GOV. ROOSEvELT'S
VICTORY ON FIRST
BALLOT PREDICTED
Farley, New York Chairman,
Says He Found Over
WheIming Favor.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September IL IN. A.
N. AT look to see Gov. Roosevelt
nominated by reclamation. On my
recent trip West I talked with Demo-
cratic leaders, men and women, vets
and drys, liberals and conservatives,
and I came back convinced that the
demand for the nomination Of Frank
lin Roosevelt for President is genuine.
80 widespread is this sentiment
that I honestly believe majority OF
the Democrats and Independents OF
the country would be willing to let
him write his own platform"
These are the words Of James A.
Farley, chairman of the New York
Democratic State Committee and rec
ognized manager of the Roosevelt-for-
President movement which has been
gathering force ever since the Gov
ernor was reelected last year by the
unprecedented, majority of 100000.
Man Behind Scenes"
Farley, a figure little known to the
national political stage, has been the
real man behind the scenes in the
Roosevelt boom.
Last week came what many thought
was a big piece of political news. A
Washington correspondent said he
knew Al Smith was out Of the 1882
race, clearing the course for Roose-
welt. There was furry of excite
ment.
But few hours later Al telephoned
from his Long Island vacation spot
speak for him and that it was too
early to tell what he would do next
June.
What does all this signify2
There is gossip about Smith going
out and capturing the New York dele
gates to the 1882 convention, but few
believe he will. It might be the signal
for. other States which have little love
for New York politicians to rally to
Roosevelt.
Lack Of Interest Felt.
While Roosevelt's friends are count
ing on the support of AL Smith, there
really appears to be a lack of interest
in the success Of the Roosevelt move
ment by the 1928 presidential candi-
date. Nor has there been any consul
tation with Smith regarding Roose-
velt's candidacy.
It is said Gov. Roosevelt has moi
bothered to seek AIS advice on matters
at Albany. 1t is also known that A
is out of the Curry regime in Tam
many.
Smith has limited to old friends that
he is ignored by the men he helped to
win fame.
But" he is quoted as saying the
other day, 1.-The time will come when
they will have to consult me and then
I'll have something to say, and it may
not be so pleasant for some of the
gentlemen high-hatting me today"
The attempt of RooSeveltS enemies
to tie him up with Tammany will fail
say his friends. They believe he has
handled the Tammany investigation

Few Simple Rules
Govern the Making
OF New Left Turn

A few salient facts about the
left-hand turn effective tomorrow
Is all that the motoriSt is required
to know in order to make the
turn in safety and without con-
fusion.
The turn is from the center
of the street.
1t is made only when facing the
green light or go sign of police
mans semiphore.
1t cannot be completed until
through traffic has cleared the
intersection.
The driver first to enter the
intersection has the right of way.
The turn is made by passing
to the left or near side of the
center of the intersection.
Hand signals, indicating the
contemplated direction of the
driver, must be used.
Pedestrians must be safeguard
ed at all times.
Use common sense. A few feet
this way or that way often will
prevent jams.
Remember this turn is not a
new idea. It has been con-
tinuously used at all uncontrolled
intersections.
