They were young | friends of the Roosevelt children and | grandchildren. They were much more interested in getting out in the first measurable snowfall ot the Winter. Michigan gained a distinctive place in the political picture when a Demo- | cratic nominee for Congress last year snatched & seat that generally had been occupied by a Republican. This, coming after Murphy's Democratic victory in Detroit, brought the State into Democratie considerations. Detroit generally has been administered by a Republican and the congressional dele- gation was solidly Republican until Michael J. Hart won from Foss Eldred last November. Gov.

URRAY EXPLAINS No Geographical Difference in Country’s Needs, He Tells New Hampshire. By the Associated Press. CONCORD. N. H., January 2.—Gov, William H. “Alfalfa Bill" Murray of Oklghoma, a potential Democratic pres- 1dential nominee, today told the Con- cord Monitor-Patriot that “there is no difference in the needs confronting the country.” “It is the doctrine of control of bank- ing credits, mergers and monopolies against the interests of the little busi- ness man, the laborer, farmer and pro- fessional man,” telegraphed the color- ful Southwestern executive regarding the economic situation. The Monitor-Patriot asked Murray | why he would, as he has indicated he | might, enter the New Hampshire Dem- ocratic primaries March 8 as a presi- dential candidate. The New Hampshire presidential preference primary is the first held in the Nation under statutory requirement. States' Needs Similar. “Should I announce myself for the | Gov.

There is no geographical difference in the needs confronting the country " v, Murray was esked by the Mon- itor-Patriot to give his views on prehi- bition, national defense, war debts, tariff, agriculture and public utilities regulations, to which he replied: “Some of the questions mentioned in your tel- egram are not issues of great impor- | tance for the reason that many of them | | will revolve around the control of bank- ing and banking credits.

NEW YORK, January 2—~The indi- cations are Alfred E. Smith will wllt‘ several months before announcing whether he will seek the Democratic presidential nomination, or whom he favors if he is not an aspirant. ‘The 1928 standard er himself per- sistently refuses to discuss for publica- tion his own political future, although it is known repeated efforts are being made to have him become a candidate, or at least to say he is willing to accept the honor. From a source close to him, however, it was learned tonight that he intends to pursue this policy of silence until %un before his party's national conven- on. In the meantime, he has established just as iron-clad a rule about discuss- ing the political booms under way for other Democratic leaders, as about say- m{r whether he will be a candidate him- self. Seces Party Triumph. He is said to have many reasons for maintaining this silence, among them: 1. He is convinced the Democrats will win in 1932 if party harmony pre- vails, and his concern at present is to help maintain such harmony. He wants the party to present its full and undi- vided strength in the campaign and (‘Iczruon. 2. Possessing long experience in poli- tics, he knows that much can hlggln in the political arena between now and the June convention. 3. He wishes to take a definite stand at the opportune time and then abide by it, but feels it is yet too early to regard him as the attention to the fact that in 1828 he polled 15,016,443 votes, the greatest number ever accorded & Democrat They say Smith feels he owes & courageous leadership to these millions, and, if not & candidate himself, he con- siders it a duty to point in positive fashion, before the convention, ta choice. This sense of responsibility is given as another reason why he wishes to remain non-commital until the time when an announcement from him will have the most influence and value to the party.

He is sald to be determined that it con- tain r?:sxn\e declarations—that it not straddle any issues and that it be thor- oughlv constructive. Smith has been working in close har- mony with John J. Raskob, head of the Natlonal Committee, who will deliver a report to the committee members when they assemble in Washington next week for thelr big political pow-wow. The former New York Governor, as titular head of the party, will share the spotlight at the Capital gathering with Raskob.

By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, January 2.—8peaker John N. Garner of the House was lauded as “another Champ Clark” to- night by William Randolph Hearst in an address in which the publisher asked, “Who will be the next Presi- dent?” Terming Clark's defeat for the Demo- Crl!lt“rmidmlh] nomination by Weod- row Wilson in 1912 America's greatest misfortune, Mr. Hearst called on the Nation to “think carefully and act | firmly regarding the political situations of this eventful year.” The publisher's address, delivered by radio, also advanced an explanation of President Hoover's “unprecedented un- pularity” in the assertion that “he as always been a Wilsonite.” He said Champ Clark was the natural candidate of the Demoeratic party in 1912, and continued: “Great influences, which were in no sense Democratic, and which had no lace in Democratic councils, because hey had no interest in Democratic success, stepped into the situation. The Te- vent a genuine Democrat from being nominated “The Democratic candidates—Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Baker, Mr. Ritchie, Mr. Bmith and Mr. Young are all good men in their way, but all internationalists— all like Mr. Hoover, disciples of Wood- row Wilson, inheriting and fatuously following his visionary policies of in- termeddling in European conflicts and complications. “John N. Garner, Speaker of the House of Representatives, a position universally pronounced next in impor- tance to the presidency, is a loyal American citizen, a plain man of the lain people, a sound and sincere emocrat; in fact, another Champ Clark.” The terms of Morris Plan Loans are simple and practical—it is not necessary HOOVER CANDIDACY - MOVE IS FORECAST | Independent Group to Attend to Filing of Name in Primaries Likely. Friends of President Hoover indicated ,‘ysurdny that a pre-convention organi- | zation, independent of the Republican | National Committee, probably will be | established to attend to the filing of his name in the presidential primary States and assume other responsibilities in the election of delegates for his renomina- tion. Mr. Hoover's renomination without organized opposition is regarded as as- sured. With the filing of the name of Joseph I. France, former Senator from Maryland, for the North Dakota pri- | mary in March, it is recognized, how- ever, that this and perhng: some other states might go to others by default un- less the President's name also was entered. The number of States which might is regarded as not nearly enough to en- | danger his renomination. The Presi- | dent, however, is believed to be unwill- ing on principle to ignore States hav- ing presidential preference primaries. Close Advisors Quoted. | Ohio, South Dakota, New Hampshire, Oregon and Nebraska are other States with clear-cut presidential preference primaries. Although no one appears to | have been authorized to speak for the | President, some of his closest advisors | said yesterday that Mr. Hoover “un- | doubtedly” would enter the primaries of all those States.

It is considered necessary to have some group look after the President's inter- ests in these and other States, and | party leaders who were here last month for the Republican National Committee meeting seemed agreed that the best results would be obtained by delegating some group independent of the Na- tional Committee. Yesterday's information that certain close friends of the President have been considering informally the formation of such a group or organization was re- garded as significant of a concurrence with this view in administration quar- ters, though not necessarily on the part of the President himself.
