Smith for the Democratic nomination for president. 1 am sending* you a news ! paper clipping that refers to an iii-i terview that 1 grave out last November, which expressed my views at that time. The fear that 1 then * impressed is not so prpnourici .1 at this iin.e. and I do not now relieve. in the light of cluVngVs that have taken place, that the nomination ov Gov. Smith will seriously ei'teci the Democratic vote of this state, or do any lasting injury to our party organization. i have, .therefore,' been led u? the conclusion that, under idling conditions, the nomination of Governor Smith' as our candidale for prcvieiU G out wisest er.uv.se. and holds out to us a genuine of rucco.ss at thf polio next November. With kindest regards to yodt.Hfif and Senator Shmr.onsj 1 iTp.ii)'. Vow truly yours. jlV. I:. COCNf ILI.. ((nclosu re) (Kdiior's nsM Kn Ho whig ?s the iolervHov spoken i f in Jugge CoimcilPs letter, which is an tidstrpial caviled in The I: Aord lasi i\ove?h* bor): A man who thinks a great deal WftW. lw. K.I J TU? Record other ay 1 i:s opinion <>l' tin- national iioiithal situation in so far as it concerned AI Smith, ile began by remarking that it ivais a time when political leaders are "guarding their words," especially in states sucb as North Carolina. The danger of the A! Smith candidacy. said this man, is hot that his election would bring a revolt from the ei~iiteent.ii amendment., riot thiit it would bring Catholic dominion to America, not that it would bring immorality in government. No. those are not the dangers. The nation may disrupt the political organisation of several states such as North Carolina. But, on rhe other hand, this rnar. sees whore the fight, that would rome in case Smith were nominated might bring a life to the Democratic party that it has not felt in years and years. Gov. Smith possesses that surdity deeper than personality, broader than magnetism, more incomprehensible than charm, which drives the average mar-, the man in the street, out in the field to battle in his behalf He possesses "ft." Wootlrotv AVilsoit nearly had it; Roosevelt did have it. It inspires the fight in the legions. Big Bill Would Draft Coolidg* Chicago, March ?Mayor Thomn son, supported by a brass band and {.000 cohorts of the ThompsonCrowe organizations has launched an organized wove to "draft" President Coolidge for the Republican presidential nomination.. Recently back from Washington the mayor called a meeting yesterday of his political supporters, "svho unanimously endorsed his program and a platform of 18 planks. His new slogan was "America First; Wets Against World Court JDrys," based on an anti-prohibition plank in the county platform. The platform denounced the Volstead act and the World Court: demanded the federal government bear the entire cost of "America First" flood control, completion of inland "waterways and home rule for Illinois. Walsh Enters Race WiftfihintrtAn Ms?iv>V? Thomas J. Walsh of Montana has entered the expanding field of Democratic candidates for the presidency with the open support of William G. McAdoo, the political foe of Governor Smith of New York. Like Smith, the senator is a Roman Catholic. Unlike the New Y'ork governor, he is committed to the dry cause.
