AUGUST 22 MARKS CHANGE FOR SMITH He Then Will Become National | Rather Than New York Figure Albany, N. Y., Aug. § (M—Within | & few weeks 100,000 persons will | gather in Capitol park here to wit- | ness the transformation of a state's | chief executive into a party's choice tor president. When Gov. Alfred E. Smith steps from the entrance to the capitol August 22 to deliver his speech of acceptance in response to Senator Key Pittman’s official notification of his nomination as democratic presi- dential candidate, a subtle change will have taken place, perhaps not more in his own personality than in the attitude of the public towards him. Selection of the steps of the capi- tol as the acene for the notification ceremony was in keeping with the career of the nominee. Replete with national as well as state tradition, the massive stone building has heen ! signally honored by the events which | have occurred within its walls or beneath its shadow, but never be- fore has it become the scene of an event of such political significance ax the notification of a presidentiai candidate. For the bhetter part of 25 years it has been the place of | business of the democratic nominee. Tt was in 1304 that Alfred E. Rmith, who previous to that time had been merecly a clerk in the of- fiee of the commissioner of jurors fn New York city, first came to the capitol as an assemblyman. Tt has heen reported that after that first term he was inclined to quit—the game of politics was new to him and not altogether pleasant. Rut he came back again and again, first | as an assemblyman, then as floox leader of the demouratic forces; la- | ter as speaker of the assembly and | finally to occupy the executive office, with enly one interruption, for four | terms fince itx completion, 30 years ago, the walls of the executive building| have witnessed many historic events, They have said “Hail" and “Fare- well” to half a score of chief execn- tives, one of whom later occupied the White House. Capitol park, immediately in front of the capitol, also has its historic events. They have said “Hail” the ceremony will atand on the spot where Van Buren and Cleveland #erved, while the governor will come to the platform from the office nsed by Theodore Roosevelt. Whatever else it may be: ever the acceptance speech mean to the thousands of listencrs | of varying political faiths—to the | people of Albany and of New York | state it will be a speech of farewell. They have acclaimed him, this erst- while newshoy, this fighting politi- cian, as their own—but ‘he is going from them. He has sald that his work in Albany is finished and that| he will not return. b The end of the battle will sce him | either in the White House or once more simply Alfred E. Smith of New York city.
