Some of them insist, however, that Mr. Young, if nominated, | will be a strong candidate, despite the | fact that Progressives in' the Demo- cratic party and in the Republican party would look askance at the nomi- nation because of Mr. Young's connec- | tion with a huge corporation and be- cause of the charges made that he would not be antagonistic to the power trust. Democrats here and there express a fear that the nomination of Gov. Roos velt of New York might lead to a whs pering campaign on the pert of their Republican _oppcnents, a campaign aimed at Roosevelt because of his | physical disabilities. Several years ago tack of infantile paralysis which im- paired the use of his legs. With great courage, Gov. Roosevelt has combated this disease and his friends point out | that notwithstanding the arduous duties | of Governor of the Empire State for the last two and a half .years, Roosevelt, to- | day is i excellent heaith. Further- more, if he were nominated, Gov. Roose- velt ‘would make an active campaign, | speaking in many parts of the country, | his_winning personality, coupled | with a measure of sympathy for his | disability, would, they say, far more than offset any whispering campaign the Republicans might undertake. When the Democratic National Con- | vention meets, as matters now stand, | ov. Rocszvelt will g into th conven- on with more delegates pledged to him than any other candidate for the nom- ination, unless the investigation of the New York government and Tammany should have serious results for Roos velt. In the West, Roosevelt is alrea a strong candidate. He has been 1 dorsed by Progressive Democratic lead- ers like Dill of Washington and Wheeler of Montana. In the South, Roosevelt's nomination for the presidency would be accepted practically without a murmur, despite the fact that Roosevelt has de- clared himself opposed to national pro- hibition as it is now practiced. He made himself solid with many of the Demo- cratic leaders from the South when he | threw his influence at the March meet- ing of the Democratic National Com- mittee_against the plans of Chairman John J. Rascob to have the committee | g0 on record as favoring a wet plank in the D2mocratic national platform. Worried By Norris' 0. K. In some quarters, disappointment is | expressed that Gov. Roosevelt has had the practical indorsement of Senator | George W. Norris of Nebraska, Progres- | sive “Republican, for the Democratic| nomination for President.

Out in Ohio Baker has the support, it is reported, of former Gov. “Jimmy” Cox, himself a Democratic presidential candidate in 1920. There has been speculation as to the health of Mr. Baker and whether he could stand a presidential campaign. However, he | was able successfully to weather an at- tack of pneumonia within the last year, which would indicate that his health i not poor. Back in 1920 Baker was an outstanding supporter of the entry of the United States into the League of Nations. Doubtless that fact would be raised against him in the Democratic | convention. However, the Leagu: of | Nations as an issue Has faded consid- | erably during the last decade. Al Smith in all probability will be | an important factor in the next Demo- | cratic national convention. There ar plenty of Democrats who supported | Smith in 1928 who would like to see him nominated again. However, there is strong belief that Gov. Smith will not permit himself to b> a candidate, and there is equally strong opinion that if he actually entered the lists he could not again win nomination in a con- vention where a two-thirds vote President and Vice President. Former Gov.
