JULY 27, 1928

WOO FORCES LEAD DEMOCRAT BREAKJN WEST Grudge Against Tammany Causes Californian to Back Hoover. BY RAY TUCKER PALO .ALTO, Cal., July 27. The scars of Madison Square Garden have not healed among dry Democrats of California, led by William G. McAdoo. Still sulh ng in his Spanish home at Santa Barbara, the man who battled A1 Smith for more than 100 ballots in 1924 is expected to carry his grudges into the fall election. Though he will not talk for publication, his closest friends and political supporters have declared they would vote for Herbert Hoover, the Republican nominee. McAdoo Aid Shuns Smith. “I can not support Smith,” said John O. Davis of San Francisco, former Democratic State chairman and leader of the Walsh-McAdoo primary fight against the New York Governor. “He represents Tammany and that faction of the party has opposed the policies for which we stand. It fought such outstanding Democrats as Tilden, Cleveland, Wilson and McAdoo. To my mind, it represents the wet and reactionary group in our party.” Nathan Newby of Los Angeles, an intimate friend of McAdoo and an outstanding dry Democrat, echoed Davis’ attack, and will support Hoover. Almost every day finds the former allies of Smith’s 1924 foe aligning themselves with the Republican nominee. Women Backing Hoover In many counties the spokesmen for women’s Democratic groups here flocked to the Hoover standard in large numbers. Among these is Mrs. Katherine Braddock of Stockton. A member of the Democratic State committee, who has repudiated the party leader and his stand on prohibition. The western revolt against Smith and Tammany matches that in the southwest where ex-Senator Owen has declared for Hoover, and in the South where Senator Simmons and other party chieftains have indicated they might remain away from the polls on November 6. In this part of the country, however, the likelihood of a Democratic swing to Hoover is stronger than in the South, for there is no Negro problem to give pause to Californians dissatisfied with Smith’s leadership.
