Yielding to Necessity.

The Democrats of New York are
bent upon renominating Gov. Al
Smith despite his earnest and sincere
request that he be permitted to retire
from public life-at least for two
wears And if the Democrats in party
convention renominate the governor,
he will accept. He made this clear in
his latest discussion of the subject be-
fore the Erie County Democrats on
Saturday. when he said. referring to
the state Democratic convention in
September whatever you decide
upon there. shall have to do"

But TO Gov. Smith belongs real
credit for having bee1 faithful and

The demand for Gov Smith to per.

best to get away from it. but the
