SMITH GAINS 128 MORE DELEGATES IN THREE PRIMARIES _(Continued from First Page) |of Illinois and Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas, but if opportunity presents, they will throw their influence and port to President Coolidge, Vice Presi- dent Dawes and Charles Evans Hughes, the presidential nominee in 1916, ac- cording to a nAssociated Press dispatch from Columbus. “In other words, the Willis delegation, |if elected, will be as nearly an unin- structed delegation as could be:selected under the Ohio law.” a statement is- sued by the delegate candidates last night said. “We will go to the convention, aside from the commitments as indicaced without bias, or prejudice, wo select the best available candidates for President 5 e President to lead our party to victory in November.” Managers of Hoover headquarters sc- cepted the challenge immediately, Col Thad H. Brown, manager of the Hoover campaign, issuing this statement: “The campaign for delegates pledged to Secretary Hoover will go forward | with unabated energy. Lowden to Get Support. Former Gov. Lowden, the second | choice pledge of 34 delegate candidates, receive “the hearty and sincere from a majority of us.” the said, while 1t declared “worthy of our careful will pport ator Curt contideration.” Some of the delegates, it continued, | would make Charles Evans Hughes their choice, should he permit his name to be_considered by the convention. In Vice President Dawes, however, the delegates found common ground for support should his name be placed before the convention. With respect to President Coolidge, the delegates recognized his expressed desire not to be a candidate, also the sentiment in the State for him and de- clared the Ohio delegation “should be free to act in harmony with that sen- timent, if events should make his nomi- nation appear expedient and aoceptable to R The delegates indicated they expect their friends to vote for Senator Willis, whose name will appear on the pref- erential ballot, along with Secreta Hoover's, though the Senator is dead. Fess Returns to Capital. Senator Fess did not attend the meeting last night. He returned to Washington from Senator Willis' funer- al with the congressional delegation. It 1s understood the commitment made by the delegate candidates concerning American Land Co., had provided a dumping ground and that the associ- ation had made arrangements for haul- tng. Mrs. Mina C. Brann was appointed & special comm on motion pictures and Douglass Guilott was recommended as janitor for the school. Mrs. Charles Sullivafy Feported that ng signs would be placed 0ol and A. H. Schutz re- ted on lighting improvements. A feature of the joint social meeting was a beauty contest, in which men dressed in female attire took part Councilman Harry Bogue was awarded first dpnu and Capt. E. R.

La Follette progressive forces faccd their greatest test in 20 years’ domina- tion of Wisconsin in the primary elec- tion there yesterday, Associated Press reports from Milwaukee show. Although the issue was stil un- decided, the early returns presaged the election of more anti-progressive dele- gates than have represented Wisconsin at a Republican national convention since the late Senator Robert M. La Follette became the dominating in- fluence in Wisconsin. Throughout the State the outcome of the clear-cut fight between the pro- gressive slate pledged to Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska sand the unin- structed delegation backed by a State conference and George Vits, national committeeman, was in doubt, an un- usual condition in Wisconsin. Smith Carries Ticket. On the Democratic ticket, Gov. Al Smith of New York captured the entire State delegation of 26, his supporters easily defeating four candidates for delegate at large pledged to Benator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana. Senator James A. Reed of Missourl was virtually assured of the popular vote for presi- dential nominee. The presence of Reed’s name on the ballot alone gave him an advantage that assured him of a victory which meant little, insasmuch as_he made no contest for delegates. Senator Norris appeared certain of the preferential vote of the Republi- cans. He was the lone Republican mak- ing a bid for it. Herbert Hoover. who ordered his name withdrawn from the State contest, received a compliment when sufficient voters wrote in his name to place him second in the State, over former Gov. Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, who was third, and Vice Presi- dent Dawes, fourth. Nine-hundred and twenty-two pre- cincts out of 2746 in Wisconsin for Democratic presidential preference give: Reed, 13,745: Smith, 4.931; Walsh, 184.
