Smith and the West.

Two prominent Protestant Demo-
Gratis In public statements yesterday
took up the cudgels for Gov. Smith
Of New York. They are Senator Royal
S. Copeland of New York and former
Senator Atlee Pomerene of Ohio. Both
are anti.prohibitionists. Both see the
New York Governor as available for
the Democratic nomination for Presi-
dent. MFR. Pomerene, while not COM
hitting himself finally to the Smith
camp, extolled the governor, placing
him or a plane with the greatest men
Of the Democratic party in the past.
Senator Copeland, of course, is for
Smith. FIRST, last and all the time
The New York Senator has returned
from the West, claiming that Smith
has won the West" To be fair to
the New Yorker, it must be added that
he believes that Gov. Smith has "won"
the delegations to the Democratic ma
tional convention which next year is
to nominate the presidential candi'
date. This is somewhat different from
winning the electoral votes of the
great States Of the West.
The fact of the matter is that the
Democratic party in many Of those
States is little more than a skeleton.
It has been fiat on its back for years.
What particular appeal to the West
does Gov. Smith possess-an appeal
which might cause a political revolu-
ton, a turnover of votes similar to
that which gave Woodrow Wilson the
election I'm 1915? Does his opposition
to national prohibition appeal to the
West? How many members OF Con-
gress from that section vote anything
but dry? Does the fact that he is
Tammany man give him strength with
the people Of the West, who have been
taught that Tammany is the last thing
in machine politics, with corruption as
an outstanding characteristic? And
finally, is the Protestant West more
tolerant than the Protestant South,
when It comes to election of a Cath
olic as President of the United States?
These are questions which Senator
Copeland must weigh.
But In 30 far as the delegates from
Western States to the Democratic ma
tional convention are concerned, Sem
ator Copeland doubtless il correct in
his estimate. The leaders for the most
part are for Smith, believing that he
has a better chance for election than
any other Democrat. The election Of
any Democrat to the presidency means
patronage for the party, large slices
OF it in the West as well as in other
sections Of the country. Furthermore,
in many Of the Western States the
democratic skeleton which exists has
as its backbone Irish-American and
wet Democrats, who will be potent in
the selection Of the delegates to the
national convention.
The former Senator from Ohio, writ
ing in the North American Review,
appeals to the American people not to
permit religious intolerance to inter
fere in the selection Of President. He
makes an admirable Plea plea that
in logic and justice is unanswerable.
But arguing away religious preju-
dice is the worlds most dificult task.

Old Santa Claus will soon be due.
His benefits he'll bring anew.
The children used TO lie awake,
Expecting oranges or cake.
But youth has grown exceeding wise
And scorns the things it used to prize
A gift must cost, to cheer the feast,
A million dollars, at the least.
Still larger grows the giving game,
And good old Sanity has the fame
Which others use. Advantage great
He'd find, could he incorporate.
