THURSDAY, JULY 12. U'28 AuSTsKREnF: I SMITH'S SUCCESS ; ! Has Fought From Cradle for Title i ot "'Happy Warrior; * Never Loses Human Qualities That Make Him Just "Al" to Thousands i ' ? Baiitaa Albany, N. V., July 10.?Alfred. : E. Smith, the "happy warrior" whom ! the Democratic party nominated thei other day for the presidency, won that title by u struggle against imposing odds that began almost in his cradte. but which was never able to break his genial spirit. In his steep climb from the obscurity of a fatherless boy on New ; York's lower East Side?without ed ucation, money, influence, and with i a widowed mother to support?to j the candidacy for the higaest posij tiou in the United States, Smith never lost the "human" qualities that have made him "Al" to the hundreds of thousands. Some of his friends believe that one of the secrets of his success has been that he always retained the ability to iaugh al himself, to joke about his struggles once they were safely won. His conversation and his addresses! ' of the present day teem with humorous references to the hard days! when he was a newsboy, a fish mar- i ket clerk, a factory office hoy. With i a long cigar firmly clasped in his ! teeth and with one of the hrown dc-r| bics that have been called his cam] paign war bonnet, perched jaunr.ily on his head, he delights to recall the battles against obscurity and poverty that he fought and won. I At such times his speech is again the talk of the man in the street, 1 spiced with a tung, and racy with! 1 i the details of fights in a good cause: i well fought,. I It is Smith's philosophy of life; 'I that anything wotth while must bo i ' 5 fought for and the- fact that it: is i ! only won by a struggle makes it "| more desirable, lie likes to think of himself as the fighter ami never] 1; misses ah opportunity to preach thy ". gospel of lighting for the ends one' ] believes are justified, i "1 am no cooing dove," ho once] 1 said, "and I never will be. Every-1 i thing 1 ever got in the. world I had! i! to fight for; i don't have it handed' ' | to nie on a gold platter." j But although Smith bus lnught jail his lift- for his principles and -j positions, he is not in any way the] >j pugnacious type. The number of ; his close friends testified to that, as does the fact that his family life bos ') been uniformly harmonious. He has always been a "family ! man" and the members of his family j know hint as a kind and indulgent . husband and father. He married ' j Katherine Dunn of New York when tj he was earning but $75 a month and ; they have been insuperable ever ; since. Their five children have. " grown to maturity hut have never] grown away from the parental home.: ' ( His, friends say that the man who, ' lias suffered defeat but om:> in a ' j political career of 25 years is Me. H effect of not one man, but a whole.) j group of men. They say that he is hat the same time The political war-] ; rior, the gentle husband ar.d father,! the flaming campaigner, the devout member of the church, the genial ra' contour, and half a dozen other per I sodalities. ! He is noted for his ability t>: adopt ' j himself to his surroundings and "talk the language" dt the persons with whom he happens to be thrown into contact at the moment, He can j 1: discuss government with notc-d; . > - .. _ < swresiKca, or oaseuaj; wicii a sirevi ; lj urchin with equal facility and, for.'

Some observers .daring the week] I of the convention were inclined toj ,: feel that he did not do complete' justice to the seriousness of the] .: situation, because he token while his, ;: political fate was hanging in the . balance, because he danced with ; .'burlesque joy when his name was: 1; placed in nomination, because he J I "wise-cracked" even during the , tense moments of the balloting thati : selected hirn as the standard beaver ; of Democracy. But persons who have known him 1 j throughout his career, p arted out; ! that all these manifestations did not! mean that he was not aware of. the .; import of affairs, or that hi con-' t sidered them lightly. .: It was explained, they said, by the , fact that once acain he was in a. fight for something that he wanted, . | and was exuberantly jubilant at ber ir.g in the thick of battle, that he; .
