XbOABTHT AND EWING CHOSEN TO HEAD MITTEE THAT WILL HAVE UTAH CAMPAIGN COM- SENATOR CURTIS AE committee Saturday's executive meeting was called by Fred W. Johnson of Rock Springs, .Wyo., who was appointed chairman of the committee at a convention held In Ogden. September II and 14. The executive committee Is in charge of the Smith campaign plans for Utah, Wyoming, Colo- rado, Montana, Idaho, South Dakota, Arlsona, Nevada and New Mexico, and will appoint subcommittees In each to direct the campaigns In their respec- tive states. "There Is a rapidly growing sentiment In favor of Governor Smith as the Democratic nominee for the next presidential election, Chairman Johnson said In an address before the executive members. "Early canvasses and observation In nearly all of the states under our Jurisdiction Intimate such strong backing that, at this time, It appears almost certain that the New York governor will compete for the presidency In 1928. M5 pro-Smit- h SMITH IS FAVORITE. "Many of the members of this com- mittee have recently returned from trips to various parts of the country, and their reports, too, Indicate that Governor Smith Is the favorite, by a huge majority, to represent the Democratic party In the forthcoming election. It Is needless to say that New York state will favor him tremendously over any candidate, regardless of . party. Following Mr Johnson's talk, representatives from other states told of Governor Smith's chances In their respective districts, and all were of the opinion that their candidate would carry the Democratic nomination almost unanimously. "After a tour' lasting nearly two months, and which took me through the middle west, east and south, State Senator Andrew Bettwy of Nogales Arts, said I have found that the reports of prevailing sentiment in the south are nothing more than rumors founded on Republican propaganda. The Republicans realise that Governor Smith would be the strongest contender that the Democratic party, could place in the field, and that his chances to gain the presidency would be as great. If not great er, than any candidate they could muster. "They would be only too glad, he continued, "to see the most formidable Democratic contender for presidential honors placed In the 0is card by his own party. It would relieve them of considerable anxiety regarding the chances of their own nominee at the finals, but the Democratic party assuredly will not make such a mistake. I am confident now that Governor Ai Smith will be the next Democratic candidate for the presidency of the United States. Samuel A. King, who was one of the last members of the executive committee to speak, said: In Utah, although there has been comparatively little discussion regarding the coming presidential election. 1 have heard some expressions of sentiment in favor of Governor Smith, but anl. Smith sentiment seems decidedly lacking. Smith sentiment Is steadily Increasing here and I believe that, with the aM of the capable organization committee which was selected here this afternoon, the state will send Its Democratic delegates to the national convention prepared to swing their votes to the governor of New antl-Smlt- York.

I bave stolen into your room alone. Just a few minutes ago, aa 1 sat reading my paper In the libary, a hot, stifling wave of remorse swept over me. I could not resist It. Guiltily 1 came to your bedside. "These are the things I was thinking, son: I had been croes to you. I scolded you as you were dressing for school decause you gave your face merely a dab with the towel. I took you to task for not cleaning your shoea I called out angrily when I found you had thrown some of your things ou the floor. " At breakfast I found fault, too. you spilled things. .Yon gulped down your food. Yon put your elbows on the table. You spread butter too thick on your bread. And as yon started off to play and I made for my train, you turned and waved a little hand and called. Good-byDaddy!' and.l frowned, and said in reply, Hold your shoulders back.' "Then It began all over again In the late afternoon. Aa I came up the hill road I spied you, down on your knees playing marbles. Thdre were holes in your stockings. I humiliated yon before your boy friends by making you march ahead of me back to the bouse. Stockings were expensive and If you had to buy then yon would be more careful! Imagine that, aon, from a father! It was such stulpld, silly logic. "Do you remember, later, when I was reading In the library, how yon came in, softly, timidly, with a sort of a hurt, haunted look In your eyes! when 1 glanced up over my paper, at the Interruption, yon hesitated at the door.

"Yon said nothing, bnt ran across In one tempestuous plunge, and threw your arms around my neck and kissed me, again and again, and your amall arms tlghened with an affection that God set blooming in your heart and which even neglect should not wither and then you were gone, pattering up the atalrs. "Well, aon. It was shortly afterwards that my paper slipped from my hands and a terrible sickening fear came over me. Suddenly I saw myself as I really was, in all my horrible selfishness, and I felt aick at heart. "What bad It been doing to me? The habit of complaining, of finding fault, or reprimanding all of these were my rewards to you for being a boy. It waa not that I did not love you; It was that I expected so much or youth. It waa measuring you by the yardstick of my own years. "And there was so much that was good, and fine and true in your character. You did not deserve my treatment of you, ao.

