panies to use ip better equipping
and dressing their, men “

Break With Roosevelt Reveals A1
Smith As Embittered, Less Confident
Seems L«n Clear-Headed Than
Four Year* Ago. Opinion!!
Differ on Break.
Of the break between A1 8mtth
and Fianklin D Roosevelt, brought
to the front by the Smith speech In
Washington last week, the Asheville
Ottaen says:
“The Richmond News Leader,
whose editor evidently attended the
Democratic "harmony'1 dinner in
Washington, tells strikingly of the
effect which former Governor
Smith’s now celebrated speech of
Wednesday night made upon at
least one of those who were present
Under the heading 'Smith at the
Last Ditch,’ the News loader says:
“A1 Smiths undisguised attack on
Franklin Roosevelt set 1.500 Demo
crats a-buwing last night, but H
was a pathetic utterance. Smith was
introduced by Governor Janies M.
Cox In a very few word*. He arose
to scant applause. Hiu tace was led,
hla manner was one of suppressed
excitement, and though he tried to
strike out with his old art, he lack
ed the punch. In style and In ar
gument, he seemed very different
from the Smith of four years ago—
older, less clear-headed, less self
confident.
"There were some in the crowded
audience who ielt no doubt that if
rranklin Roosevelt makes his cam
paign on the line of argument, he
advanced in his radlp address of
April 7, he may excite class bitter
ness. But moat of those who arc o»
this mind probbaly realised Ism
night that Bmith was less concerned
about avoiding class resentment
than about voicing personal re
sentments. His utterance left the
Impression on many 'minds that he
knew he had played his cards
badly, that he saw he liad no hope
Of the nomination, and that he was
determined, as he passed out of the
picture, to make one rust effort to
prevent the nomination of his New
York rival;’
Apparently Mr. Smith had pre
pared his speech well in advance
and had given it out to the press
before he left New York, for In the
same issue in which it appeared the
New York Times had a long edi
torial declaring that the Smith ut
terance "comes to the public like a
refreshing breere in litid air."
The Times, as we have suggested
previously, has been veering more
and more away from Governor
Rooaevelt, and it is not surprising
therefore to find it maintaining
that the Smith speech "injects a
virile Hurt Incalculable lorce Into
the presidential election and prom
ises to redeem It from the Influence
and lassitude which rermed to be
descending upon it.'
The writer of the rimes editorial
could not have been at the Jeffer
son dinner. The writer o< the News
Leader article undoubtedly was
there.
The Nc*s leader, it may be m
order to remark, has not been sup
porting Roosevelt's nomination but
is for Newton D. Baker.
Frank R Kent, political corres
pondent of the BaHlmtte Bun. la as
enthusiastic in his praise of the
Smith performance as is the New
York Times But the Southern new
papers that have been heard from
thus far are unanimous In the view
that Smith's attack upon Roosevelt
was Ill-timed and indefensible. The
Atlanta Constitution, flatly accus
ing him of betng Influenced by sel
fish and ulterior motives, declare*
that his attitude is devoid of any
sense of fair lay and will react to
his own injury.
The Constitution is strongly for
Roosevelt now. but four years ago
It supported Smith with equal v'g t
and fine courage, when to support
him in Georgia took some courage.
