paign* for two and poealbly
four candidates for the 1128 demo-
cratic presidential nomination ate
definitely under way. the New York
Times gays today.
The four aspirants named are
Governors Albert R. Ritchie of
Maryland. A. Victor Donahey of
Ohio. Alfred E. Smith of New York
and former Secretary of the Treas-
ury William G. McArioo.
The chances of Clem L. Shaver,

Neutral members of the commute*
who fear another deadlock betweei

said to favor him because of hi.
owa neutral attitude.
Governor Ritchie, the Times say a.
is described by some democrats as <
particular menace to the chances
of New York's favorite son. As an
indication of bis strength hk
friends -are quoted as pointing to
reports that Bernard M. Baruch. *
McAdoo supporter in 1924. favors
the Maryland governor.
In 1224 tjhe Maryland delegation

Governor Ritchie, hat it was con-
sidered probable that U woald

sive point were reached. Governor

Deaahej’s Handicap.
Governor Donahey. the Times
says, is considered handicapped by
the possible necessity for ruantat
this fall for a third term as a means
of keeping to the (ore during tht
pre-convention campaign. New
York democrats art quoted as
claiming bis campaign fa making
little headway oatslde of bis own
state.
Governor Smith's recant an-
nouncement that ha will retire to
private life at tba end of his term
has caused confusion in both dem-
ocratic and republican ranks.
The Times states that Albany ad-
vices indicate republican legisla
tors are planning to co-operate
with him rather than give occasion
to keep him in stat# politics by da
(eating any of hit program.
Democrate are wondering wheth-
er his announcemsnt applies to na
tionai as well as state politics, bu
the general belief is that It will
give him a free hand for the na-
tional campaign. There Is some talk
of ranntag his political protege
Mayor James J. Walker of NeW
York for vice president if the gov-
ernor is eliminated from the fight
for first place on the ticket. Mayor
Walker's recent tour of the Boat!,
and his sppeal lor co-operation be-
tween Southern democracy and
Tammany Hall to considered signlfl .
cant in view of his possible boom
for second place.
McAdoo Worries.
McAdoo supporters, the Timet
adds, are worried leet their cam-
paign assume an anti-Smith rather
than a pro-McAdoo complexion.
Some influential democrats, th
Times continues. are reported t<
be opposed to the nomination o!
either Governor Smith or My. Me
Adoo. whose names they fear would
again result In n serious deadlock
as in 1924. They are said to favor
the nominatiou of Senator Thorasi
J. Walsh of Montana, who declined
to become a candidate at the las*
convention. ,
