BATTLE
Democrats Here See Fierce
Fight For Leadership
Under Roosevelt.
By GEORGE r. HOLMES,
International News Service.

The Democratic National Conven-
ton which meets in New York eight
weeks hence is due for a protracted
period of deadlock and intensive,
bitter struggle such as has been
witnessed at few If any Democ.
racy's hectic conventions in the
past.
This was the wen.nigh unani-
nous opinion prevailing in high
Democratic quarters in the capital
today, as a result of the develop
ments that have crystallized with
amazing rapidity since the sudden
and dramatic death a week ago of
Charles F. Murphy, leader Of Tam
many Hall, and one Of the most
powerful single individuals in the
party.
Two weeks ago Democratic leaders
were merely fearful they were in
for rough time at Madison Square
Garden. Now they are sure of 1t.
Smith Taken Seriously.
For the first time since the whis-
pers Of Gov. Al Smiths candidacy
began to be heard, Democratic lead
ers of all factions were disposed
today to take 1t with real serious
ness.
The formation Of a Smith or
ganization, headed by Franklin
ID. Roosevelt, q Wilson Democrat, !"
and one Of the few men who ever
fought Murphy and got away with
1t, provided the complacent Demo-
Gratis Of other factions with a real
shock today.
Heretofore, the McAdoo men, the
Underwood men, the Davis men,
the Ralston men, and the spokesman
OF nearly all minor candidates, have
dismissed the Smith candidacy with
a deprecatory wave of the hand
and simply muttered ''Tammanyp'
They were not disposed to dis.
miss the Smith candidacy so lightly
today.
Situation Is Changed.
The death of Murphy and the
drafting of Roosevelt, who was a
Vice Presidential nominee four
years ago and popular with the
Wilson element Of the party. it was
admitted has lifted the Smith ca,l-
didacy from the plane of Tammany
and placed II before the party and

Inspired, perhaps, by the rapid
turn Of events, TammaHF Congress.
men were privately predicting about
the Capital today that Smith will
give McAdoo battle for supremacy
on the first ballot at the conven.
ton, and that thereafter his hidden
strength" from the unpledged dele.
gates will carry him into the lead
early in the game.
Only time will show whether their
rosy predictions are true. But at
all events, it was candidly con.
coded among responsible. Democrats
in Washington today that the can
didacy Of the New York governor
has, in the short space of one week,
leaped from an inauspicious bud
into full-blown flower that prom

The first and foremost matter to
be remembered for the coming cleo
ton is the fact that every vote in
town should be gotten out. The
next big thing in connection with
the election is that every voter
should work for the reelection of
A. j. Thomas as Representative.
This latter phase should be in
delibly stamped on the mind of
every voter interested in Ely and
the Vermilion Range. Mr.. Thomas
should go out of Ely with the solid
vote of the community in his favor.
From the looks of things, the
Mesaba Range has designs on all the
legislative positions. Virginia al
ready has the senatorship for an
other two years without an election
and the Mesaba towns should in all
fairness concede to Ely the position
now held by Mr.. Thomas. How
ever, we will get just what we work
for and it behooves the citizens of
Ely to get busy if we are to retain
a representative on this range.

On the plan worked out by the
American expert finance commits
sion, Germany has made her first
payment of 100000 gold marks
This is an advance payment on
the forthcoming loan to the German
government that is being raised in
England ar the United States.
The loan will be used to purchase
necessary raw materials like cotton,
copper and other articles used in
normal German industries.
Improved European prospects and
restoration of industrial tranquility
come as result of general accep,-
ance of the nonpartisan and ION
political financial scheme worked
out by American business men.
German industries md the Ger

As result, there will be opened
up for American investment and

There is the greatest inducement
