of 1 uniform change in the marriage and divorce laws, defended his position ves- terday while in Washington to make arrangements for a debate with Rabbj Abram Simon on the question of com- panionate marriage. His plan has been misinterpreted widely, Judge Lindsey said. Its salient feature calls for the abolition of the divorce court and the substitution of a divoree commission before which couples eeking separation would appear. In cases where there were children 10 be considered approximately the same procedure would be followed as is now the case, the duty of the commission being to safeguard the interests of the tchildren.
