(Chicago Tribune) Gov. Al Smith of New York has carried the Democratic primaries in California against Senator Reed of Missouri and Senator Walsh Mr. Walsh was entered by Mr. McAdoo to stop Smith. Both are Catholics. A Returns at this writing indicate that not only Smith but Reed, also wet, beat McAdoo's dry candidate. It had been expected that Smith would be leading the ficld of Democratic candidates when the convention opened, but that even with this advantage might make only a good miss at the nomination. From day to day as primaries are held and delegates elected this feeling that the New Yorker will have a fine run and get nowhere is giving way to the opinion that the Democrats have their candidate and their issue. For one thing their politicians believe that they have not a ghost of a show in the election without Smith, and that the rejection of the strongest candidate by the convention either on the score of religion or of opposition to pro- hibition might break the party. consequence is the belief of the party leaders that they might win a national election with a wet, although he must encounter some religious Smith is wet. When a man opposed to Volsteadism can carry the party not only in California and other states but even in Iowa, as Smith did, it is a sign of impatience with government under pro- hibition. Iowa is in the heart of a region sup- posed to be so dry that it was not an issue of party differences. In Ohio Democrats say that Smith can have the state delegation after the These are pertinent indications. They reveal a revolt against bigotry and intolerance which spreads as the zealots grow more desperate in their efforts to intimidate authority, control political action, and suppress individuals. The success of Smith is a sign of this. It would not have been possible four years ago, but new it is apparent that even the south is wavering. There the political control would dearly love to back a candidate who had a chance to win of Republicans as closely this year as ajand is kept in hand only by the influence of years ago.

Henry turned when looking for tales of the men who haunt the park benches. Every bench had its story, so far as he was concerned. Beneath every rag- d garment he found a man who, “put for the grace of God,” was another person; he found comedy, pathos and tragedy. And he stamp- ed upon the mind of all who read him, a picture of Union Square that is not easy to erase. And, if you have carried that picture stay away from Union Square the next time you come to Manhattan! It’s changed enough since the day I began to put these daily impres- sions of the city on paper.

To take care of such a rush crowd 12 stairways will have to connect with the train platforms and the level of the square must be raised to make more room. Thus, little by little, New York surrenders to its own tempo. Its buildings rise nigher and its ave- nues grow more crowded, its sub- ways are more jammed and its ar- teries more clogged. Within a year tens of thousands will be going to work on a skip-stop schedule, where- by working hours will vary to ac- commodate the subway rush.

It is the theory that, thanks to the elaborate advertising campaigns, most folks know what brand tl wish to smoke before entering a store. The position of the clerk in such emporiums, therefore, is looked ween as largely mechanical. A ma- chine has made its appearance which not only vends the cigarets, but also supplies the necessary coupons and the matches. When distribution has been perfected through this device, scores of places will dismiss clerks and let you buy your cigarets by dropping coins in the boxes. « eee The first of these vending ma- chines made its appedrance in the Times Square belt the other day.
