DEMOCRATIC SPLIT
SEEN IN CALIFORNIA
Hoover Believed Certain to
Carry State According to
Primary Result.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

California has always been counted
by the Hoover forces as sure to pass
the electoral ballot in the Republican
column this Autumn, but the primary
contest yesterday has furnished even
more convincing evidence on this
point At least, that is the way the
Republican managers figure it out.
The Democratic contest for the
United States Senate, won by William
G, McAdoo, is expected to split the
Epemocratic party in the State. AL
though former Gov Smith denied he
had sent word to his friends in Cali
fornia to oppose McAdoo. it is taken for
granted that in the final contest most
of the Smith supporters will desert the
ticket.
Normally San Francisco can be ex-
pected to give a Democratic candidate
a substantial vote. But the events at
the Chicago convention have started a
cleavage in the party which is expected
to insure the election of a Republican
Senator irrespective of whether Senator
Shortridge, who was trailing his op-
ponent in the latest returns, is the
nominee.
State Regarded Puzzle.
California has been a puzzle ever
since it voted against Roosevelt and in
favor CT Garner in the primaries. When
California swung to Roosevelt at the
Chicago convention there were two fac
tions in the Democratic party which
were not as easily reccnciled as the
leaders who pulled the strings In a
State which preferred Garner to Roose-
velt originally on the Democratic side,
and now has the Smith feud against
McAdoo to add to the complication,
there is increased probability that Cali
for1lia, which has been claiming Herbert
Hoover ever since his youth, will swing
into the Republican column with Its
large electoral vote.
In 1928 California had only 13 cleo
toral votes. Due to the reapportion-
ment she has gained nine votes and
will cast her ballot of % for the first
time, thus ranging herself alongside
the big States in the East. California S
strength in the electoral college is
exceeded now only by Illinois, New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas.
California made a difference in the
1916 election and in the event of a
close contest again this time her addi-
tional nine votes would make an even
greater difference.
GrOW.n OF factlOnallSm Seen.
The factionalism of the Democratic
party is likely to grow instead of di-
minish because of McAdoo's promi-
nence in the situation. The Smith
people charge him with having brought
about the defeat of their idol at Chi
cago.
Naturally McAdoo in his campaign i.
! going to urge the election of Roosevelt
| for whose nomination he feels a per.
sonal responsibility. If, therefore, the
Smith Democrats wish to punish Nc.
| Adoo they will not only vote against him
for the Senate, but against Roosevelt
as well-a situation somewhat parable
to that which is developing in Massa.
chusetts and Rhode Island
The registration in the Republican
primaries in California was SO much
! greater than the Democratic that lead.
ers OF the Republican party here art
convinced all the signs point to Cali.
