Walsh Described as “Platform.” The Walsh supporters prefaced their entry into the primary arena with a statement decrying dishonesty in_gov- ernment and suggesting that the Mon- tana Senator “possesses the rugged honesty. intelligence and devotion to public service that fits him for leader- ship in the fight ahead of us.” They submitted his name to the Democ: { ernor. including Thomas H.

Smith, which was waged 50 hotly in the Democratic national convention of 1924. Rumors that the Walsh and Reed supporters would combine to defeat Smith were denled by the Walsh sup- porters, who said they were Wilson Democrats and that Reed was just as unacceptable to them as Smith.
