POLITICS IS OP 1928 MODEL
'Hobver and Smith in Hands of
High Powered Expert Salesmen.
Umiston July 2. Politics is
catching up with the times.
The politics practiced here
and at Kansas City is strictly
1928 model. Very different from
"what the oldtimers are used to.

Cheap tricks of the patent med-
icine Barker of the 90's are be-
ing driven out by the more dig

methods of modern salesmanship'.

NEW WAV OP HITCHING
HORSES WILL BE SHOWN
It is said that in no state in
the union is the horse staging a
stronger "come-uacK" than in
Texas. Hence it is proper that
the Horse association of Amer-
ica whicji has begun a national
campaign to educate the farm-
ers of America in the proper and
most profitable methods of
handling horses should have
been invited to offer its first
educational demonstration in the
southwest at the state fair of
Texas Dallas Oct. 6 to 21.
One of the most interesting
features will be daily demonstra
tions of the proper methods of
farm work. This?

er is.
'Those who came here expect-
ing Tammany in its hour of vic-
tory to stage the greatest polit-
ical show of the times were dis-
appointed when the demonstrat-
ing following the placing of Gov.
Smith in nomination lasted only
for 26 minutes as compared with
more than an hour in Madison
Square Garden in 1924.
Everybody who stops to think
fanows that no amount of en-
thusiasm will keep an audience
cheering for more than a few
iminutes with artifical assist-
hnce. So political managers each
seeking to rive the imoression
'that his candidate was the most
popular resorted to artifical ef-
forts to nrolnnr applause so that
rivals would be nutdone by at
least a few seconds.
Torchlight Tactics Went Out
With Bustle
The Madison Square Garden"
demonstration for Smith four
years ago probably was the most
elaborate example of this sort of
pre-arranged demonstration that
was ever staged. For more than
an hour an ear-splitting din wa?
kent up by a squad of men in tho
galleries cranking firo deuart-
"ment sirens. This was the basis
of the Smith demonstration and
it lasted until the boys were
'cranking the sirens wore out.
'So when the Smith cheering
-was only reasonably noisy here
and when it stopped after hav-
ing continued less than half as
long as it' did four years ago.
some said the Smith managers
!had fallen down on the job.
On the contrary the Smith
campaign this year has been con-
ducted on the modern lines which
have come in with the great po
litical success of the silent Cool-
idge. Hoover the successful re
fit to the horse industry
Olmsted's Opinion
"I know that it would benefit
every farmer in Texas to see
these free demonstrations" says
Harry A. Olmsted president of
the state fair. "They will teach
our people how to hitch and
drive their horses with the 'lying-in'
and 'busking-in' systems
which are the real secret in
handling large learns enabling
one man to do as much work in
a day as several can do under the
old-fashioned system which now
prevails.
"The demonstrations at the
state fair of Texas this year will
show Texas farmers 4 5 G. 8
10 and 12 horse teams hitched
and driven on plows harrows
discs cultivators planters drills
and combinations of these imple
ments the hitches being made to
enable the horses to do more
work with less effort and with
fewer men to handle the larger
teams.
"It is claimed that the farmer
can add $200 a year to his prof-
its by working his horSGs and
mules to the largest possible
teams adapted to his farm. If
that is true then it would pay
every farmer in Texas to come
to the state fair in October to
attend these daily hitching dem-
onstrations alone. Of course we
do not expect every farmer to
do this but those who do come
will learn the secrets and have
just that much of an 'edge' upon
their neighbors."
Dallas Texas July 2 In a
sworn statement here today
Mrs. Edith Wilams of Dalas
candidate for governor of Texas
emphatically declared that she
would not support Gov. Alfred
E. Smith Democratic nominee
for President.
Another frmally to annuonce
his intention of bolting the
Democratic party here today
was Thomas 15. ove candidate
for lieutenant governor and
leader of the ultra-dry element
of Texas Democrats.
Declarli 'g that a voter has as
mum ngn1- to uolt a nominee as
a nominee has to bolt a plat
form plank that was adopted
with his knowledge and without
his protest Love declared that
for the first time in 40 years he
would vote against the Demo-
cratic jarty..
"Prohibition is written into'
the Constitution. It is the
pride of my life that I helped
write it. My conscience wil
not allow me to vote to put Al-
fred E. Smith in the White
House."
"I have hoped against hope
that Mr. Smith would not be
nominated and that we would be
saved from the necessity of de-
claring our contract void" said
Mrs. Wilmans "but my hopes
have not materialized.
"I do not believe that the
honest voter is bound by any
pledge to support the Demo
cratic nominee when the Demo-
cratic National Convention has
attempted to fill its contract
with a people by delivering to us
a rotten deal in place of the one
we contracted for" continued
the statement. "No court in
the land in any civil contract
will hold such contract binding
where tho consideration has
failed.
"I feel that it would be better
for the Democratic party to fail
than to succeed in forcing upon
the good citizens of the United
States a man who by his acts as
trovernor of New York has nulli-
fied the prohibition amendment
in the State of New York.'"

There Was a Difference
Betty ngo five wanted a puppy and
was frequently asking her father to
get her one. One day daddy decided
to fulfill her wish and spent ono after-
noon making the rounds of the pel
shops but none of tho dogs seemed to
suit Betty. Finally tliey drove out to
the dog pond where there were quite
a number of dogs all shapes and sizes
I'etty was Interested but not In any
ono dog. The keeper of the pound said
to her: "What kind of a dog did you
want little girl?" to which Betty re
piled "I want u colic dog."
Favored Settlement
After little Jimmy had listened to
his older brothers saying the Lord's
prayer he felt that he too had at-
tained the ago at which he might
dU-card his childish praxer for the
Lord's prayer. With his mother's
consent he bravely started In. All
went well until he came to the words
"ForgIo us our debts" then his mem
ory failed. He considered for several
moments and again bowing his head
lie finished with "Forgive us our
debts and help us to pay them."
