The section of the country where prejudice against Smith is strongest is the south. While there Is no sign of any organized third psrty movement In the south.

As to some of these stales, the predictions of Success for Smith are reasonable. As to some others, they are dehatsble. Aa to such a state as Pennsylvania, the prediction Is gro- tesque. The certain thing Is that If Smith Is the nominee, the Democrats must make their great fight In the large nortnern mo eastern states which have big cities. In order to make a fight In this territory, the Democrats must be "wet." For Smith to 'pussyfoot" on this Issue would deprive him of his principal leverage. Because Smith cannot recede from his wet position. It would seem to follow that the Democratic party, In writing Its plntform at the Houston convention, must tske the wet position.