I must burn sacrificial fires, alone, here in your bedroom, and pray to God to strengthen me In my new resolve. Tomorrow I will be a real dady! I will chum with you, and suffer when yon suffer and laugh when you laugh.

The president, in repudiating the recommendations for n revision of the tariff, made by the Business Mens commission of which Charles Nagel, Republican secretary of commerce of labor in the cabinet of President Taft, spoke the language and philosophy of the manufacturers of the East who dominate and finance tho Republican party, declares Representative Cordell Hull, member sf the house ways and means committee and former chairman of the Democratic national committee.

And suddenly he reveals himself, ae a man who not only would like to be president but who really thinks he may be president. tariff-protect- It la as If some woman whom you profit By hls repudiation of the recommendation of tho Business Men's commission, the president has placed himself in a rather embarrassing situation. This commission waa appointed by the United States chamber of commerce and the National Industrial conference to study tbe farm problem, and former Republican Secretary Nagel waa placed at Its head. It waa supposed that when Its report came out It would contain recommendations for the solution of the farm problem which business and financial interests would certainly approve. Indeed, a sort of statue for the commission waa suggested by frequent references at the White House to tbe study-thicommission waa making and there were Intimations from that quarter that tbe commission's report would point a way to a solution of the distressing farm problem which the president would approve. When the report appeared, oae of Its major recommendations waa "to equalize as between agriculture and manufacturing. Industry inch benefits aa the existing protective tariff system can afford to both with the further recommendation that protective policies which tend to place artificial obstacles In the way of natural and normal extension of markets for American farm products and which tend to increase the domestic coat of their production should be subjected to careful reconsideration with a view to equalising their effects. The farmers have been demanding tariff revision as a means of solving the agricultural problem, because they sell In tbe open markets, but must buy In highly protected markets, thus getting lower prices for their products, but paying Increased production costa. At their St Paul conference last summer, tariff revision was one of tbeir major planks, and they declared for protection for all or protection for none." When the great business interests of the country, through tbe Nagel commission, joined In recommending tariff revision, aa the farm-erurged, naturally It waa assumed a common ground had been found on which tbe farming, commercial and manufacturing Interests could stand for tbe common good. But promptly, the president repudiated tbe plan. To him, an apostle of prohibitive tariffs, such a recommendation, especially made through a prominent RepubliThus It appears, can, was heresy. tariff revision will be forced Into the 1928 campaign as one of tbe paramount Issues In repudiating the Nagel report. Representative Hull said the president "unquestionably was not speaking for or from the standpoint of agriculture, because almost every Intelligent person agrees that agriculture surfers enormously greater losses than It delves benefits from tariffs, and that the present Fordney system has constituted the chief factor in tbe level of most farm products and the higher price level of commodities the farmer must purchase.

But Charlie Curtis is one of the last great men In Washington. There Is even a certain humility about him. He never speaks as If he thought the entire nation were listening. There Is never n note of authority. The tonq Is always one of conciliation, of persuasion the golden mean of practicality. You almost resent It when he discloses an ambition to be president A PERFECT PARODY that really . Charlie Curtis takes himself seriously as a candidate for president It Is comedy to perceive the antics of Senator Frank B. Wills of Ohio posturing before the mirror of national approval. Mr. Willis la all that Mr. Curtis is not and nothing that Mr. Curtis la. Nature gave Mr. Curtis many of the qualities that a president usually has but left him without the imposing manner.

He rouses and disappoints so many expectations. Nature seemed to stipulate for so much when It built him and didn't get it. And yet dont think be doesnt tske hls candidacy for president seriously. He comes from Ohio, which has furnished so many presidents to tbe country. Ohio admires him so why not the world? He goes down In hls Jeans for several hundred dollars to make a trip down the lately flooded Mississippi, to view the great works of Muscle Shoals, and Incidentally to let the South see one of the most candidates for president It will ever set eyes on. And if that is not behaving like an Irresistible vote getter, what is? And what do Senator William E. Borahs recent activities mean except that he too regards himself with some seriousness as a candidate for president In 1928? It Is Impossible, of course, for Mr. Borah to take himself presidential quite so seriously as possibility as Mr. Curtis and Mr. Willis take themselves. He naa been a possibility ao long and baa been ao often disappointed tbat there must be some skepticism about hls hope, the skepticism that one who has been in love often must have over a new love affair. Mr. Curtis is a candidate for the first time, and a first candidacy, like a first love, goes hard with one. Mr. Willis Is a born candidate for president. Nothing will ever shake hls sublime assurance of his own Irresistibility. But, anyway, here Is Mr. Borah, who could not be dragged Into a conference with a team of tractors, who always enjoyed a splendid Isolation, attending dally conferences and organizing a bloc of hls own.
