Anti-Smith Club- Formed. Special Dispatch to The Star. FREDERICKSBURG, Va., October 16. —Organization of an Anti-Smith Club in Frederieksburg has been - perfected and an active campaign is being_made with the object of defeating the Demo- cratic ‘nominee. Capt. A. L. Johnson was elected president-of -the, club, with Washington’s trio of husband hunters, who shook the dust of the Capital City | from their heels two weeks ago and set out for the Pacific Coast in search of “ideal mates,” have forsaken the barren Western plains for the happy hunting srounds below the Mason and Dixon line, where men have a weakness for matrimony and make chivalry the order of the day, they informed The Star this morning in & letter posted from Mem- phis, Tenn. ‘The novel expedition, which is com- manded by Miss Helen Davis, is com- posed of the leader and two friends, who admitted that they gave reporters fictitious names because they “did not want any publicity.” They left Washington on October 3| in Miss Davis’ automobile, with $200 in their pockets and a matrimonial glenml in their eyes, and started for the coast over the National Old Trails Highway. “The $10,000 a year bachelors with amiable dispositions,” however, were ex- tremely rare in the Middle West, Miss Davis said, and the few that were tracked down by the local trio were found to be heavily guarded by native shock troops of feminine persuasion. Hence the decision to swing to the Southland, where, Miss Davis has heard, men are not accustomed to being pur- sued by women and should be easy pickings. Her letter follows: “We are the happy trio of ideal hus- band hunters that your photographers and reporters interviewed about Octo- ber 3, when Ann Howe, Vivian Fred- ericks and I left Washington en route to Los Angeles. Should you have any mail for us at your paper, please for- ward it to Memphis. Also send news- paper clippings of articles about us, as we dna not get time to see them before we left. “We are still unmarried. but optimis- tic about finding the ideal man, as we have interviewed so many interesting men as well as women.” LUCY BILLINGSLEY DIES.

ROBINSON SPEAKS AT BOISE TONIGHT Ogden, Utah, Address Slated Tomorrow Night—Portland Cheers Nominee. By the Associated Press. ROBINSON TRAIN, EN ROUTE TO BOISE, Idaho, October 16.—Senator Joseph T. Robinson today swung inland from the Pacific Coast on his campaign tour of the Nation. He planned to speak at Boise tonight, and from there will drop- down into Ogden, Utah, for a campaign speech tomorrow night. The Democratic vice presidential nominee spoke at Portland, Oreg., last night after having made several im- promptu talks in the Williamette Valley. In McMinnville, Oreg.,, he halted his motor car at the intersection of the two principal streets and delivered a typical campaign talk with the real old-fash- ioned “soap box” fervor. In his Portland address the Senator dwelt largely on waterpower but devi- ated from his prepared speech by in- cluding remarks on farm relief and tolerance in religion, and stressed what he called “the humanitarian legislation fostered by Gov. Alfred E. Smith.” ‘The nominee’s speech on waterpower was constructed around his statement that “Republican victory will mean the triumph of a monopoly which has ex- pended millions in propaganda in an effort to obtain permanent control of waterpower.” He was greeted by a capacity crowd and one of tumultuous enthusiasm. His reference to Gov. Smith as “the great leader of the hosts of Democracy” un- leashed much applause. When his radio time was up and he was about to stop, the crowd urged him to continue, and he did so, launching into an attack upon those who oppose Gov. Smith because of his religious convictions.
