Al SMITH MAY YET
PLAY LEADING ROLE
Possibility Seen That Former
Governor viii Be Dramatic
r. Figure in Campaign.

The rift between Al Smith and Gov.
and election day, but it will not be be-
cause of any mediation or good Offices
OIL the part of the Republicans.
The Republican strategy now is to
drive deeper the wedge between the
Governor and former Governor and to
pour salt on the political wounds of
1924 and 1882 by reminding the Smith
supporters that John N Garner voted
to omit mentioning the Klan by name
at the Madison Square Garden conven-
ton and also recalling again and again
Mr.. Gamers telephone habits, which
precluded him from answering Al
Smiths long distance call after 6
o'clock on one of the fateful days of
the Chicago convention last June.
Worried by Defections.
The Democratic leaders are we'll
aware of the cost of the defections over
the Smith Roosevelt feud and they are
disturbed because in the straw votes,
which generally seem to favor the
Democratic nominee. he is running be-
hind Mr.. Hoover in Smiths strongholds,
like Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.
There is nothing the Democrats can
do about it except to cajole and coax
Mr.. Smith back into camp, which, of
course. they are doing right along In
fact, they hope that when Lieut.. Gov.
Lehman becomes the Democratic NOM
inee for Governor Mr. Smith will come
out for him and openly campaign for
the ticket.
1t begins to look, however, as if the
election is going to be decided on other
than personal issues anyway, and that
II the Roosevelt tide Is what his man
ayers think 1t really is. they can afford
to lose much of the discontented Smith
vote and still win out. Only in close
election would the shifting of a group
such as is supposed to be off the
Roosevelt reservation be sufficient to
hold the balance Of power.
May Hold Dramatic Place.
The economic situation in the coun-
try this Autumn and during the last
two years will furnish the basis for
most of the voting. according to pres
ent indications. The Roosevelt candi-
dacy has the benefit of the discomfort
and it is conceded to be considerable.
Only if there is a noticeable change
in the next two months in public SEN
timent can the Roosevelt lead be over
come anyway.
So the effect of the Smith contro-
versy can hardly be appraised at this
time and it is conceivable that last
minute effort will be made to swing
him into line, in which case he may
become the dramatic figure in the
center of the political stage in the last
days Of the campaign. D. L.

Hoover Orders Governor Gen.
eral to Remain on Duty
in Philippines.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
MANILA, August 31-Gov Gen.
Theodore Roosevc': today Cancelled
plans to participate in the Republican
presidential campaign because of the
press of official duties and advice from
Washington that he remain here.
Announcement of the cancellation
was made after Gov. Roosevelt had re-
ceived q cablegram from Secretary Of
War Patrick J. Hurley saying President
Hoover thought it best he remain in the
Philippine Islands.
Hurley's Cablegram.
For several weeks the insular Legis-
lature has been struggling to balance
the budget and reorganize the govern
ment, and Gov. Roosevelt has indicated
he was loath to leave under those con-
ditions. He is known to have advised
Republican chieftains against the trip.
The cablegram from Secretary Hur-
ley, made public by the Governor, said:
After full consideration of the stu
alton as presented by you, the President
has reached the conclusion that you
should not leave your duties as Cover
nor General for the purpose OF partici-
pating in the campaign in the United
States.
He has therefore asked me to adVlSe
you that under all circumstances he
believes it to be your duty to remain
at your post"
Gov. Roosevelt characterized Presi-
dent Hoover's suggestion as striking
illustration" of his devotion to public
service and interest in the Philippines.
Man America Needs"
"He is the man America needs and
must have as President in this moment
Of national emergency" the Governor
General said.
Some criticism of the proposed trip
was made shortly after Gov Roosevelt
announced it August %. The Manila
Daily Bulletin, American-owned news
paper, and officials of the American
Chamber of Commerce were in the main
opponents, basing their objections
chiefly on Gov. Roosevelt'S leaving the
islands after only six months resi-
dence.
No criticism Of the proposed trip was
made by Filipino leaders. They had
offered to try to have important legis-
lation ready for the Governors sigma
ture before he left.

Judd had lighted a fire close to the great

no doubt is an outgrowth Of the presidential
convention. Each State delegation sits on the
convention floor under q standard with the
States name inscribed, 50 that they can be
easily located and identified. 1t Is this stand
ard. when carried which indicates how the
State delegates will probably vote after candi-
date has been placed in nomination. The
standard is usually lifted from its resting place

indicating that that State which Is inscribed
