 A common four-letter noun as in the picturesque vocabulary of Alfred E. Smith, is causing Democra- tic crossword puzzle ex- perts more trouble than any other million words in the dictionary.
 So flexible is the langu- age of politics that there are a dozen guesses what Smith really meant when he told the Liberty Leagu- CTS he expected to take a walk if the Democratic National Convention endor sed the record of the RooSe velt Administration.
 Where is the walk to take place. how long will it last, in what direction will it lead, and where will it end?
 Did he mean it in the phy sical sense, and does he plan to attend the conven- ton, oppose such an en- dOrsement, and then walk out to the dramatic accom- paniment of cheers and jeers when he loses the fight?
 Will he walk up the gang plank of an outgoing stea' mer, and while away the campaign in silence and sightseeing? If he remains on American soil, will his footsteps lead him only a. round his familiar haunts  in New York State, or a. long the trail of national

memory of his declaration will remain a factor in the campaign.
 Beyond that, it is any body's guess what he will do, what form of walking he will adopt. The guess of some of his intimates is that he himself does not know. By a single word, capable of many interpre7 tations, he has made him. self a center of supreme curiosity.
 Al Smith has had many colorful experiences with the English language. but none more interesting than this. Nor has any party been thrown into a similar dither of argument over the significance of a word since MT. Coolidge handed the Republicans that fam ous siX-letter-verb in his "I do-not-choose-to-run" state ment in 1928.

Definitions Don't Help.

Standard definitions of the word do not help greatly. The term walk, says the dictionary, is used to de- note the primitive method of locomotion used by the terrestrial vertebrates.'
 Further down a walk is described as an advance movement in which one foot is always on the gro und." A walk also is "the act of walking for enjoy ment or healthful recrea- tion.'
 There is listed the walk of life" meaning "chosen profession or haDltual Sph- ere of action; but Mir. has taken the precau tion to declare beforehand he will not become an hab- itual walker. He says he aYpects to die a Democrat.

Break Believed Complete

Certainly the least MT. Smith can mean is that he will not give the customary salute when, as forecast by all present expectations, the national convention re- nominates MT. Roosevelt and comments his admins tration in glowing words.
 In that respect, the break would seem to be complete. Among the congratulatory messages to the nominee no one will look for one from E. E. Smith; nor will that name be included in any list of campaigners for the Democratic ticket.
 Smith has made known his displeasure in words which can be understood without consulting the dic- tlonary. Even if he now becomes entirely silent, the

 Will he walk into the Re- publican Party for the time being, or will he walk at the head of an independent party?
 Or, finally, will he mere ly walk around the block, as he did after the Roose- welt nomination in 1882, and be back in his accus- toned place before election day?

author has headed the militant
EPIC branch of the California
Democratic party. Only last week
he was a nominal candidate for
president on the Democratic ticket
in California's primary, in opposi-
ton to the regular" slate headed
by President Roosevelt.
Sinclair blamed the small vote
he polled in the primary to revolts
within the EPIC ranks and lack OF
funds with which to educate the
voters that EPICs did not oppose
President Roosevelt but merely put
him up as a protest.
Il am tired of revolts within the
EPIC ranks; revolts sponsored by
persons who have no purpose but
to disrupt the EPIC group Sin
clair said II am through as a
political figure and as politician.
I intend to concentrate on writing
hereafter"
Sinclair announced his decision
personally at the EPIC headquarters
here during a meeting which was
called in an attempt to unite sew
eral liberal groups into one body
strong enough to influence election
Of state officials sympathetic to
their views.
Sinclair's political career reach
ed its zenith IN 1884 when he car
ried off the Democratic guberna-
torial election and put up a strong
fight in the runoff against Gov.
