TWO MYSTERIES i

Franklin Roosev.lt,. A1 Smith, etc..
were p met i call dead certainties
many months hofore the conventions j
were called to order. Single recent
exception to thi rule was when dark j
horses Cox and Harding opposed each ;
other.
The rumor always Roes arount* a i
bout this iJVWi' that sonu- vague and
imnn nst*ly powerful political bosses
have th?- key to the puzzle, anil will
put their candidates over with eu*o
.and dispatch when the time comes.
Hut if that is so, every political obser
ver in the country has been fooled. ;
Both parties are divided within
themselves to an abnormal degiee.
And th? ranks ??f 1? th are alive with i
elf-starters, favorite sons and e'h
t-rs who are simply itching to take the
? ath of office from Chief Justice!
JIughes next year.
Starting out with the party in
l.ower, everything: hinges on what j
the President will do. If he wants tne
nomination, it is hard to see how ho |
can be kept from getting it, despite j
the growing disaffection of many pro- j
minent Democrats in public office. |
Working on the assumption, which j
many do, that the President does not ?
plan to run again, and is keeping si- j
lent only because he wants to keep his
parly under control, the outlook for j
the Democrat.? producting a solidly i
backed candidate is nt bright. The '
Mc'.'utt candidacy seems to have'
Mow:. up. Garner could carry the!
Solid South and would get consider-,
able conservative support, but he is
not warmly regarded by the strong
New Dealers. There was considerable '
talk about the possibility of running !
Robert .Jucksoji aom. time back, bull
ho does n >? seem to have atracted |
any considerable public following. ;
Frank Murphy, who used to be talked
about also, is on the Supreme Court !
and out of active politics. Secretary!
Hull would probably have the best
chance of e< monting together the war
ring wings of the party, but, due to!
i .U j 'b, he has had nothing to do j
-with domestic questions for eight'
years, and his stand on many big is
sue? of tho day is not known. At the
moment. however, Hull and Garner
seem to have the inside track.
On the Republican side. Tom Dew
ey has started his campaign in ear
nest. U has long been said of hiir. that
no one knew much about his views
save in the matter of criminal law
enforcement, and he is offsetting this
by making a series of major speeches
covering our principal problems.
Strongly in his favor is his voice <*hd
radio personality, \gainst him is the
fact that men big hin Republican
councils would prefer some one o*der.
and with a longer and more varied
record in public office. So far, the
poltiical expert < fill; he has been no
whirlwind in whipping up ucm. ral er?
"hu-i.is'.n f?r t ne cause of the lit P,
!?ut he has done better than anyone
j else.
Ya?.denbe g is out for the no.nina
tion? an?? he has the advantage of a
long and capable record in the S ?o
it*-, plus an established machine. Hut
he. li!i?? Senator Taft. lacks color,
which in this day of the radio has he
conn- one of the most important politi
cal assets. At the moment, these
three men art- in the lead, with the
other prospects far behind in the
I race. Hilt, as in the case of the Pem
! ocrats. anything can happen. There
is an off chance that a deadlock
i might result in the Republican con
j vi ution and lead to the nomination
of some extremely dark horse.
Tin* recent polls indicate that the
1 Democrats still have the edge in j
popular fancy. They also indicate that
| the President is sitll the most popu
lar candidate, u ttheydoB nu il a
lar candidate. But they do not Rive
him any overwhelming majority?if
he did win. the polls say, it would

Herman Logan Held
On Federal Charges
An aftermath of the wild automo-1
bile chase of last July which resulted
in the capture of Herman Logan by
State Patrolman Quinn came in Ashe
ville Tuesday when Logan was held
for trial in the U. S. District Court
on charges of stealing an automobile
land bringing it from Georgia into
North Carolina. When Logan was
captured near Marble, last summer,
|he was driving a car alleged to have
been stolen from H. S. Hanson in At
lanta.
Following his arrest, Logan was
'netit to the roads, and on his release
was rearrested on the federal charge.
He will be tried next May. Meanwhile
he is held in jail in Asheville in de
