Al Smith will oeny it, but he may be
the next mayor of New York.
Every one who knows anything about
politics here comedies that Mayor La
Guardia is through. No Fusion mayor
ever lasted more than one term. Tam
many can be defeated only when there
is q whooping insurrection on. Every
thing now is getting back to normal.
At the same time the wigwam chiefs
are talking about the ACCESSIBILITY OF
putting forward an outstanding cand,-
date. The city government organiza-
ton is upset with newcomers and in
novations. Tammany wants some one
who can fix things up. Smith is about
the only one in sight who can do it.
The plan OF the Tammany
chiefs Is to get on the right side
OF him some morning und make
it duty for him to accept. He
probably Dil this time.
Al Ahead Of His Time.
Whatever you may have heard that
Al Smith is supposed to have said pri-
vately about President Roosevelt is
undoubtedly true. It appears Mr.
Smith has said nearly everything. And
in case he forgets on occasions there
are members of his family who will
refresh his memory.
AIS friends are now sadly referring
to him again as the man who lived
ahead Of his time" He vas wet before
it was popular. He struck the first
blow at the New Deal, when It wasn't
cricket II he were editing That maga-
zine now he would be riding . surf
board. But then he would not be Al
Smith.
Note-M probably will not speak fol
or against any one tn the coming
presidential campaign.

It Is likewise true that the cal

been an academic move, as there Is
little or no demand.

Democrats Regard New

N YEW YORK, November THE
M significant background slant
" on the New York election IS
L that, unlike Rhode Island, it
was conducted under the best possible
technical conditions for the New Deal.
The Democratic organization in this
State is in better shape than it ever
has been in history. 1t has good city
machines upstate where none existed
before. The Republican organization
is split more ways than a cafeteria
pie 1t has been especially unspec-
tacular upstate. where eight of the
nine new Republican Assembly seats
were gained.
Astute non-partisan politicos
here enignlatically call the result
"a normal upset" What they mean
is that In of years the parties tn
po1Uer usually are expected to SUI
fer; that the apportionn1ent OF the
Legislature tapors the normally
Republican regions upstate.
Republicans logically are calling the
result reputation of the New Deal;
Democrats have found good afibis In
the popular vote. That debate may
not be settled until next November
but it is giving New Dealers far more
to think about than their public state
meuts may indicate.
Farley Is Surprised.
The only real surprise to Jim Far.
ley's insiders was the Philadelphia
mayoralty result. They had heard
from Senator Guffey and others that
they had a real chance to offset the

into it.
Students of trends will 60 into the
mayoralty results more than the
others. These results in New Yorl
State, New Jersey. Pennsylvania ane
New England indicate that the ma.
tional Democratic organization has
lost the cooperation of dominant
local powers for the presidential elec.

blow at the base of the machine
which cannot be offset.
