Trend Toward Wadsworth. ‘ In the New York City district the trend toward Senator Wadsworth is also very pronounced. He will make | a better run in the metropolitan area | than any Republican in recent vears, | with the exception, of course, of Pre: dent Coolidze. He will need every bit additional strength he can muster, for up-State the division of opinion in the ranks of the Repub- | | lican pa hecanse of Mr. Wads worth’s wet views is such as to cut down the regular Republican | normal vote. | In the criss-cross of pofitics, a fair Iy strong man on the top of the ticket pulls votes for those whose names are listed below. Many votes that Repre sentative Mills will draw because he | i= the regular Republican neminee | {will also be cast for Senator Wads. | worth. On the whole. Mr. Mills s considered in a stronger position to day in some respects than young Thendore Roosevelt was two vears ago | against Al Smith. The latter rather | Jaughed his youthful opponent out of | court by witty jibes and characteristic ! comments, but the Naw York gover. nor cannot do the same with Mr. | Mills, who has managed to keep the campaign on A serious basis. All the newspapers are giving Mr. { Mills considerable news and editorial | space and regarding his speeches se- riously. Also the Hearst newspaper support throughout the State is with Representative Mills. This” is dis- counted to some extent by the knowl- edge of the voters that previous feuds inside the party have brought about a Hearst opposition to Smith rather than affirmative desire for the elec- tlon of Representative Mills. And yet one scarcely finds any dis- interesied observer who thinks Al Smith is in danger. If there were ch & thing as uniformity in political contests In New York State, Al Smith would this vear ba doomed to defeat Klsewhere the effort to elect a man four times would produce a reaction on the ground that the inenmbent had had the office long enough. The <pirit of “give-some-one-else-a-chance™ would weigh heavily against the de sire of 4 candidate to continue in office. “Reluctant to Run." Rut Al Smith knew this tendency | on the part of the electorate long be- | ! fore he ever ran for office. And he | has managed in each case to he | ‘drafted” for the office. He has been | reluctant to run—he has said he wanted to retire to private life. He | has vigorously denied that he cared about further public service in the | |State. And vet with regularity he | { has responded to the call of his party | | on _convention day. { | To a large extent this call of the! party is spontaneous. Al Smith is a | remarkable vote getter. He helps the | candidates on the local ticket to pull I through. 1f Tammany had ite way, Al Smith would run forever. But this is the last time Al Smith | will be a candidate for re-election as governor. If he is elected this vear. as seems certain at this writing, he will present a convincing argument fo his fellow Democrats in many other | | States as a presidential candidate. He is running for governor now, to he sure. hut hasically he iz making a bid for 1928, So he is campaigning harder than ever to roll up a big majority.
