Governor Smith, of New York, is
now a candidate for the Democratic
nomination in 1928. He intimated
it aemi-humorously in a recant ad-
dress. His followers in New York
City announced it vociferously at

Other Democrats that would like
the 1928 Democratic Presidential
nomination will find in Governor
Smith an opponent that under-

Dispatches from Boston describe
triple judicial killing in Charles-

Edward H. Heinlein was first to
go As he walkeii to the etoctric
eliair, repeating the words of a
prayer by the Reverend Father
Michael 3. Murphy, great crowds
gathered outside, automobile horns
were booming, photographers’
flashlights lighted up the crowd.
And at the rear exit from the pri-
son another crowd was waiting to
sec the three bodies carried out. A
•pedal police force was obliged to
fight the deeply interested crowd.
Crowds that howled around the
French guillotine, or that tilted up
their gin bottles as they shouted
encouragement to murderers on the
Wrltlsh gallows, were not entirely
different from human beings of to-
day.
Authorities in Braunschweig
province learn that when religion

Braunschweig has been obliged to
employ additional clerks to register

Since 1922 when the Del Kio
route was made the primary high-
way and the Hill Country route
a secondary road the O. S. T. head
quarters have waged a f battle to
draw national travel through the
hills and build up this section for
the good of Texas. Harral Ayers
who is a widely traveled man, re-
alized the attraction of the Hill
Country while highway officials
were still trying to build the Del
Kio route primarily. Since 192:1
lie has led constantly in the **f-
fort to widen the road from San
Antonio to lloc-rne and mak-- it a
