It Will Not Be Long.
John D. Was Quiet.
Bootleg Courtesy. ;" IS:
Hard Work Gets It.' .;
.(.Copyright, 1827, by New Tor
4 Evenloi Journal. I no.)
When this wns written Wed
nesday wise men in Houston ex
pected Governor Smith to be
nominated by acclamation on
the first ballot, and Senator
Robinson of Arkansas nominat
ed, nlso on one ballot, for Vice
President. Lutlwir, the eminent German
writer, spent an afternoon with
John D. Rockefeller, and will
tell the world about him. Mr.
Rockefeller said to him s "Look,
1 have done everything I have
done by being quiet. When I
was young I only needed to put
the right people in the right
Soli."
That's the biggest problem,
to find the right people and put
them in the right job.
Industrialists say there are
not enough--..ion for the big po
sitions. That is true. Also,
there are not enough big
industrialists that know the
right man for the big position
when they see him. The man
is usually right under their
noses.
In the South everything is
courtesy. Hootlcggcrs at Hous
ton apologized through a local
newspaper, expressing regret at
being compelled to raise prices.
They had no idea how thirsty
the crowd "would be, and found
themselves on Monday with
only .'1000 cases, 36,000 bottles,
of whiskey and casual assist
ance from local stills. Under
the cireiunstances they were
obliged to raise prices. "Law
til' supply and demand," they
said. -
It seems unnecessary for the
Democrats to demand an end of
prohibition.
"Hard work gets if. There
is no royal road to success."
That was Governor Smith's
message to the graduating class
of the parochial high school of
the Cathedral of the Immacu
late Conception, ol which his
if-.Vear-old boy is president.
The advice that Governor
Smith gave the boys is needed
by many would-be "get-rieli-quick"
moderns, old ami young.
f- Governor Smith advised the
hoys to benefit by their educa
tion and appreciate an advan
tage thnt he never had.
He told them that when other
men talked about their college
degrees, . A., Ph. D., etc., he
told them his letters were F. V.
M., standing for "Kulton Kish
Market," where he worked as
n lad.
Governor Smith's early expe
riences in hard work will en
able him to appeal to many men
in his campaign that would not
be reached by a "Ph. D."
"Call money," the kind used
lor stock gambling, cost I'i

wants to discontinue gambling
foolishness. Rut even T2 per
eent money and culling $.'i0,0M1,

sales have dropped to "ONLY"
something over 1.000,000 shares,
but prices hold and rise.

Platform Differences Flare

That Controversy Had j

!' Floor Looms Dry Floor:
1 Leader Insists Upon More1
i Arid Plank. . i
HOUSTON', Texas, June 2S. (ff) :
H:30 p. m.) 1) Tlio platform
drawn overnight by a dozen mem- ;
hers of the democratic nutinuat
convention resolutions committee i
1 found roiiKh soltiK todny when pro-
senlcd to the f5 members charged i
j with reporting out' the Wit. party 1
; declarations. j
A number of planks which It had
been assumed would be accepted j
without discussion came in for de-
bate and chutiKes with a resultant
delay In the committee's report to
the convention which in no event i
could be m.uie until very late in ,
the day. '
The prohibition plnuk, declnrini; j
for enforcement of the eighteenth
amendment and all oilier laws,
caused prolonged debate. This up
set in the calculations of the s in tin I
supporters brought the fight over
this most controversial subject to
an argument before the whole com
mittee. HOUSTON, Texns, Juno 28.-r-(tf)
4:30 p. in.) The demo
cratls convention's plutfonn mulling
committee sent word this after
noon to Cbainuiin Robinson that it
would not be ready to present the
platform to the convention before
7:30 o'clock tonight.
The information wns that the
committee was virtually through
with its drafting of the document
bat that the mechanical process of
printing and binding wouiu require
considerable time.
embers of the committee said
the drafting sub-committee had
been sustained on virtually every
point by the full committee, hut
there were indications that Gov
ernor Dan .Moody of Texas would
file a minority report on the prohi
bition plank and endeavor to have
the convention adopt his proposal
for a bone-dry declaration In place
of the committee's proposed en
forcement stipulation.
League Is Forgotten
1 During t tie discussions of inter
national affairs, the committee was
asked to adopt a plank endorsing
the League of Nations and. the
world court, but, It was said, no
serious effort was made to include
these proposals nnd no planks to
this end were adopted.
Mr. Waybright announced also
that the iollowing speakers were
enlisted for the floor fight for 11
"bone dry" plank: Governor Dan
Moody, Senator Glass of Virginia,
Josephus Daniels of North Caro
lina, and Cone Johnson of Texas.
Any attempt to start bulloting for
the uominees before the platform is
adopted by the convention also
will be resisted.
Unanimous consent Is required
for such n course, it is believed,
and one state caunot prevent It.
While rumors spread about of such
a program, Chairman Kobinson de
clared be knew of no plan for this
procedure.
Uisliop Cannon, who believes he
represents the dry sentiment of the
country, said that If the platform
specifically mentioned enforcement
of the eighteenth amendment and
the constitution ft would be satis
factory to the prohibitionists.
"It is not necessary to specifi
cally mention prohibition." he add
ed. Ve did not make the repub
licans do it and since prohibition
already is a law its enforcement Is
all we want."
IIOrSTON, Texas, June 2S . fP) ;
Kdward Wayhrlcht of Flnrltta. j

today that unless the resolutions
