 He was so near absolute victory, and yet with such dangerous ter ritory just ahead. that every move on both sides assumed great im- portance.
 Into this dramatic situation ad- vanced to-day the magic figure of Smith--the "happy warrior" of other days, the man who four years ago, despite humiliating de- feat in the electoral college. drew more democratic votes than any human being had ever received, 15.000,000 of them.

nonic issues.
