primaries. he will be up against a
different proposition in the general
elections should the democrats sue
coed in their efforts to prevail upon
Gov. Alfred E Smith to take the
democratic nomination for United
States senator. Gov. Smith Is in SYM
pathy with the wet cause and also a
lifelong supporter Of legislation bene-
1cial to women.
However. it is understood Gov.
Smith has told his friends he does not
want the nomination. 1t is also COM
mon gossip that the governor is not
overenthusiastic about seeking re-
election as state executive but that
his chief aim is to become mayor of
the city Of New York. While this may
seem somewhat retrograde and the
inverse route in politics. the fact of
the matter is that ew York is to Gov.
Smith what Mecca is to the Moham-
medan-that Gov. Smith is Of New
York. for New York and only really
contented when in New York. With
Gov Smith out Of the running it is
not believed the democrats would

make a showing against Senator
Wadsworth should he. as is expected,
receive the nomination to run for re-
election. H. j. ADAMSON.

BULL MOOSE ELEMENT

LOUISVILLE, KY. December (Spe-
cia).-While little is being said about
republican presidential aspirants in
Kentucky at this time. party leaders
rather discouraging introduction of the
subject, it is certain to become a live
topic before long. The old bull moose
element will cut big figure and their
natural tendency is toward the candi-
dacy Of Gen. Leonard Wood. Senator
Harding Of Ohio long has been popu-
lar with Kentucky republicans and
William H. Taft has many friends
who need but the word to line up
behind him Under the party rules
. each congressional district chooses
delegates direct to the national. con-
vention, which readily admits of a
split delegation.
When National Committeeman y. T.
Hert attends the coming meeting Of
the republican national committee in
Washington he will be in a position
to turn the tables on his colleagues
who chided him lot about the bad
guess he made on the result in Ken
lucky in the Wilson Hughes race,
which was under his personal direc-
ton in the west. Mr.. Hert has not
only retrieved his position SO far as
Kentucky Is concerned. but mas added
some for good measure.

~ HE presidential nomination in either
party will no. fall ripe plum in

publican and democratic c. ndidates will
be selected by the resi- ectiv6 couven-
tions and il seems hardly likely, from present

vention with pledges from controlling number

That such is likely be the is forecast
by the certainty that in both parties a number
of states will have "favorite sons" their dele
cations instructed for them In other states
denIocrats showing tendency to instruct
for President Wilson. thus leaving the delega-
ton free to express choice after reachin3 the
convention. There many prospective
publican candidates, possibilities" that a
pre-conventon decision in favor of any man Is
hardly probable.
Such "free-for-all" contest will be well
coined. it is declared by most of the candi-
dates, although distasteful doubt to would-be
bosses and expectant Presdent-nakers How
ever, if some candidate should be able to
round up commanding bunch of delegates, ex-
perience has shown that the nomination is not
thereby clinched Witness the Baltimore con-
vention. when Champ Clark went in with a
majority, but was never able to get the two
thirds necessary to nominate in a democratic
convention, and finally his majority dwindled
and disappeared.
Twenty-one states now have election laws
that provide. in one way another, for choos-
ing delegates to national conventions by popular
vote This custom has lessened the power
hitherto held by the party bosses.

This selection Of delegates by popular vote
will serve to weaken the unit rule" which has
prevailed in democratic conventions in the past;
that is. the casting of the entire vote Of the
state delegation for the candidate who is favored
by majority of the delegation. 1t has been
trouble breeder more than once. In the twen-
ty-one states where popular vote for delegates
to conventions obtains if several districts send
delegates pledged to different candidates, it will
not be possible to apply the unit rule.
There is renewed agitation for repeating the
rule of democratic conventions requiring two
thirds to nominate a presidential ticket. The
question discussed informally at the recent
meeting of democratic national committeeman
in Atlantic City, and it is stated will be brought
up again at the meeting of the national COM
mittee in Washington January next. National
Committeeman A. F. Mullen of Nebraska, also
member of the executive committee, Is the
principal prepayment of the change. It is said
to be the opinion of the leaders, however, that
