AL IMPRESSED BY RECEPTION ACROSS STATE North Dakota Gave Remark- able Demonstration for Al, Manager Says PLEASED WITH MADDOCK State Party Leaders Assure Brown Derby Candidate of Triumph BY J. G. MacGREGOR Political scientists, national and state, today were studying North Dakota after Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York had smiled his way from west to east borders Wed- nesday. From the time that the Smith special train on its last lap of a tour through the middle west entered the Bad Lands until the flaming red beacon on Governor Smith’s private car flickered out over the Red River on its trip to Minneapolis, the per- sonal party of the brown derby can- didate and the 40 odd newspapermen aboard sought to solve the political hodge podge prevalent here. They found a maze of parties with wings and factions that left them puzzled as to where the opening could be that would allow them to Deer at_ bedrock, to determine if North Dakota was debatable vote territory, if it was for Hoover or if North Dakota would go for Smith tes it did for Woodrow Wilson in Personally Smith expressed him- self as well-pleased with North Da- kota’s reception. He smiled broadly as the state leaders of his party told him that North Dakota would be in the democratic column in November. Crowds at Mandan, Bismarck, Jamestown, Valley City and Fargo gave him still more confidence. Joseph L. Cohn, persona! publicity representative of The Sidewalks can- didate, stated that party leader re- ception in North Dakota was out- standing. He said that more North Dakota leaders had boarded the train than leaders of any other state through which they had passed. It was a remarkcble demonstration of faith in Al. he said, and left him happy that North Dakota would cat ie electorial vote for Smith. Outlook Pleases Advisers close to Smith made that the Democratic nomin pleased with the outlook in th Dakota and with Governor Walter E, Maddock’s indirect endorsement. the outcome of a private conference and a conference with press repre- sentatives aboard the special train. A wave of enthusiasm for the New York governor which swept across Montana following Smith’s Helena speech was also reflected in North Dakota, members of Smith’s personal party said. Further, if there was any doubt about Smith having a fighting chance in the middle west, it was dispelled by the reception given the Democratic nominee after his Omaha farm relief, Oklahoma City bigotry, Denver waterpower, and Helena cor- ruption speeches. The four addresses have left a victorious impression in Smith’s wake, his advisers said. See Smith Drift Newspaper men were unanimous that the apparent drift to Smith in North Dakota closely followed a similar movement observed in other states through which they had passed. While Governor Smith would make no announcement a: the theme of his St. Paul address tonight, his staff indicated that he would prob- ably discuss waterways and the tariff, in which Governor Smith had found a great interest throughout the northwest. Minneapolis and St. Paul news- Paper men who boarded the train at Bismarck told the governor that farm relief, waterways, and the tariff were the popular issues in the Gopher state at present. At Bismarck, for the first time since the campaign started, Governor Smith broke a self-established rule when he spoke over KFYR, convey- ing his greetings to the people of both Dakotas. It was the first time that he hi ken from an inde- pendent radio station not in a na- tional hookup. Meets Maddock Following his typical brown derby wave to the welcoming. crowd, he was escorted to the state capitol to meet Governor Walter E. Maddock. What the governor of. New York said to the governor of North Da- kota was a typically American con- versation.
