There are those who hold that the McAdoo Al Smith fight will again be to the fore in the Democratic National con vention in 1928, and it is very pos sible that they may be. But there is one man who may break into the contest and end it even before it is begun, and that man is Governor Vic Donahey, pf Ohio. Elected Governor in 1922 and again elected by on im mense majority this year while Cool idge carried the State by a great big -vote, Governor Donahey is a man who must be considered in mak ing; plans for the Democratic party m the future. Governor Smith in all probability mill be a candidate for the Senate in 1926 as successor to Senator Wads worth. At the same time William 'Glbbs McAdoo may become the Dem ocratic candidate for the Senate civil and criminal terms.

The Republican majority in the Senate will be small. The Senate has a membership of 96, and therefore a majority is 49. In the new Senate the Republicans will have a nominal ma jority of 56. Of this number at least four have been in the past out and Official returns from all states show that President Coolidge in the election November 4th piled up a to tal of 382 electoral votes against 136 for Davis and 13 for Iji Follette.

William Walton Kitchin governor of North Carolina six terms a representative cress from the fifth North district, was a member of a family long prominent in the public life of this State and of the United States. He was born at Scotland Neck, Oc tober 9, 1866, and was the son ot Capt. William H. Kitchin, widely known as "Buck" Kitchin, and Maria F. (Arlington) Kitchin. The crowning triumph of his public career was his nomination for Gov ernor in 1908. In the campaign of that year he easily won over his Republican opponent, J. Elwood Cox, hy a large majority. In 1912 he was a candidate in tne primaries for the Democratic nomina tion for United States Senator against Senator Simmons.

Then there are three others who have not been as insurgent as the four, but who have not been regarded by the regular Republicans in the past as dependable for all parts of the party program.

To la pre re Railway (rowing W hen the Republican national con vention in Cleveland finished its work last June there were plenty of shrewd Republicans here who were willing to bet two to one that the next President would be a Democrat. When the Dem ocratic national convention adjourned in New York last July, Democrats predicted that Calvin Coolidge was certain to succeed himself as Presi dent on next March 4th. The Demo crats lost both the Presidency and the congress in their convention wran gle. The party's initial blunder was carrying the convention to New York where it was torn to shreds by fac tions. Then it nominated one of the ablest men any party ever presented to the electorate of the country for its votes but one of the weakest can didates. It shakes the faith ol many persons in the durability of poPlar j government when they see a people overwhelmingly prefer a man like Coolidge to a man like favis at meir head. But the wreckage of the electioB has taught the Democrats one lesson that they are not likely to forget in 1928 and that is that the Republicans have pre-empted the position of th conservative party, in uemocrauc party must be progressiva to live ana prosper.

Af ter the 1920 debacle the party came hack in 1922 w ith almost a majority in both houses of Congress. Hut leading Democrats here recog nize there is a witle difference be tween the defeat of the party four years ago and on last Tuesday.
