gone deep among Democrats all over
the country. BY peace at any price"
they mean the nomination of Rooae Welt.
They think the Democrats can win the
election this year with any good nomi-
nee; they think that Roosevelt is at tha
least good enough, and they have COM
mltted themSelI eS, or wish to commit
themselves, to Roosevelt II only because
he is the leading aspirait. They tend
to regard the nomination OF Roosevelt
as a kind Of foreordained program.
teeli~3 z this way, they may resent
Smit- action as an uncalled-tor inter
feren with course which has fair
prospect Of party success.
The Democrats who feel this way are
the little local leaders and workers. If
the primaries are determined by these.
they are apt to favor Roosevelt II,
however, the primaries enlist partici-
patton Of the rank and file of Demo-
cratic voters, the outcome may be diff
ferent. In Massachusetts, for example,
Smith has a much larger personal fol-

Roosevelt Nevertheless, if the decision
were left to the net judgment of local
party leaders, they would favor nomi-
mating Roosevelt as a kind of easiest

All these speculations Will be an
swered when the primaries come. For
the present the net Judgment Of the

that Roosevelt and Smith have can

Argument Is Convincing.

The argument for this judgment Is
pretty convincing. In Democratic con-
VentionS, one-thlrd the delegates can
vote a nomination. 1t Is certain that
Smith, with others who will cooperate
with him. will have more than third
of the delegates, and can thereby pre-
vent the nomination Of Roosevelt. 1t
is equally certain that Roosevelt will
have more than a third Of the dele
gates, and can thereby prevent the
nomination of Smith. From now on,
according to an easily understood axiom
of convention psychology, every Roose-
welt delegate will have as his first pur-
pose, of course, the nomination OF
Roosevelt. Failing that, he will have,
as his second purpose. prevention of
the nomination of Smith. 1t would
seem as If Roosevelt and Smith are now
both eliminated, and that the nomina-
ton should go to some one OF the re-
naming rather large field.
This is the immediate view about
Smiths action as of today. 1t remains
TO be seen just how many delegates will
accrue to Smith as the result Of his
curiously worded expression of willing
ness to have delegates elected in his
behalf. 1t remains to be seen just
how strong Roosevelt is. The year
OT HlUIe VI NClh tlldI has DCcll pul
behind the Roo eVelt movement may
have gone deeper than IS now realized
1t may be that many Democrats who
are devoted to Smith will nevertheless
be unwilling to elect delegates in
Smiths behalf for a merely negative
purpose. The test Of all this will come
in the primaries in the Eastern States
which begin in New HampShire on
March 8. If in New Hampshire, MaSsa-
chusettS and Pennsylvania. Roosevelt
gets all or nearly all the delegates, then
he will still be formidable, and Smith S
action will have been largely in vain If.
however. Smith gets any considerable
proportion of the delegates IN these
States, then Roosevelt Is surely stopped.
Peace Move Deep Set.
The weakness Of Smiths position is
that he is not free to say he IS opposed
t to Roosevelt. Everybody understands
that to be Smiths attitude. but Smith
does not say So Assuming. as every
| one does, that Smith is opposed to
Roosevelt, his further weakness is that
he does not feel free to give the reasons

not be the best nominee. Lacking that,

follow his lead.

SMITH MOVE HELD
SE[F-EL|M|NAT|0N
Many Believe Neither New
York Candidate Can Win
Necessary Two-Thirds.
BY MARK SULLIVAN.

The best opinion of politicians about
ex-Gov Smiths action Is that he does
not expect the nomination himself, that
by virtue of being the titular leader OF
the party he proposes to take a strong
hand in the coming convention both as
respects nominee and platform, that
for the furtherance Of this purpose
Smith hopes his friends will elect as
many delegates as possible who will fol-
low Smiths leadership, and finally that
Smith is opposed to the nomination
going to Gov. Roosevelt Of New York,
the last point is not put in words by
Smith. but practically everybody at
tributes that position to him.
As to whether Smiths present action
will prevent the nomination Of Roose-
welt, the prevailing opinion is 1t will. BY
reason of the franchise Smith now gives
to his friends, many delegates will be
elected favorable to Smith who other
wise would have been for Roosevelt. De-
cidedly the best qualifled judgment IS
that Smiths action renders impossible
the nomination of either Roosevelt or
Smith, and throws the held wide open
to all the other aSpiranrS.
