Smith up a high mountain, but one not high enough, for a view of the scenmery and nothing else. lacks both plausibility and probability. Informed observers no longer believe that the party is to give Smith a glo- rious miss, one which grazes the nomi- nation so closely the candidate can hear the acclaim of it and smell its roses and yet not get it. In reasonable prospects the New Yorker is regarded as the nominee. When the Republicans come together in Kansas City, holding their conven- tion in advance of the Democratic at Houston, they probably will have to consider Smith as the man of the op- position ticket, with all that his nomi- nation will imply. They won't know it as certain, but they will not be justi- fied in thinking anything else, Not only as to Smith but as to ideas the Republicans have seen the Demo- crati: campaign in the making for the last six months and more. It has been reveal’'d as to Its meaning and pur- pose on the stump by Senator Reed in his swinging around the circle. It has been outlined in the United States Sen- ate by Senator Bruce of Maryland, and elsewhere by Gov. Ritchie of Maryland. It has not been without opposition in the party, from Senators Glass and Swanson of Virginia and Walsh of Montana& in the Senate and by McAdoo and his clerics and drys at large. But the suc- cess of Smith means the defeat of these elements, and it means that the prin- ciples declared with political and his- torical accuracy by Bruce and Reed are dominating the I ocratié Party 1t not a description of the say that they are wet. to the Volstead Act and and abuses of government which have followed Constitutional Prohibition is a small part of the social and political theory now being developed by the Democratic leadership. Volsteadism is the most vivid phenomenon or symp- tom, but the Democratic issue cut- ting deeper than that The Republican management has for- gotten the origin of the party. For purpose, in inertia or because of timid- ity, it has swung back through Whig- gery into the old Federalism and into the worst of Federalism It has re- Joined itself by doctrines of oppres- sion enforced by Federal machinery, by Federal Courts and Marshals. The Democratic Party has renewed its as sociation with its youth when it w at times unwisely and at times wildly the exponent of Democratic rights and the defender of the individual against the usurped power, against autocratic government and even against unrea- sonable or unjust majorities, Broad classification must the Republican Party to the liberalizing of the Federalist ide but the process destroyed two party or- ganizations before it flowered in Lin- coln. It must -be remembered also that the Democatic Party, having de- stroyed the Federalists for their sins against democracy, itself took to the ' autocracy of Federalism in support of slavery and made the Republican Party possible.

About 2,000,000 of them, says the announcement, live in the United States The Democrats Feel Better. (New York World.) the time for the nominating conventions nearer the two parties show a curious re- al of form. Amcng the Republicans there is increasing doubt and confusion of purpose. Among the Democrats there is increasing unity and con- fidenge. For the first time in many years it is the Republicans who are worried and it is the Demo- trats who are hopeful. At bottors what makes the Democrats feel so good is that at last they feel right with them- selves. They have reached a decision which they know is the right decision. They have con- quered the doubt and confusion in their own minds as to whether they dared to ncminate Gov. Smith. That is the most important decision taken by the Democratic Party in fifty years. For Gov. Smith does not merely talk about the principles which are the heart of the Jefferson- ian tradition. He embodies them. And in de- ciding to nominate him the Democrats are de- claring in the most concrete way that their great tradition is genuinely alive. It is a decision of this sort which saves men’s w. The Democratic Party has saved its soul. T years ago it frembléd and quivered and quaked at the proposal to denounce the Ku Klux Klan by name. Today it is choosing as its leader the man who above all others has drawn to him- self the venomous hatred of the Klan. That is a great thing to do, and the thrill of confidence which is prevading the party is the sign that the Democrats are at peace with (hemw]vei They have met and faced and triumphed over the most dangerous issue with which a party can be con- fronted, and they have a wholly new self-respect .nu] therefore a wohlly new will to win. They again believe in themselves and in their (rmlinnns and in their future. As long as the Democratie Party was beset by r.-zm it could have no leadership. It could not W act as an opposition. It was a mere loose ation of discordant factions, each seeking merely temporary local advantages. The end of that pericd of disunion and doubt has come. In the nomination of Gov. Smith the Democratic Party has pulled itself. spiritually together and it is ready now for the leadership which he will give it The best proof that this i8 a true estimate of the situation today is to be found in the grow- Ing consternaticn of the Republicans. As a straw in the wind, we are reprinting in another col- umn on this page a recent editorial from the Chicago Tribune. That editorial shows thoughtful Republicans know what it may mean in the campaign when the great mass of the voters get it into their heads that there is a candidate in the field who really represents the oldest American ideal of equal opportunity. The Republican leaders have not read their history in vain, They can read the portents. They know that at bottom, in spite of all the mater- ialism and cynicism and complacency and wor- ship of size and quantity and money, the Amerj- can people still believe in and will on occasion declare for the simple demoeratic faith in which they were reared. There may be a disillusion- ment with the processes of democracy, but there is no significant disillusfonment with its ideal. The American people are still very American, As draw ve Gene Tunney's smiling features are not in consonance with his favorite author's remark that uneasy rests the head that wears a crown. ——(New York Times.)
