The Pioneer Athletic Club of this
city has a. $500'bet with Joe that
he can’t make the round trip in
one week: in other words, in order
to collect the bet. Joe must ' get
back to Roseto by eleven o'clock
Easter Sunday morning. Judging
by the speed he showed in hiking
up here. Joe has every chance to
win the bet. If those figures are
right Joe has plugged over a bunch

"I am not allowed to sleep on a

experience as a. public speaker and
his sound and inspiring address drew
frequent applause.
In his short opening remarks. May

Stamford, and Stated that it was
..time for the Chamber of Commerce
to go ahead and take its rightful
place in the city.
R. A. ’Crisby. Secretary of the
Bridgeport Chamber, stated that he
believed it was the duty of the
Chamber to give the people things
they can’t quite see themselves.
"The modern Chamber pf Com-
merce." he said. “is a. vision for the
future. The aims of n. Chamber are
first. an investigation of living; sec-
ond to experiment and to demon-
strate the value of new things which
will bring to the city the greatest
benefit; third. the education of the
public; and fourth. to coordinate all
the elements in the city to work for
the good of the city. As you go on
in your cxpansion‘ campaign you
will have a greater realization of
what the Chamber can be.
“The Chamber of Commerce
should be a. sort of front door to
our city." said President Robert
\Vhittaker. “It should be a. place
where a stranger receives his first
welcome and his first information.
and it should be a. bureau of in-
formation for the people of the
tOWn. It should be a clearing
house for community. enterprise.
The Chamber. I think. should co-
operate. co—ordinate and plan. It
aims first of all to be an organiza-
tion for service.

ALBANY. April 17.—Whlle seek-
ing the nomination Gov. Smith has
been placed in the race for the
Presidency by th Democratic party '
of his State. Wit out declaring his 3
views on national subjects and with- »
out antagonizing any State. 'any' po—
litical faction or any candidate. New
York's favorite son openly enters the
contest yesterday as still a possible
compromise candidate.
The Governor and his political
managers in control of the party in
this State are credited with having
played adroit politics in their con-
duct of the State convention which
yesterday. in effect, pledged the
ninety delegates from New York to
his support in the national conven—
tion to be held in June.
The nation now knows that the
'Govcrnor of New York is available,
and yet the Governor is in the posi-
tion of having the nomination suck
him. although avowcdly in the race.
Talking frankly to the delegates in
homely fashion, the Go'vernor said
he had not the time nor money to;
go out after the nomination. but
adding "that the man who would
not have an ambition for that of-
fice. (the Presidency) would have
a heart of stone." '
Smith Strategy Unfolds
The strategy of the Smith cam-
paign is now unfolded more plainly.
Ei'he evident purpose is for the Gov-
ernor to go into the convention with-
out haxing made any enemies in the
fight for delegates and possibly with
a. frozen block of delegates strong
enough to act as a mm on any other
candidate. Then his managers Will
trust lo the opportunity for live
tiovrruur selling his personality to
the national (omemion. It will be
comparatively easy for the Gchr-
nor is) get into the convention at
any moment if the ocrasion is pre-
sented for him to appear. for he can
be substituted as a delegate in place.
of an absent delegate.
Tammany and the up-SJatc De-
mocracy know exactly where they
stand and will begin today to name
the light which lhry hope will put
New York‘s favorite son in the
“‘hitc House.
As an amazing: political achieve—
ment. it is doubled if Governor
Smith. in his twenty years in poli-
tics in this State. evcr'managcd u
diflicult situation with greater skill
than he did his announcement yes-
terdny of his candidacy and his wil-
lingnc‘ss to aceept the nomination.
For slicer ability. it. was a master
stroke.
The Governor began to speak.
For half an hour he discussed the
record of the Legislature. It was
not an inspiring speech. The dclc-
gates had expected something more.
They were primed for a. declaration
of principles on national politics.
They wanted an oratorical outburst
which would sweep them off their
feet and tear the convention loose.
and they did not got it. Occasion-
ally there “us faint applause as the
Governor made a. thrust atlho Ro-
publlcan conduct of tho Assembly.
The convention was fast approach-
ing an anti-climax. Delegates \vqre
whispering that the Smith boom
was failing flat.
Brings Smiles and Tears.
Then came the change. The Gov-
ernor laid down his horn bow glas-
ses. In natural conversational tone
as it tho confintion were a family
party gathered around the fireside
he talked about the Presidency and
his candidacy. Throwing aside all
pretense. Without in. single oratorlai
flourish and in characteristic Al
Smith fashion. which has won for
him friends by the millions. he told
the delegates just what 11's thought
about the whole thing.
