BASSETTE THINKS
 SMITH CAN'T WIN
Handicapped by "Wet" Leaninss
 and Religious Issue

Buell. B, Bassette, secretary Of the Civic Safety league and an ardent prohibitionist, believes Governor Smith of New York has only a slight chance of being elected president if he is nominated by the democratic party in campaign against Secre- tary Hoover. MT. Bassette explained his beliefs today, pointing out that Smiths alleged wet" tendencies and his religion will be serious ham, dicaps MT. Bassette said:
 Al Smiths chances Of nomination by the democratic convention at Houston are greatly enhanced by the fact that there Is apparently no out standing nationally known candidate with clean hands to oppose him. There are plenty of good men aVail- able, but there is little chance in political elections for one who is not generally known beforehand for some outstanding achievement.
 '"The democrats have had a won- derful opportunity handed to them this year by reason of the oil scan- dals surrounding the past two ad- ministrations: and because also Of Ithn generally poor law enforcement influence of these two admlnlstra- tions, with ex-distiller Mellon in charged thereof. But democratic leaders are not showing much wis., dom in taking advantage of the situ- ! ation. Tn fact, Al Smith comes for ward just at this time to becloud the tissue for the democrats.
 "Realizng the situation, repubh- can inner circles, and many repuo- 1 lican newspapers, are known 10 pc ! favorable to Smiths nomination; not that they wish to vote for him, but because they figure that he Will be 1 a comparatively easy man to beat. l Candidate Smith goes before the peo- pie with a tremendous handicap ln ! that he led the people of his state to the point of non cooperation "l'h the federal government on the en- | forcemon, of the 18th amendment Cleveland, on the other hand, made
 a national reputation on law en-
 forcement in New York state and went before the people on that rec
 ord, and won out. Another serious
 handicap for Smith is his known
 propensity to consult Catholic church leaders about the best way to sup
 port certain of his positions. Amer
 ica is tolerant of all religions, but i'
 is predominantly Protestant and
 does not like to sec church affairs as such mixed with government.
 "There is little support in America 1 as a whole with a non-law enforce
 ment program such as Smith haf 1 engineered in New York state. When
 the issue is clear, voters respond
 eagerly on the side of the constitu.
 ton. A candidate like Mo Adoo

 stands firm on enforcement. would

hs ever had: but hs has his nans withdrawn from the race.
 ''Tammany candidates are almost invariably poor loserA It was go four years ago when Davis won out over Smith. At that time. without waiting for the election. many of the Tammany Smith supporters declar. ed that they would not support the Davis ticket and they used the knife freely in the election. Then again Smiths success in New York state elections cannot be ascribed to the popularity of his program. 70 much as 1t can to the poor quality of the opposition. Governor Miller. for instance. lost out because he wabbled on the wet issue, and thus disgusted more voters than he won. Smith thus went in on a small mar gin because of the great republican detection. It was so again when Theodore Roosevelt. Jr. ran against him, Roosevelt ran on an openly wet platform and this disgusted far more republicans than he won. In fact, thousands of them supported third party ticket and defeated not only Roosevelt but Senator Wadsworth also. This result 50 en- frightened the republicans that the state chairman announced that they would never run an openly wet man again. With opposition like that it is probable that Smith could not be elected in New York.
 Tt is admitted that Smith Is a hard man to beat at his own game; but he is not hard to beat when he is pitted against one who sees the fundamental issue of Americanism which is constitutional integrity sup ported by nothing less than the strictest law enforcement. When the republicans have tried to beat Smith at his own game, many voters fall back upon that sound principle Of ethics, as between two evils, choose neither This is why less than 50eo of the electorate vote in national elections when the issues are muddled. The electorate has been especially confused in the last two national elections because nei- ther party came out clearly in favor Of or against the 18th Amendment and the volstead Act. As the Chicago Examiner express 1t. let the parties come out clearly either on one side or the other of Prohibition. and the country would see not only a smashing vote, but yoH wouldn't be able to see the polls for the dust"
