AGAINST CHANGE
OF THE Date
Baltimore Convention Should
Not be Postponed, Says,
Senator Smith.

The suggestion made by Senator
Bacon, of Georgia. that because of com
plications arising in the Republican ranks
from the announcement of the Roose
welt candidacy the Democratic National
Convention to be held in Baltimore on
June % should be postponed 10 days or
two weeks. so as to take advantage of
the action of the Republican convention.
which begins in Chicago on June IS.
does not commend itself to Democratic
Senators and party leaders generally.
Senator John Walter Smith. expressed
himself strongly as believing postpone
ment would be mistake and stated his
conviction that it would not be done.
with the greatest respect for Sena-
tor Bacon, who is my friend. Senator
Smith said, 81 believe the adoption of
his suggestion would be unwise from
party standpoint and can see no neces-
sity for it from any standpoint. The
fact that Mr.. Roosevelt has announced
his candidacy for President and the
Republicans are splitting wide into
factions certainly presents no occasion
for concern upon the part of the Demo-
cratic party.
"My view is that the Democratic Con-
vention should proceed when it meets to
nominate for the Presidency and for the
Vice Presidency the strongest possible
candidate and should frame platform
that will commend itself to the whole
people of the country. think it should
do these things without regard to who is
nominated by the Republicans for Presi-
dent or the kind of platform upon which
he stands.
81 can see easily why the Roosevelt
candidacy should throw Republicans into
a panicky condition. but altogether fail
10 see why Democrats should do any
thing save rejoice over a situation that
vastly enhances our prospects for sue
cess in the November election.
PERSONALLY. ! am not committed to
any candidate for the Democratic nomi-
uallUN anu iil Ohif uSSHS 10 W 80 !"
man nominated who will lead US to VIC
tory. | have faith enough in the wisdom
of the coming Democratic convention to
believe that it will select such aman.
After the suggestion postponing the
convention was made number of
Democratic Senators talked with me
about it and none Of them saw the
slightest reason for change in the
date. am confident there will be no
change. :"
A dispatch to The Sun from New York
last night states that Chairman Norman
f. Mack. of the National Democratic
Committee. said that while he did not
desire to take issue with Senator Bacon
he saw absolutely no need for any
change of date at this time and had no
idea that the committee would take
such action.
