  • THE AVAILABLE MAN the Savage, Turbulent Struggle for the 1924 Democratic Presidential Nomination Firmly Established Al Smith As
    THE AVAILABLE MAN The savage, turbulent struggle for the 1924 Democratic presidential nomination firmly established Al Smith as one of the handful of American political figures who commanded immediate and serious nationwide attention. In the succeeding four years, his political successes and forceful administration as governor of New York kept him in the public eye and earned him widespread respect, while speculation about the 1928 presidential nomination shadowed nearly every action that he took. 1 Although Smith’s record as governor was his most impressive credential as a presidential contender, this was not all that people perceived when they thought about him and his possible candidacy. Since Smith combined in his person certain qualities and forces that had never before found a major representative in presidential politics and that roused explosive extremes of hostility and devotion, his potential candidacy put the Democratic Party in an agonizing dilemma. How Smith was able to capture the 1928 Democratic presidential nomination on the first ballot, despite the misgivings of some Democrats and the conviction of others that he was an unsuitable choice, is a singular study in political availability. In retrospect, Smith’s many strengths and the political bankruptcy of the Democratic Party of the 1920s make his victory, which he and his friends actually did little to achieve, seem as logical as anything can be in American politics, perhaps even inevitable. 2 Smith demonstrated his political strength by winning re-election in 1924 and 1926. His renomination in 1924 remained in doubt until almost the eve of the state convention in late September.

A main player on the world stage, the United States is constantly under the global media spotlight. Whatever your stance, you cannot deny that this North American nation has a lot to offer in terms of diversity; from the creaking depths of the Grand Canyon to the towering heights of Manhattan’s Empire State Building, the luscious tropical forests of Hawaii to the chiselled faces of Mount Rushmore, all fifty states are scattered with gasp-worthy natural wonders and impressive man-made marvels. The unrivalled entertainment capital of the world, the USA is bursting with theme parks, sports venues, and theatres. The turquoise waves of surf capital California and ski resorts of the snow-cloaked Rocky Mountains in Colorado provide ample excuses for adrenalin junkies to explore, whilst the palm-lined beaches of laid-back Miami and sweeping pastures of the Oklahoma prairies offer true relaxation. “Oh beautiful, for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain, for purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain.” The beloved patriotic song “America the Beautiful” hints at some of the country’s diverse, majestic landscape, which is certainly one of many reasons to visit the US but there are so many others. From its vast plains, snow-covered mountains, deep forests and strange rock formations, to soaring skyscrapers and a thunderous cultural scene, the USA is a collage of extremes. Nothing can prepare you for your first glimpse of Manhattan’s unforgettable skyline, your first ride in a yellow cab, the ubiquitous hamburger joints, yawning expanses of prairie, the sweet strains of New Orleans jazz, or the neon-lit excesses of Las Vegas.
