had been nominated and wrote his speech ac-

convention which had named him. Here was
something new, something dramatic. Not the
kind Of thing that weakling could do. His
next step was to decide that he would make
campaign trip to the Pacific Coast. He did so
over the opposition a Farley and all the rest
of his advisers. This trip would have worn out
many a robust man-indeed it did wear out
lot of them. Mr.. Roosevelt however. came
back to the East smiling and in the pink OF

in many of the States of the West where fac

Huge crowds turned out to see Roosevelt on
his Western tour Millions of the people who
saw him had voted the Republican ticket four

Three major campaign trips Mr. Roosevelt
made before the election was held, going q
second time into the West and also into the
South, winding up with swing through New
England which he made by automobile. And
a few days before election. in New York he
still looked in prime condition and ready for q
fight.
While Mr.. Roosevelt was in the West and
even later, the storm clouds still hung over
New York and the New England States, not to
mention New jersey AL Smith had resisted
all efforts Of the Democratic nominee He had
given up, if he ever had it, all idea of running
as an Independent candidate soon after the
Democratic National Convention had closed.
But Mr.. Smith had his own ideas about how
he had been treated. Vice President Garner
then Speaker and the running mate of Mr.
Roosevelt-visited him in New York in an ef-
fort to bring about reconciliation, and Smith
had barked at him that he, Smith, did not like
the way the Roosevelt nomination had been
brought about. Nevertheless Mr.. Garner came
away insisting that in the end Smith would be
out fighting for the Democratic national ticket.
And Mr. Garner was right. But not until
the first Of october and the Democratic State
Convention in Albany did Smith offer his hand
to the nominee and dub him Prank" and "old
potato" Smith and Roosevelt were deter
mined that Lieut.. Gov. Lehman should be the
Democratic nominee for Governor. notwith-
standing the opposition of John F. Curry. head
of Tammany Hail. and his allies upstate.
This really brought the two, Roosevelt and
Smith, together once more. And after that
Smith eased into actual support of the Roose-

only danger after that victory lay in the possi-
bility that Alfred E. Smith, former Governor
of New York might head an Independent
Democratic ticket and split the party wide open,
as the late Theodore Roosevelt split the G. o. r.

with William Gibbs McAdoo, the new Senator
from California, who headed his States Cee-

given more easily his defeat by Roosevelt in
the convention had it not been for the man

he would speak plenty loud enough to make

to go through to the end-the end being the

interests of the party above lactionalism when
they declined to adhere to this coalition. Ger
