RECOVERED the drownea TAMMANY MAY CAUSE SMITH GRIEF ATER HatMaMMM Friends of Governor Closely Watching for Naming of Campaign Manager MAY ABANDON IDEA Plans Call for Selection of Business Man But Leaders See Difficulties BY DAVID LAWRENCE 6eelal cable to the Dally Arum-Leader from the Consolidated PreM Auoclallon. Copyright, 1SW8I.

Washington, July 7. If the republican campaign management Is having a hard time getting started, there is consolation for them in the fact that the democrats are having a hard time tOO. i' The problem with the democrats is of an entirely different sort. The line of demarkation between Tammany and non-Tammany group of supporters of Governor Smith is beginning to grow wider and wider. The New York governor is not the kind who abandons any of his friends and therefore his unequivocal speech on the Fourth of July in defense of the Tammany tradition was considered more than a gesture of friendship for his associates but a willingness to meet the charge of his opopnents with respect to Tammany affiliation.

May Influence Course But if Mr. Smith on the one hand shows no signs of running away from Tammany, he is at the same time giving clear indication that he cannot allow Tammany to run his national campaign. The one fear expressed by disinterested democrats outside the New York atmosphere has been that the New York governor might allow his loyalty to persuade him to select a campaign manager with what is characterized as a "provincial attitude." Someone with a national viewpoint to whom the leaders from other states can go with their problems is being urged. The reason why Senator Gerry of Rhode Island is favored for national chairman is because he has a wide acquaintance among democrats throughout the nation, but it is no secret that the non-Tammany group behind Mr. Smith have wanted to go even further away from practical politics and select some outstanding business man.

May 'Abandon Idea The names of Melvin Traylor, president of the First National bank of Chicago, and Owen D. Young, chairman of the board of the General Electric company here have been mentioned again and again wherever national committeemen have foregathered. In fact at Houston, the talk was all of a man of the Owen Young type if he himself was unable to accept. The theory has been that a business man in the national chairmanship would Instill confidence in theb usiness world that the democratic party if brought into power would not be a disturber of business. But while the business man idea has been talked of, it is gradually being abandoned in favor of a practical political leader of experience.

The meeting of the democratic national committee on July 11 will settle the point but meanwhile the democrats are having their share of worry and the campaign cannot get started in earnest until a national chairman has been chosen.

State Highly Prosperous Charles Nelson Herreid, the fourth) governor of South Dakota, headed an administration that for the personal qualities of its leader and the thriving progress then prevalent over the state bore ready comparison with the national "era of good feeling" 80 years earlier under the leadership of James Monroe, fifth president of the United States.

i Herreid assumed office as governor in 1901. The state was at that time at the pinnacle of a prosperous period that marked its entire recovery from the lean years immediately following the depression of 1893. Farm jvtee were at a flood tide, neW settlers were thronging over the prairies, and as a result whatever there may have been of political unrest was swallowed up in the hum of business enterprise. Successful in Business Herreid, like Monroe, had done nothing spectacular to make him a popular idol. He was known merely as "the strong man" of his section of the state.

By opportune investment he had achieved outstanding success in business. Steady and active participation in politics had carried him to the top of the republican organization. He applied these experiences witn undivided attention to the executiveship. The result, both of the statewide prosperity and the steady guidance of Herreid was a four-year period of forward movement along all lines, with friction from all sources practically eliminated.

The navy announced today that the dirigible P-5 of the Japanese navy nose-dived Into the sea off Oppama, near Yokosuka naval station at 8:30 o'clock p. Thursday, when the pilot became blinded by a dense fog which obliterated the beacon lights and steered too low." Three officers aboard were drowned, two of whose bodies are still missing. Pour others were saved though one of them is in a critical condition. Wind Wrecked Ship The dirigible was occupied with night maneuvers and was not signalling the shore regularly. Anxiety was first felt at 9 p.

and an hour later a plane and four rescue ships went searching for it Searchlights on the boats picked up three survivors swimming within 20 minutes after leaving. They later discovered the wrecked airship. VThe survivors declared they were sailing smoothly but uncertainly when they felt the dirigible point downward, shortly after striking water with a crash. It is probable that the pilot lost his bearings, failed to judge nis altitude correctly and tried to slip under the fog to ascertain his location. The gondola was crushed by the impact but the survivors crawled out of windows, clung awhile to debris and then set off swimming, not seeing their drowned companions.

This is the second dirigible Japan has lost in 18 months. The other, much larger, was built by Oen. Umberto No-bile, and collapsed mysteriously during day maneuvers.
