Democrats Are Strong

otherwise, there is a showing Of
great Democratic strength in the
county. Aided by the popularity of
the state ticket and the positive
move to Roosevelt in the wards and
townships of the south, west and
northwest sections of city and coun-
, ~, the county ticket is expectea to
go over by at least 10000 majority,
while the national and state candi-
dates will make the grade by mar
gins ranging from $4,000 to $4,000
votes.
OF course, II there is a land
slide. the majorities will be much
greater. But. all in all, it is no
sash prediction to say that the
Democrats will carry the Eleventh
and Twelfth districts.

by L'Enfant, running through to the
next street, which was really the front,
but which is not used at present. The
entrance hall at Sewer place is baronial
in its spaciousness, with stairways on
either side.
Many of the old homes are incon-
spicuous, quantity attractive and more
commodiouS than the simple front would
indicate. A stone step on the pavement
and a straight facade and gardens at
the side and back, but the doorway is
perfect in it's simplicity, and the house
has been home for many generations.
In such houses Georgetown has lived
beautifully and quietly. The old settle
ment has had its ups and downs.
AS Washington grew it drew trade
and interest from Georgetown. The

blow that preserved Georgetown and

like being kissed on one cheek and
slapped on the other. Georgetown be-
came the west end of Washington, and
when the historic names of the streets
were taken down and the numbers and
letters extended, old Georgetown folk

all the banks now in the District, the
building being the first erected for a
bank and having a capital of $1,000,000
in 1892. President John Mason lived on
Analostan Island, in the acme of lux
ury and taste, according to the pro-
nouncement of a visiting duke The
Georgetown bank set the style for pub
lie building advertising, by having It's
name in huge wrought iron letters,
forming the balustrade above the en-
trance. When it was suspended in 1924
the building became the residence of
Mr.. Poe, who, finding the roof to be
made of pure copper, sold the same and
let the house pay for itself.
Suffers Tavern, rendezvous for
Maryland and Virginia travellers, and

the corner of Water and Cherry lane

the Waping Bridge over Rock Creek

is believed to have lived at 1047 Jeffer-
son street when he was Secretary of
State.

MILLS FLAYS PLAN
TO REVISE TARIFF
Senate Democrats Go Ahead With
Bill, Hoping to Force 1t Out
During Week.
~ the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Democrats of the Senate Finance
Committee heard the partys plan for
revising tariffs belabored yesterday from
two sources, but went ahead with plans
TO force it out next week for Senate
action.
Ogden l.. Mills, Undersecretary Of the
Treasury, spoke the administration OPP
position and described the provision of
the bill for international conferences
to remove trade barriers as a 'piouS
aspiration"
IF this provision means that the
tariff is too high, then it's Congress
job to bring in bill to reduce it, he
said as the hearing opened.
international conferences that reso-
lutte mean nothing"
He said the flexible revision Of rates
would be delayed by restoring to Con-
gress this control, now exercised by the
President.
James A. Emery counsel for the Ma
tional Manufacturers Association, teSti-
fed the bill "impairS, If it does not de-
stroy," the fundamental purpose Of the
flexible provision.
Under the measure, he said, no relief
could be obtained during aGjournments
of Congress. He suggested allowing
Tariff Commission recommendations
during such periods to become effective
within a certain time but committee
members said this would be unconsti-
tutional.
With the aid of the Republican indie
pendentS on the committee, the Demo-
Gratis believe they will get the measure
TO the Senate next week. Should the
Senate pass it, a presidential veto is
regarded as certain.

