ROOSEVELT.
BOOM .
Democrats Lean to Maryland
Governor to Stop Advances
! of N. Y. Man to Presidency

Beneath the placid surface ol
the Democratic presidential poo
developments are beginning tc
shape themselves. which show the
direction of the prevailing wind.
In the order of their importance
these developments might be listed
as:
a. Governor AL Smiths open
criticism of Governor Franklin
d. Roosevelt, who by long odds
Is considered the leading presi-
Dental possibility at this time.
First of Campaigning
(2.) Governor Albert C.
Ritchie's speaking tour of New
England, marking the first bit
of open campaigning INDUCED in
by any Of the Democratic posi-
bilities.
49, The visit to New York this
week of Mayor Anton Cermak,
of Chicago, accompanied by
other Illinois leaders. for confer.
ences with powerful Eastern
leaders, among whom Is AL
Smith.
These developments, seemingl!
unrelated, are actually linket
closely together in the minds ol
practical politicians here, who are
watching events with close atten
ton.
Ritchie Ranks High
It is more or less an open secret
that those Democratic elements
which do not look with favor upon
Governor Roosevelt's nomination
have been casting around fol
some time for q candidate to act
as the spearhead of the movement
to stop Roosevelt"
They believe they have fOunG
their man in Maryland's four
time governor. His rather exten
sive tour of New England, just
concluded, was designed to give
him the opportunity to see and
be seen by the party rank and fils
I'm the important industrial States
Of the Northeast.
The Roosevelt candidacy has
been progressing at a pace which
has been extremely disconcertinG
to his opponents. Nearly every
Southern State is planning tt
send a Roosevelt delegation tt
the convention next June
East Opposes Him
Important party influences ir
the East frankly do not want
to see Governor Roosevelt nomi
mated. They do not like his ad
vanced views on the power issue
TIL Rooseveltian policy on pro
hibition has been rather a curl
Gus one. While he once declared
himself against the Eighteenth
Amendment and the Volsteac
law, as at present constituted
he has consistently refrainec
from any further mention ot
the issue. =.
The New England States have
no favorite sons. Generally. they
will be inclined to "go along
with Governor Smith in any
thing he proposes. Their votes
could be attached to Smith him
self for probably as long as he
wants them, but the former gov,
ernor is said to be strongly
adverse to having his name voted
upon in the convention at any
time.
