and endeavor to persuade hlra to
announce his candidacy. Oover
nor Smith has pledged himself io
do everything possible for the sue
cess of the National ticket. Ho
could bent render this service by
lending his enormous voto-Ketting
strength to the ticket Itself.
The Republicans are mindful of
the Democratic plans here In the
empire state and are prepared to
meet them. It is the Republican
idea to make the most of the
breach between Governor Smith
and William Randolph Hearst and
to encourage the latter to put
Mayor Hylsn of New York City In
the race for the governorship ad
an Independent Democrat or as a
progressive Democrat, or whatev
er name may be chosen for his
ticket. Mayor Hylan haH said he
would run If there was a demand
J*" him. Mr. Hearst Is expected
~1*? do all In his power to foster
this demand.
The feud Cetween Mr?~ HearsC
and the governor was never more
bitter that at this time ? the eve
of a Presidential campaign. Mr.
Hearst's newspapers also have at
tacked the evailabillty of Mr. Da
vis as the Presidential nominee.
Mayor Hylan of course stands
with Mr. Hearst in everything po
litical. There is no doubt that if
he were to take the field against
Governor Smith ho would win
many thousands of Democratic
voteB In New York City, and with
out a tremendous vote In the city
the Democrats could not hope to
carry the state.
The Democratic managers are
virtually powerless to dissuade
Mayor Hylan. His course un
questionably will be dictated by
Mr. Hearst and the latter is not
In a pacificatory mood at the mo
ment. Despite the Hylan throat,
the chances are that Governor
Smith will be renominated and
will make orio of his active, char
acteristic and eJToetlve personal
campaigns^
The Republicans are casting
about for a strong candidate for
governor. There still Is talk of
the availability of young Theo
dore Roosevelt, whose political ca
reer was thought to have suffered
a not-back at the time his chief.
Secretary of the Navy Denby, felt
.It necessary to reslicn from the
cabinet. There was no attempt
after that, however, to associate
I Mr Roosevelt with the leases of
i the Naval oil reserves. In the
meantime President Coolldge ha?
more than once shown his confi
dence in the son of the late Pres
ident and the young colonel was
a prominent figure at Cleveland
durlox the Republican National
? Convention.
There are half a dozen other
? prominent Republicans In the
state who appear to be willing to
be struck by the gubernatorial
lightning and who are anxious to
get their chance In a Presidential
rear. So the effort of Colonel
Roosevelt's friends to have him
IT/1 # fl,rthor *n the footsteps of
his father by gaining the execu

with many obstacles.
