tion among the politicians as to
will have upon Gov. Smiths presi-
Dental boom. He is said to have
brought himself to the belief that
it might be possible to nominate
Gov. Smith. This opinion was not
shared by other Democratic lead
ers of prominence. Such men as
Taggart of Indiana and Brennan of
Illinois did not hold with it.

The death of Mr.. Murphy will
weaken the combination which
existed among Murphy, Brennan
and Taggart, the object of which
was not, on the part of the latter
two at least, to pick candidate
to prevent Mr.. McAdoo getting
the nomination. After they had
eliminated Mr.. ~McAdoo they were
then to have decided if they could
agree on a candidate. Mr.. Taggart
would have tried to win Mr. Muir
ply over to Senator Ralston, and
Mr.. Murphy would have used his
endeavor to induce Mr.. Taggart
to accept Gov. Smith.
Now, the two westerners will
have to carry on by themselves
unless the new Tammany leader
to be chosen can be brought into
the anti-McAdoo alliance. There
would seem to be an advantage

Republican leaders were per-
turbed over the speech of Senator
Johnson, in closing his speaking
campaign in Cleveland, in which
he sought to link up President
Coolidge with responsibility for
the speeches of Leslie NJ Shaw,
who, Senator Johnson charged,
is in away defending former Sec
retary Albert b. Fall. Senator
johnson reiterated his intention
to smash what he calls the ''un-
holy alliance" between big busi-
ness and crooked politics.
For the first time in his cam
paign, Senator Johnson hinted
changed he would sever all ties
Of allegiance with the RepubH-
can party.
This was construed to intimate
that the senator may yet bolt the
party, and in that event would
leave slur upon the administra-
ton and the party in his charge
of the existence of such 4 combi-
nation.

Senator Johnson, while giving
up his speaking tour, on account
of his health, has not withdrawn
from the contest by any means.
He will keep up his organization
in those states which have not
yet chosen delegates to the ma

statements from time to time.

over what he might say, and the
way he would say il.
However, they comfort them
selves with the thought that If
he carries his attacks too far he
will cause 4 reaction, for it is said
that reports to the leaders show
that in a large measure the Sena.-
tors criticisms are already dis
counted.
