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.
