not foolish enough to predict a quick
victory for their man. They realize
that his chances depend upon a wear

that the further the convention goes,
the greater will be the Smith
strength. Having the convention here
at home gives them an added assur-
ance.
While other aspirants for the Demo-
cratic nomination have not been idle
during the week, the big Smith blow
off at Albany was the outstanding
feature within the party and the other
contestants have been officially mott
