HEARST SUGGESTS SMITH FOR 35 RACE Enmity Buried, Publisher Says New Yorker Would Be “Powerful Candidate.” By the Associated Press. SANTA MONICA, Calif., August 29. —The name of Alfred E. Smith was thrust into the 1936 presidential out- look today by William Randolph Hearst’s statement that the New Yorker “would make a powerful can- didate.” Some Washington circles expressed amazement at the publisher’s state- ment last night because of political enmity heretofore existing between Hearst and the “happy warrior” of many political battles. Declaring that Smith, who was the Democratic presidential nominee against Herbert Hoover in 1928, is “the accredited leader of the genuine |- Democratic party,” Hearst said he thought the New Yorker “would make & powerful candidate.” Referring to published reports that he would support the candidate of a proposed “constitutional” Demo- | cratic party, Hearst said he did not| know what party he would support. He said, however, he thought there “should be a Jeffersonian Democratic party in the field.” Smith Is Silent. The availability of Smith to lead an independent ticket or oppose Pres- | ident Roosevelt for renomination has been discussed in some quarters for months. The former New York Gov- ernor has taken no public notice of the efforts in his behalf, but has ap- peared a critic of New Deal policies. It was Hearst who was indirectly re- gponsible for Smith failing to domi- nate the 1932 Democratic nomination in Chicago.” William Gibbs McAdoo, who rode into the United States sena- | torship in California on the Hearst- | sponsored ticket with John Nance | Garner at the top, started the swing | to Roosevelt in Chicago when he | threw the California vote to him. In 1922, when Charles F. Murphy, the late Tammany leader, backed Hearst for United States Senator on | the New York ticket with Smith run- | ning for Governor, Smith turned thumbs down on Hearst. The result was that Dr. Royal S. Copeland, a | writer for Hearst newspapers, was | chosen for the Senate and won with Smith. Smith was termed by the publisher | s being the Democratic party’s “lat- | est presidential candidate.” | Southerner as Mate. “His principles are the historic | principles of the party,” Hearst said, in a statement which also appears to- day in his newspapers in the form of an editorial. “Associated with him should be some notable Sodthern Democrat like Gov. Ritchie, or Senator Byrd, or Gov. Talmadge. “It is not for me, as an American believing devotedly in the American principles of religious liberty, to know or care whether Mr. Smith is a Cath- olic, a Protestant or a Jew. “He is a good citizen.” | The publisher’s statement said he | supposed “Mr. Roosevelt will be the | nominee of the Socialist-Democratic | party, but even that is not a cer- tainty.” ‘The Republicans “might well nom- inate” Gov. Alf M. Landon of Kansas or Col. Frank Knox, Chicago pub—l lisher, Hearst said. ! He described former President Hoo- ver as “a good man—as a private citi- | Zen,” but added that “as a candidate | he would be a calamity equaled only by the depression with which he is 80 closely identified.” Byrd Won't Join Move. BERRYVILLE, Va., August 29 (#).— | Benator Harry Flood Byrd of Virginia | today made plain that he will not join the movement proposed by William Randolph Hearst to make Alfred Smith a presidential candidate on a *constitutional” Democratic ticket, “I have repeatedly said I would have R0 part in it,” he declared.

Albert Tangora, world’s champion typist, gives a demonstration of speed by writing more than 200 words a minute on a portable typewriter, while Mrs. Noreen Mills of Chicago vention here of the National Typewriter and Office Machine Dealers’ Association. BY WILLIAM A. BELL, JR. LBERT TANGORA, world's A champion typist, played a serenade here yesterday—the same kind of serenade which | won him a wife. Striking the keys of a typewriter with the same skill that Paderewski or Rachmaninoff would strike the keys of a piano, Tangora showed 200 delegates to the National Typewriter | and Office Machine Dealers’ Asso- ciation convention at the Mayflower Hotel how he won his championship last June and later told of his unique Wooing. It was at the Chicago World's Fair in 1933, he said. He was demonstrat- ing typewriters when he looked up and saw “the most beautiful girl” standing on a balcony, enraptured | by the dashing staccato produced by | his nimble fingers. “She was demonstrating pianos,” Tangora related. “I would serenade her on my typewriter and she would serenade me on a piano. When I first saw her I told a friend, ‘That’s the girl I'm going to marry.’ I did— right after the fair was over.” Won Titles in Chicago. ‘Tangora won the international type- writer contest in Chicago on June 28 by writing 128 errorless words a minute for one hour.

LOS ANGELES, August 29.—The Federal grand jury indicted five men yesterday on charges of “piratically and feloniously” boarding and rob- bing the gambling barge Monte Carlo of about $21,000 in silver and cur- last July 9 off Long Beach. Those indicted were Carl Carrillo, Walter Miller, August Wunderlich, Frank Gibbons and Harry Allen Sher- wood.

MIAMI, Fla, August 29.—The Municipal Ownership League yester- day demanded the City Commission apply for a $10,000,000 W. P. A. loan to establish city-owned utilities. After 50 minutes of acrimonious debate, chiefly between two success- ful and two unsuccessful candidates in last May’s City Commission election, the demand was “received and placed on file.” One of the losers, R. C. Gardner, president of the league, asked im- mediate action and fired a parting verbal shot that was interpreted by some as a reference to the recall move- missioners. these low round- trip fares Luray Caverns_. 3.90 Rehoboth Beach_ 8.90 Tickets and Information © BUS CENTER ° | Penna.

By the Associated Press, The big question raised by Wil- liam Randolph Hearst's advocacy of Alfred E. Smith to be the 1936 “Jef- fersonian” Democratic presidential nominee was “what will be Smith’s attitude?” Political enmity heretofore . between Smith and Hearst accounted for the amazement with which the sugges- tion was greeted by many in the Capital. The availability of Smith to oppose President Roosevelt for renomination, or possibly to lead an independent ticket, had been discussed in some quarters long before the Hearst state- ment. No public notice has been taken by Smith, but repeatedly he has registered skepticism on policies since 1932. At the Chicago convention which nominated Mr. Roosevelt, Smith was a leader of the opposition. Once his cause lost, he left for New York with- out waiting for Mr. Roosevelt's spec- D. C, THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1935. tacular arrival by alr to accept the nomination. Support After Urging. It was only after some weeks, and urging, that he took to the speaking platform on behalf of the party ticket. Fqr some months following inaugura- tion, he kept relatively silent. Just a year ago, he joined other opponents of ‘the New Deal in founding the American Liberty League, which has since become one of the most per- sistent organization critics of the Roosevelt course. 1f Smith should agree with Hearst that he is the “accredited leader” of the Democratic party today, it was believed by those familiar with his outspokenness that he will riot hesitate to express himself more ofien in the future than he has of late. Whether he will carry this to co-operation with an independent political movement ‘was another question. Until his position becomes known in the light of the Hearst proposal, leading Democrats were disinclined to commit themselves on the potential- ities of last night's unexpected de- velopment. Leaders Are Unalarmed, New Deal political leaders have been counting so far on the election-year pull of party regularity to offset moves for an independent Democratic ticket. Announcement in New York yester- day by Bainbridge Colby, the Wilson Secretary of State, of plans to project a “Constitutional Democrats” came paign caused little apparent perturba- tion among them. “That’s just one of those moves that is being threatened in the hope of getting a party to weaken us,” was the Postscript!!
