Hoover Unopposed
While all three Democratic can-
didates were on the same footing,.
Hoover was unopposed in. the Re-
publican voting.
Former Senator Phelan. wiio
nominated McAdoo four years ago. |
headed the Smith delegate slate and
Isadora Dockweiler. Democratic Na, <
tlonal committeeman from Califor-
nia, also was lined up for him.
In 1924. the Democratic delega-
tion from the coast state stuck to
McAdoo for 99 balkits. On the Idlst
Smith got one. on the next the
whole delegation iwun* to Walsh
and on the 103rd it went over to
John W. Davis.
In bagging California's 28 con-
vention votes. Smith brought his
claimed delegates total up to 494. or
239 1-2 short of the two-thirds nec-
essary to nominate. His claims to 70
however, are disputed.
The piloting brought the total
DemocrRlc delegatev selected thus
far to 870. or .83 '-2 teas than t1'-
tow-thirds majority, and leaves 430
to be chosen, urujti Virginia’s con-

SAN ANGELO. May 2 -<Sp.l-
After making their -first inspection
of properties 'owned by their com-
pany in this section. R. C. Sharp,
president of the Natural Gas Cor-
poration of Tulsa and San Angelo,
and R. W Hendee. vice-president in
charge of field operations, expressed
elation over industrial and business
developments being made in this
.territory and Mr Sharp gave as-
surance that any spectacular growth
made by San Angelo, even to the
extent of becoming a city of 75,000
to 100.000 pec pie within a few
years, will be accompanied by de-
velopment of the natural gas busi-
ness to meet any existing needs.
I Confidence that no shortage of
gas will be experienced for many,
many years into the future was ex-
pressed by Mr. Sharp- who stated,
that though his company owns or
has contracted for some 200.000
acres of potential gas lands, they
prefer buying gas from other pro
dneers. "Moat gas is developed by
men prospecting for oil and this
would be wasted if there was no
market for it. We can buy it
cheaper than by developing our
own properties, and thus are enabled
to serve our patrons more economi-
cally, and at the same time con-
serve our own gas properties against
future need." Mr. Sharp said.
