"Governor Smith is the man to head the movement for this return to Jeffersonian principles.

Justice S. Wardell of San Frgneisco, Democratic candidate for governor last year, said in an interview at the Hotel Biltmore.

Mr. Wardell predicted that Governor Smith would get the unanimous support of not only the California delegation, but also of those from other Pacific coast and Rocky Mountain states. LAW ALLOWS PLEDGED DELEGATES Under the California election . laW delegates to a party national convex tlon are elected from the state at large and may be elected as pledged delegates, in which case the pledge Is binding until the delegates are released by the candidate for president A further provision of the law permits the running of unpledged candidates for delegates, but in that case a voter has to mark a cross opposite the name of each unpledged candidate, while he may vote for all twenty-si- x pledged candidates for delegates by making a crooa mark under the name of the presidential candidate to whom they are pledged. Unlike the laws in some other states, the California law does not require that the presidential candidate himself shall formally enter the primaries, but permits his name to be placed on the ballot by his supporters. This would relieve Governor Smith of the necessity of making formal announcement of his candidacy to get on. the California primary ballot Governor Smiths chance of getting a solid California delegation in 1928 is Increased by another provision of the California election law under which there will be a new registration and party enrollment after January 1, Mr. Wardell said. All registration and enrollment in California ' is automatically wiped out on December SI. Unlike most other states, California has no special registration days, but voters may register and enroll any time during the year, the only qualification being that a voter must register and enroll thirty days before an election to participate in it been actuated by the belief that they would be in a better position to make Democratic candidate can win. The sentiment for Governor Smith is growing tremendously. It is a tidal wave, it seems to me. Not only Democrats but Republicans are talking Smith. They are convinced that he would give He 1 everybody a square deal. formed attachments, personal and political, everywhere. Persons who have never seen him are strong for Smith. "There will be a solid delegation from California for him. I say that unreservedly. It was charged against me, when I ran for the Democratic nomination for governor .that I represented the Smith movement in the state. I won at the primaries. That would seem to have indicated the feeling among the Democratic voters of the state, but Governor Smith, as a candidate for president, would be immeasurably stronger than the vote for me as a candidate for governor would indicate. "This statement for Smith is not peculiar to California. I found it in every atate which I have visited in my travels, and there have been a number of them. I do not wish to prophesy, except for my own state, but I am certain that there will be Smith delegations at the Democratic national convention from many other1 Far Western states." a' fight for a Smith delegation than for an un ins trueted delegation, both because of the mechanical advantage of voting for a pledged delegation with one and because it was easier to win a political battle with a definite candidate than without one. The most outstanding political figure of a generation is Alfred E. 8mlth," said Mr. Wardell, in telling what he believed to be the reasons for the swift growth of sentiment for the governor in the Far West. I call him the Abraham Lincoln of the east side. "I think he understands the needs of the ordinary man and woman. He has risen step by step from a lowly position to the highest office in the gift of the people of the Empire State.

He is nearly as well known, at least by repute, in California as In New York. He probably is as well known as the president of the United States. No group can discuss politics In any way without mentioning the name of Governor Smithy I know of no man, except Lincoln, who has risen from humble beginnings to such distinction and prominence. He represents the common people. In my judgment he typifies true Jeffersonian Democracy, from which we have been drifting away. The central government has been usurping power, and invading the rights of the states, and bureaucracy has increased. We have drifted into a situation that is Hamiltonian in character.

But part of the sugar consumed in the United States is produced here, so Cuban restriction, with its increased prices, means higher prices for Senator Smoots beet sugar corporation friends, and although higher sugar prices street the American consumers Just as seriously as higher prices on rubber and coffee, neither President Coolldge nor Secretary Hoover, who is generally accredited with presidential ambitions, found It expedient to utter a syllable of protest against Cuba's action. Because of the peculiarly close relations between this government and Cuba, word from the White House or the com merce department would have had a marked effect on Cuban action, and might have saved American a hundred million dollars in the coat of her sugar bowl during the next year or so. But the administration that worked itself into a frensy because France threatened retaliation against the prohibitive rates in the tariff bill could not find it politically expedient to say a word in protest against Increased sugar prices. er W -- e SIIMVillV WIHbg SwIIIB liCTilgV erod by Mr. Jutice Butter, sustained every contention of tho government, and in branding this infamous net of the Republican administration, made free use id such characterisations aa collusion,' conspiracy, secrecy, etc. Similar characterisations were employed by the supreme court in its decision of last winter sustaining the Elk government In the Fall-Dohen- y Hlla case The supreme - ; courts decision restores to the government more thaw 9400,000,000 worth of oQ, Invaluable to the navy, the first line of national defense The history of the case la, of course, well known, nor haa It been Not only did none of the property. old Guard Republicans aid In the peoples fight, but many of them attempted to block tho investigations at every possible turn.

New Ford Car Will Make 60 Miles Per Diplomacy As a Lew Woman Plays It Automobile Rakish According to Reports. Smart-Lookin- g" DETROIT, Mich. The new Ford has at last made its bow to the public. Last Thursday. In the presence of Henry and Edsel Ford and other officials of the company, the first of the new type car was turned out of the assembly line at the Ford son plant of the oFrd Motor company. As soon as It was completed in every detail, it was taken to the office of the company in Dearborn, where it was placed on public exhibition alongside the fifteenth million model T, which was the last of the famous model to be manufactured. According to descriptions of the new Ford, it shows no resemblance whatsoever of the former model. It is reported to be "a smart looking" automobile, low and rakish, and is thoroughly up to the minute in appearance. It can make 60 miles an hour easily and 80 if pressed." (From the Outlook.) Last year Romania, needing money badly, sought loans in Europe, and met little but disappointment Then Queen Marie visited the United Ststes. if out somewhat humor kept her tour from being an entire success, she at least made no enemlea, and undoubtedly did leave' behind her many friends.

On her American trip Queen Marie become very fond of American cooking, and ever since her return home she has been discarding tha elaborate French and Rumanian dishes formerly set before Rumanian royalty in favor of American delicacies.
