After Analysing replies to q ques-

democratic leaders throughout the
country Governor Franklin ID. Roose-
welt was convinced today the party
has "the will to win"
Former Governor Alfred Z. Smith
was in Albany today and yesterday
had what he described as a heart

Next Wednesday Mr.. Smith will de-
liver an address over a nationwide
radio hook-up. His subject has not
been announced
Mr.. Roosevelt said replies to his
questionable indicated that demo-
cratic party leaders were in a mill
tan mood and stood ready not only
to contribute enough to wipe out tho
party deficit Of $I,500,OO0 but
enough more to carry on the work
Of the national party during the next
four years.
Says Presidency Stolen

caps OF the party.
Mr.. Roosevelt said the fighting
spirit OF the democrats had been
aroused by what he termed the
methods Of the republicans Ito cheat
the democratic party out OF the
presidency"
The party's "will to win" he be-
%lieves. 'can only be compared to that
which followed the theft Of the
presidency in the case Of Mr.. Tilden.
Bigotry, ignorance OF democratic
principles; the spread OF unspeak-
able and un-American methods Of the
most atrocious falsehoods; unfair
and improper pressure brought 70

ored republican industries. false
claims for prosperity Of the coun-
try and kindred propaganda. cheated,

Touching on the 81, 100000 deficit
in the party, the governor said:
-Four years ago the burden OF
three hundred and fifty thousand
dollars doomed large in the minds of
my correspondents as indicating an
impossibility Of financing active
organization work. This year ! think
at least half of my correspondents
have noted that sum. while large in
itself, would represent the contribu-
tion Of only a few cents from every
one who voted for the ticket and
many hundreds of county workers
have expressed a willingness TO
raise, BY an exceedingly modest
contribution from the individuals IN
their district. not only their portion
Of this Indebtedness but enough in
addition TO finance the national work
during the next four years"
