AL SMITH-DEMOCR- ...... 3.00 4.00 5.00 LEADER. ATIC The Utah Statesman is nob among that class who says Smith is through. We have made as careful study of the returns ag possible at this time and we are thoroughly convinced that A1 Smith is NOT through. The facts and figures, when analyzed, show that A1 Smith is the leader of a new Democracy and that his drive toward his goal was just a little short of success. Republican papers and unthinking Democratic papers are going to look at Hoovers forty states and then tell the world that the Democrats are completely drubbed. Republicans and unthinking Democrats are going to look at Hoovers six million popular lead and again tell the world that Democracy has failed. Has it? Let us look at the big Republican states in the East, the states in which A1 Smith conducted his great battle of the Atlantic seaboard." There are 115 votes in the states of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Maryland. This area represents about 12,000,000 votes and has Smith shot at this been the bulwark of Republicanism. bulwark and lost by 500,000 votes. In other words a half million votes properly sprinkled in this area would have meant that Smith would have carried the east. Let us compare some of the figures: In New York Cox polled 750,000 and Davis polled A1 Smith polled 2,100,000. In Pennsylvania Cox polled. 503,000; Davis 408,000; Smith, 1,000,000. A1 950,-00- 0. Connecticut, Cox polled 120,000; Davis, 110,000; Smith, 260000. Rhode Island, Cox, 55,000; Davis, 76,000; Smith, 120,-00- 0. Massachusetts, Cox, 275,000; Davis, 280,000; Smith, 785,000. Looking over the rest of the country we are Smith cutting the Republican majority in almost every state except in the South, where Smith lost heavily. In the South, even the states Smith carried, he only carried them by a few thousand votes. Tha tmerely means that the solid South is gone and that a Democratic core has been created in the heart of the Republican East We are well satisfied with the trade. Smith can now make his plans to capture the East and give Democracy a new birth. We believe A1 Smith is right and we do not believe that that long trail which started in the shadow of Brooklyn bridge is ended. We do not think that that heart which carried A1 past all the pitfalls of the lower part of the greatest city in the world, whieh carried him, uneducated, to a place far above that occupied by most intellectuals, is yet stilled. We believe A1 Smith, typical figure of the class who 'ntvfr has a chance," is still the leader of Democratic thought in this country. THE SOLID SOUTH. it Months ago we said Smith could do for the the solid South; we still Democratic prty would be to believe it. The solid South, that monument to bigotry, has at last gone where it will plague the other fellow for a long time to come. The solid south, the last civilized community in the world to quit slavery, shattered the Democratic party in the 50s. The solid south completed the ruin in 1860 when it split with the northern Democrats. The solid South was saved from complete destruction politically when Tammany congressmen interceded. That was Tammanys mistake. The Democratic party has never won anything, since there has been a solid South; a solid South meant a solid North and only at such times as there was a family fight in the Solid North has the Democratic party ever had any luck in the national field. The amputation of the solid South may be more or less painful, the patient at this time may be weak, but at least the operation was successful, the patient is convalescing and the solid south can now let the negro and the Ku Klux Klan wage their battle for supremacy. HOOVER AND WILSON. The solid South is gone; let that the greatest thing which go. A1 lo.se Hoover was introduced to the world by the war and by Woodrow Wilson. Hoover has been chided many times for getting his ideas from that great Democrat. Here is a sentence culled from Hoover's message of gratitude to the American people: "In this hour there can be for me no feeling of victory or exultation; rather it imposes a sense of solemn responsi- bility . . p THE UTAH STATESMAN 111 ATLAS BLOCK, Salt Lake City, Utah.

Such an arrangement, it was pointed out. would be contrary to American law. A summary of tho communication was Issued by the department today in view of Iqcorroct reports emanating from Iarla regarding tkrlff questions,1' but the text of the note sent by Secretary Kellogg was withheld because consent for ite publication hae not yet been received from France.

The French proposal on valus-atio- n was made in January, 1111. togather with one for tha United States tariff commission to make an investigation of the cost of production of certain Wench commodities in the belief 'that this would pave the way for a reduction in some American duties under the flexibla provisions of the tariff act. Tlie commission still hae this matter under consideration. Beth proposals ars linked with the negotiations for a commerclaf treaty between Franca and tha United 8'latos. The French government last year made it clear that tha treaty .which was to give tho United States treatment, could not bo concluded until the tariff commission investigation had been completed and the issue over appraisals had baen adjusted.

U A tentative roll of tha eastern band of Cherokee Indians living among North Carolina haa baen made by an enrollment commission, which finds that there are Indivlduala properly members of tho tribe and therefore entitled to altars in Its lands This roll will become final if approved by the secretary of tho interior. This tribe Uvea In the western pert of North Carolina on a reservation known aa tha Qualis boundary. These Indiana once defied the government, resisting the attempt of General Winfield 8-- Boott, nearly a hundred years ago, to round them up and remove them to lands west of the Mississippi river. General Scott removed most of these Indians and they became what ia now known aa ths Cherokee nation in Oklahoma. Tha lands of these mountaineer wards of tho government include about 41,000 acres In Jackson, Swain, Graham and Cherokee counties. The lands lie chiefly aa a fringe about tha great Smoky national park, now jn process of creation. Tha largest tract, at Qualls Town, whence tha reservation gate its name, contains about OO'.llt acres In Jackson and Swain counties. Tha remainder of the reserve (13(143 acres) la distributed In some fifty smaller tracts for 24 to 3.100 acres, through Graham and Cherokea counties.

The interior department thereupon caused a roll to ba made which, however, contained tha names ef many persona of mixed Cherokea blood who wars alleged by tha tribe not to ba entitled tq membership. Enrollment contest war held before the department in Washington, but a satisfactory solution, was not reached In view of tho continued objectione of th tribal loader. Subsequently, the department, to effect a final settlement of theee troublesome questions, obtained tha act of June 4, 1024, from Congress, which provided for final enrollment and disposition of tha affalra of thla band. Regulations .were In the fall of 1(25 for promulgated making tha roll. Applications were received on behalf of more than 13,000 persons, and a vast amount of work has been necessary, by the enrollment commission.
