1t is something of an unprece-
denied political spectacle for a
president to be attacked by the
two members of his party who,
just before him, won the presi-
dental nomination. Davis in 1924.
and Smith in 1928, led the Demo-
cratic party to disastrous defeats
at the polls and now lead the
charge against Roosevelt who, in
1882, led the party to an over
whelming triumph. Davis, of
course, has long been connected
with the conservative faction of
the Democrats, and no great sur
prise is occasioned by his attitude
toward the measures and policies
of the New Deal.

Comparative figures for 1884
show that the United States
spent $3.50, 900 for relief for
World War veterans, and that
Great Britain, Germany, France.
and Canada combined, spent only
1891, 10000. The figures are
even more remarkable when it Is
considered that the United States
mobilized 4,757,240 men compar-
ed with 34,244,636 for the five
nations mentioned. The American

subsequently, the new COVER
nor, it is reported, did not lean
very heavily upon Smith for ad-
vice. Anyhow, the intimacy be-
tween the two men became strain
ed, breaking down when there
was a distinct boom for Roose-
welt for the presidency in 1882.
At the Chicago convention of the
Democratic party in that year,
Roosevelt was bitterly fought by
the Smith phalanx which went
down in defeat when the McAdoo-
Garner cohorts turned to Roose-
welt. For a while Smiths course
was in doubt but, finally, he made

The Republican party, for the
most part, naturally is not worried
over the recent development.
Nothing but an advantage can
come to it through the detection
of a number of Democrats if the
party can name a candidate who
will units its factions and poll
something like the normal Repub-
lican vote. The blur in the pic
ture, however, is the division
that exists among Republicans, al
most as pronounced as it exists
among Democrats, between con-
servatives and liberals. There is
the difference of thought that
crystalizes to support the diver
gent political PHILOSOPHERS of b.
rah and Hoover. These two men
represent, to considerable de-
gree, the cleavage that divides
Republicans just as Roosevelt, on
one side, and Smith and Davis
on the other. represents a SINH
lar division of Democrats.

The case of Al Smith is differ
ent. Three times in as many con-
ventions, Franklin d. Roosevelt
nominated and fought for the Sc
lection of Smith as the presiden-
tial candidate of the Democratic
party. For years he was the trust
ed political friend of the man he
dubbed the Happy Warrior" In
1928, barely emerging from a sick
bed, he responded to the plea of
his friend Smith to run for the
governorship OF. New York against
the advice of some of his physi-
clans. The result, strange to say,
was that Roosevelt became gov
ernor of New York and Smith
failed to carry the Empire State
for the presidency. ser

The speech delivered by for
mer-Governor Alfred E. Smith be-
fore the Liberty League, if taken
at its face value, means his re-
fusal to support the Democratic
party in the next presidential
campaign. Stating very plainly
that if the Democratic Convention
endorses the present Democratic
Administration it will be neces-
sary for him and others who think
like him to "take on the mantle
of hypocrisy" or take a walk"
the former standard bearer of
the party gave plain notice of his
attitude. Any man as well versed
in political affairs as Smith knows
that the next Democratic Conven-
ton is going to endorse the ad-
ministration of President Roose-
welt and, therefore, the walk"
becomes a certainty unless he
changes his mind.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-02-07

The Smith speech clears the
political atmosphere to some ex-
tent, indicating definitely that
conservative Democrats will not
support the President for reelec-
ton. This is borne out by the
similar attack made upon the New
Deal by John w. Davis, the day
before the Smith speech, in which
Davis, another ex-presidential
candidate of the Democratic par
ty, scornfully denounced the pres
ent Administration, asserting that
it tended toward the establish
ment of an autocracy. The line of
attack is somewhat the same in
both speeches because Smith, in
closing his address, attempted to
set up a choice between Washing
ton and Moscow.

The division of thought that ex-
lists in each party is not as clear
cut as the above paragraph may
indicate but, basically and funda-
mentally, it is a fact. There is
undoubtedly more in common be-
tween the Roosevelt Democrats
and the Progressive Republicans
than there is between the liberal
and conservative factions of either
party. 1t is plain that the Presi-
dent counts heavily upon the sup
port of many Progressive Repub-
licans in his plans for the coming
campaign and that his hopes,
amounting almost to certain faith,
lie in the belief that he will Sc
cure the backing of the combined
Liberal Progressive forces.

At this time it is apparent that
a major regrouping of political
factors is in prospect. 1t can hard
ly be forestalled by the nomina-
ton of Liberal Republican,
which, today, seems out of the
question. With Roosevelt forcing
the Democrats to assume the Lib
eral position, the issue would be
clear-cut if the Republicans nom-
mate Conservative and the peo-
pie Of the country would have to
make a distinct choice. The choice,
it appears, will also be offered in
the unexpected event that the
Republicans nominate a pronounc-
ed Liberal of the Borah type for,
in that event it may be written
down as certain that a Conserva-
tive flag will be raised by organ
izations like the Liberty League
and that a vigorous campaign will
be launched for third candidate.
In this contingency, with Liberals
split between the old parties, it
is possibility that the United
States will see a third party sue
cessful for the first time in its
history and the political shake
down that will follow win inev-
itably cause a new political line
up.

BY GINO SIM

Hot-handed" boWlerS win
sweepstakes. That's automatic in
the bowling world.
And any bowler can get hot
hand" Every one of the half hun
dred shooters who will be battling
for the sixth annual Washington
Times Mems Dixie Sweepstakes
crown Saturday has had not one
but a dozen "hot-hand" moments
when they could have taken the
best in the country over the
jumps.
And so when the field lines up
and the laundering crescendo of
falling naples affrays the ears,
every man will be potential
champion.
First Game No Help
Even after the first game be.
comes history, the experts will
have little to null over in their
anxiety to fix their glimS on a
dozen leaders or so. For the first
five games at the Arcadia leaders
will change constantly. During
the second five games, which will
be at Convention Hall, the field
will begin to string out a bit and
an idea can be cleaned as to who
is "hot" and making the strongest
bid for the title. But it isn't until
the stretch drive, the last five
games, which will be rolled at
Lucky Strike, when the chaps with
the "scorching mitts" settle down
to wear each other down for the
final few steps.
Sometimes a bowler is so far
ahead of the field at the end of 10
games that he coasts in, though a
"hot-handed" bowler coasting in
isn't leaving much for rivals to be
pleased over.
Barnes Burns Drives
Ray Barnes burned up the drives
the first two sets in 1882 and then
let up a bit only to find that Red
Megaw was charging down the
line, and actually snatched the
lead away from him halfway
through the final game, when
Barnes threw in a double-header
strike and a fat count to win out
by 10 sticks. Bill Arnold in 1884
climbed into the drivers seat at
the end of 10 games and then kept
up a nip and tuck battle with his
fellow townSman, Gordon Scible,
until the final few boxes to grab
the crown.
Astor Clarke breezed home in
1888 with a tremendous 718 set, 78
pins ahead of Brad Mandley, while
Joe Freschi last year also did his
best work in the final set, rolling
709, to walk home with the bacon.
Thriller of Thrillers
The first year provided the
thriller of them all when Barnes,
apparently home and safe, watched
Ollie Pacini rip off several marks,
including final box and eight
count to annex first place by four
pins!
Yes, it takes "hot hand" to win
a sweepstakes, but it must last. Or
at least the other fellow mustn't t
get hotter toward the end.
