sible by the white race ' and stressed

Two numbers of the evening's pro-
gram that brought conside:able ap-
preciable applause and pleased the
lovers of two different classes of mu-
sic were the Ukelele girl and the
boys' qurtet both of which rendered
two numbers The foilner group
was composed of four girls playing
their sting instruments and six oth-
ers singing The renditions from the
boys' quartet who were appearing
for the first time in public brought
considerable comment from the hear-
ers The negro spirituals and solos
were no less apprcciated
Mrs B M Elsberry was the re-
cipient of loud applause following her
readings a3 also did Organ Huds-
peth a student

Dry Forces Gain Control Ot Texas
Democratic Convention Delegates

Platform To Be Adopted at
Houston Moody Gains
I Leadership
DALLAS Texas May 9— llY) —
Two factions of dry democrats will
control the state democratic conven-
tion at Beaumont May 22 making it
apparent that Texas forty votes to
the Houston national democratic con-
vention next month will be cast
vgainst Governor Al 'Smith of New
York and any other wet prcsidential
aspirants
Returns tabulated today from yes-
terday's county conventions indicated
'that a majority of the 818 delegates
to the state convent:on had either
been insructed to support a dry plank
in the party platform or to oppose
all wet candidates
The returns also indicated that Dan
Moody youthful red haired governor
of Texas has established himself as
leader of his party Moody seeks the
chairmanship of the states delegation
to the national convention
The governor's harmony faiition
which had asked the conventions to
instruct delegates for a dry plank
and a dry candidate was opposed by
Thomas B Love former national
committeeman love's ultra dry fac-
tion sought instructions for a dry
plank and asked instructions against
all wet candidates by name
Success of harmony faction was in-
terpreted by observers today as leav-
ing the way open for the Texas dele-
gation in the national convention to
vote for Smith should the New Yolk
governor appear to have the ncinina-
tion in his grasp after the first few
ballots However the ultra dry fazi-
tion will control sufficient delegates
to wage a determined fight for con-
trol of the state convention Should
they succeed in gaining control of the
state convention it is reasonable to
expect they will instruct the delega-
tion to the national convention
ageing all wet presidential candidates
