Dr. Work told the reporters that he was unfamiliar with her exact position in the Republican campaign, adding that she is a department of justice official and “a sort of free lance.” “Sometimes she goes out on her own,” he said, “and sometimes the committee sends her out.” . Someone asked if her address be- fore the Ohio conference and another delivered Sunday night at a similar gathering in Lorain, O., had been arranged for by the committee. Dr. Work referred the inquirer to Rep- resentative Newton of Minnesota, chairman of the national speakers’ bureau, who is now in Chicago.

Bismarck’s_ reception was tre- mendous. Fully 65,000 people thronged the station platform and the streets adjacent to the Smith special train. Great throngs of eager adherents, supporters, and well wishers, num- bering into the thousands, greeted and cheered the New York governor id the strains of “East Side, West ide, All Around the Town” and “Hail, Hail, Hail, the Gang’s All Here.’ Company A, of the first regiment was on hand to assist with the iar crowd, As the train came ie Elks band struck up “The Side- walks of New York” as the first Part of the official welcome to the presidential nominee.

The women seemed more interested in speaking a few words with Mrs. Smith and getting close enough, to accord her a hearty handshake.
