Opposing candidates for the nomination had anticipated the "ungraceful act" by promising to support whatever ticket was chosen. Josephus Daniels, Governor Dan Moody of Texas, Governor L. G. Hardman of Georgia and many another solved the problem by saying, simply: "I am a Democrat." Thomas Pryor Gore, the blind, facetious, onetime-Senator from Oklahoma who seconded Reed at Houston, frankly switched to Smith. Even bitter little Senator Simmons of North Carolina turned the other cheek, last week. It was a silent gesture. He did not promise to work actively for Smith. But he pointed to his Democratic record, held...
...unmitigated contempt for Publisher Hearst ever since the latter's newspapers mendaciously blamed Smith for a bad milk situation in Manhattan. In 1922, Smith refused to lead his State ticket until Hearst was withdrawn as candidate for the U. S. Senate. In 1926, when Hearst supported Ogden L.

The captain of the Argentine team is Jack Nelson, rich breeder of ponies, horses, cattle. Then there is Lewis L. Lacey, a ten-handicap player, blue-eyed, slight of frame, five and a half feet tall, one of the grandest poloists in the world. He made famous the hit in midair, and it became known as a "Lacey." His appearance in the U. S. in 1926 was a sensation...
Zionists. In Pittsburgh last week met the embattled Women's Zionist Organization of America, the Hadassah. Mrs. Zip Szold, Honorary Secretary, read a report commending the policy of President Irma L. Lindheim, who had criticized the head of the Zionist Organization of America, Louis Lipsky (see col. 2). Soon afterward, Hadassah re-elected Mrs. Lindheim president...
