WASHINGTON ~
LETTER SKI

Josephus Daniels is one Of those
who have been mentioned as a pos
sible vice presidential candidate
with Smith to balance" the ticket.
For some time it has been reported
that Tammany was seeking q dis
tinguished southerner to pair up
with Al, but this strategy may not
work. Daniels might accept the
honor once Smith was nominated,
but he has always fought the party
machine in his state and it might
decide to fight him for the second
place nomination.
Smiths strength on the first few
ballots is likely to decide whether
he can win the nomination. He
seems likely to enter the convention
with something short Of 500 votes
delegates. Then the fight will real.
~ begin, for there doesn't seem to
be a chance that the party will ever
abrogate the two-thirds rule for his
benefit. A repetition of the disas-
trous Madison Square Garden dog
fight is not at all unlikely, but
Smith seems assured Of moro
strength than McAdoo d when the
latter was the leading candidate in
1924.
The principal weakness Of the
anti-Smith element seems to be
its lack of strong dry candidate
to mass behind. 1t ill look rather
silly if it scatters around among
favorite sons and doesn't assemble
at least half as man. votes as Smith
has for someone else. The latest
report is that some Of the anti
Smith leaders plan to solidify be-
hind the dry Governor Vic Donahey
of Ohio. But most of them admit
that Donahey, fol all his ability to
carry Ohio, might not be much Of
presidential candidate.

Washington, Sept. est becomes
more and more apparent that Gov
ernor AL Smith will not have many
southern delegates behind him when
the Democratic convention opens
next summer, if he has any at all.
His best hopes seem to lie IN
louisiana, where he IS likely to pick
up few, and there may be two or
three Smith delegates from Florida.
But the great solid souti is lined
up against him and will defeat him
| if it can.
Smith strategy in the south is to
elect Smith delega es. to the con-
vention under protective coloration.
Numerous instances are reported
where Smith men are out to land
on delegations by convincing the
voters that they are strong for IA
vorite sons or else want to be sent
uninstructed. If these tactics were
successful in enough instances,
they might win Smith the nomina-
ton, but they won't work in states
where the party has a well-organ-
lied machine or where the unit rule
is applied. The south seems to IA
vor delegates who will be anti
Smith whatever else they are.
| Il v \
Quite few southern politicians
would like to see Smith nominated,
but they don't dare say SO for fear
Of punishment at home. Whether
they will help Smith at the con-
vention is doubtful. Such senti-
ments, however, are distinctly not
those Of Democratic politicians in
the border states who fee that
with a ticket with Smith carrying
the flag would ruin them wherever
they have a strong Republican mi
nority at their heels.
The powerful Simmons machine
in North Carolina, for instance, is
death on Smith.

Throwing a Scare Into Us

Somebody is always taking the JOY out OF

many other Of our scientists who make pessi-

nomenon just year in which to happen.
There was day when something like this
would have been taken very seriously. The
world picks up it's newspaper reads that the
earth is about to split wide open all the way

couple of tickets, except that
the Navy deals mostly in salt

They could link up Soldiers
Field, Chicago; Yale Bowl,
Harvard's Stadium and the
Little Theatre on Ninth Street

the only piece of fighting our
major services do from one end
Of the year to another.
Sherman said war was hell,
but that was before they started
these fall massacres between
the two schools just to break
up the monotony of peace.
It's a good thing the game is
being played the Saturday after
Thanksgiving instead of the
Saturday before-else the Navy
wouldn't have a thing to be
thankful for. As things stand,
they can be glad they're still
alive next Thursday regardless
of their status Saturday night.
But to get back to those tickets
they are scarce as cash registers
in Chinese laundries. To make
them absolutely impossible of
counterfeiting, they had 'em
printed in the Philadelphia mint
this year.
One Eyed Connolly admits
this is one event it's hard to
crash. After failing seven
years in a row to make the
grade he was driven to despera-
ton and disguised himself as
the Navy goat--by not taking
a bath for three months before.
The reason you see so. many
politicians angling for cabinet
appointments is that two of
those jobs guarantee tickets to
the Army Navy annual mas
sacre. If that is official graft,
make the most of it.
