Miss Smith Would Give LaFollette [Smith Vote Great ‘Smith Family’ Asked to ‘Cut Loose’ From Democrats and Republicans By HARRY B. HUNT WASHINGTON, Aug 20.—Since Al Smith failed of the Democratic nomination, where will the Smith vote go in the coming election? Not the “Smith vote” as mean ing the poitical following cf the popular Empire State governor, but the “Smith vote” as meaning the great family of Smiths, Father and Mother Smith and the older Smith sons and daughters, whose tota might add a million or so to the score of the lucky candidate. So far as the persuasive powers of Miss Ethel Smith of Washing ton can prevail, the Smith family vote will cut loose from the old ties that have bound it to the Re publicans and Democrats and ally itself with the Independent candi dacy of Bob La Follette. The Smiths, according to Miss Smith, are fundamentalists. The name itself is elemental, or funda mental. And the La Follette program, t>h e says, deals with fundamentals. The Smiths, also, are the most human or humans. And— “ The La Follette dictrines deal with the needs of humanity, tho individual needs of men and wo men, rather than the needs of busi ness and commerce,” she declares Os cours Miss Smith isn’t re stricting herself to th e conversion of Smiths in her labors for the La Follette ticket. Whether one’s name is Smith or no—it may be Jones or Brown or Davis or Kabot schnik—she invites them all into the La Follette camp. As a worker for many years in the field of women’s activities par ticularly the field of working wo men, Miss Smith has proved her jeeeeee relf. ta|e7B9os... self an aggressive and efficiei t campaigner. She knows politics, too, having been for several years head of the legislative activities of the National Women’s Trade Union League. She is a member of the National Committee of the Conference for Progressive Political Action, under the auspices of which the Cleveland convention, which nominated I.e Follette, was was held. r . aC e ticai ’ efficie nt, persuasive Ethel Smith will prov e a real fac tor in preesnting the La Follette cause to the country, whether it be the Smiths or those of Jess favored Mr. and Mrs. C.

Among the great number of wo men working in the various nation al associations and organizations which have their headquarters at the capital, sone has in greater degree than she that mystical yet forceful quality of “personality.” A woman approaching middle age, she combines the charm and enthusiasm of a young girl with the analytical find and mature judgment of an elderly woman. When she goes on the stump later in the fall, as she now plans to do, the Smith family will have a representative in the campaign of which whom it may well be proud. Even C. Bascomb Slemp, secre tary to the president, hasn’t been able to keep <cool—with no, we’ll not say it that way again—with the president during the torrid days that gripped th e White House just in advance of the official notifica tion/ of the Coolidge nomination. Bascom has moved out to the Chevy Chase Club. The tempera true at the club, it is reported, is several degrees cooler than it was at the time Senator Joe Robinson staged his historic battle with Dr. James Mitchell, as a result 1 of which he was dropped from mem bership and barred from the links. In fact, by comparison with the heat generated at that time, the club is now considered the coolest place in Washington. And, with Robinson gone, it’s a much more pleasant place for Slemp.

PAGES BIG ELK RULES > PARK BUFF ALOES SAN FRANCISCO, August 20 A lordly bull elk rules a heard of buffaloes in a paddock at Golden Gate park here. And the is not re quired to use force to execute his orders, but merely indicates what, he wants done and its done, says F E. Slattery, for 31 years a custodian of animals in the park. There usually are from 15 to 20 bison in the enclosure where the elk resides. Combat in the paddock evi dently is distasteful to him, for he frequently separates two belligerent buffalo bulls, shooing them aside in different directions. Furthermore he watches over the habits of the buffaloes. When he deems that they have lolled in recumbent po.Z tures too iong and should be up and grazing, he goes in among them, touching them lightly with his antlers until they rise and shamble away. Slattery declares he never has seen the elk’s authority disput ed. Wetter Bleach Nadinola Bleaching Cream van ishes tan, sallowness, freckles and other discolorations.
