answer that decisively until Election Day. In
case the unexpected should happen and James

ruins. because all the patronage would go to

even if the Sage of Washington Park doesn't
contribute penny. In fact Mr. Young would
probably just as soon have it that way.
Everybody however doesn't believe that Mr.
Smith has ceased to exist a potent factor IN
Democratic politics. One man who knows him
well, but is not particularly prejudiced in his
favor, said on the night of the State convention:
You mark my words. This beating will make
Smith a bigger and broader man than ever
Temporarily he goes under a cloud. but he is too
resourceful TO be kept long in the background
He will have time now to reflect on the foolish
ness of tying himself up TO lot Of parasites
and timeservers and repelling the friendship
of men Of character and standing who could and
would help him He will start in now to win
the support of the latter kind, and will come
up on top pretty soon.''
