States representing than one of the voting strength the convention and the exnomination are now disposed to sit ercising a veto power over tight until the governor formally his declares his candidacy and position- on the prohibition issue. Unless the opposition does organize, there 18 every prospect the governor will sweep the party nomination off its feet and take by acclamation. If there develops stubborn opposition, the Roosevelt boom will. need some hard pushing to cross the two-thirds mark.

Roosevelt's warm reception in Virginia and Georgia this week, when he went on his vacation, gives further evidence of the enthuslastic support he may expect from the south. There comes added information that he is gaining steadily in the far west, the northwest and in of the midwest states. Those hostile or lukewarm to his candidacy admit that the governor has developed amazing he is not officially candidate. His strength in view of the fact. that boom has ahead on its own momentum but also it has countered so far no organized position.

TWO MAIN FORCES MAY OPPOSE HIM. look to Smith for leadership. SIX STATES HAVE FAVORITE SONS. There are two main forces in the party which may in the end be allied against. him if the decision.

is reached to oppose him in the convention; namely, the favorite son states and the extreme wets of the east. Roosevelt covers geographically much more than half of the nation but his support mostly is from the states with small votes. An effective combination of the favorite son and wet states under strong leadership might easily exercise a veto power to block Roosevelt. The big question now is whether that opposition is really to function or let the New Yorker have the nomination without a battle. The governor's attitude on the prohibition plank probably will de determine whether her there is to be fight.

If he wet enough to meet the challenge of the wet east, the opposition will crumble. The danger therein to Roosevelt is that he would lose some of his dry support in the west and south, but the wet gain would far offset such loss. The present management of the national organization is not for Roosevelt. John J. Raskob, the chairman.

and Jouett Shouse, executive chairman, have given Roosevelt no aid or comfort and probably will not. Alfred E. Smith is titular head of the Democracy in the nation by reason of having been the last presidential nominee and given no hint that he 18 for Roosevelt. His silence is ponominous. He is the acknowledged leader of the wet and will lead the fight for prohibition repeal it it reaches the stage of combat in the convention.

Many are urging him to be a didate. Those states which are not enthuslastic over Roosevelt Six. states, possibly seven, with 232 votes, may be held in line by favorite son delegations. They are Missouri, which has just declared for James A. Reed and refused permission for organizing a Roosevelt club in that state; Maryland, which is strong for Governor Ritchie; Ohio, which will go for Newton D.

Baker or Governor White, with the hope that Baker as second choice has a good chance of winning; Arkansas, with the sincere belief that Senator Joe E. Robinson is a winner; Oklahoma, on the chance he may win second for Governor "Alfalfa la Bill" Murray place; Illinois, which will stand for Senator Ham" Lewis, and possibly- Virginia, which thinks highly of former Governor Byrd, which in the eastern wet group Classed puts a wet plank ahead of any candidate are New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. Those states will. have 170 votes. York is not included.

It a fight develops over prohibition or Al Smith seeks to assert' him leadership in the state delegation, New York might split in half. Even with New York left out, which is hardly possible if there Is a real prohibition fight, the fav. orite son and wet states which might conceivably be lined up against Roosevelt show a minimum voting strength of over 400 and might ensily be pushed to 500. One of the difficulties such da favorite combination son 1s states that are some as dry of the as the eastern group is wet.
