Smith's Proposed Candidacy Meets Heavy Opposition
Southern Democrats Are Not in Favor of Former Presidential Nominee
FORESEE PARTY SPLIT
Washington, Feb. 8—(UP)—A quick shout of opposition from the South has greeted Alfred E. Smith's statement against his father in 1928, again if the party desired. The theme of this opposition is that Smith had his chance in 1928 and should now step aside in favor of someone else. Dangerous accusations of political suicide" was suggested.
this move is viewed here as directly menacing the chances of his old friend and political ally, Governor Franklin Bush, to attack another aroused fear of another feel like the Smith-McAdoe battle which wrecked the party's choices in 1924 Many Democrats were outraged by a situation developed, are coming to favor elimination of both principals.
Garner Encouraged
This development has already given tremendous encouragement to friends of John Garner of Texas and Newton D. Baker of Ohio, all of which is being watched by not very well concealed Democrats, but now are beginning to be hopeful that old slag "We can always count on the Democrats to help us" is about to hold true again.

Disappointed in Smith
Mats. Hattie Caraway, Democratic senator from Arkansas, voiced a view which found found echo among southern Democrats. She said, "I matter because I feel like I should vote he received in the last election was a great compliment to him personally, it was the greatest blow the party has ever dealt with." The vote is unthinkable that a man who has been repudiated almost unanimously by the electoral college should even think of becoming the party nominee. "This was a mistake," Smith and do not want to birtle his achievements but I believe it would be political suicide for the Democratic party to nominate him again." Most of the candidates came from those sharing this attitude.

Some have no manners, but this is because he has not had a chance to learn them.
