here, let him come. ...

delegate. The floor is his he
wants it."
Smith Keeps Silence
On Attendance Plans
At least one man, Alfred J.
Kennedy, alternate delegate from
New York city, called upon iSmith
to come before the convention.
The former New York governor
tonight had not said yes or no
although few expected him to
come. Nor would he reply in 5ew
.York to a question whether1 he
would speak. in behalf fo Alt' Lan
don,c the republican nominee.
As for the thunder on thus left,
Farley reiterated that neither the
platform nor other plans would
, be changed to woo supporters
from the Lemke-Coughlin union
party.
Officially, .the only business
'here today was a meeting of the
democratic national committee."
The - committee formally rati-,

ben W. Barkley of Kentucky to
deliver the keynote speech tomor
row night, and of Senator Joseph
T. Robinson of Arkansas, to take

With no word from Wagner,
the field was left open for the
platform guessers. But they made
up for his silence. If he should

assumed to be carrying, there
were plenty of delegates ready
to offer planks for a new one.
3 -Year Term Is

much as all points involved had
been argued in the trial which
occupied Monday and Tuesday of
last week, except that Burris
made a further statement in of
fering proof of the Marion county
circuit court record in the case
of Emon Chaloupka vs. O. D.
Bower as sheriff of Marion coun
ty. Burris stated -that he wished
to show by this court record that
through judgment of the court in
this case the police officers were
bound, to return so-called slot ma
chines to their owners and were
advised that right of confiscation
of such property did not exist;
and that further this showing
was made to contradict the testi
mony of the state that the de
fendant agreed to accept a bribe
for action of returning certain
slot machines to Elwood Brown.
Brown appeared as the state's
chief witness in the trial.
Before pronouncing sentence.
Judge Latourette asked Coffey if
he had anything to say in his
behalf.
Can. Prove Innocence,
Coffey Asserts
"I haven't anything to say, with
exception that I did not accept a
bribe and can prove my inno
cence to the public," Coffey stated
in a clear voice.
In spite of the early hour, a
fair-sized crowd was on hand
in the courtroom.
Burris told the court that he
had nothing to say before sen
tence was pronounced except to
claim the conduct of the witness
on which the state's testimony
was based showed the contradic
tion In evidence.
Prosecutor Moody, the last to
speak before sentence was im
posed, said he disagreed with
counsel for the defense that there
was any substantial contradiction
in the testimony in the case.
"I feel that the defendant has
had a fair trial. A public office is
a public trust; the very founda
tion of government depends upon
honesty in public office. When
one permits his public, office to
be prostituted and debauched the
foundation of this government
is undermined. The Judgment of
the court is imprisonment in the
state penitentiary for not more
than three years," Judge Latour
ette said. -
While the statute gives the
penalty under the bribery convic
tion as from five to 16 years, this
is superseded by the indetermin
ate sentence statute, which makes
mandatory upon the court only
a prison sentence, with no men
tion of minimum or maximum
years to be served.

Sportsmen Hear
Talks, Measures
Members of the Salem Hunt
ers and Anglers - dab met ,, last
night in the chamber of - com
merce rooms to hear William L.
Finley, co-editor of Nature ma
gazine; E. F. AverilL chairman
of the Oregon state conservation
council, and E. A. Slarvick, exe
cutive secretary of the Columbia
River, Fisherman's Protective
Union, speak on the need of game
conservation in Oregon and of
different Initiative measures pro
posed to further such an end.
Finley, who recently flew to
Portland, from New Mexico, re
marked on having seen the Rogue
river and its tributaries, which,
he affirmed, were red from mud
pollution caused by mines along
river banks, in detriment to fish
life.
Averill spoke before the local
sportsmen in favor of a proposed
initiative measure, which, he
claimed, would "take the game
commission out of politics." The
bill advocated would . make the
game commissioner position one
of semi-permanent incumbency,
instead of frequent change in oc
cupancy. Slarvick asked support of the
Initiative measure proposed by his
Protective Union which would
eliminate all but drif tnet fishing
on the Columbia. .
