From Publisher To You

ONE of the most interesting theories about humanity is that one which holds reason in very low repute, and is of the opinion that emotion and impulse constitute about all there is to human activity.

ACCORDING to this theory, waves of emotion generated by leaders, fanatics, prophets-these make the world move, though naturally not always in the direction of progress. Indeed, any conception of progress toward a set goal is ruled out by this theory. Humanity resembles more the waves of the ocean. Sometimes it merely tosses up and down. Only when great leaders draw it or blow it in definite directions do things get done, whether good or bad. But first of all, it is emotion which moves humanity— and reason has not so much to do with it as we have been led to believe.

IN the light of this theory, it is entertaining to speculate on the coming campaign. For it instantly becomes very simple. All you have to do is to decide whether Al Smith can blow the waters hard enough to make them move.

FOR it seems fairly evident that, taking him by and large, Hoover is not of the brand that storms the barricades. He will not agitate the emotional ocean very deeply, for when the pool is still, it is normally Republican; and Hoover is not out to blow up any storms. Why try to blow your own pool anywhere? Seek rather to calm it, and devise measures to prevent too much tossing.

AL SMITH, on the other hand, in so far as he possesses political power, possesses it because he charms and moves, crowds of men. He gets the ocean to tossing. He is a blower, not a calmer.

THIS being so, just how much dynamic emotional power has he? Can he move men outside of New York State as he has done within it? Is he of the Roosevelt-Bryan-Wilson brand? Can he make ocean waves in men's hearts? If he can, he is our next President. If he cannot, Mr. Hoover is.

IT'S an entertaining theory, anyway.

"I Have Not"

July 4, 1928

INTO Houston doddered Norman E. Mack, Democratic National Committeeman from New York. Said he, at a time when Smith managers were trying to keep prohibition in the background:

"I hope that the prohibition plank will square with Governor Smith's position. He is for State's rights-that is, for the States deciding whether they shall permit the sale and manufacure of beer

after Congress shall define more liberally the limit as to an intoxicant under the Eighteenth Amendment. . . .

"Governor Smith has stood, and always will stand, for personal liberty and State's rights. He is opposed to prohibition. He is for temperance. . . . Governor Smith believes that if any State desires a certain alcoholic content of beverage, that State has the right to determine that content. If the State desires to be dry, then it is the right of that State to be dry."

Drys made much of this garrulous Worried Smith

statesman's remarks.

friend of the Governor so long as he keeps his prohibition record straight, asked him:

"In view of the question raised at Houston about Norman Mack's statement, the 'World' wishes to know: Have you changed your belief that there should be amendment of the present prohibition provisions?"

"I have not," said Governor Smith.

Regardless

GOVERNOR SMITH had not said, "I have not," when various prohibitionists were already declaring that nothing he could do or say would make him acceptable to them; that neither a dry plank at Houston nor any utterance of the Governor in favor of enforcement could change their opinion of him. They were for Mr. Hoover and his "noble experiment" and against Smith, regardless.

Chief among these uncompromising enemies were F. Scott McBride, General Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, and his co-worker and National Secretary, Dr. S. E. Nicholson.

managers promptly retorted that Mr. Mack spoke for himself alone, and induced him to make a similar admission. Nevertheless the substance of Mr. Mack's statements is the substance of Governor Smith's known attitude toward prohibition. He has never publicly advocated repeal of the Amendment. He has proposed a scientific determination of what alcoholic content is in fact intoxicating, modification of the Volstead Act in accordance with the findings, and the States to be free to establish their own percentage within that Federal The soft-pedaling managers at Hous- champion of law enforcement." ton had but a short respite.

And in New York next day Dr. Nicholson, taking up the challenge, said:

If Al Smith were nominated, prophesied Dr. Nicholson, the consequences

would be these: mobilization of the prohibitionists behind Hoover, the most militant campaign in the history of the Anti-Saloon League, and the worst defeat in the history of the Democratic Party.

First Citizen of Texas

THE first citizen of Houston, Texas, if not of the entire State, is Jesse Holman Jones, treasurer of the Democratic National Committee and the man who brought the Convention to Houston.

He was born in Tennessee in 1874, came to Texas when a boy, and his story is one of those so dear to Americans: the poor but honest youth who rises to eminence and fortune through hard, unceasing work. ing work. Today he is enormously wealthy, owning nearly forty large office buildings, among them the largest hotel and a thirty-five story office building now nearing completion. In addition he is the proprietor of the Houston "Chronicle," the leading afternoon newspaper. In New York City he owns six office buildings and apartment hotels.

He won the Convention for Houston by offering his own certified check for $200,000 and by promising to build a large hall. Since then the Texas Democrats indorsed him for the Presidency, and he was, as the Convention opened, the State's favorite son. A large, mildvoiced, placid man, Mr. Jones hides his tremendous energies behind an almost negative personality. He was close to the late Woodrow Wilson, directed the military relief section of the American. Red Cross in the World War, and has been active in countless civic and National movements. Once unlettered and quite without formal education, he has developed into a fairly good public speaker and reads extensively. He has,

EIGHTY years is a long time in the life, not merely of a man, but of a party. Yet the man who placed the name of Horatio Seymour before the Democratic National Convention of 1868 was present at the Democratic National Convention in Houston, puffing incessantly at a corncob pipe, his white beard bristling in vehemence when argument waxed warm. He was old Colonel Nick Bell, of Missouri, now. He was young Nicholas Bell, of Oregon, when sixty years ago he named the winning candidate in the Convention in New York. He has been a delegate to ten Democratic National Conventions, Secretary of three or four. He was an Assistant Postmaster-General under Cleveland and negotiated our postal conventions with many of the foreign countries. He was still active in postal affairs under Wilson and largely instrumental in establishing the parcels post. He is one of the last of the old, old school, of unswerving regularity, and powerfully impatient of candidates whose party record is not on straight.
