A Lively Session

Prospects of lively session at the DEM
ocratic state convention the middle of May
looms as result of the eaucuses and pri-
maries held this week. 1t is apparent that
the advice of Governor Cross relative to
divided delegation between Roosevelt and
Smith may eventually have to be adopted.
If there is any evident difference of strength
between the two elements supporting the
candidates. of the two New Workers it is
very slight. The balance, one way or the
other, will rest in the hands of those dele
gates who are going to the state convention
uninstrueted
1t is a matter of much elation in republic
can circles that the democratic party through
out the nation is frlttering away its pre-
convention chances by display of faction
alism. They expect a duplication of the
1924 Madison Square Garden fiasco when
the deadlock between Smith and McAdoo
was solved by the nomination of John w.
Davis, presidential candidate of calibre
reached by few of the aspirants of the last
decade and. regarded as the equal of many
man who has sat in the White House of
recent years. That. however, failed to make
much of an impression upon the public.
The republicans have failed to recall the
dire predictions that they were making in
1923 when it was SO evident that Herbert
Hoover was to be the candidate of the
party. Yet when convention time rolled
around MIR Hoover was nominated without
much trouble, although the cop. state
chairman from connecticut persisted in in
sisting that Calvin Coolidge be renominated.
We think he still prefers Coolidge to Hoover,
but doesn't care to express himself in such
a way as to indicate lack of confidence
in the present incumbent. There are many
republicans in that category, too.
All of which means that it will take
pretty serious rupture in democratic ranks
to bring about such decided change of
public opinion that Mr. Hoover can sweep
back into office. Regardless of the Roose-
velt-Smith ruction, which our republican
brethren regard as the breaking up of the
good ship democracy upon the rocks, we
think that the democratic party is going
into the 1882 election even more than the
favorite it seemed to be in 1928. The
republican eandidate-to-be is outweighed
by any number of the potential democrats
More than pre-convention fight is need
ed TO balance this discrepancy So even if
connecticut is divided between Smith and
Roosevelt. we have not handed the 1882
election to the republicans on silver
platter.
