This will perhaps be the biggest

good sized volume. Fine berries,
too. This week: will about finish

At the Hunt cannery, there will
be 200 ton days this week. Per

The peak of Royal Ann cherry
picking will not be reached for a
few days yet. Some of the large
orchards have scarcely started in
their contributions to the volume
of the cherry supply here.
The Hunt cannery will put some
loganberries into barrels for the

Between the barreling and can

few tons, it is likely that all the
loganberries will be picked and
marketed.

VIRTUALLY NO CHANCE BEEN

Opponents of Tammany Hall Can

Weakened Forces
By JAMES L. WILLIAMS
Associated Press Staff Writer
j HOUSTON, Texas, June 25
(AP) rThe democratic presiden
tial nomination lay just around
the corner tonight for Governor
Alfred E. Smith of New York.
Meeting here to choose iu stan
dard bearer, the party's national
convention will get together to-
J morrow at noon with a greater
number of delegates committed to
one man than at any time since
1916 when Woodrow Wilson was
named by acclamation.
An insistent minority was do
ing battle against the New York
governor tonight but it .was not
coordinated force. Its cry was for
a dry candidate and a dry platform,-
but where the Smith ranks
were solid for their man the min
ority group apparently had been
unable to settle upon a unity of
command or upon a leader for
whom to wage Its warfare. The
one purpose was to defeat Smith
and to most of the delegates who
came here' to prime the party for
the 1928 campaign that seemed to
be a forlorn hope.
The serenity with which the
Smith ranks faced the issue con
trasted sharply with the bustling
manner in whUh the opposition
workers dashed about in the hot
Texas sun in their efforts today
to line up and hold a third of the
convention votes necessary to pre
vent the nomination of the man
they had grouped against.
Smith managers even sent forth
word that their main worry was
to prevent his selection on the
first ballot. This strategy, it was
explained, was designed to pre
vent wounds which might be i
flicted oh favorite sons who tailed
to receive their complimentary
vote from the convention. -
But with : signs of discourage
ment visible to them on every
hand, the antl-Smithrgroup-were
fighting for Hull, for George; for
Reed, and for anyone else whom
it thought might muster the
strength to prevent the elevation
of the New York governor to the
party leadership. Their one slo
gan was "prohibition."
Aiding the dry delegates with
prayer meetings, with personal ap
peals, with literature and with en
thusiasm were hundreds of friends
