It was first taken to the scales at the lighthouse department where _ it was found that allowing for drying out during Sunday, yesterday and last night, and loss of blood, it went on the air to tell about prep- arations for the Philadelphia con- vention.

Little was left to the imagina- tion as to how supporters of the Roosevelt administration reacted to the former New York gover- nor’s attack after these replies. Republicans Delighted There will be repetition of this sort of thing aimost constantly from now on. Smith’s di owal of the “new deal” has delighted the Republicans and they may be expected to make political capital of it at every opportunity. As for the Democrats, the _ his- tory of the party invariably shows that they much prefer an honest free-for-all scrap among them- selves to one with the Republi- cans. Most of them take it that democracy itself is founded on that principle. Many in the party—both sup- porters of the “new deal” as well as those violently opposed—who otherwise might have stayed away from Philadelphia on the premise that the convention would be a cut and dried affair at best will be found in the van-|with Mr. and Mrs, Horn, Mr. and!
