WASHINGTON THE WEEK IN POLITICS Summary of National Dcvclopmcms Bascd on Reports From The Star's Special Correspondents and Staff Writers, OLITICAL developments of the past week have centered largely around the personal- ity of Alfred E. Smith and his chances of being made the Demacratic candidate for President. This is not only true in Washing- ton, where reaction to the attack on Smith by Senator Heflin of Alabama has been highly favorable to the New York Governor, but dispatches to The Star from correspondents contributing to its weekly political survey show that throughout the country Smith has gained much more ground than he has lost as a result of injection of the religious issue into the pre-convention cam- paign. Nowhere was reaction to the Hef- 1in speech more pronounced than in Alnbama. The press of the State was almost unanimous in repudiat- ing the sentiments expressed by Scn= ator Heflm, and the Montgoermy Advertiser emphasized its displeis- ure by coming out flatly in support of Smith for the Democratic nomi- nation. Resentment in Alabama acainst Heflin is so strong. it s re- ported. that he may be denied the honor of gaing to the Houslon con- vention as a delegate-at-larze. P Foilowing is a partiil summary of the pro-Smith news reaching The Star from a number of States Illinois.—George E. Brennan's ef- forts to obtain a solid delezation for Smith, bound by the unit rule. gives promise of success.

There ems to be no enthusiasm for any her Domocrat mentioned for the nomination Mississippt. — Smith I8 gaining ground and the prospects now are that while the delegation is likely to vote for some oue clse on the ecarly ballots it will be willlng to accept Smith in the end Formidable as is the showing made by Gov. Smith in the week's news, he has not quite crowded other Democratic possibilities out of the spotlight. In fact, the week wit- nessed the formal launching of two other presidential booms, one for Senator George of Georgia and the other for Representative Cordell Hull of Tennessee. These hooms evidently are put forward at this time as feclers, to see what chance there is of rallying anti-Smith sen- timent in the South around a South- ern candidate. It is too early yet to form an opinion as to what progress they are likely to make, especially in view of the violent re- action favorable to Smith as a re- sult of the Heflin speech. In the meantime, friends of Sena- tor Reed are bu and it is an- nounced that national Reed head- quarters are to be opened in Wash- ington about February 1. It is stated that an aggressive campaign is to be made in at least 15 States in an effort to line up delegates for the Missouri Senator. The same dirpateh states. however. that even in Missouri thers is not a little sontiment favorable to Gov. Smith o In the Republican camp Secre- fary Hoover scems to be the one who has been doing most of the running. though developments in his behalf have been less spectacular than those which have helped Smith along. Exceptions are Tilinois and Ohio, where Hoover seems to have lost rather than gaimed ground. In Illinois the Lowden managers are less concerned than thoy were a week ago lest the Legislature should fail to pass a primary law to take the place of the one declared uncon- stitutional. They have made a care- ful canv of the State and are now convineed that Lowden would get a majority of the delegation even un- der the caucus and convention plan, Because of the opposition of Mavor Thompson and his Chicago machine thay never have counted on getting anything like a solid delegation. even in a primary, Selection of Col. Carmi Thompson to be his campaign manager appears to have strengthened the hands of Senator Willis in Ohio, and though Hnover's followers there still are in- sistent ‘n their demands that they have opportunity to make thoir pref- erence known, Willis now stems to be pretty firmly seated in the saddle Hoover's friends still hope to make their favorite second choice of most the Ohio delegates. but so far Willis gives no sign of being willing to agree to such a program x ok owox ‘The news most favorable *o Hoover comes from New York. where younger Republican eaders show a dicposition to defy Vice Chairman Hilles of the national committee and Chairman Norris of the State com- mittee and to insist upon the selec- tion of delegates favorable to Hoover, and even tg have them in- siructed whenever possible In Pennsylvania Hoover continues to make progress, but efforts to smoks out Secretary of the Treasury Mellon so far have been unsuccess- ful Pennsylvania Hooverites think Mellon soon w into line. fi ing tha of the Cool- idge admi \stration he has nowhere else to g0 They also take comfort from the fact that Undersecretary Mills and Assistant Secretary Lov man are actively for Hoover. which they believe would not be the case were Secretary Mellon opposed Discord on Hoover Delcgation Vanishes As Kentucky Republicans Join in Parley 1 Dispateh to The Star 1. at a conference in Fra tort Thursday, at which met the le: ers of the two factions, which fought cach other with an enthusiasm worthy of Democrats, during the gubernatorial primary campaign last Summer.
