B, 2 o W S et he for ite, 51~ ol- the are SHITH PREFERS T0 TALK OVER RADIO Will Dodge Open Air Speeches 85 Much as Possible New York, Aug. 24 (M—There will be no open air campaigning for Gov- ernor Smith, if he can help it. The radio has too much appeal for him. Personally he is known to have felt for some time the rutility of con- ducting an extensive outdoor speech- making tour when such modern means as the radio, with its voice- saving qualities, is available. The governor has had consider- able experience in taking the stump and extending the voice in an effort to reach the (ringe of the crowd. He has campaigned five times for governor and many more times in lesser political roles. But he also has seen candidates come and go, simply because they had worn them- selves out by their outdoor tactics at what he considers the most im- portant period of any campaign— the last week or two. Whether the democratic nominee adheres strictly to an indoor speak- ing program of course, depends upon the availability of broadcasting fa- cilities, but it is certain, his friends emphasize, that the campaign now under way will see no counterpart of the old stumping days of Bryan and Roosevelt and others who, at times, made as many as 20 or 25 speeches a day to field audiences. In covering his itinerary, about the country, and there is growing evidence that it will b: a real swing, Gov. Smith of course, will appear on the rear platform of his train at intervals, shake hands, and prob- ably say a few words, but wherever a radio hookup can be obtained which will cover the territory he thinks should be covered, it is gen- erally believed among those close to him he will take advantage of that method. No more striking evidence that this s the demociatic presidential candidate's idea of the way his campaign should be conducted was §hen than when he turned thumbs down on an invitation that he make a speech to the great ouidoor crowd which 18 expecied to turn out for the democratic rally at Seagirt, N. J., Baturday night. This rally, heid yearly at the governol exercises dmith prob- ably will attend, but he will make no speech. The rally also will be attended by Gov. Moore of New Jer- sey and Gov. Ritchie of Maryland. The governor and his party will stop at Spring Lake, a short dis- tance from Seagirt, remaining there over the weck-end. It has not yet been decided wheth- er he will go direct to Syracuse from New Jersey, but it is thought he most likely will return to Albany | first. He has an engagement to at- tend the state fair at Syracuse Aug- ust 30. En route to Spring Lake from Al- bany, Gov. Smith, accompanied by Mers, Smith, members of the family, and many close friends stopped oft at New York to spend the night at ‘the Hotel Biltmore. The governor had an engagement today at demo- cratic national headquarters, wWhere “e expected to see, among others, armer Senator Hoke Smith of Geor- fa, and Justus Wardell of 8an Francisco, who managed his pre- convention campaign in California. Just what they were to talk about no one knew, but campaign plans are in the making and these un- doubtedly were on the program. On the train from Albany the governor was asked whether he thought there was anything incon- sistent in a dry democrat running for the senate or the house on the ticket with him. “Everybody who is nominated for office stands on the platform of the supreme body of the party, to wit: the national convention,” he replied. “Then you don't regard lh(-‘l“ bound by your acceptance npee(h?" *No one can amend the platform, Mr. Smith declared. The governor said the reaction to his acceptance speech thus far had been favorable “judging from the messages” he had received. Some 3,000 telegrams had reached him within an hour after he completed the address, he said. He also de- clared, in answer to questions put to him, that he did not see how any ~sensible” person could take of- fense at his stand on prohibition. While under considerable strain owing to the last minute confusion which attended the switching of his notification ceremony from the east steps of the state capitol to the as- sembly chamber inside. the demo- cratic nominee could not help fall- ing back into his characteristic jov- 1al mood as soon as he set foot on his native New York uoil. “gee that you get vour right bags. boys.” he sald to a crowd of news- papermen waiting for a red cap. and he hurried off to his hotel as photographers bhoomed flashlight powder in the air. Wa, Sacred Elephant, Dies in Native India Calcutta, India., Aug 2¢ (UP)— Pa Wa; the sacred white elephant. who recently returned from a trium- pHal tour of the United States and Canada. died today at the Calcutta 700 at a time when he was really beginning to appreciate his pachy- dermal existence. Pa Wa lived but 10 yeara but his INfe was one of ease—except perhaps for the few unpleasant moments necesmary - to- hoist him aboard steamships—for he was no ordinary elephant. He was worshipped devoutedly by Ruddhists in Burma who belteved he was the reincarnation of Buddha. INMATES CARYE MESSAGES UPON WALLS OF CELLS, Tragic Stories Told in Many In-| scriptions On Jail Stones Denver, Colo.

SMITH GUEST, - REALLY 13 HOSTESS 'Hotel Astor Ballroom Crowded With Women New York, Aug. 24 (P—Victm of an onslaught by 3,000 curious but sympathetic women democrats, Mrs. Alfred E. Smith had her first taste last night of publicly being the wife of a presidential nominee. The ballroom of the Hotel Astor fairly bulged with women as they crowded fo the reception given in honor of Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Joe Rob- inson, and former Governor Nellie Taylor Ress, by the women’s demo- cratic organizations of greater New York. But the bulging gradually con- centrated itself toward the receiv- ing line platform where 12 women, | Buests_and hostesses, were barri- caded by a thin little rope which did hold against the massed fem- inity. The rope broke and several hun dred startled women found them selves thrust unceremoniously upon the persons of the women they had come to gaze upon Mrs. Smith, cordial and smiling mingly upon the crowds that were falling upon her partners in the social event, tried in vain to catch the rope, but the back rows “The big ones have other things|retreated. saving the day, and the think | 8uests of honor. In her simple-line cream colored lace frock, decked at the shoulder with a cluster of orchids, Mrs. Smith made a pleasing picture of a shy but earnest participent in the event, rather than a star performer. At Mrs. Smith's side stood the | slim little wife of the vice presi- dential candidate, Mrs. Robinson, wearing a frock of blush-rose lace with yellow roses on her shoulder. Neither of the guests would speak before the crowd. but graciously | acknowledged the tributes paid them by Mrs. Franklin . Roosevelt, head |of the women's division cf the na- |tional committee, M Ross and | Miss Annie Matthews, registrar of | New York. | Mrs. Roosevelt was charming and gracious as ever. She wore a straight line Alice blue satin frock with a | string of fine pearls at her throat. The disappointment of the guests at the reception was great when it was learned that Governor Smith would not make an appearance, but it was somewhat allayed by the ap- pearance of the vice presidential | candidate who spoke briefy. | Women were gathered from all parts of the country for the party, | and political talk was rifé as section- | al questions on the on the national problems were discussed by women representatives of the south, the de- | batable castern states, and farming communities of the middle west “I wish Tammany Hall would send | | | Expello’s wonder- ful vapor penetrates all fabrics . . . no moth escapes ExpELLO is different fsom an; moth-killer you ever used.
