CANDIDATE' IF WANTED (Continued From Page Ono) With a full sense of the responsib ility thereby Imposed, I shall not In advance of the convention either support or oppose the canldacy of any aspirant for the nomination." Answers Questions Ho was asked if he would forbid tho use of his name In states that do not require the consent of a can didate for nomination. "I don't see how I can stop anyone from doing anything," he said. "Will you support any candidate selected by the convention?" "I am a Democrat. That Is your answer." "Docs this permit your friends to enter your name in various state pri maries?" "I will answer that by repeating I'll make no preconvcntlon cam paign." Smith declined, to discuss any party Issues. ABked what he thought tho principal Issue of the campaign would be he said: "I don't know." May Moan Deadlock Tho consensus of political com ment was that the Smith statement likely will mean a deadlock of the national Democratic convention at Chicago. Smith advocates pointed out that 770 votes are necessary to nominate, and that 38S are enough to block nomination. Many viewed the Smith statement as having the effect of putting him forward as an actual candidate, though the wording of the statement disavows this. Republicans generally expressed elation, believing a fight within tho Democratic party would bolster Re publican chances at the election. Press Comments Many In his home stato of New York Smith found tho press comment support or opposo the candidacy of mixed. The New York Times said it Is not necessary to Infer that Alfred E. Smith is suffering from "a bad case of that Insidious and almost lucurabe disease, prcsldentltis . . . His ambition Is honorable." and added: "Even the most blindly com placent champion of Gov. Roosevelt must see that tho entrance of Mr, Smith Into tho contest for the presi dency heavily clouds the governor's own prospects." The Times further believes that Smith's nomination would mark a "revival of those reli gious prejudices which so distressed thoughtful men In 1028." Tho Herald-Tribune noted Smith's "franKiiess and directness" to be "In sharp contrast with the pussyfooting and evaslvo tactics of Franklin D. Roosevelt," "No man." the Herald- Tribune said, "will be nominated against his (Smith's) wishes. That seems certain." In the adjoining stato of New Jer sey the Newark Ledger believes there can be "only one interpretation of his stand;" and that Is that Smith "Is determined to prevent Governor R oose ve 1 1 . . . f rom obtaining the coveted prize" the Ledger thinks the Smith statement "will give great im petus to the movement In favor of Speaker John Garner." James Farley, state Democratic chairman and supporter of the Roose velt candidacy, said: "Governor Smith has a perfect right to lwue the state ment," That was all. (The title "governor" Is still applied to Smith by his friends and political asso ciates)." Tammany Lenders Silent Tammany leaders were uncom municative. John F. Curry, leader of Tammany, said he would not' comment until he saw the statement In the paper. Edward J. Flynn. sec retary of state and Bronx Democratic leader, smiled and said nothing. In the south where Democracy's stronghold lies, much of the com ment was in a vein of regret that Smith should have taken this course. "It Is unfortunate for the Democratic party," said the Louis ville Courier -Journal, "for it certain ly means a struggle between Smith Force and , Roosevelt forces . . , . " The statement of Smith's "availabil ity" for the presidential candidacy is, in tho view of the Richmond. Va Tlmcs-Dtspat?h, "so unnecessary as to be slightly" pathetic." Tho Roanoke Times said the "mas terful statement" will serve to en hance Smith's Influence and position In tbe party. The Age-Herald of Birmingham sees reason to regret Smith's "pronouncement of recep tivity" and says the statement "tears a wheel off the Roosevelt band wagon." "If the Democrats lose the presi dency this year," says the Macon, Ga., Telegraph, "they may date the beginning of the end of their hopes from today." The Baltimore Sun, on the other hand, sees tho statement as "a thing of health for the Demo cratic party and for the nation, be cause it promises clash of opinion and the purification." . ' . . At Fort Myers, Fla., the News-Press comments: "Al does not choose to run but will accept tho nomination If offered. What American would not?" The Herald at Miami believes tho Smith statement will "remove tho fears of Gov. Roosevelt . . . The greatest possible threat to his candi dacy has been lifted."
