SMITH DEMOCRATS
HOPE FOR ILLINOIS,
BUT ROAD is ROCKY

Continued from First PageJ
Evening star., 1927-09-20

Continued from First Page.)
defeat was heralded over the country
as an evidence of what might be ex-
pected to happen to Gov. Smith should
he be nominated. If a Catholic could
not carry Cook County, what chance
has another in the State of Illinois
taken as a whole, 1t was asked. The
answer seems to be none.
Illinois has preferential presi'
dental primary next April 1t is ad-
visoi,y upon the delegates elected
rather than mandatory under the law.
Delegates, however, are considered to
be morally bound to pay attention to
the preference expressed by voters in
the primary. In 1924 Gov. Smith
did not enter the preside ntial primary
here, though his old opponent.
McAdoo, did. Smiths name was not
on the ballot, but was written in by
a handful of voters, 235 in number.
McAdoo's vote in that primary was
180,544, which may give some measure
of the auti-Smith strength among the
who voted for McAdoo are not likely
to vote for Smith. Smith did not
enter his name in any Of the pres;-
dental primaries that year.
Brennan has Opposition.
In the convention Of 1924. in Madi-
son Square Garden, McAdoo on the
siXty-ninth ballot. when his strength
was at its height in that convention,
received only Ii votes from the
Illinois delegation. Smith, on the
other hand. on the seventy-sixth bal
lot, his high point in the balloting, re.
ceived 30 votes from Illinois. The
State casts 5S votes In the Demo
cratic national convention.
S Brennan. the boss of the Democratic
machine in Cook County, is not with.
out Democratic opposition in the State
and. indeed, in the county. With no
little regularity a minority group,
which hates him. seeks to undermine
the genial leader. But he has held on
firmly and probably will continue to
do SO. His job will be to line up dele.
gates for Gov. Smith. whether the gov.
ernor's name goes before the Demo-
cratic voters in the primary next April
or not. Brennan is regarded as one
of Smiths ablest lieutenants in this
fight, and he is likely to be a power
in the national convention. If by any
chance. Smith should finally decide
to eliminate himself from considera-
tion for the presidential nomination,
it would be a great disappointment to
his supporters in Illinois.

 "Escapement was very poor ia all sections of the area except Egegik which had q good run throughout the season and cor responding eseapament. But tae season there had to be closed early owing to a large increase in gear Mr Winn said. 'sUp 10 the time of the closing of the fishing operations Maknek and KYichak had almost no eseapement al all. A fair medium nm struck in after ihe closing which seeded the beds fairly well There was no heavy volume of fish at any point throughout the season.
 While the season was stormy and rough, Mr. Vim added, the abnormal weather did not prevent fishing operations at any time. The fish were coming in such a way to Naknek and Kvichak that the fishermen were meeting them in the vicinity of Eeegik and get ting most of them before they reached the former areas and con sequently there was no eseaps.
