Special Dispatch to The Star. RALEIGH, N. C., July 18.—Southern Democratic leaders, looking over the field of next year's presidential possi- bilities, are virtually unanimous in their cholce of Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York to head the list, with Newton D. Baker of Cleveland, Secretary of War in the Wilson cabinet, coming sec- ond. This despite the fact that, with the possible exception of Gov. Rlu:hl:uc: nd, these two are the wettes ;{':sr;‘:cfi\'e candidates ‘the dry-voting uth could elect. so'l'he tremendous majority which Gov. Roosevelt achieved in his re-election Jast Fall on a wet platform and the declaration against the workings of prohibition by Mr. Baker after his studles as s member of the Wicker- sham Commission place them in com- plete opposition to the political creeds outherners. DrB‘S: l.she fact seems to be that the Southern Democrats realize that to win in the next presidential election it will be necessary to compromise on & can- didate who can hold the wet strength of the East. A moderately mon-com- mittal plank on prohibition in the plat- form with a candidate standing by his personal views might easily relleve the local embarrassments of the Southern leaders. Gov. Roosevelt has a very consider- able popularity in the South, largely through the fact that he has become to some degree identified with it by reason of his long and frequent visits at Warm Springs, Ga. He recently has made a rather comprehensive tour of Virginia, and it 1s expected that he may come to North Carolina this Fall, where he would confer with Josephus Dan- Secretary of thé Navy in the Wilson administration, and. other “Tar Heel" politicians. Moreover, the Southern leaders have already been fairly thoroughly can- vassed by Gov. Roosevelt’s friends con- cerning 1932, with the result that the mm band wagon seems well oc- Baker Is Watched. Mr. Baker's name recommends it- self to the South as an alternative in event of Gov. Roosevelt'’s failure to obtain a two-thirds majority in the convention with the Wilsonian ideals and because he is not a New Yorker. Furthermore, should the German debt moratorium become an issue in the campaign, leaders here feel that Mr. Baker is equipped to deal with it. In that connection the name of Owen )?nl:’i%‘l:n.p U, ;s':hlt:eil;, but the im- reval al r. Young has not identified himself aggreulvely‘ with Jeffersonian principles and in the mind of many Southerners the brand of Wall Street and New York is upon him. As & runner-up to Gov. Roosevelt, in event of a convention deadlock, Democrats here say, Mr. Baker's great. est handicap would lie in the possibility D. C., JULY 19, that he might make his debut as a protege of the Smith-Raskob faction of the party. Bolters Well Out. To be sure the Democratic party in Dixie has largely purged itself of the anti-Smith bolters of 1928 through the elimination of such figures as for— mer Senators Furnifold M. Simmons of this State, Thomas Heflin of Ala- bama and Bishop James Cannon, jr., of Virginia. These victories over the haters of Alfred E. Smith, however, may be at- tributed in large degree to the desire of local factions to wrest power from old-line leaders. ‘There is no doubt that a renomination of Mr. Smith would revive the animosities of three years ago. It is exemplified in the roar of protest which went up from this part of the country when Mr. Smith and Chairman John J. Raskob undertook to place the Democratic National Com- mittee on record as wet. Gov. Roose- velt's own protest against that pro- cedure did him no harm here. The failure so far of the Smith- Raskob faction to indicate a friendly attitude toward Gov. Roosevelt holds the possibility that an attempt may be 1931—PART ONE. made to head off Gov. Roosevelt with another candidate. In this circum- stance, should Mr. Baker appear as a candidate under the Smith-Raskob ban- g:r&lt would not help his cause in the uth. South Lacks Favorites. No Southern favorite son so far has achleved a position where he could at present be considered seriously as a compromise in a deadlock, nor would the South look upon Gov. Ritchie in that light. He has made his reputa- tion as 4 national figure too strongly upon the wet issue, and to the Solid South the rating of Maryland as a Southern State is too much of a Yankee notlon to permit its Governor the title of a Southern favorite son candidate. With cotton and tobacco selling at ||| less than it costs to produce it, Demo- cratic leaders do not believe there is any prospect of the Republican party repeating its victories of 1928, but promises of economic remedies from & Democratic candidate might insure & Democratic victory.
