WHAT KIM) OF A WALK" DID AL MEAN?—IS
IT A REAL HIKE, OR IS IT ONLY
A “CONSTITUTIONAL?”
By BYRON PRICE
Chief of Bureau. The As
sociated Press. Wash)
A common four-letter
noun as in the picturesque
vocabulary of Alfred E.
Smith, is causing Democra
tic cross-word puzzle ex
perts more trouble than
any other million words in
the dictionary.
So flexible is the langu
age of politics that there
are a dozen guesses what
Smith really meant when
he told the Liberty Leagu
ers he expected to take a
“walk" if the Democratic
National Convention endor
sed the record of the Roose
velt Administration.
Where is the walk to take
place, how long will it last,
in what direction will it
lead, and where will it
end?
Did he mean it in the phy
sical sense, and does he
plan to attend the conven
tion, oppose such an en
dorsement, and then walk
out to the dramatic accom
paniment of cheers and
jeers when he loses the
fight?
Will he walk up the gang
plank of an outgoing stea‘
mer. and while away the
campaign in silence and
sightseeing? If he remains
on American soil, will his
footsteps lead him only a
round his familiar haunts
in New York State, or a
long the trail of national
political spell-binding?
Will he walk into the Re
publican Party for the time
being, or will he walk at
the head of an independent
party?
Or, finally, will he mere
ly walk around the block,
as he did after the Roose
velt nomination in 1932,
and be back in his accus
tomed place before election
day?
Definitions Don't Help.
Standard definitions of the
word do not help greatly.
The term “walk”, says the
dictionary, is used to de
note “the primitive method
of locomotion used by the
terrestrial vertebrates.”
Further down a walk is
described as “an advance
movement in which one
foot is always on the gro
und.” A walk also is “the
act of walking for enjoy
ment or healthful recrea
tion.”
There is listed the “walk
of life.” meaning “chosen
profession or habitual sph
ere of action”; but Mr.
Smith has taken the precau
Hon to declare beforehand
he will not become an hab
itual walker. He says he
'-'pects to die a Democrat,
'fhere i« the “walk-aro-i
und.” noted “a dance per
formance during which the
l over describes a large
V’ ty,p “walk-over,”

nsnifestly docs not expect
to have at the national con
en.;on and “walking the
VTV,” which he certa:nly
• ' "tec tie will have no
part in doing.
There is the act of “walk
ing by faith,” and on the
other hand the act of “walk
ing awry.” Lastly there is a
military term, “walk-ab
out,"which may be in some
degree applicable to the sit
nation. It means “that the
customary salute is waiv
ed.”
Break Believed Complete
Certainly the least Mr.
Smith can mean is that he
will not give the customary
salute when, as forecast by
all present expectations,
the national convention re
nominates Mr. Roosevelt
and commends his adminis
tration in glowing words.
In that respect, the break
would seem to be complete.
Among the congratulatory
messages to the nominee no
one will look for one from
E. E. Smith; nor will that
name be included in any
list of campaigners for the
Democratic ticket.
Smith has made known
his displeasure in words
which can be understood
without consulting the dic
tionary. Even if he now
becomes entirely silent,the
memory of his declaration
will remain a factor in the
campaign.
Beyond that, it is any
body’s guess what he will
do, what form of walking
he will adopt. The guess
of some of his intimates is
that he himself does not
know. By a single word,
capable of many interpre
tations, he has made him
self a center of supreme
curiosity.
A1 Smith has had many
colorful experiences with
the English language, but
none more interesting than
this. Nor has any party
been thrown into a similar
dither of argument over
the significance of a word
since Mr. Coolidge handed
the Republicans that fam
ous six-letter-verb in his “I
do-not-choose-to-run” state
ment in 1928.
