POLITICS AWAITS
SMITHS ADDRESS
Role in Campaign Hinges on
Attitude-NeW Dealers
Anticipate Breach.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Hostilities between the New Deal
ard the American Liberty League in
tensified today on the eve of an AL
fred E. Smith speech which is expected
to give at least broad hint as to
Smiths role in the presidential cam
paign.
Will Smith wage war to the hilt on
the administration, or will he adopt
a policy Of frigid silence with regard
to the drive to re-elect President
Roosevelt?
Politicians believe the answer may
be indicated In the address the former
New York Governor will make to a
Liberty League dinner here tomorrow
night.
Even before the dinner, New Dealers
began to hammer at its leading back
ers. Using words seldom invoked in
the Senate, Senator Schwellenbach,
Democrat. of Washington declared
yesterday that Smith, as a charter
member Of the league, was surrounded
by "rascals, crooks, leeches and blood
suckers"
Fraud Charges Repeated.
John J. Raskob, Democratic chair
man for Smiths 1928 campaign for
the presidency, and Pierre du Pont OF
Delaware were singled out by Schwell-
enbach for denunciation. Mentioning
the income tax controversy between
them and the Government, he charged
they sought Ito defraud."
Recalling the years in which Mr.
Roosevelt supported Smith for the
presidency, Schwellenbach cautioned:
mo man can successfully turn his
back on a friend"
Anti-New Dealers looked to a
speech by John w. Davis in New York
tonight for elaboration Of their charges
against the administration.
Conjecture about Smiths inten-
tions revolved today around four prin-
cipal questions:
l. Will he undertake to capture the
Philadelphia convention?
2. That idea discarded, will be CO.
operate with third party movement
or Independent tickets in key States
3. Will he support the Republican
nominee on grounds Of principle?
4. Or will he refrain from active
participation in the campaign.
Practical Difficulties Seen.
Concerning the first, practical diff
culties arising from the advantage in
herent in administration control OF
the organization are obvious.
On the second, some disaffected
Democrats were known to be discuss
ing means for making themselves felt
without joining the traditional party
enemy.
As for the third, the general i'm
preston was that Smith would hold
off from saying at this time whether
he would or would not prefer a
Republican to Roosevelt.
Finally, some rumors had it that
he would emphatically assert his views
between now and convention time,
but possibly go abroad during the ac-
tual campaign.
The address will be extemporaneous.
Applications for the s5 dinner tickets
are said to exceed 5000. OF which
only 1000 can be accommodated. The
league said every State will be repre-
sented.

Townsendites are on the up. The
movement is comparatively new in these
regions and still has the advantage Of
fresh appeal. Such an educational
leader as the assistant superintendent
Of schools in Boston (Dr. Frederick
Gillis) came out for the plan q few
days ago, although he doubted its
feasibility word-at the pres
ent time.
The fact seems to be that the Town
sendites will be q surging political in
duence In the developing presidential
campaign. but not q dominant one.
Prof Frankfurter Retiring.
The most thoroughly retired Of all
retiring Bostonians Is probably the
most influential one-Prof. Frank
furter. His advisory relationship with
the President is confidential, and he
lives his life accordingly.
He handles his classes daily at
the Harpdrd University LGio School,
slips Of to Washington .occaston-
ally, getting In and out Of the
White House tDtthout publicity.
There are also telephones avail-
able to be used. With It all, he
liues In the cloistered seclusion OF
the condolences OF his clique OF
friends here, in New York and
Washington, all the young lawyers
he has helpe ddlong.
He does not talk freely with news
men, even to two Of his good friends
ON Boston papers. Concerning polit-
ical-economic subjects, he lets his
books speak for him, and they speak
loudly enough. He is highly re-
spected locally, even by his political
adversaries
No national political character has
been 30 elusive since Col. House func-
toned In . somewhat similar, but
more oiicial, way for woodrow Wilson.
The New Dealers wrote New Eng
land on Is Q total loss last November.
The Literary Digest poll showed
roughly 70 per cent Of this populous
section against. Even so. this does
not close the book as far as next
November's personalities are CON-
cerned. A recount will be necessary
before then, after such unknown fac
tors as Curley. Al Smith and the Re-
publican candidate are developed more
clearly.

~ OSTON, January "a (N.AN.A) 1.
* "A rumor has swept this Sec
ton that AL Smith will ease
- his punches in his Liberty
League speech Saturday night. It
seems to be a top tip in Upper New
York State and Massachusetts,.
One Of AIS closest friends here says,
of the record:
Advance publicity on the speech

sibly live up to expectations. But AL
has pulled very few punches In his
life.
"Iis speech will burn his Roose-

You can mark it down In your
hat that the Republican delegation
from Massachusetts ,0iu be un.
pledged. The most eminent au-
thorities here hare passed tDord
doWn the line to that effect. There ,
seems to be no disagreement.
But this is one spot where an un-
instructed delegation will not be COW
ertly for Hoover. The boys have de-
cided that emphatically also.
Behind these unpledged Republican
prospects you will find the essential
hidden weakness of the Republicans.
which is not confined to New England.
Personality Lacking.
