Launch Move to Stop Roosevelt
Washington, Feb. 6 (AP) A sweeping realignment of Democratic presidential politics is about to be undertaken to stop Roosevelt. Alfred E. Smith will issue a statement tomorrow to open the way for his name in pivotal states. A nationwide effort will bring more favorite sons and uninstructed delegations into the picture. Speakers like John N. Garner and former Governor Harry Byrd will file in certain states. Roosevelt’s drive for delegates continues, but a stop-Roosevelt campaign is at hand with plans for national headquarters and pledged support from party leaders. Smith’s friends aim at states with best chances, including New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Delaware, signaling a disrupted, battle-ready convention backdrop.
