SMITH ADVISERS HIT.
ROOSEVELT STAND.
G. o. P. Leaders In New York
Resent "'Trickery Plot"
Charged by Him. III
Bpecial Dispatch to The Star.

Upeoial Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 15.-Some of
former Gov. Smiths close advisers here,
as well as Republican leaders, comment
ed unfavorably yesterday on Gov.
Roosevelt's "will-to-win" statement as
the result OF his survey OF the spirit
Of the Democratic party nationally
through correspondence with county
leaders In the various States. While
the statement followed a conference
between the new governor and former
Gov. Smith, some of the latter'S friends
resented what they interpreted as a
bid for national leadership on the part
of Gov. Roosevelt and the RELOCATION
of Mr.. Smith to the background.
'It looks more like self-advertising
than an effort to help the party" was
the comment OF one Smith supporter.
See Accord With Raskob and Smith.
On the other hand, some Democratic
politicians saw in the Roosevelt outline
Of the policies which should be pursued
by the Democratic party during the
next four years an apparent effort on
the part of the governor to go along
with the reported program OF party &C
tivities proposed by John j. RaSkob,
chairman of the Democratic national
committee. They took 1t for granted
that Mr.. Raskob and former Gov. Smith
were in agreement on this program.
The politicians, however, expressed
doubt as to how far Gov. Roosevelt
could go with the Raskob- Smith lead
ersfip without injuring his own polit-
ical future, especially If his friends
were looking forward to his candidacy
for the presidency in 1882. The pre-
diction was made that developments
might result in Mr.. Roosevelt gradually
breaking away from the Smith RaSkob
influence. This prediction was based
on the assumption that both Mr.. Smith
and Mr.. Raskob would not remain as
dominant influences in the national
party.
No Washington Meeting Called.
It was pointed out that the WASH
ington conference of national Demo-
cratic leaders suggested by Mr. Raskob
soon after the last election, designed
to determine his own status as well
as future party policies, had not mate
rallied. The reason that the meeting
had not been called, it was said, was
because a majority of the national
Democratic leaders had shown no
enthusiasm toward Mr.. Raskob's sug-
geStion. Doubt was expressed that any
such conference would be held.
Gov. Roosevelt'S statement, taken to-
gether with the announcement Of an
other coast-to-coast speech by former |
Gov. Smith on the radio tomorrow night |
and MIR. Raskobs prospective confer |
ence with the governor at Albany, were |
considered in political circles as o
strategic move on the part of the "big |
three" to proclaim their leadership tn |
advance of the determination Of Mr..
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-01-15

Raskob's status. or the party activities,
by the rajority of the national leaders.
"a party reaction to such move,
it was predicted. would probably lead
to open opposition to the Raskob-S Smith
leadership Political expediency, it was
said, If this situation developed, would
force Gov. Roosevelt to follow other ma
tional leaders.
Mr.. Raskob was to depart for Albany
today at 8:45 am. to accompany two
of his daughters back to the Sacred
Heart Convent, where they are pupils
He is expected to call on Gov. Roose-
welt.
Republican leaders expressed resent
ment at the portions of Gov. Roose-
velt's statement where he intimated that
his party had been cheated out of the
presidency" Surprise was expressed
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-01-15

that the governor, after his strong bid
for cooperation and harmony with the
Republican Legislature, should make
such statement.
"Gov. Roosevelt could not have said
anything which would be resented more
by his Republican friends, or which
would more effectively ALLEVIATE their
support" said one Republican State
leader.
other Republican leaders character
lied the governors remarks as an in
suit to the great majority OF the Amer
lean people who voted. Tor Herbert
Hoover. Such statements, they de-
clared. would not only weaken Mr..
Roosevelt's chances for reelection as
governor but would reflect adversely
on any aspirations he might have for
the presidential nomination four years

CANDID BIOGRAPHY

Reading biography is said to be now The rage. but it
pales in comparison with the passions of those who write
it. Political bigotries stalk at large, often degenerating
into private hates. Most of the new biographers tell
more of themselves and their c~roc.ets than of their
subject.
True biography has much in common with the writing
OF plays. The primary requisite is candor-tle breadth
Of view that holds an equal balance bctwene contending
forces. Only on such a basis can the dramatis perscnae,
the characters in a biography, be made vital and con-
vincine.
Biographies of Aaron Burr quote a sentence of his old
age as illustrating his love of polite literature-not as a
confession of his motive in forcing the duel. which it
really is. If / had read Sterne more and Voltaire less.
I should have known that the world was wide enough
for Hamilton and me-" 1t is a sentence which every
biographer should blazen upon his heart. Candor and
broad tolerance fill the page with vitality and color
with engaging truth.

Editorial Comment
THE WHEAT ACREAGE REDUCED
Dickinson Press

Statistics show that the wheat acreage on North Da-
kota farms will be materially reduced this year.
This is common sense from two different angles.
First. 1t shows an inclination on the part Of farmers
to diversity and plant more land to feed and forage
crops. 1t also shows that the average farmer is watch
ing the market and no longer sees hope Of financial
salvation or independence in wheat arising.
The unfavorabe condition of the wheat market at
the present time is anything but encouraging. While
congress battles over farm relief, the price sinks. So
there seems little hope for the wheat farmer.
The farmer who turns his attention toward diversified
ton. however, faces a brighter outlook. Livestock prices
still remain strong and there IS no indication Of an i'm
mediate decline. During the past year many Slope farm
ers have melted big returns from the sale of dairy
products. cattle, sheep and wool They have found that
livestock instead Of wheat furnishes the wherewithal to
lift mortgages and they are taking advantage of this in
a greater degree each year.
Moreover, Investigation builds land instead of vast
