WASHINGTON. Sept. 70 -
w Much is being made OF the
increasingly large crowds Dewey
drew in Roosevelt territory on
his western swing - $4,000
greeted him in San Francisco
and 93,427, they say. heard him
at Los Angeles.
Som OF the Republican
maestros are interpreting this as
sure indication of rise in
Dewey sentiment. but long ago
! lost full faith in the certainty
of crowd figures as vote indica-
tors. Not half the people who
cheered Al Smith. for instance,
voted for him.
But the Dewey crowd figures
do add verification 10 other indi-
cations that political apathy is
coming 10 an end.
True enough Mr.. Roosevelt
did not contribute much interest
TO the campaign in his opening
speech TO the teamsters. He
showed good humor and irony
but raised no new issues TO
awaken enthusiasm.
Dewey's speeches. on the
other hand, are drawing increas-
ing comment and discussion
because he is making news.
7 NEVER thought apathy was
i the right word for the atti-
tude Of the people. The people
lust did not know Dewey. and
did not like Roosevelt. At least
they did not know Deweys full
philosophy. exactly what alter
native he would offer the coun-
try, and the New Deal. which
Mr.. Roosevelt developed, had
grown unpopular with the
country.
Even Mr.. Roosovelt's follow
ers have been displeased with a
great many things he did.
At any rate the Democratic
campaign has largely been in
side organizing. which their
leaders seem 10 think will do
the trick for them this fourth
time. without rousing much out
side enthusiasm.
II is true the polls have
shown no more than 8 per cent
doubtful on an average, but l
suspect that in political sit
uation like this one there are
a great number of people who
may not be telling how they in
tend 10 vote until they get
their pencils in hand in the

In the AL Smith campaign of

leaders, industrialists and business
represent atives sat down to con-

was apparent from the first that
