Coughlin Townsend and Smith threaten third party talk, but insiders view coalition as unlikely. Roosevelt supporters prepare to pass a pro Roosevelt platform with Wegner guiding platform drafting in Washington.

Levee System Favored Over Reservoir for St Francis River
Representative Orville Zimmermann predicts army engineers will choose a levee system to control floods in the St Francis River region of Missouri and Arkansas. He cites high flowage rights costs for a reservoir and argues local land damages, not rights of way, make a reservoir prohibitive. The Overton bill authorizes $16 million for Missouri and Arkansas, with local taxpayers covering land damages. Greenville would be affected as a potential reservoir site, while a levee plan avoids relocating the county seat. The St Francis overflows its banks annually, with three floods last year.
