New York, Aug. 2 H. ? C?ovcrnor Al Smith's decision not to
? p a candidate for a third term may l?e liual so far as his
XJn determination is concerned l?ul the sentiment to draft
'flfim for the oiriec is still to lie reckoned with, not only !**
cause of his popularity but because the lenders themselves

What is ultimately done
aliout the New York govern
orship concerns the national
campaign vitally.

the rare in tin- end may be eom
p.lled t?y political circumstances. :
There Ik iio man around whom
the nntl-KInn forces would rally
mop* enthusiastically to squelch
the Klaus ambitions than Al
Smith.
Tammany at In-art wants ' Al
Smith to make the race. Judge
Olvany, who succeeded Charles !?'.
Nrnriihy.' an leader of Tammany
Hall, plainly showed his regret
when ho announced after confer

wants to go back to private lite
and business. To the armament
that li?- would help the Davis-llry
an ticket more by running for of
fice again, his answer has been
that he can help it more by
stumping the Eastern states for
the .national ticket.
The national managers are neu
tral ?>n the question. They are
not ii rising any particular course
f. Hlim that the situation can h?st
develop of its own accord, that If
there is a demand for Al Smith
so strong as to sweep the state it
will l?e impossible for. the New
York governor to disregard it and
tliat the drafting of a candidate
by the voters under such condi
tions would give his candidacy a
popular momentum sufficient to
Insure victory.

There can be no question that
?*very day that the President says
nothing about the Klan
Democrat* are making political
rains. They run.trlif' stli'lirr

Inwardly had not the sIlKhtest
sympathy for til., society. The
fiiluic of tin- llcmocralic plat
form to name th.' Klan specifical
ly iMinn to cost many votes.
When John W. Mavis went fur
ther than the platform he recov
ered lout k round.
The psychology of the Republi
can voters who are Catholics and
Jews ami negroes Is not much ,
different from that of the Demo
crat* of those faiths. They feel
themselves discriminated against
unjustly and any one who remains
?(|eut on the Issue Is presumed to
l?. angling for Klan support.
i,i viintl i J jhc situation In this
section, one cannot e?d-.ipe the
conclusion that the Democratic
leaders themselves are not alto
gether Immune from political
selflfehms* In their policy about
the Klan. They know that prej
udices can be capitalised politi
cally and they are not hesitating
to do so Just as the Republicans
did In 11120 when they played to
the large number of Irish voters
on the League of Nations ques
tlon. . , '
It would not l?e surprising If
the New York state Republican
4iomlii"<s for local reasons came,
out a? strongly again*? the Klan
:.s have the Democrats. Thus far,
(?resident Cool Id ge has been
trongly urged by h?Ad?;rs outside

of th< Cardinal principles of the
Klan Is to oppose any Catholics,

of any kind. If would appear that
