  • THE CONTENDER a Year Before the Democratic National Convention of 1924 the Contest for the Party's Presidential Nomination
    THE CONTENDER A year before the Democratic National Convention of 1924 the contest for the party’s presidential nomination had become one between William Gibbs McAdoo and Senator Oscar W. Underwood, a wet, conservative Alabamian. A large number of favorite sons and other minor candidates, all hoping for the nomination if the two principals deadlocked, also figured in the preconvention plans of the leaders of the Democratic Party. At the time of the Mullan-Gage episode Al Smith was merely one of these other candidates. A few politicians and other observers had predicted, particularly after Smith’s impressive victory in 1922, that he would be a presidential candidate in 1924, but they had usually considered Smith to be only a minor contender for the nomination. 1 The prominence that Smith received from the Mullan-Gage affair – as well as from his subsequent, somewhat mystifying visit to the Midwest – heightened speculation about his presidential candidacy for a few months and led some of McAdoo’s friends to believe that Smith would soon commence an energetic national campaign for the nomination. Only a few commentators during the last half of 1923, however, ranked Smith among the leading contenders; and when he made no apparent effort to undertake an active campaign, they too began to discount his candidacy. By the end of the year, and even into 1924, nearly every published analysis of the Democratic contest either completely ignored Smith or else mentioned him as an afterthought, and even some of Smith’s most ardent enemies no longer regarded his candidacy as a serious threat.
