rode across the smooth turf, shut in
from the blusterous wind until old

recess beneath narrow opening in e1e
masonry, where ivy grew very thick:
leaning from her pony she CROPPED amid
these leaves and presently drew thence
a cord which she tugged at once, twice,
thrice and sat very silent and motion
less. And after some while the ivy
leaves parted and from the very ground
the pale oval of face glirnmered up at
them, whereto the gypsy addressed her
self:

DEMOCRATS SHOWN

Special Dispatch to The Star.

ALBANY, January 14.-Gov. Roose-
Welt and his predecessor in Office, Alfred
z. Smith. had conference last evening
at the Executive Mansion which is
believed to have embraced State politics
and the rehabilitation OF the Dem
ocratic party nationally.
Former Gov. Smith said that his trip
was inspired by the desire to see ms
granddaughter. Mary A. Warner, daugh-
ter of the superintendent OF state po-
lice. before his departure for FLORIDA
for a six-week vacation. In view OF the
fact that he is to believer widespread
radio address Wednesday evening. how
ever, it is thought that the opportunity
for a talk with Gov. Roosevelt also had
something to do with his trip.
5000 Chairmen Reply.
In its national aspect, it is believed
that the conference centered upon The
replies received by Gov. Roosevelt from
about 5000 Democratic county chair
men to whom he wrote after election
for their views concerning steps to be
taken to strengthen the party.
In general, according to Gov. Roose-
welt, county leaders indicated in their
letters that they thought closer alliance
among county, State and national Or
carnations, unremitting publicity for
Democratic policies and principles, and
increased and continued activity by the
Democratic national committee were
vital measures. Most of the writer's
the governor said, mentioned the party'S
81 100000 campaign deficit and pointed
out that it was inconsequential,
amounting to only few cents per
capita.
THE feeling in the party" said Gov.
Roosevelt, "can only be compared to
that which followed the theft of the
Presidency in the case of Mr.. Tiden.
Bigotry. ignorance of Democratic prin-
ciples, the spread by unspeakable and
un-American methods of the most
atrocious falsehoods, unfair and i'm
proper pressure brought to bear upon
workers in specially favored Republican
industries, false claims for the pros
perity of the country and kindred
propaganda cheated, so my correspond
ents feel, our party out OF the Presi-
dency."
The county leaders, said Mr.. Roose-
Welt, urged immediate concentrations
upon the congressional elections of 1880
to prevent a repetition Of such a
obviously earned victory"
In making public the tenor OF the
replies he had received, Gov. RooSe-
welt said that they would be turned
over to John j. Raskob, chairman of
the Democratic national committee, and
expressed the hope that the national
committee would be maintained at
high point Of efficiency as central

edge Of the militant spirit Of the rank
and file of the Democracy OF the Ma
ton, but also to express at this time
to the thousands of correspondents my
appreciation of their letter and my
assurance that eventually they will re-
ceive. not only an acknowledge OF
their communication but an analysis OF
all the other replies received.
Zone of the structural faults OF our
national Democratic organization in the
past. which has resulted from our pre-
vious practice of laying the national
committee carefully away In cotton wool
after each election, to be taken out and
busted off just before the next presi-
Dental election, has been the lack OF
anv central clearing house for exchange
of ideas among the leaders, great and
small, of our party.
This has resulted in local organiZa-
lions working in entire ignorance OF
what the organizations of other States,
and even of other organizations IN their
own State, are doing"
LAS was to be expected, an over
whelming majority of State leaders were
enthusiastically in favor of continued
national activity" the statement added.
Militant Spirit Aroused.
eft can be stated as fact, based
on these actual answers OF county
leaders, that never before in the history
of the Democratic party, at least dur
ing the last IS years, has there been
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-01-14

clearing house for the exchange OF
ideas by party leaders. Ninety-eight
per cent of those who replied to his
letter. said Gov. Roosevelt, concurred
in this view of the proper sphere OF a
national committee.
Fight on Raskob Persists.
The hostility to MIR. Raskob, who will
be here this week for conference with
Mr.. Roosevelt. as national chairman
evinced by Southern leaders because
of his antipathy to prohibition is far
from dead, according to information
received by the governor. He has been
informed that organizations in the
South which bolted the party last Fall
are being kept alive with view to
opposing the nomination of another
wet or Tammany candidate.
Many Southern leaders are said to
be opposed to Mr.. Raskob's plan for
maintaining the national committee on
an active basis in non-campaign years
because it is Mr.. Raskob's plan and
because he is head of the committee.
The Southern drys are said to have
told Gov. Roosevelt that his own poll
teal future would be endangered by
alliance with anti-prohibition or Tam
many men.
Gov. Roosevelt is believed to have
addressed his letter to county leaders
this year rather than to State chair
men. as he did four years ago, in the
hope of finding support for Mr.. Ras-
kob's plan of continued activity on the
part of the national committee. The
governors suggestion for a conference
of national leaders of the party in
Washington on the subject is said to
have met with slight response.

take some time" Mr.. Roosevelt said, II

pressed In these letters" Mr.. Roosevelt
continued "It is deep sense of anger
and resentment at the methods en-
ployed against our candidate in the last
campaign, which has stirred our party
from top to bottom, as I think it has
never been stirred before, to set about
and set about Immediately to make a
repetition of such obviously earned
victory impossible four years from
now"
One unanimous opinion that can be
drawn from the replies, he added, is
that "the crying need is publicity-pub-
licity-publicity; that Democratic
papers must be encouraged and in
creased in number; that the independ-
emit press of the country must be fur
nished with information and argu-
ments as to the attitude of the Demo-
cratic party on questions which are
rightfully party questions and on issues
which are founded on fundamental be-
liefs as to the best course for our

shown so clearly a militant, aroused
and aggressive determination to con-
tinue actively to fight not only with
a view to the national election four
years from now, but for the coming
congressional elections in 1880 as well,
and to begin now unceasing and con-
slant effort to place the Democratic
party in control of all branches of the
Government at Washington.
'This clearly expressed feeling can
only be compared to that which fol-
lowed the theft of the presidency in

rance of Democratic principles, the