DEMOCRATIC SPLIT
HELD IMPENDING
New Hampshire Primary Seen
Testing Ground for Smith
and Roosevelt.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CONCORD, N. H, January 23.-NeW
Hampshire, which is to be political test
ing ground on March with the first
of the national presidential primaries,
heard distinct rumblings of a split in
its Democratic party today.
The mystery surrounding the politi-
cal intentions of Alfred E. Smith has
proved too much for some New Hamp-
shire leaders, and under present con-
ditions the party is heading toward q
test of strength between Smith and
Franklin D. Roosevelt on primary day.
If such develops, Democrats of the
first congressional district will, ObServ-
ers say. carry the brown derby symbol
while Roosevelt's supporters will come
from the second congressional dis
trict.
The power of the party in the first
district is now at its height, enthuSed by
its recent election of a Democratic
congressman, William N. Rogers, to
succeed a Republican Representative in
a normally Republican district.
Roosevelt Boom Under Way.
A definite Roosevelt boom has been
under way in New Hampshire for sew
eral weeks Numerous party leaders
have announced their intention of seek
ing his nomination.
Only the spoken word Of Mr.. Smith
can change the picture Party leaders
say that If he either remains silent or
approves of his name being placed be-
fore the State a party battle is sure
to develop. If he announces that he
is not in the field for the presidential
nomination, the organization in New
Hampshire will surely send a Roosevelt
pledged or an unpledged delegation to
Chicago
AS matters now stand both Smith
and Roosevelt are candidates as far
as New Hampshire's Democrats are
concerned. But it is in the first dis
trict that the Smith boom apparently
will either live or die. There his most
enthusiastic support is reported by the
partys forecaSters.
Conflict Over Choice.
Papers have been obtained by two
Manchester men to file for a slate of
convention delegates which would be
pledged to Smith.
But even Manchester, the largest city
of the State and the stronghold of
Democracy, is experiencing conflict on
the matter of choice. This was cli-
NAKED today by the announcements of
John S. Hurley and Timothy F. O'Con-
nor, heretofore ardent Smith support
ers, that they would support Roosevelt.
Hurley had voted for Smith at the ma
tional conventions in 1924 and 1928.
In spite of this move there are nu-
merous leaders in Manchester who are
willing to give Smith the same support
they gave him in 1928 Should both
Smith and Roosevelt delegates offer
themselves for approval at the primary
the cities of Nashua, Somersworth and
Dover would be inclined, in the opinion
of the leaders, to favor Smith, while
the second district Democrats would
show a preference for the Roosevelt
pledged delegates.

Associated Press Staff Writer.

| Issues of the 1882 presidential cam
paign may be still in the making. but
its personalities, however, short of some
/ wholly unforeseen circumstance. are al
ready walking the political boards, IA
miliar figures in the public eye.
And it is the personal traits of the
! two presidential nominees which largely
shape the manner and method of cam
| paigning.
At this distance the signs point to a
| Republican ticket of Hoover and Curtis.
! Self-eliminatiop of former President
Coolidge and former Vice President
! Dawes from the pre-convention contest
| for delegates narroWs the field of spec
ulation materially.
Hoover Dislikes Stump Speeches.
Assuming denomination Of Mr. Hoo
yer. his traits will dominate the 1892
Republican campaign, and the out
standing trait Mr. Hoover has disclosed
in public life has been his repugnance
to personal appearance before audi
enceS; his reliance upon the radio to
reach voters.
In the 1928 campaign Mr. Hoover
made very few campaign trips. AS
President he has stuck to his White
House desk-and to the radio-more
strictly than any recent predecessor.
Before a radio mike Mr.. Hoover
shows little sign of the disquiet which
appearance before an audience some
times seems to cause him.
Invariably he reads his speeches.
There is no record that he has ever
even revised in delivery the written
word.
He disclosed little sense Of contact
with his audience. An occasional rails
ing Of his eyes from the page before
him is his only concession to accepted
platform customs. He doesn't use geS-
lures and laundering tones to point
his words.
Johnson Scorns Written Speeches.
From which it is simple to deduce
that a Hoover campaign in 1882 would
be largely a counterpart of that he
made in 1923, except that the White
House would be his base. Most of the
personal contact work would be left to
the vice presidential nominee.
There could be no greater political
contrast than that offered by President
Hoover and Senator Hiram johnson of
California, possible challenger for the
1882 nomination. The Senator is a
fiery debater, swift of tongue, free in
gesture. He ScornS written speeches,
prideS himself on the accuracy of his
memory in weaving even statistical
data into his eXtemporaneous delivery.
The political platform is JChnson's
chosen forum; the response of an au-
dienCe to the emotional appeal he
throws into his argument a spur to
added effort.
Should johnson achieve a presiden-
tial nomination, his natural bent would
urge him to face-to-face contact with
audiences to the limit Of physical en-
durancc. He would be an utterly diff
ferent figure from any Republican
presidential nominee of recent times, a
stormy disciple of the strategy of
frontal attack. There could be no
front porch campaigning for him.
Turning to Democratic presidential
possibilities, Gov. Franklin D. Rose
welt of New York comes first as ac-
knowledged leader for the honor at this
time. Like johnson, he is at his best
before an audience. The JOY Of politi-
cal battle is on him. Audiences are
quick to sense that and respond
To Roosevelt, seen on the platform,
