ROOSEVELT wlna over Smith In
Wisconsin by a safe majority.
Flrat Al leta It be known that he
will graciously accept the Democratic
nomination If It cornea to him on a
liver platter borne by respectful serv
ants. Then he announcea that ha
really wants delegates who might
otherwise go to Roosevelt.
After a while, he will be taking off
his coat and working like a pirate to
get the nomination on any terms.
AS THESE words are written, con
servative Republicans In Wiscon
sin are claiming four delegates-at-large
aa compared with three for the
progressivea.
The conservative delegates, of
course, are for Hoover. The progres
sives are for Norrls, of Nebraska.
If a majority of Wisconsin Repub
licans should be for Hoover, it would
Indeed be quite an upset.
BUT in normally Republican that
la to say progressive Republican
Wisconsin, tbe Democrats roll up
an exceedingly heavy vote at the prl
marlea, while the Republicans cast
a comparatively light vote.
That, as you know, if you read the
newspapers, Is going on all over the
country.
THESE straws In the wind Indicate
the probability of a Democratic
victory thla fall. On the other hand,
don't overlook the remarkable capac
ity of the Democrats for getting into
a fight and so throwing away their
chances of victory.

P'AUL VON HINDENBURO, president
of Germany, goea to a dental of
fice to have some work done on his
teeth. A crowd hears of It and atands
round outside In the spring cold
until Hlndenburg comes out. When
he appears, he Is cheered wildly.
If there is one time more than
another when a man needs cheering It
is Just after he comes out of the
dentist's oifice. When, as In Hlnden
burg's case, he has both defeated
Hitler and come from the dentist's
office the approbation of the public
must be genuinely agreeable.
HERE Is an interesting fact:
In 1(131 Montana completed 633
miles of graded and graveled road.

390 miles of oiled road.
Among all the states In the Union,
' Montana was second In highway con
struction In 1931. being exceeded In
volume and mileage only by big
Texas.
IN THE paat, Montana has been not-
ed among travelers for her bad
roads. Evidently ehe la tired of that
reputation,

Montana Is a Western state, and
no Western state can long stand a
reputation for non-progresslveness.
