 The turn of events has brought into interesting juxtaposition some of the most luminous members of somewhat numerous constellation of presidential possibilities.
 Nearly all the aspirarts who are in active politics are on the party ticket this year in some capacity.
 Both sides agree that the result this year might have direct bear ing on the Hoover fortunes two years hence.
 To mention but a few of those Democrats whose friends already are talking hopefully of electoral colleges and 1892, Joe T. Robinson, Smiths running mate two years ago, is a candidate for reelection to the Senate from Arkansas and Franklin D. Roosevelt is seeking a second term as governor of New
