? mailnE tribute to ihe hold t;0v
ernor Smith lias on the Km pi re |
State that the Kt'puhllcuns at *hl*'
time are unable to find a man of,
real prominent* to take their
nomination. Kvcry prospective!
candidate is waiting to see what '
Al Smith is going to do. If he J
runs for a fourth term they have i
no keen desire to oppose him. If
Governor Smith had decided not 1
to run. then several good Repub
licans would get killed in the rush
of the "G. O. P." designation.
But Governor Smith, good pol
itician that he is. keeps his polit
ical opponents on the anxious seat.
He i? like President Coolidge, who
refuses to be smoked out on the
third term proposition. The Pres- !
Idem believes in keeping the boys
guessing. He feclg-ihat under the
circumstances he has a decided po- 1
lltical and personal advantage
which ho Is not disposed to sur
render. It Is the same way with ,
the governor.
Of course, it is true that (iov
?nor Smith last fall announced
solemnly and "irrevocably" that
#.? ''lhro?**ll with public of
fice. Ho said that Included "ev
erything." But Judge tieorge Ol
?sney, loader of Tammany Hall,
has told the whole world that Al
Smith is going to be governor
again und has added that follow
ing his fourth term as chief exe
cutive of the biggest state iu iho
t nion he will be nominated tor
the Presidency.
Ah Tammauy and Al Smith are
inseparable, the politicians gener
ally havo come to believe that
i Judge Olvaney knows what lie Is
alklng about and that the Kepub
Icans are confronted once more
rlth the Herculean task of trying
*0 knock the governor down.
They couldn't do it In 1024 with
i the full sweep of the Coolidge
j landslide in rtfelr favor and with
Young Colonel Theodore Itoose
