BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Ooy. A1 Smith of Now York Is the natural and Inevitable candidate of the democratic party for the presidency if the party decides to be wqt. lie has made the fight for slate rights on the prohibition queslino. He has twice carried New York state, which has the largest electoral vote in the Union, and he has a sympathetic fol- Lnving In the other populous eastern states.

The general supposition of those who have been discussing A1 candidacy is that the democratic party would come out flatly for a repeal of the eighteenth amendment Such strategy would be doomed to failure. What democrats would be GOV. AI. SMITH. more likely to urge, if anything, is chat the mure prohibition question bo taken out of the hands of the federal government for enforcement and left to the individual statew to interpret and regulate.

They would say to the drys: "You may have prohibition wherever a majority of the people of the sovereign states in the Union wane it. but do not interfere with the people in those wet states where a majority would prefer light wines and High to the Issue. The issue would be rights and not whether prohibition is a good thing or not. Gov. At Smith's memorandum signing the repeal of the LEVIATHAN LANDS SOO AT CHERBOURG Continues on Her Way to Southampton After Stop at French Port.

By the Associated Press. CHERBOURG. France. July The giant liner Leviathan arrived here today on her first transatlantic voyage a passenger ship under the American flag. She landed 800 of her passengers here and continued on to Southampton.

AWAIT LEVIATHAN. Much Interest Developing in Southampton as Ship Nears. By the Associated Press. LONDON, July 10. expected arrival of the Leviathan at Southampton late today is attracting Interest far beyond shipping circles.

The great liner's prewar antecedents, her disputed claim to the tonnage and her cargo of reputed millionaires on the present voyage have all been widely discussed in the newspapers, while the reported impending arrest of a large proportion of her crew for desertion also augmented public curiosity. Four Scotland Yard detectives left London for Southampton yesterday with about 200 warrants, which presumably are to be served on men accused of deserting British ships when attracted by higher wages offered In the United States. Evidently referring to the tonnage, Harold Sanderson, chairman of the White Star Line, in a public speech yesterday said there was a certain ship which claimed to be able to blow herself out as with a bicycle pump and then laid claim to being the largest vessel afloat. He added that the dock authorities would not object to the tonnage, but would make the owners pay for the hot air. The arrival of the Aquitanla without mails, which the American postal authorities are said to have held for the Leviathan, believing that the latter would arrive first, leads the Dally Mall to point out that a delay of twenty-four hours has been caused by this arrangement.

The coming of the big ship is causing some stir in Southampton, where it is announced that she will be open to the public on Saturday. The owners of motor coaches are advertising trips in the surrounding district for the occasion and are doing a big business. It is said that more than a thousand tickets have been sold for parties of school children alone. MOTHER DENIED CHILDREN. Chief Justice McCoy today denied a petition of Mrs.

Fannie Higdon for the custody of her two children, Samuel, twelve, and William, nine. Mrs. Higdon is contesting a Maryland divorce decree in favor of her husband, who has remarried. Mrs. Hldgdcn claims the divorce was illegal and that che Is still the wife of Higdon.

JULY 10. 1923. Mullen-Gage law would bo the platform of the party. The document has been analyzed and supported by some of the best legal minds in the country. and regardless of the attitude taken in western states, the fact is that there are ft great many votes available to a democratic candidate who stands on the rights idea, for prohibition is still a live issue in the I eastern slates, however, arid the west I may have become.

The democratic leaders will have to decide, first of all, whether they can win by a combination of eastern states and southern slates. If that is their strategy, they will forget about the agrarian discontent in the west and center their efforts on a wet candidate. There is one phase about A1 candidacy which bears no relationship to the prohibition question. It is his religion. Uolitlcians say that a Catholic could not be elected President of the United States and that it would be futile to nominated him.

This is predicated on the theory that religious warfare would ensue and that the candidate of the other party would be the beneficiary of such strife. Facts on the Other Side. On the other side of the question are some interesting facts. For instance, a Catholic has recently been Chief Justice of the United States, namely Edward ouglass White. Several Catholics have been elected to the governorship of various states of the Union.

Many Catholics have been members of the cabinet. There are a grfeat many people, moreover, who would resent the issue of religious bigotry and who would take the position that if the Empire state of the Union could afford to ignore religious questions and elect A1 Smith governor, so might the federal electorate itself. A1 opportunity, however, will not turn on anything but the prohibition question. His chances will be quickly determined Just as soon as it becomes apparent that the party leaders want to make an Issue of prohibition. The fight between the wets and the drys inside the democratic parly must be made first.

The last democratic convention re- vealed exactly that kind of a dead- I lock and it resulted in neither side being able to gel a plank in the plat- form. Gov. Smith 1 Coreir. Gov. A1 Smith has behind him a career which appeals to the imagination of the average man.

He is a self-made man. He is an American of the Grover Cleveland type. He has a keen mind and a rare faculty of getting at the bottom of tilings. His popularity in New York state was a fact before prohibition became acute as a political problem. He would have been re-elected in 1920 but for the general republican landslide.

He was beaten by only 70.000 that year while Harding carried the state with a million plurality. None flhis could be attributed to strength. The question which friends of A1 Smith are asking is when in the recent history of the democratic party has there been a man who could demonstrate such strength in the Empire state. The elements that have gone to make up A1 popularity in New "fork state are to be found In New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Elections used to be determined largely on what a nominee could do in New York state.

The solid south plus a few eastern states makes a combination of electoral votes that can win. Ordinarily this might be dismissed as futile, but this time there is a good chance that Henry Ford or La Follette will divide the republican electoral vote in the western states, where the democrats wouldn't have a look-in unless they had a radical candidate. Plan Month In View. Under such circumstances the east, plus the south, makes a winning combination. Will the democrats try It with a light wines and beer plank? If they do they will be bold enough to consider A1 Smith.

The democcratic party conventions are controlled. as a rule, by the organizations of the more populous states. A1 Smith has played hall with Tammany. He could start out with New ninety votes and probably would have the sympathetic support of Illinois and New Jersey and Massachusetts, too early to say how far his candidacy will get. but he will be in the running if the democrats decide to make the fight oti state rights.
