The new 6-PLY Riverside Mate is the
greatest tire value that we have ever of
fered. An euen better Miles-Per-Dollar
value tlian the tire Mr. Amnion praises.
For here arc the lowest prices at which
we have ever sold a 6-PLY Heavy Duty
Riverside Tire. Think of this: 6 Plies
From Read to Head at the Usual Price of
Other 4-Ply Tires.'
Riverside is one of America's most fanv
ous tires. For 20 years we have supplied
them to the motoring public. They arc of
the highest quality it is possible to pro
duce. They are built by one of the world's
largest tire companies. They are backed
by a new unlimited guarantee the fairest
and most liberal ever put on any tire.
We'll match Riversides on the road
against any tire and beat it in price. So
why be satisfied with other 4-Ply tires

he did not name. It was that refer
ence which gave his audience one
of the definite clues to the direction

lenders- Weighing Effect
Today the Democratic leaders were
weighing the effect of this startling
development on the party fortunes
and upon the candidacy of Roosevelt
who now is way beyond any rivals
on the road to nomination, with 316
pledged and claimed delegates. Im
mediate repercussions were awaited.
Smith flung Into the meeting also
a proposal for settling the war debts
and stimulating American foreign
trade by this government's offering
the debtor nations to "forget" their
obligations for 20 years, meanwhile
reducing their total each year by 36
per cent of their purchases of Airier! - i
can goods. Considerably elaborated,
this plan received an uncertain re- 1
sponse, with much less applause than '
was volunteered many of his utter
ances. Earlier the group had been startled
bv the nroffer of a comDromise wet I
plan from the dry state of Virginia.
Former aovernor Harry Flood Byrd
proposed immediate amendment of
the constitution to make possible a
direct referendum by the people, to
be held thereafter at a date unmarked
by political contests on the direct
lssuo of continuing, abridging or re
pealing the ,18th amendment.
This, with smith's renewal of his
urging for a states' rights plank, al
lowing states to remain wet or dry
as they chose, was one of the few
references to prohibition In the
party proceedings.

coming at the end of a day replete
with rallies, speeches and campaign
planning, heard also Governor Albert
C. Ritchie of Maryland, former Gov
ernor James M. Cox of Ohio, the
tonstmaster, and John J. Raskob, the
party's national chairman. Senator
J. Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois, on
the program for a speech, was not
able to attend. The general tenor
of the talks was an assault on the
Republican administration, coupled
with predictions of triumph for
Democracy this election.
Smith said:
"Some Democrats say, 'give us a
short convention;' others say 'nom
inate ft candidate against whom noth
ing can be said while there cannot
be much said for him. The disposi
tion to gloss over controversial ques
tions In an attempt to please both
sides of the argument will bring forth
a meaningless document, a colorless
candldato and a weakened party. Ex
perience will win nothing for democ
racy." A short convention is the particu
lar objective of the Roosevelt forces,
although many not definitely in his
column Join In wishing at all costs
to prevent the type of long deadlock
which occurred In the 1924 Madison
Square garden convention. Several
speakers last night mentioned a long
Democratic convention as a Repub
lican hope and promised the opposi
tion would not have its wish.
For Clear-Cut Program
Smith advocated a clear-cut plat
form, which besides his war debt plan
and liquor control project reiterated
a demand for scientific tariff rates
written by a non-partisan commis
sion, and a thorough reorganization
of the government machinery.
He called for a short platform,
criticizing the party for devoting
space in the past to attacking the
Republicans Instead of concisely and
definitely offering constructive pro
posals. Unemployment, he said, would
have to be remedied gradually, for
"there is no such thing as waving
(lie magic wnna
to an attack on demagoguery.
"This is no time for demagogues.
At a time like this when millions
of men and women and children are
starving throughout the land, there
Is always the temptation of some
men to Btlr up class prejudice, to
stir up the bitterness of the rich
against the poor, and the poor against
tho rich. Against that effort I set
myself uncompromisingly.
"I protest against the endeavor to
delude the poor people to their ruin
by trying to make them believe that
they can get employment before the
people who would ordinarily employ
them are also again restored to con
ditions of normal prosperity."
Upon this followed his declaration
that he would fight. Smith pointing
out he was making the one excep
tion to his earlier declaration that
while he would accept the nomina
tion n tendered oy tne convention,
ho would not, up to that time, be foe j
or against any candidate.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat. Mon-;
tana, a supporter of Roosevelt, said i
Smith's speech' was "unworthy of!
him," and sounded like "the house i
of Morgan speaking." 1
Senator Walsh. Democrat, Mossa- j
chusetts, a Smith advocate, praised i
the speech as a "frank and cour- :
ageous statement of his views on the i
political questions of the hour."
Wheeler said that "as an ardent I
supporter of Governor Smith in 1928, 1
I am sorry to hear him for his own ;
sake utter such foolish statements 1
as he did last evening.
"It only goes to prove again the
tri.Uh of the old proverb: 'Who the '
gods would destroy, they first moke
mad'." Wheeler said.
Referring to Smith's proposal for
a 20-year moratorium on foreign '
debts, he said: I
"These foreign governments of
course cant pay off their indebted
ness with commodity prices as low
as they are today, but I am much
more interested in the little busi
nessman, the farmer and debtors In
this country than foreign debtors.
uniess ine aouar can be cheap-
ttons of debts not only in Europe
but in this country.
"Governor Smith didn't feel that
those who advocated a greater pur
chasing power an behalf of the far-
mer In 1928 were demagogues "
Walsh said he believed the public
would welcome "the same frankness
that characterized Governor Smith's
speech," from all other political lead
ers. Referring to Smith's debt state
ment, Walsh said it would "provoke
most favorable reaction."
"He has presented In his debt sug
gestion." Walsh said, "a view that
lias not heretofore been emphasised."
But his greatest emphasis went In- ened there will be wholesale repudla
