Show UTAH STATESMAN SENTIMENT FOR SMITH IS GROWING AMONG OHIO DEMOCRATS IS REPORT FROM POLITICAL LEADERS OF STATE 6TRONQ SUPPORT SEEN IN CITIES AND TREND TOWAED SOLID DELEGATION FOR HIM IS LIKELY. (New York Times) COLUMBUS, OHIO. Ohio Democrats are ready to go over to Governor Smith of New York as their candidate of New York a their candidate for president next year, according to gossip one now hears . here. A tide of Smith sentiment ii held to be rising in the state. Politicians are saying it would not be surprising if the Buckeye state ent a practically solid delegation to tke next convention for the New York governor. Evidence of the trend toward Governor Smith Is seen hero In the attitude attributed to Colonel William W. Durbin. Democratic state chairman for a number of yean. Ho iaaued a call for a conference of "Propreaslvo" Democrats In Chicago to discuss organisation for the presidential primar. lea next year. Thla was Interpreted as a movement of "dry" Democrat! in opposition to Governor Smith. But friends of Colonel Durbin have recently spread the impression that the purpose of tho Chicago conference waa misunderstood and that Colonel Durbin la now convinced that Smith sentiment is dominant In Ohio. The authenticity of these reports Is not doubted. Their Importance lies In the fact that Colonel Durbin la the only man In the state who la credited with sufficient personal strength to organise a formidable revolt against the Intentions of tho city leaders generally to support Governor Smith. Thla Is true as to Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo, Dayton and smaller cities. . COL. DURBIN'S ATTITUDE. The tip as to Colonel Durbin's attitude was given recently when an interview with bis son was published venturing the guess .that Governor Smith might have a practically solid delegation from Ohio, Thus far no overt move has been made by the followers of the New York executive. So far as the public generally knows, he has no organisation whatever In this state. It la recognised, however, that a group of leaders have been getting together quietly In hla behalf. The director of these activities la generally believed to bo former Governor James M. Cox, Democratic candidate' for president in 1920.

Sants r Politicians assert that neither Governor Smiths religion nor hla known liberal views are no much a handicap as the general impression that he la a "big city man" with little knowledge or appreciation of rural problems. For thla reason then exists In Ohio a demand that he acquaint the country with hla views on domestic questions, such as farm rpllef. Ohio Democrats generally are staunch advocates of some form of agricultural readjustment and many plan. openly favor tho McNary-Hauge-n Advocacy by Governor Smith of the solution of tho farm problem probably would make It certain that he would gain a practically solid delegation from the state. If he has a weak place It la In the rural districts as the Democracy of the cities la credited with practically solid support for him. The defeat of the Marshall "Kangaroo Court" bill by an overwhelming majority In the recent election has added strength to the Smith cause. The majority against it 477,000, was the largest ever recorded in the state on any referendum. The result has been partly to break the grip of the league on Ohio politics. It also has made timid politicians leas fearful with respect to league edicts. League attacks on Governor Smith are not taken as seriously an they were a month ago. It also la said that Governor Smith may offset dry opposition by giving assurance that he does not saloon. favor the return of the Bat who Is CUns and ass of why his Whatever name he la called Baata Clans, Bt Nicholas, 8L Nick, or Kiics Krlngle he la the personlflcstlon of the Christmas spirit and the symbol of childish faith. Santa Clans, originally glnterklaas, the pet name of the Dutch children for their friend and Bishop 8L Nicholas, came to America hy way of New Amsterdam, now New fork. December 8 was 8L Nicholas day, and on 8L Nicholas ere ho was believed to make his rounds on a fiery white charger, leaving gifts for good children and a birch rod for the bad , ones In the wooden shoes or long bine . stockings which they put In the chimney corner. When the Dutch easterns began to merge Into the English In the colonial days, the observance of 8L Nicholas day gradually merged Into the Christmas and New Tear's Soon after the Revholidays. olution Blnterklass began to change and to become Santa Claus, an American character. Instead of being a tall, solemn person with long rubes, popular tradition nude him a fat. Jolly person wearing knee breeches and - shoes with Dutch buckles. He also began making his rounds In a little wagon drawn bg a fat pony, and hla visits occurred on New Tear's eve In--. 'stead of December fi. Washington Irving had something to do with the change In Banta Claus, for In his "Knickerbocker's History of New York" he wrote a description of. this friend of the children which made him look much like the Santa of today. However, It remained for Rev. Clement Clarke Uoore, professor of oriental literature In the General Theological seminary, to describe ' Banta Claus minutely and to give him eight reindeer and a sleigh for making his rounds cm Christmas eve. In 1822 Professor Moore wrote the poena which he called "A Visit from 8l Nicholas," but which is better known as "The Night Before Christmas, as a Christmas present for his children.

Saturday It waa made known that Governor Smith had given emphatic orders to tho Tammany Hall leaders In New York City that they must abolish negotiations with Democratic spokesmen from other states to promote the governor's nomination for the presidency. Men high in the famous political organisation state that prominent Democrats from many states have culled to offer their support to Governor Smith, but he has absolutely refused to receive the visit- ing delegations. He refuses to talk about the presidential nomination or to do anything to Influence the next Democratic national convention. A few days ago, a delegation of Michigan Democrats went to Albany to sea Governor Smith, seeking permission, to place hla name on the ticket In the The governor primary. Michigan courteously but firmly declined to see the visitors and sent word that he would not consent to having hla name on tho primary ballot In Michigan or anywhere elae. The delegates from Michigan replied that, slnea their state did not require the consent of the candidate for the use of his name, they were going back home and put Governor Smiths name cm the ballot. There can be no question that today New York's governor la hy far tho strongest possibility on the Democratic aide, and yet this strength has not been built up through any campaigning efforts on the part of the governor himself. Hla strength seems to increase from day to day, and even those who do not favor hla nomination are forced to admit that at this time at least he has more enthusiastic support for the presidential nomination than all of tho other Democratic presidential possibilities put together.
