WASHINGTON, d. c. (By Edith

This was one of the epigrammatic
statements made by Miss Mamie

Wreckage widespread
1t is the irony OF politics that the
most spectacular career and per.
S0nality in the country'a political
structure should end that career with
q defeat so crushing, so complete,
as to leave no opening for re-
entrance.
1t is no easy or enticing situation
that now confronts the party man.
agement. There is considerable
wreckage mingled with the new con.
struction on the party lot. This will
have to be picked up, sorted out and
graded in the light of future needs.
Governor Smith re-made the party
according to his own plans when
he assumed the helm after the
Houston convention. To-. 1t he
brought "big business" executives
Of the Raskob type with money and
modern methods OF organization.
Welding Was Difficult
Through the force Of circum-
stances, the party became identified
with the wet side of the prohibition
question in this campaign, and to
cap the complete transformation
Governor Smith kicked the tradt-
tionaI Democratic tariff policy out
of the window when he came in the
door and made the party almost as
protectionist as its Republican rival.
This was not accomplished with
out considerable grumbling on the
part of the old-fashioned Southern
Democrats, who now, it 10 expected,
will be clamoring for Governor
Smiths head as well as for the
head OF his campaign director.
. The South has refused to accept
the Smith leadership, and now the
South, 1t ia believed, must assume
charge of the body unless and until
some LochinVar rides out of the
West in the next four years to do 1t.
Nominally, however, Smith and
Raslob are the party leaders until
the next convention in 1882, unless
they resign their positions between
now and then.
Shake-Up Nears
In any event. it is anticipated
that the Southern, dry and Protest
ant wing OF the party. which never
wanted the New York governor
nominated anyway, will soon begin
a clamor for return to Democratic
fundamentals. dryness, Protestant
ism, and opposition to the big
political machines of the cities.
There are going TO be q lot OF
'I-told.you-sos" flying about in
Democratic circles for the next Few
months, with the wet and Catholic
Democrats of North on the re-
4etving end and the anti-Smltn
Democrats doing the throwing.
The anti.Smith leaders are going
to contend that today's election re-
suits prove the impossibility OF elect
ing other than q Protestant to the
Presidency, and to demand a new
deal in the present party manage
ment on that basis.
The great experiment OF Cath.
Ollie candidate has been made, and
1t did not turn out so well Tor the
sponsors.
1t is not considered likely they VIII
get much OPPOSITION from Governor
Smith or Mr.. Raskob In their efforts
to regain control. Governor Smith
is represented as having had his
fill of politics.
