As the time for the Democratic con vention approaches there is ' a verj' much stronger concentration of fsenti- rnent in the party .against the claims of all but three of the men who have been mentioned as possible presiden- fial candidates. It is not unfaic to Governor Roo.sevelt to say that he is less popular among the leaders of his party than almost any other man w'ho i lands a chance of nomination, yet at the same time he still is the leading Candidate, with the chances better than even that he wall be nominated. By the same token, party leaders, so far as sentiment can be gauged in W'a.shington, have a more sincere and genuine admiration for Alfred E. Smith than for any other man which the presidential lightning may postib- ly strike, and if those Roosevelt-in structed delegates could all be sent home and the nomination left to the Democratic senators and memlicrs of congress, Smith would almoit certain ly be the nominee. He came so clo.se to winning in 1928 that there is a very large element in the party w'hich would like to see the issue drawn again betw<*en Smith and Hoover, in the belief that Smith has grown in the popular estimation and that Hoover has Ix^en the victim of such a ?«*riou.'^ setback, whether his fault or not, that Mr. Smith would have a walkover. It seems very questionable, however, that he .could be nominated, as it seems more and more question able that anyone except Governor Koo.sevelt • can be named when the Democrat.' meet. If RooFevelt can be beaten the feel ing here is that Newton 1). Baker is the most likely dark hor.*«e. He has the tom[>lete respect and confidence of all of the party leaclers and it is believe 1 he ckn be built up in the popular mind into an extremely .ap]H‘aling candi date. W''hether he is'T^M*r.sonally nominated for president again or not, there is no doubt that Governor .Smith will have a great deal to do with shaping the j)arty platform, and if he has his way there w'ill be very little side-stepping an:l pus.'y-footing about it. Mr. Smith ha.s a w'ay of telling the world where he .stands, and he is Irkcly-tm iTrstst that hi.s party take the same attitude. State of 'jouth Carolina,, County of I.AUfens. t). E.
