GOVERNOR
AL
SMITH
PRETTY
SURE
TO
BE
DEMOCRAT
CANDIDATE
NEW
YORK,
May
13.
As
a
result
of
Alfred
E.
Smith's
declaration
of
politi
cal
faith,
published
In
a
tetter
to
The
Atlantic
Monthly,
there
seems
no
doubt
that
he
will
be
the
next
Democratic
candidate
for
the
presidency
of
the
United
States.
The
objection
most
frequently
heard
to
"AT
Smith's
candidature
was
that
he
Is
a
Roman
Catholic.
Ia
his
statement
the
Governor
says
there
Is
no
conflict
between
religious
loyatty
to
the
Catholic
faith
and
patriotic
loyalty
to
the
United
States.
No
opposition
to
CooUdgc's
candidature
for
the
Republlfan
party
has
as
yet
arisen,
so
political
observers
conclude
that
the
race
will
be
between
the
two.

The

fact
that
many

questions
assume
a
political
significance
about

apparently,

be
used
for

In

This

Is

cruel.
The

regarded
favorably
