ROOSEVELT BID FOR DIXIE'S AID GRIPS INTEREST Political Leaders Declare N. Y. Governor Realizes He Needs Support. fly Rr-rtjipt.jfotcarrt Xrtespaprr Alliance WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.—Franklin D. Roosevelt's apparent move for j a political understanding with A1 Smith today aroused speculation over the prospect that an alliance i between Smith-Raskob cohorts and "favorite son" groups may yet pre- j vent the New York Governor from winning the Democratic presidential nomination. Roosevelt’s managers, in the opinion of national observers here, must have been making some definite calculations, and come to the realization that, for all the sentiment on his behalf, they are not piling up enough actual delegate promises. That has been the opinion here , for some time, where certain national Democratic directors are known to favor either Governor Al- j bert C. Ritchie of Maryland or Newon D. Baker of Ohio, and the Roosevelt-Smith luncheon is regarded as a development of first importance. Would Need 44 More Facing the combined opposition of “favorite sons" and Smith, it is estimated that Roosevelt would have only 664 delegates, or forty-four less than he needs. Should John F. Curry, Tammany leader, take it into his head to go to the convention with an uninstructed delegation, thereby leaving his hands untied, this would reduce Roosevelt's convention strength to 574 delegates. All this, too, assumes that unorganized sentiment for Roosevelt in the west and .south eventually will crystallize in the form of ballots on the convention floor. Unless Roosevelt is able to conciliate the 1928 standard bearer, who is suspected of entertaining presidential ambitions, and is able to have Tammany with him, it is believed generally he faces a more difficult fight than has been expected. In the home-stretch he may have to turn to the New York organization. 226 for “Favorite Sons" The anti-Roosevelt strength, in ordinary political reckoning, consists first of the so-called Smith states, with a total of 172 delegates as follows: Massachusetts, 36 delegates; Connecticut, 14; Rhode Island, 6; New Jersey, 28; Illinois, 58, and Michigan, 30. Delegates from “favorite son” states amount to 226, as follows: Maryland (Ritchie), 16; Virginia (ex-Governor Harry F. Byrd), 24; Arkansas (Senator Joseph T. Robinson), 18; Ohio (Baker or Governor George White), 48; Missouri (exSenator James A. Reed), 36; Oklahoma (Governor William Murray), 20; Texas (Representative John N. Garner), 40, and Tennessee (Senator Cordell Hull), 24. CITY ETCHER HONORED Mrs. Mess’ Picture Is Chosen for New York Exhibition. “A Water Fantasy." an etching by Mrs. Evelynne C.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ST, LOUISANS IN STRONG PLAGE FOR COMEBACK ‘Pay as You Go Plan’ Spared City Extreme Distress in Depression. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Pres* Staff Correspondent •CoDvright. 1931. bv United Press! ST. LOUIS, Nov. 21.—Cautious and thrifty in past days of plenty, St. Louis is plodding forward now on a much better foundation than is the case in some localities. A big trade gateway to the wheat and cotton country, business is beginning to get the first traces of encouragement from rising prices in those commodities. St. Louis is a manufacturing center but it does not go in for “style’’ or “class” goods. It makes staples, like work shoes and chemicals, and does a tremendous jobbing business in groceries and clothing. It is the opposite of Detroit, which lives solely by selling automobiles. Therefore, it experiences neither the elation of boom times nor the extreme anguish in depression. Building Under Way St. Louis is, in its conservative way, carrying on a substantial public and private construction program, involving expenditure of probably $30,000,000. Miles of streets are being widened. Anew bridge is being built. Anew etrminal is under way. The St. Louis Star has started work on a new building and the St. Louis Globe-Democrt recently moved into its new building. St. Louis is showing the country how a conservative, pay as you go community can weather one of the nation's worst depressions. There has been just one bank failure. That was a small institution not even a member of the clearing house. When money ran out on the new courthouse job, wooden steps were built. The stone approach was left to another time. Never Swept Off Feet Business men here feel St. Louis has something which might be emulated by those communities which were swept into a fever of speculative frenzy zy the infectious ballyhoo of the rollicking days of 1928 and 1929. It left this city

ROOSEVELT GETS BOOST Middle West for Him, Minnesota Democratic Leader Declares. By United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 21.—Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt is an overwhelming favorite in the middle west for President in 1932, Joseph Wolf, Democartic national committeeman from Minnesota, said on his arrival here. Particularly in Minnesota, Wolf declared, is Governor Roosevelt’s name a household word, and “If the people in the eastern states feel in any way like the masses in the middle west, there will be no question as to a Democratic victory in 1932.” seeming a little drab by comparison. St. Louis wasn't up with the spirit of up and coming America, which demanded that every city keep on building furiously new apartment houses, hotels, office buildings, athletic clubs—anything —whether there were tenants in sight or not. The population was less inclined in 1929 to turn in good securities for the bounding market favorites of the big boom. So now they have on their hands less of those deflated bond and stock certificates which are hardly worth using as wall paper. They didn’t try to have two cars in every garage. St. Louis people admit business is far below normal. Bank clearings last month were more than 40 per cent below normal. Out of 387,000 persons normally gainfully employed, conflicting estimates of unemployed range from 45,000 to 75, r 000. The city spent $450,000 for relief last year. A community drive to raise $3,000,000 had to be extended this week because only half the sum was raised in the allotted time. “But you can be sure St. Louis will not ask for federal aid,” said M. M. Drake of the Chamber of Commerce. “St. Louis refused Red Cross aid after its two cyclones. It cared for its own. It will do the same this time.”
