The Boy Makes Friends and De- velops Those Qualities That Mark Him for Leadership Among His Fellows. AL SMITH’S EARLY START IN POLITICS. N Jan. 18, 1916, Al Smith was one of the speakers at a testi- monial dinner given to Honorary Fire Chief Robert H. Mainzer at the Knickerbocker. He entertained the 500 diners for almost an hour with a recital of his experiences as a “buff.” “Times have changed,” he said, in conclusion. “Here we are at & boiled shirt, claw hammered coat, plug hat banquet to a citizen fireman. When I was a citizen fireman the only banquet I ever got was the heel of a cheese sandwich from some uniformed fireman who dropped it to man a line of hose.” Al's boyhood friends and playmates bave scattered all over the world, but some of them etill live down under the Brooklyn Bridge. I talked about Al to one of them. panta sult. His mother had bought it for him the day before and he was to wear it on Easter Sunday, With that sult in his mind Al dashed into the house and in the hallway he met the burglar, who was trong, activ “AL” said this friend and playmate, young man, sireiee iy aang “was a smooth kid. As a boy diplo- "Al showed he could fight if he Mat he was entitled to all the medals. He was so smart that it was casy for him to learn, and when be left school he knew a lot more than all of us in his class who remained to the eud and graduated. “The boys down in the Fourth ‘Ward were rough and ready and more than ordinarily scrappy. You might say that a boy had to fight bis way through school and then through his youth in order td get anywhere. “But outside of some harmless schoolboy battles I don’t think Al Smith ever had a fight. He didn't bave to fight. In the térst place he could talk louder and faster and more convincingly than any boy in the ward, and as he grew up his voice increased in volume and his dexterity with words grew also. “If anybody ever made a hostile demonstration against Al—and many of them were made because he had a caustic tongue and used the most ir- ritating sarcasm—he would talk the hostile party into a pacific state of mind. I saw him do it dozens of times. His humor was our kind of humor, but he carried a deckload of it. A boy or man can't fight and laugh at the same time, and Al Smith could make anybody laugh,” “When Al was a little fellow he became the hero of the ward by cap- turing @ burglar. His mother ran a candy store in a basement in Dover Street and the family lived on the third floor, “One day, while Mrs. Smith was busy in the candy store and Al and his sister were playing in the street, a burglar got into the Smith flat. A neighbor's boy w the burglar at work ahd notified Al. “In the flat was Al's first long wanted to. What do you euppose he did? He got his suit beck and the burglar's overcoat besides, It was also reported in the neighborhood that Al got the burglar's bank roll, but be denied that, saying he bad taken only the money that bad been stolen from his mother. “Boy and man, Al was the best en- tertainer I ever saw. I don’t think anybody could beat him telling dialect stories. His observation was very keen, and he was continually picking up incidents out of which he wove the most ridiculous yarns. He was per- fect in the rendition of any dialect in the Fourth Ward, and the Fourth Ward was getting to be quite a poly- glot section even that far back. Ital- fans and Jews and Spaniards and Poles were sifting in and crowding out the Irish and the Germans. Al would spot a new arrival, hang around and add a perfect characterization to hie repertoire. In any gathering Al Smith was the dominating figure, and we had some pretty smart story tell- ers and talkers in our set at that. “From his boyhood he was a nat- ural orator. His vocabulary was 1v- markable. He read the papers and kept posted on the topics of the day and spent most of his time in discus- sions and making speeches. I never saw him discomfited tn an argument. Tf he couidn’t come back with a di- rect answer he would pull a joke, and once he got a laugh he would switch off on another line of his own choos- ing. “Even while he was tn his teens ayerybody prophesied that he would amount to something as a man. his natural leadership w not to be de- nied.”* Baker's collection comprised a poison ting but she believes him innocent of Van Cortland’s death. .

On one occasion he went as far as Albany with a barn- storming amateur aggregation of tal- ent. But the professional stage did not appeal to him for two reasons. GOOD ACTOR BUT NO TRAV- ELLER. His mother, who was the dominat- ing influence in his life, wanted him to remain at home. Perhaps it was her mother instinct that prompted hi to keep her boy at the place of his tirth and among the people he v reared with. ‘This was one reason. Another was that young Al had not the slightest desire to travel und seo the country. A professional career would bave meant travel. “I didu't even care to wander around town,” he told me one d “For weeks and weeks at a time when I was a youngster I wouldn't co more than four or five blocks from home unless {t was to a fire.

But Al's mother used to go the Bronx and visit Mrs. Dunn occasionally and some times Mrs. Dunn came back down to the 4th Ward to visit Mrs, Smith. In the late nineties there was u veri- tablehegira from the 4th Ward to the Bronx. Many of the old Irish set- tlers fled before the influx of new Im- migrants from Southern and Eastern Europe.
