Knives Of the Night.

A man strolling carelessly through
the woods would be surprised to know
how many eyes are on him. how many
creatures scrooch In the covers and

the sure states of the populous east
where Al Smith is popular.
Turning now to the McAdoo camp,
one finds that the managers are ap-
plying two ideas-the vote as cast
in the 1916 election IL La Toilette does
not run on third-party ticket, and
the vote as cast in the 1912 election
If La Toilette splits the Republican
vote by running an Independent
Republican. With La Toilette in the
field, the McAdoo managers would
count on their Efavorite carrying
states like Michigan, Indiana, West
Virginia. Illinois, Oregon, in addition
to many western states.
Il believe, said Thomas b. Love.
the Texas leader. that McAdoo would
carry all the states Wilson did in
1912 and that La Toilette would carry
the Roosevelt states of that year.
Daniel c. Roper of South Caro-
lima, another ardent McAdoo man, be-
lieves that If La Toilette does not
run. the McAdoo vote in the electoral
college would be the Wilson vote OF
1916 plus Minnesota, Michigan, lndi-
ana, Illinois, West Virginia and South
Dakota.
There is no question as the conven-
tion assemblies that McAdoo and Smith
lead the field and that the other dozen
candidates are hoping for a deadlock
so that one of their number may De
nominated.
The first of the dark horses" is
John w. Davis of West Virginia. for
mer ambassador to Great Britain, VINO
appears to be almost as strong in the
ranks of the Smith delegates as he Is
among the McAdoo supporters. He
has more second choice votes now
than any other man in the conVen-
ton. The managers of McAdoo ana
Smith are aware of this, and are. Of
course, fighting vigorously against
the idea THAI any one else should De
named but their respective faVoriteS.
Nevertheless the boom for Davis
grows daily.

The fight about the ku klux Khan
seems to center on whether that or
ganization should be named and spe-
officially denounced or whether the
declaration should cover all organiza-
tions given to taking the law unto
their own hands. AS for prohlbitlon

and beer plank to the Democratic ma
tional convention in San Francisco

spokesman 1t might be revived here.
On the league of nations, there are
two schools of thought-those who
want an uneQuivocal declaration ana
those who think whatever is SAID
should be qualified by the general OBJ
servation that nothing would be done
to limit the sovereignty or interfere
with the independence of the United
States.

RELY ON SOLID SOUTH
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

NEW YORK, June 21.-Every con-
Vention has in the back of it's mind
one thing-how can the prospective
candidate win if he is nominated?
Each of the TWO leading candidates
for the Democratic nomination-Wil-
Smith-depends on two opposite for
mulas for getting enough votes in
the electoral college 1t is the
strength or weakness of McAdoo or
Smith, according as you view their
chances. But mingling with the del
egates, even at this early stage of
the game, one encounters the state
ment on the part of the AL Smith
managers that he would win by a
combination of eastern states plus
the solid south. The McAdoo man.

formula, depending on whether SER.

Leader Brennan of Illinois persists
in his demand that the platform shall
denounce the Klan by name spe-
cifically; and cannot be budged from

southern and western leaders that 1t
would be political suicide for the
party to do SO.
