' wm m ' i l Nys ROOSEVELT PENS I By Paul Mallon Copyright, 1038. by Paul Mallon ;' BOSTON. Jan. 24. A rumor has i swept this section that Al Smith will tst his punches in his liberty league -:?rj speech Saturday r f.sjf iiiikiw - night. It seemfe I W to ba a ton tlD In upper New York state and Massachusetts. O n t of Ai's closest friends here says, off the record : "Advance pub licity on the speech has been o v e r p 1 ayed. It cannot possibly FALL MALL ON live up to expec tations. But Al has pulled very few punches In hla life. "His speech will burn his Roose velt bridges behind him with gaso line." . You can mark It down In your hat that the republican delegation from Massachusetts will be unpledged. The most eminent authorities here have passed word down the line to that affect. There seems to be no dis agreement. But this Is one spot where an un lnatructed delegation will not bo cov ertly for Hoover. The boys have de cided that emphatically also. Behind these unpledged republi can prospects you will find the es sential hidden weakness of the repub licans, which Is not confined to New England. It Is that there Is no outstanding leadership personality offering a popu lar focal rallying point. The leaders around here like Gov emor Landon ofKansas, but there Is little or no leadership functioning tor him on the inside. It was all fixed sdme months ago for Ted Clark, con fidential adviser of President Cool Id ge, to coma Into New England and set up a Landon bandwagon for the boys to climb on. Clark died before to could do It. Colonel Knox Is also relished here abouts. He Is a New Englander by birth and experience and probably will have a fair bulk of the delegates from this section. Mr. Hoover Is personally admired by the party leaders, but generally considered Impossible as a candidate. While opposition to the New Deal Is firm and widespread, It Just can not get around to congealing Into enthusiasm behind any one opposi tion man. Retired Assistant Treasury-Secretary Coolldge is just as talkative aa a certain former president by the same name.
