Frances Man of Genius


bination was impossible and had not
worn out, in manner evident to all,
the other competitors standing In the
way Of the country's salvation.
Let US do honor to the political genius
which the outgoing President has shown
and to the responsibilities which he
has chosen to assume. And yet never
has he pretended to be governing; he
has simply been presiding, and he has
thus shown by the very exercise of his
high functions the immense influence
which they can eventually have
There Is, however. in M. Doumergue's
popularity something else than the
mere recognition of his remarkable
political tact. "Gastonnet" (the French
diminutive for CASTOR and the friendly
nickname which was given Doumergue)
has undoubtedly touched the soul of
the people. This southerner. of good
family and respected in his village, has
been at the Elysse the authentic repre-
sentative of the people, would even
say Of the small people, Of France. BY
his simplicity, his absence of all preten-
ton, he has closely related those Of
his predecessors who have best expressed
the idea of democracy under the third
republic.
Is Cultured Man.
He has charming manners and cul-
ture-belonging thereby to the intellec-
tual elite-and the French people, who,
whatever may have been said about
them, love greatness in their chiefs, are
thankful to him for it. But at the
same time he does not intimidate the
crowd by that aspect of the great bour-
geois which has been characteristic with
some Presidents, Carnot for instance,
Casimir-Perier and Millerand. People

smile! He Is an accomplished type OF
chief such as the French LIKE could
say also the Americans. English people
would be proud to see one of their
former rulers retire to his country seat
and be served by liveried buffers. French
public opinion Is grateful to Doumergue
for choosing to retire to his small south
ern farm.
That, however, is not everything. If
I did not throw the limelight on the
national" side of his presidency an
essential trait would be missing. M.
Doumergue has acquired in the high
administrative and political posts he
has held in France and the colonies, q
lively consciousness of Frances great
ness. At the Elysee-every one has
felt it-he has never omitted to do every
thing which might contribute to Frances
greatness. Conservation Of the political
and moral heritage is one of the most
difficult. but most necessary, tasks Of a
chief of the state.
At an exceptionally agitated time OF
our political history the outgoing Presi-
dent has thus brought this element
which is essential to every regime which

security, the continuity and the peren-
niality of France. Many of us did not
think that the ElySee would allow such
an action: the experience of Doumer-

304.755 1t is reasonable to doubt that
under today's changed conditions Smith

have IL more electoral votes.
Smith lost Connecticut In 1928, but
only by 44,674 voteS-out of total of
548,654. In the meantime. in 1890,
Connecticut has gone Democratic on it's

he should get Connecticut that would
give him 10 additional electoral votes.
Gain Would Be SO Votes.
So far We have Smith getting 80 more
electoral votes than the 30 he got from
States he carried in 1928 actually.
Smiths eight States had 81 electoral
votes in 1923: since then reapportion-
ment has reduced the number to 800
That probability alone land as Of to-
day 1t Is not merely probability but
almost a certainty. is enough to &C
count for the strong wish OF Smiths
followers that he be nominated again.
He would more than double the cleo
toral vote he got in 1923. He would
stand in history not as the orst-beaten
Democrat who ever ran, but as one with
a very respectable showing. One hun
dred and seventy-three electoral votes
is considerably short of the 266 neces-
sary to win: but-and this weighs with
Smiths friends-it is more than Davis
got in 1924, or Cox in 1920, or Bryan In
two Of his campaigns.
That Smith could in all probability
double his electoral vote is a sufficient
reason for his friends to wish to Eirs
him the opportunity. But IL Is vefY
easy to pass on to the assumption thai
Smith could not only do that-but
actually win the election. And this
assumption. as of today, can be sup
ported by some striking figures.
