DEMOCRATS SPLIT WHILE REPUBLICANS REVIVE

Philadelphia, June 22.

The stage is set for the opening of the Democratic. Party's national convention, opening to-morrow. There may be dramatic developments here in the next several days.

The consensus of impartial opinion is that the re-election as President of Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt, father of the New Deal, which a few months ago seemed assured, can now be secured only by strenuous and untiring efforts to round up every available vote.

Mr. Al Smith's declaration of war on President Roosevelt, and his influence with the enormous Catholic voting power in the United States, the allegations of graft in the New Deal and the Adminis- tration's failure to balance the Budget are among the difficulties facing the President at the outset of his campaign.
