By RODNEY DUTCHER (NEA Service Writer) Washington—Democrats in the west appear to be no more disheart- ened than they would have been had they lost the election by a narrow margin. Their attitude seems very similar to that expressed by Gover- nor Smith in his post-election radio speech, Which party leaders in this territory, as elsewhere, enthusiastic- ally endorsed. At the same time, some of the most important western Democratic leaders are willing to concede there is little in the present sit to inspire hope of a Democratic vic- tory in 1932. These men are frank enough to concede that Hoover is likely to make an able president; that he will satisfy a majority of the people. They don’t all think that, of course. Hoover has a few bitter personal enemies, such as Senator Jim Reed of Missouri, who have such a poor opinion of him as to claim to be confident that he will im out so bad as to be refused re-election. . But there is a surprising ten- deney among Democrats, including some of the old leaders of the party, who saw their best days during the Wilson administration, to consider Hoover as an extraordinarily able public servant. They believe that, on the basis of the campaign waged and on the issues as treated by the two candidates, Smith should have been elected. But, privately at least, they are in accord with Smith’s plea to the people to support the new president until his performance in office gives the Democratic leaders provocation for a general attack. The tendency among Democrats to admit publicly that they are a minority party has been growing for several years. Smith’s open con- fession was good for the party’s soul; it was also valuable in an edu- cational sense, for Smith told the * THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1928 was and what it ought to owes had before. goes on unimpaired. And Smith’s efforts to make the party a liberal progressive party have helped for the time being, at least. He polled the great bulk of the 5,000,000 La Follette voters of 1924, and it is quite conceivable that his party will be able ‘to hold most of this strength in the future. ere The attitude of Democrats in Congress during the next four years will be indicative as to whether or not the party wants to measure up to the liberal standards Smith has set for it. “If Hoover appoints a real Hoo- ver cabinet, he will be invincible,” says one of the most prominent western Democrats, discussing 1932 possibilities. “But if he appoints a political cabinet the people are going to lose faith in him, and we will have a chance to run him out of the White House. If he ignores the politicians of hés party in distribut- ing cabinet posts they will be power- less against him, for public senti- ment will back him up. He used to be such a good Democrat that I personally think he will choose his men with the idea of giving us the best government we ever had.” Se | IN NEw YORK | New York, Nov. 28.—The exhaust |” ing pace set by history’s greatest “bull market” has forced an army floor traders on the Stock Ex- change to face the grim possibility of nervous and physical collapse. Scores have undertaken courses in training as rigid and disciplined as that imposed on a prize fighter on the eve of a big battle. Only eye witnesses to the daily battle waged within the low hang- ing gray stone building in the mid- Wall Street belt can appreciate the intense strain upon men who, day upon day, have been forced to ap- pear in the ring at the stroke of the gong, there to put a month of effort into a day of trading. Tension has long since reached the breaking point. Only the strongest’ can survive. And these are surviv- ing by giving themselves an athlete’s discipline. ee 1 know a trader, for instance, who happens to live “down the Island.” h day when the closing gong has rung he hops a train for home. he puts himself through a course prescribed by an_ expert trainer. He has an electric horse a la Mr. Coolidge—and, after a short canter, goes through a course of rub- downs and strenuous physical exer- cises. Then he jumps into bed a sleeps until the dinner hour. dinner is served in bed and he again goes to sleep. He denies himself to 1,100. To attain a seat is to pay an exorbitant sum. These are jealously held and ofttimes sold at huge rofits. But if, as planned, the member- ship is doubled, then the tension will be relaxed somewhat, for trading will -be scattered over a greater number of people. Also the floor space will be almost doubled. For if six or seven million shares are to be dealt in, there must be more man power. Meanwhile, those engaged in the struggle must survive as best they can, GILBERT SWAN. (Copyright, 1928, NEA Service, Inc.) —$__________, !
