the first place. When on February 8 he
announced that he was willing to ac-
cept the nomination If the Democratic
National Convention should select him
as the party standard bearer again, he
also said that he would make no cam
paign for delegates. This was taken in
many quarters to mean that he was not
really candidate after ALL
Whether this late active entry of Mr.
Smith, through his friends, into the
fight for the presidential nomination
will have an effect on the situation Is
difficult to forecast. 1t will certaink
put vigor into the efforts of his sup
porters in some of the States. On the
other hand, it is likely to add to the
determination of many OF his op-
ponents not to permit Mr.. Smith to
become a serious contender for the
nomination. To those politicians and
observers who read the signs, however,
Smith has never been and never can
be successful candidate for the presi-
ALAltAoA AIllo yCdl- no N0CA-
ator Pit.man indicated in his inter-
view urging withdrawal of Mr.. Smiths
candidacy, his nominatio is not in
the cards in 1882.
Mr.. Smith is irked because Of the
frequent reports that he is a stalking
horse" merely in the race to head off
the nomination of Roosevelt or to aid
the Roosevelt candidacy. Naturally he
does not like to appear in such role.
But whether he likes it or not, it is
role that many of the antiRoossvelt
Democrats have forced upon him. They
admit that Mr.. Smith has no chance of
nomination, but insist that he will serve
their purpose by taking many delegates
from the Roosevelt group, delegates
who otherwise might have been pledged
to the New York Governor. His entry
into the race was hailed by these anti
Roosevelt Democrats as great step in
the movement to stop Roosevelt" AS
a matter of fact, Smiths entry into the
race has merely resulted In giving
Roosevelt a greater and still q eater
boost for the nomination.
The suggestion emanating from some
quarters that Smith is stalking horse
to aid the Roosevelt candidacy must
give these opponents of Roosevelt a
laugh. Smith and Roosevelt lock horns
again in the Massachusetts, and Penn
sylvania primaries on April 26, Many
of the Democrats who have espoused
Smiths cause in Massachusetts, are
heartily sick Of the whole business.
They have seen the Smith, Roosevelt
contest in their State threatening to
smash the Democratic party to smith
Greens, and they do not like it. They
may carry the State primaries for
Smith, as they are expected to do, but
they look with dread on what may hap
pen in Massachusetts, in November be-
cause of the present intra party war
fare. Even if Smith wins a majority of
the delegates in Massachusetts,, he is
likely to lose the great bulk of dele
gates In Pennsylvania. and Pennsyl-
vania has twice as many delegates as
Massachusetts. SO far Mr.. Smith has
succeeded in having one single dele
gate pledged to him. Not much Of a
showing.

Proper Salute to Flag
Is Cup TO Individual''
To the Editor of The Star:


Your editorial about the lack OF
proper salute to the flag of our country
is timely, but, like the story-teller in
Webster's cartoon, nothing can be done
about it."
The public's apparent indifference is,
perhaps. due to neglect of proper train
ing while young and In school on the
part of those In charge of them. But
you must not single out the good people
of Washington or its excellent police
force in point of numbers as negligent
in the matter.

York of some 10000 policemen there
We're probably 1000 or more American
flags in the parade, and while some

\ Opposed to Gambling

: NEW YORK, Sept. 81
NLN.S.).-As tending to show
that Senator James j. Davis of
Pennsylvania, director general
of the Loyal Order Of Moose,
was the "Mussolini" of the
order, the address of the Sena-
tor before the Atlantic City
1881 Moose convention was in
PRODUCED today into evidence
by the Government at the trial
Of the Senator on charges of
violation of the Federal lottery
laws.
Senator Davis, in his conven-
ton address, outlined his close
supervision of the affairs of the
order and the time it had taken
from his positions in public life
as Secretary of Labor and as a
Senator.
II have kept in contact with
every detail of Moose work."
This was quoted from the ad-
dress in which he listed the COM
mittee and board meetings Of
the order he attended and cited
visits made to individual lodges.

Senator Davis, in his address,
declared that he did not receive
any salary as director-general.
He said that as far as monetary
return was concerned it was a
"poor return for my Is years Of
work for the order"
The Government prosecutor

not contain reference to the
contract which Davis held with
the Loyal Order of Moose.

into evidence, Senator Davis was
permitted to retain the initiation
fees of all new members he pro-
cured for the order.
