REED REACHES HOUSTON
WARM FIGHT PROMISED
(Co&tinad horn pf 1.)
cratic leaders of the south was
started here today in an effort to
stop Alfred E. Smith in the party
convention which opens here next
Tuesday.
Faced with the necessity for
quick action if they are to head
off the candidate whose foes .con
cede he has within a hundred
votes of enough to obtain the pres
idential nomination, the leaden
made a thorough canvas of the
delegate situation, assessing the
potential strength against the New
York governor not only in their
own group but in other anti
Smith camps.
Roper Leading Light
Daniel Roper, of North Caro
lina, internal revenue commission
er In the Wilson administration
and one of William G. McAdooV
chief lieutenants in the Madison
Square Garden convention four
years ago, appeared to be one of
the moving spirits in the effort
to coalesce the elements that are
not reconciled to Smith's nomin
ation. He declined, however, to
diBcuss the movements. -
With, the prohibition question
Thrown squarely into the conven
tion by Governor Smith's adher
ents, those seeking to prevent his
nomination were canvassing the
situation In the hope that this
turn in events might give them
the strength to turn back the now
leading candidate. -
Campaign Outlined
Quietly they discussed plans to
brtne. about Smith's downfall by
withholding from him more than
one third of the delegate strength
over a- series of ballots. Some of
the anti-Smith rroun declared that
if his nomination could be check
ed for ten ballots, the convention
would turn to some other candi
date.
They contended that the Smith
strength, now conceded to exceed
a majority of the 1.100 conven
lion votes, was made up of so
many discordant elements that it
ronld not be held together as a
cohesive group for any great
length of time after the balloting
actually had begun.
Smith Cavmp Cheerful
On the other hand, the Smith
leaders, apparently undisturbed
by the signs of renewed activity in
the opposition camp, passed' the
word that the nomination of their
candidate could be brought about
on the first ballot. If necessary
but that there would be no effort
to force the issue until the favorite
cens had been given full opportun
ity to develop their strength.
While the Smith forces admit
tedly will be in control of the
convention. George R. Van Namee,

Eastern Tourists Now
Registering at Camp
Wednesday night was the high
mark at the municipal auto camp
for the season thus far. Thirty-
six cars were .registered there that
night. 30 of which were new and
six holdovers from the night be
fore.
The great trek from the east
ern states is now reaching Salem.
There were three cars in the camp
from Minnesota that night, two
from St. Paul and one from Forest
Lake.
Among the visitors were Mr.
and Mrs. E. B. McDonald from
Dallas. Texas. They are delighted
with. Oregon and could hardly
find words to express their ad
miration of Salem. Mrs. McDon
ald declared "People who live in
pre-convention manager for the
New York governor, reiterated
that there would be no attempt at
steamroller tactics; that New
York state would insist upon free
dom of speech in the convention
and full liberty of action by all
elements within the party. Gover
nor Smith's declaration at New
York yesterday that he had not
changed his belief that amend
ment of the prohibition provisions
was necessary was seised upon by
the drys as adding strength to
their cause, but the Smith adher
ents argued that this declaration
almost on the eve of the conven
tion showed the sincellty of the
New York executive.
Fight Not Foreeee
Van Namee refused to concede
that renewed discussion over pro
hibition might cause a bitter fight
in the convention and his view
was held by a-number of other
leaders who hare not been over i
friendly to the cause of the gov
ernor of the Empire state.
Some of the Smith leaders took
the position that the governor's
declaration had in no way pre
cluded their support of a strong
dry enforcement plank in the par
ty platform since he repeatedly
has stated that the constitutor
must be upheld and enabling acts
rigidly enforced.
Hot Fight Anticipated
Tne ann-smitn groups were
heartened by the arrival of Sena
tor James A. ' Reed of Missouri,
whom they expect to conduct a
militant campaign to stop the gov
ernor.
The Mlssourlan was prepared
for a fight to the finish and hi?
managers asserted that he would
pick up strength steadily as the
balloting in the convention pro
ceeded, probably next Thursday or
Friday.

Nearly every evening now Sa
lem reaidenta who formerly lived
in the east or the mlddlewest go
to the auto camp to look for vis
itors 'from their home state. Often
they are able to find someone
from their home town or home

of friendly interest is a fine ad

hold away from the governor a
large enough block of votes to pre
vent htm from obtaining the nom
ination. The leaders said that if
Smith forces began to disintegrate
It would be time enough then to
gree upon a candidate.
Hull Takes Dry Stasd
Cordell Hull, who has the en
dorsement of the democracy of
Tennessee for the presidential
nomination, was called in tonight
on the conferences but he said
that his only participation was to
prepare a statement setting forth
his views in favor of prohibition,
a statement called forth by head
lines in a local newspaper, but
coming qnickly upon the heels of
Governor Smith's reiteration at
New York that he had not
changed his belief that the pro
hibition provisions should be
amended.
Representative Hull said he was
in a receptive mood but that he
did not propose to enter Into a
bitter party fight such as attended
the Madison Square Garden gath
ering. He added, however, he
wanted his stand on prohibition
as well as on other question of
the hour known to the country.
Meetings Held la Private
A deal of secrecy was thrown
around the conferences-which are
to be continued perhaps up to the
very time of the balloting for the
presidential nomination. South
ern leaders now on the ground
look tor the augmenting of their
forces as others arrive from Ala
bama. North Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, and Virginia.
! Some other of the Smith oppon
ents were approached before the
initial conference was held but It
was reported that they had declin
