SHITH 1S SILENT Democrats Speculate on - Governor’s Course—Dis- cuss Other Candidates. By the Associated Press. William presidential in the ftitantic struggle forces of Alfred Madison « #go, announced yesterday would not enter the r Democratic nomination in 1928, There was immediate specul among party leaders as to the prob. able effect of his announcement the fortunes of Gov ith others. Many of them rid in_the Statement an invitation to the New York Governor to withdraw also, but few of them thought he would do Gov. Smith himself declined Gibbs MeAdoo, campaign whose was wrecked with Smith iov. at Square den that for make any comment, as did his friends | here. While most of the Democratic leaders Washington refused tc 1alk for publication, some of Senators from the South did not hesi tate to voice hope that Smith would in &et out and clarify the atmosphere of | 8overnment.” the religious and wet issues which have been brought to the front in connection with his candidacy McAdoo Statement Recalled. ‘Those who interpreted the McAdoo pronouncement n invitation to Mr. Smith to remove himself from the fleld pointed to the former Treas- ury Secretary’s stutement that the 1924 Democratic campaign had been rendered “abortive by the unfor- tunate injection, against my opposi- tion, of the false relizious issue into the Democratic national convention.” and his further declaration that if there was a repetition year “the party 1a again to impotence “Everything possible should be done to prevent the 1928 convention from degenerating into a of individuals for personal preferment at the expense of principles and policies of fundamental importance 10 party character and to the welfare of the Nation.,” Mr. McAdoo said. “Principles and polici must come fir Personal ambitions, however legitimate, and every selfish purpose should be subordinated to them. Declaring that he probably could do more to advance the objects of the party as a private citizen than as a candidate for the presidency, Mr. McAdoo said he preferred to stand aside in order that the field might b left clear, “so far as I can clear it.” Then he added: "I shall not, therefore, be a candi- date for the Democratic presidential momination in 1928." ‘Will Oppose Smith Candidacy. ‘While not mentioning Smith by mame, Mr. McAdoo made it fairly e¢lear in his pronouncement, as he has in conversation with his friends, that as a private citizen he would continue to oppose the candidacy of the New York governor. Moreover, he indicated very sstrongly by em- phasizing that there must be no nul- lification of the Constitution that he would oppose any wet candidate. ‘While Senators who commented on the announcement for publication were quick in their praise of the po- sition he had taken, one of them, Renator Caraway of Arkansas, ex- pressed regret that the former Treas- ury Seceretary had not taken the| same position three vears ago. “Jf Mr. McAdoo had shown the same spirit at New York in 1924,” he said. “I think the convention would have written an entirely different his- tory. At that time Gov. Smith was willing to withdraw. What he may feel about it now, I do not know.” Senators Harris of Georgl and Fletcher of Florida, joined with Sen- ator Caraway in expressing their be-, lief that if Gov. Smith withdrew the party could agree upon a candidate who might carry the party to success in 1928. “If Gov. Smith, whose prominence i= such as to entitle him to be a can- didate, should feel impelled to follow Mr. McAdoo's example, the next Dem- ocratic convention will name the next President of the United States,” said Senator Caraway. Suggests Compromise. “The only hope of Democratic suc- cess is to unite on some man the Smith and McAdoo factions can agree upon,” said Senator Harris. “I believe be reduced the Democgats can be successful with- | out a doubt if they harmonize their | differences.” “We ought to get away from the old antagonisms of Madison Square Garden and get together,” said Sen- ator Fletcher. “I don’t see any reason why we should not. Senator Nve of North Dakota, the only Republican to comment, ex- pressed the opinion that the only hope the Democrats had of success was to harmonize their differences on candi- dates and issues. Mr. McAdoo’s announcement, which Jong had been awaited hy Democratic leaders, came in the form of a letter to George Milton, publisher of the Chattanooga, Tenn., News.
