Comment 07i the Day's News By FltANK JENKINS 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.
