(Washinsten Correspondent, N. 3. Herald
Washington. d. c., Sept. 1s.-lf
what the country needed. In ad-
dition to the we'll known good five
cent cigar, was good political
Shake-up. a reaiignment OF major
parties. and an all-round unheaval
then this Is The healthiest presi-
Dental campaign of the century.
Issues that have never appeared
in a presidential campaign before
have assumed such Importance as TO
make the final outcome extremely
puzzling for even the lifelong pro-
fessional politicians.
Never have party lines seemed to
be less binding. The contest be-
tween the democratic and the re-
publican national committees in
announcing defections from the 9TH
er party and in attracting the indie
pendent vote seems up TO the pres
ent time to be 4 draw. Every time
lifelong democrat is out for
Hoover. the democrats counter with
a ''life-long republican" out for
Smith. Every time the democrats
add some outstanding Independent
to the rolls of the party workers,
along come the republicans with the
appointment Of some such person to
a campaign post.
Yet not in recent years has such
an appeal been made to the hoary
party principles. The republicans
have gone back to the old issues,
such as the tariff trying to coun-
teract the defininte change in the
democratic party on this question
with a reminder of what the demo-
Gratis have done In the past on the
tariff. The democrats have, frcm
Claude Bowers keynote speech on.
been shouting the battlecry OF JEFF
fersonian Democracy, of states
rights. of equal rights against spe-
cial privileges.
Rarely have SO many Of the old
rules of the political gene been dis
carded. Particularly is this true in
the South, where the movement Tor
New Britain herald., 1928-09-18

"liiy-white repuhlicanism" has re
ceived a great impetus by tn
Smith candidacy, That " 10 say

would gladly join with the repub'
licans this year II there were sat
isfactory white republican leaders
the South. Part of the whispering
campaign against Smith In the
Southland some OF these "whl.
pers" have been published and
widely distributed-is that he
"countenances' social and economic
equality for the Negroes.
This campaign against Smith Is
doubtless helpful in winning white
votes for Hoover in the south de-
spite the wide distribution Of Sem
ator Cole Bleases speeches about
Hoover's having white and negro
clerks work in the same rooms in
the census bureau, but il is very
embarrassing to the republicans in
the north. In many cities the ne
groes have been wavering, for the
first time. The report comes to
Washington from Detroit that the
vacillating colored vote is being
won by the sole argument, "Of
course, Smith is all right, but what
if he should die after he is elected"
There is another novel factor en-
tering into this campaign. The can
didates for vice-president are UNI
usually important. The nomination
of a southerner by the democrats
is tremendously helpful in reconcil-
ing the south to New York Leaders
ship and 10 Tammany. just as it is
alternating, apparently, negro votes
that might have gone to Smith. md
certainly the republican nomination
of Senator Charles Curtis for vice.
president Is largely responsible for
obtaining the endorsement OF the
National Woman's Party for Hoover.
Hoover did not come out definitely
tor the Woman's Party's equal
rights program, but Senator Curtis
sponsors the proposed equal rights
amendment in the senate. and was
big factor in the passage of the
suffrage amendment.
Some of the republican leaders
consider it unwise to abandon the
old political methods in the south.
They do not believe that 1t will
gain as many white votes In the
south as it will lose colored votes In
the big cities of the north. such as
Chicago, New York. and Boston.
where the republicans have " big
fight on their hands.
The East is the other difficult
problem. The tradition that many
Eastern areas are democratic local
ly and republican nationally threat
ems to be unreliable this year. The
large number Of Catholics and Of
vets in these cities is held to be
responsible for this uncertainty.
Even from Maine, where the re-
publicans, without q chance Of be-
ing defeated, fought SO hard to OBJ
tain their impressive majority in
the state election, there are rumors
New Britain herald., 1928-09-18

that the French Canadian Catholic,
and the Irish Catholics may vote
together for once. and throw 4
larger democratic vote in the ma
tional election than in the state
election. On the other hand. some
declare that the results In Maine
show that people are not voting on
a religious basis at all, for the pre-
ponderance OF Catholics there might
have told a different story had peo-
Pile been considering their religion
when they went to the polls. Other
New England states are not As def
initefy republican as Maine, and
they are chiefly wet while Maine Is
dry.
Thus the democrats have to COM
bat in the east tradition that It
''is better for business" to have a
republican in the White House.
while the republicans have to COM
bat anti prohibition sentiment in the
cities and the possible feeling on the
part of Catholics that they should
support a Catholic for the presi-
dency just because of the fact that
the anti Catholics in the South and
the Middle West have made such an
issue over Governor Smiths re-
ligion.
The voters this year seem to be
made up Of the following groups:
Staunch party people who will not
scratch the ticket even though they
are violently opposed to the presi-
Dental nominee. and there are
many of these In both parties: anti
Smith people; anti-Hoover people:
and enthusiastically pro-smith peo-
Pile. The republicans have not sue
ceeded in working up tremendous
personal enthusiasm for Hoover. At
the same time. they have to fight
against an exuberant personal en-
thusiasm for Smith, but they have
on their side an equally vociferous
antt-Smith group.
1t IL certainly a curious and d.
verting spectacle to watch a cam
paign In which both basic princi.
Piles Of difference between two par
ties and two men are more import
ant than they have been In any
recent campaign while at the same
time prejudices and emotions are
being appealed to with an intensity
