Roosefelt, in charge of the gov- {ernor’'s boom for the democratic presi- dential nomination, A first edition of 25,000 copies already has been sent to “Al's” friends, o Mr. Roosc®® declarcd yesterddy | he was hearing “from a iarge num- lnmrl\nble and growing sentiment” for Smith, but he would make no claims and no prophecies on the subject of the number of delegates the governor would have at the convention. i The convention, he asserted, would be really an “open” one. The Smith faction, he added, intended to use “every honorable means to convince the necessary two-thirds of the dele- gates that Gov. Smith would be the { best standard bearer of the democra- tic party and would have the best chance of election,” The pamphlet quotes Adoo as having said of Smith: “His public carcer has qualified him by training and experience for | great office, and his ability and char- acter fit him admirably for the dis- charge of responsible duties," The only mention of Governor Smith’'s position on prohibition is: “He { petitioned congress to permit the sev- eral states to godify the definition in the Volstead law.” W.

The fall of the franc is attributed by the experts to purchases of foreign currency by importers for the mid-May settiement which they have been postponing until the last | moment in the hope that the tranc would further improve. Thelr pur- chasing in & body is being taken ad- vantage of by the speculators, the ex- perts say, The nationalist organ such as Echo De Paris, however, declare the move- ment was launched by the big Ger- man manufacturers with the idea of spreading panic In France on the eve of the parllamentary elections. The Echo De Paris uses the caption in large types: "“Fresh offensive against our franc." This newspaper, however, admits that the reasons advanced by the ex- perts also have much to do with the decline, WINS ON 12TH GAME, Brooklyn Checker Star Had Played 11 Tie Games.

Then the tone of the posters changes rapidly, becoming sarcastic, then acrimonious this stage of the campaign the dead- walls and billboards flare out to the passer-by such announcements as these: “A Lie Nailed," “The Liar Pil- loried,” *“The Turncoat Exposed,” “The Renegade Cornered.” Only in the past few years have political parties, following the ex- ample set by the government during the war, made use of the illustrated poster and cartoon. Some of the old billboards ;which still bear remnants of loan posters will be utilized to dis- play a cartoon intended .to impress the pzople with the dangers of & cap- ital levy., A dark and lowering hand with finger nails like the beak of a vulture emerges from the center of the sheet ready to crush in its grasp the team of horses with which a farmer is ploughing his field. The caption is “The capital levy will seize upon what is easily to be seen; money alone will be able to hide” Un- derneath there is a text to remind the voter that Monsler Herriot, leader of the Radical party and of the Block to the Left, ingroduced a resolution in favor of a capital levy in the Cham- ber. pe Apother poster of the same sort represents a farmer caressing his horse while his cow is grazing close by and othed farm stock is visible in the distance, This poster bears the caption, “Which do you want the cap- ital levy to take?” o A poster that is being used freely all over France is headed, “This Is How the German Pays,” and reproduces an extract from the German Soclalist paper, Vorvaerts, calling upon Ger- man Soclalists to subscribe to a fund for the promotion of Soclalism in France as well as in Germany, and particularly to contribute to ‘the downfall of Poincare. The poster is really the only means by which the candidate is certain to reach people who are not of his party and do not read his party organs, DROP TWO SHOOTERS Americans Removed From Olympic Team Because of French Protests Spokane, Wash,, May 9. — Frank Troeh, Portland, and Frank Hughes, Mobridge, 8.
