Smith in his first article to day as editor of the New Outlook said: '. . . The country Is set for a change. I have already stated that I sympathize with this view, and that I believe the best interests of tho country will be Berved by the success of the Democratic party and the elec tion of its ticket. . . . "To all Intents and purposes the campaign may be said to be over. The real question Is what will the Demo cratlc party do with its victory? A change of government of Itself does not Insure Improvement of conditions. "On the other hand, the Democratic party has the great advantage of a liberal background and record. In the past it has never failed to be hospitable to new Ideas. . . . "The first Issue to be decided is what elements will control the Demo cratic party, because It must be ad mitted that the party Is not united and that it Is composed of a number or conflicting elements and Interests. This was clearly Indicated at the re cent Chicago convention. "With some of the elements and forces In the party, I am completely out of sympathy, not for personal reasons, but because I believe that they are Inimical to the best Interest of the country. "In my opinion tho Democratic party must purge Itself of these In terests ir It Is to serve the nation In this crisis." "Wo should stop talking about the forgotten man and about class dis tinctions. . . . The forgotten man Is a myth and the sooner ho disappears from tho campaign tho bettor It will be for tho country." "In the course of the long period which will undoubtedly elapse before the eighteenth amendment Is repealed or modified and In the face of the urgent need of new and fairer sources of taxation, the president still Insists on kicking away the hundreds of mil lions of dollars which could easily be raised by a tax on beer and wine.
