Editorial Comment
No Strategy Required
New York Tinles)

(-NCW 1OTk INncS)
While the DyWays are being searched and
the hedges beaten in the quest Of anti-Smith
Democrats for q candidate to oppose him, the
governor Of New York sits quietly by among
the passive Spectators Long ago, being man
OF wisdom, he concluded that, if destiny had
marked him for the presidential nomination,
destiny would do the necessary preliminary
work. And 50 he has remained on his own
preserves, saying and doing nothing to aid his
candidacy. Meanwhile, the efforts OF his OPP
ponents advance every day the chances Of the
governors nomination. Detached observers
become more and more conscious Of the truth
Of the old political saying, "You can't beat
Somebody with Nobody"
Even before Mr.. McAdoo formally renounced
his eght-year dream, the Democratic scene
contained Al Smith and Nobody. This is moi
because there are not many able and worthy
men in the party available for the presidency
1t is not q human equation, nor an equation OF
talent and character; it is an equation Of avail
ability. BY the laws Of politics, the Democrat
who has four times been elected governor OF
New York and whose personality and achieve
mcnts have won the admiration of thousands
outside his own state is a stronger candidate
politically, than the equally popular or able
governor or senator Of i smaller state who has
not gathered 50 wide an outside following. Ii
there were not vets and drys in this country,
or if Mr.. Smith were not q Catholic, he would
already be as good as nominated. This is gen
orally conceded where managing politicians
meet. And it is further admitted that, unless
the anti-Smith wing finds an inspirationa lead
er who makes a distinguished contrast with
New York's governor, there is no discernible
way to dig the trenches for diehard opposi-
ton. This is particularly true because the
supporters of Governor Richie and Senator
Reed will naturally gravitate to Smith if their
champions fall by the Wayside.
Realizing all this long ago, personally re-
uctant to go on q chase for the nomination
because Of the form Of the opposition to him.
Governor Smith evidently decided on that
strategy which is perfect because it is no STRAIT
cgy at al. He decided to do nothing, and let
his party take the responsibility. Not since
Governor Mckinley Of Ohio sat on his front
porch at Canton and watched Tom Reed tear
ing about the land in search Of the Republican
nomination in 1896, has there been q similar
political spectacle. When the office really
seeks the man there is never any mistake about
! it. When B'rer Fox fought the Tar Baby.
B'rer Rabbit just lay low.

ia &SOOAN0A ~ 0AA0Av
Washington, Oct. 3.-Politicians
will believe anything.
They seldom agree on anything
with unanimity, but here are some
Of the things some Of them telieve:
That Governor AL Smith is the
strongest candidate the Democrats
could possibly run and is the only
man who can win.
That AIS nomination would be a
frightful boner and that he would
run MILLIONS Of votes behind any
nice, respectable, dry Democrat.
That President Coolidge either
because Of his own desire or that of
others, or both, is definitely out OF
next years presidential race.
That President Coolidge will be
drafted" by worried party which
feels that he is by far its safest
candidate
That Herbert Hoover can't pos
sibly win because he doesn't fit with
the politicians and can't gain
enough strength in farm regions
and the east.
That Hoover is riding on q ris-
ing tide of popularity among the
business men and the people which
will easily give him majority at
the convention.
They're sure:
That Jim Reed is the strongest
Democratic candidate because he is
bound to inherit the Smith strength
when Smith definitely fails to
break through the two-thirds rule.
That Jim hasn't a chance because
he's wet, because the farmers are
sore at him and because he de-
serted Woodrow Wilson.
That Frank Lowden knows the
can't wir with his prospective bloc
Of farm state delegates and ths he
will bequeath them to Dawes as
soon as he has had a brief fling at
the convention.
That Lowden has chan to win
because-(well, come to think of it,
nobody really believes this one).
That Charles Evans Hughes will
be nominated with the support of
Andy Mellon, the eastern cepubli-
cans. the international bankers and
the Standard Oil company.
That Hughes won't be nominated

lt cars very similar in design.
But the same boy, according to his parents,
oessnot know the difference between q COW

oy, sorry that ne is missing part Of youth
Ill Of Bob White or the sweet notes of the
ngers of our woods and meadows. Indeed, a
leadow to this little fellow probably would be

The parents Of this boy owe him something
hey owe him a spring and summer in the
puntry, near some creek where there are fish
nd where the COWS have made path from
heir pa~ture. They owe him few hours with
be gang around the stump at the sWimmn
BILE. They owe him aimless little hikes with
by companions, over the countryside, across
he creek, over the hill to the walnut grove
asst the apple orchard and the barn and the
ing trough where the horses drink.
They owe him bucket and trip with the
ired man to milk the cows and a drink of that
.esh warm milk. They owe him an ak and
h hour at the woodpile. The musical dusk
18th it's frogs and crickets and the owls--these
hould be given him.
