ROOSEVELT CAMP
WATCHES Richie
Visit of Maryland Governor to
Smith and Raskob Held
"Stop-R Roosevelt" Move.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Supporters of the nomination of Gov.
dency next year were aroused today by
the report of the activities of Gov AL
bert C. Richie of Maryland in New
York.
Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Mon
tana. one of the Democrats first to an
nounce his support of the New York
Governor for President, said that Gov.
Ritchie's call on former Gov. Alfred E.
Smith and Chairman John j. Raskob
of the Democratic National Committee
in New York yesterday was merely the
beginning Of stop Roosevelt" move
ment on the part Of opponents Of
Roosevelt.
The Montana Senator expressed the
opinion that Gov. Richie would net be
strong candidate for President in the
West. He insisted that the West and
the South are for the nomination Of
Gov. Roosevelt.
Warns Of Third Party.
1T is my belief" Senator Wheeler
said, ''that If the Democratic conven-
ton were held today, Franklin D.
Roosevelt would be nominated on the
first ballot. AS I see 1t, the present
boom for Gov. Richie is only part
of the movement now on foot to pre-
vent the nomination of Gov. Roosevelt.
This movement contemplated putting a
lot of favorite4son candidates into the
race in an effort to keep votes away
from Gov. Roosevelt.
IF the Democratic party does not
listen to the voice of the people and
nominate Roosevelt or some other lib
eral third party will spring up in
evitably in the next campaign"
Glass Proposes Former Gov. Byrd.
The comment of Senator Glass Of
Virginia regarding the Richie boom
was:
IF we're going to have Southern
man for the Democratic nominee for
President-and I favor that-let us
elect a man with a notable record OF
achievement. mean former Gov.
Harry Byrd of Virginia"
Democrats of the South end the West
are particularly unfavorable to making
prohibition the main issue in the coming
presidential campaign with the Demo-
Gratis taking an extreme wet stand.
:
land were nominated, prohibition will
overshadow all other issues. because
the Maryland Governor has been known
for years as one of the strongest OPP
ponents of national prohibition.
There is, too, feeling among West
ern Democrats that now is the time
ior the party to put into the presi-
Dental race a progressive candidate.
Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt Is regarded
by the Democrats in the West as more
progressive than Gov. Richie.
In 1928 Gov. Richie gracefully
stepped aside in the presidential race
and threw his support to Alfred E.
Smith for the Democratic no rination
for President Many Of his friends be-
lieve today that because of his action
and his whole-hearted support of
Smith, not only in 1913, but in 1924,
Gov. Smith should throw his influence
back of the Richie candidacy today.
