Smith, accord! to those who have watched the shift of gentiment through the Solid South since the Houston nominations. Charles Brewer, a former editor of the Fargo Forum, secretary of the old board of regents, and prom- inent in Dakota politics for years, senses a strong undercurrent for Hoover among the dry element and those who are inclined to be swayed een by their religious convic- joni rn Brewer is with th Times- e, New Orleans, of the THORESEN WILL BACK MADDOCK INSTATE DRIVE ‘Cannot Endorse.

So bitter has the contest become through church influence on the politics of their communicants that in many districts the Democratic machine has been badly shattered.

PRISON RACKET : INCLUDES DOPE- MONEY Morphine Exchanged for Coun- terfeit Money Within Peni- . tentiary Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 6.. racket whereby for 50 cents a “shot’ Tennessee state prison was revealed last night with the capture of Walter C. Fry, civilian foreman of the prison foundry. The source of the counterfeit money was revealed early Friday, after investigation for several weeks of Howard Barr, alias Ralph Lee, serving a 30-year sentence for high- way robbery. Officers who have watched Barr for some time pulled from his throat a dollar bill which he had raised to a twenty and tempted to swallop when the inves! tors entered his cell. Pens and inks were found attached to a string | tod: and lowered in a drain. Following the rail upon Barr’s cell, a syrit was found in the quarters of Will Craig, Memphis murderer, who is declared to retailer of the “gang. Fry was bs tricked by a ruse of Fed- eral Agent Leo Williams & man from whom he expected a quantity of morphine, for which he was to tender some of the: bills raised by Barr and some real money. A message had been sent through devious Bien channels several days. ago to Craig, offering to trade an! ounce of morphine for $35 in legiti- mate cash and five counterfeit Noida ed bills.

In any ordinary cam- paign, th Rh week a. geek ‘would see a large percent 0! e states so initely classified as Re- publican or Democra to exclude them from the zone of heavy fire. But not in 1928. The Democrats are sl ‘ious time and talent in sucl licans are gr 4 votes of the south, and are seeking to carry the Hoover appeal to every voter in states like orgia and Texas. One of the most spectacular skir- mishes of the wi campaign is taking place in .the northern farm belt, where for years the Dem- ocratic party has been hopeless: minority. Governor Smith’s passage te North Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin has been followed by rallying of his friends and foes ke. Senator Borah, summoning all of his force and eloquence to the support of Hoover, has come into the northwest to answer Smith, and is to be followed in turn by some of the ablest of the Democrats, Turning From Smith The Hepublicens, including James! 'W. Good, Hoover’s western manager, says the northwestern trend is now away from Smith and that earlier Republican apprehensions in that| quarter have been replaced by grow- ing confidence. The Democrats still insist that farm defections from Hoover are likely to turn this whole group of states into the Democratic column. While the east? 2 leaders were dis- puting over Mr. Hoover's chance the south, the Republican nominee himself contributed memorable!

Dixie Likes Hoover The latest forecast of the election y verdict in the south came from Horace A. Mann, the Hoover south- ern manager, just.on the eve of the nominee's trip today into Tennessce. Mann did not go into details but de- Hoover would as many electoral votes. as Smith in the southern state: Fat Harrison, in charge of that same being é for the Dem- ocrats, replied that Mann was only indulging “in a whistling campaign” to keep up his spirits.

At the pergy's convention at Rochester he rei red an account of his steward-| i; ship as governor, lambasted the New] i York Republicans, and was ao cen- tral reas at the conference which selec! his friend Franklin D.

The Republican invader of Democ- racy’s ancient ‘stronghold “exparidec his views on farm relief, prohibitior and other platform declarations. He made no reference to the religious questions that are stirring southern states, but he did appeal for fair play and good sportsmanship in the campaign. “We prove ourselves worthy of self-government,” he said, “and worthy of confidence as official proportion as we keep these free from abuse, free from misrep- resentation, and free from words and acts that carry regret. In a contest like this there is no place for personal bitterness. A great attribute of our political has been the spirit of fair play with which our presidential contests have been way in former years and the sportsmanlike spirit in which we have accepted the result.” Hoover confined his prohibition statement to a single paragraph in which he said: Amendment Purpose “The purpose of the eighteenth amendment is to protect the Ameri- can home. A sacred obligation is imposed on the president to secure honest enforcement and to elim- inate the abuses which have grown up around it; I wish it to succeed.” Adverting to his plan for farm re- lief, the candidate declared that “no such far-reaching it that “it marks our ire for estab- lishment of farmers’ stability and at the same time maintains his in- dependence and individuality.” In this concise language Hoover fonen mt ited the proposal for farm re- ef: “We stand specifically pleiped to srmpathetc with the mobi ce sympathetic w’ 1» be clothed with powers and resources with which not only to further aid plead spoperaiene, | 608 | eet generally in solving multitude of diffe le arise from but in pai initial advances of the government, farmer-owned and farmed-controlled: stabilization cor- tions which will protect the farmer, from depressions and demor- alizations of summer and periodic surpluses.
