Sine* Roosevelt's visit to tha g»it« there ha» been a marked •«wlno to the Republican party ticket In Oregon. In my opinion thla It due, first, to the disappointment of the people In Roosevelt •i)d his policies, and, secondly, to an awakening on the part of the people to the achievements of President Hoover and the necessity of continuing his far-visioned leadership at the head of the nation. To exchange the tried and successful leadership of President Hoover now for the new, untried and untrained leadership of tha Democratic presidential nominee would, in my opinion, not only defer for years the return of prosperity but might plunge the country into another crisis.

'Pl:"We should stop talking about the (Forgotten Man and about class distinctions," Smith declares. "The Forgotjtfen Man is a myth and the sooner he lifcsappears from the campaign the>betjlHiiv it will be for the country.", <- Despite the so-called "peace" ^ ought about between Smith and josevelt, with which the Democrats !aeek to win the support of the old Tammany medium for their ticket In ffew York, this "harmony" appears to be merely on the surface and for public effect AJB rival party leaders, there still exists between Smith and Roosevelt widespread difference as tg party policy. Smith, for instance, ii-ankly avows his opposition to some the alliances to. which the Roosevelt cause is committed. Among these nay be mentioned the Hearst-McAdoo •ombi nation, through which the Roose- Jtelt-Garner nominations were englfaeered at Chicago. The real question, Smith declares, what the Democratic party would <do with its victory? "The first issue to be decided," he says, "is what elements grill control the- party. Because it must he admitted that the party is not united, and that it Is composed of a number of conflicting elements. "With some of the elements and jfcrces in the party I am completely loot of sympathy, not for personal treasons but because 1 believe them to 'fee inimical to the best interests of 'the country.
