Alabama and Arkansas are prac- tically a stand-off between the two candidates in this pre-election bal- loting and The Literary Digest re- ports that most of th: political ob- servers are inclined to place both of these states i+ the Smith column. With the exception of a few some- what doubtful sections Hoover is leading by substantial majorities in all of the other 42 states and the returns indicate his probable elec- tion by an ample margin. Republicans Invade South Other than the marked pluralities accorded Hoover in the great major- ity of states the outstanding fea- tures of the poll are the indicated gain of the Democratic nominee over the returns of his party in the official 1924 election and the strong Republican invasion of the South. Of the record-breaking total of 2,767,262 ballots cas in this “post- card election” Hoover has 63.2 per cent and Smith polls 35.7 per cent with the small remainder distribut- i among the several minor candi- The Literary Digest in its col- umns calls attention to a possible last minute switch of votes, such as occurred between the La Follette and Davis renks immediately prior to the 1924 election might reverse the return: in states from Hoover to Smith, and it is cautioned that this factor should be taken into consideration in determining the validity of the “straw” poll, for all of its ballots were returned and counted more than two weeks before the regular election. It is pointed out that in 9 separ- ate polling of Philadelphia, where post-card ballots were sent to the loover polls 69,704 48,429, or about . the 1924 elec- bout 614 to 1. Gets Chicago Hoo Likewise in Chicago, where all the! regi voters were asked to re- spond for their favorite candidate Hoover is leading Smith by 99,9168 to 71,810, a ratio of about 10 to 7, while four years ago Coolidge re- ceived approximately a 3 to 1 return over Davis in the regular election returns, showing a possible heavy Democratic trend in the larger cities. The poll indicates Hoover leading in New York State with a plurality of 218,920 to 185,659 votes with all the returns counted. In New York City, where it is stated every ac- credited voter was asked to vote in this poll, Smith leads his Republican rival by A770 to 105,864, while in 1944 lidge ca: rried al fi "fe | of maintain By George Clark THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE WINE DEALERS WATCH UNITED STATES VOTES Rhinelanders Take Sides in November Presidential Election “Now I'll tell you how Martha, here, fixes sweet potatoes.” IN 42 STATES IN FINAL LITERARY DIGEST POLL 2,767,263 out of a total of approxi- mately 19,000,000 ballots sent out, represent a proportion of 14.6 per cent, considerably above the average for polls of this sort, “The outstanding features of the completed poll are the great plurali- ties given Mr. Hoover in most of the States, the indicated Democratic gain over 1924, throughout most of the country, especially in the larg- est cities, and the Republican strength developed throughout the South. ; Poll Is Nonpartisan “The Digest,”. presents its figures in an absolutely nonpartisan way, or an ‘omnipartisan’ way, as one friendly editor puts it, with the de- sire only to get at the facts in the case and so fairly present them that its readers may draw their own con- clusions. “If there is a last minute switch in the present election it must be taken into account considering the validity of the poll. 2 HOOVER MAKES EXTRA SPEECH (Continued from page one) Assurance of peace, advancenient of prosperity, advancement of educa- tion and moral forces.” Hoover Train, En Route to St. Louis, Nov. 2,—()—Continuing his march through the border states in his final drive for the presidency, Herber Hoover today undertook the most strenuous program he will have on his journey to his California home. This included two set addresses, the first at Louisville just before noon, and the second at St. Louis tonight, besides brief rear-platform speeches in a number of towns in Indiana -and Illinois through which his special train will pass during the afternoon, For his day of rapid fire action, the Republican presidential nominee was encouragt by the acclaim which he had received in Maryland and West Virginia, the first of the four border states through which he assed after leaving Washington ite yesterday. Unscheduled fine The 5 1 train made an une schedules land, so that iloover might greet a large crowd gathered there. As the nominee appeared on the rear plat- form of his ate car with Mrs. ion as the train pulled Another enthusiastic crowd was gathered at the station at Mi jtinsburg, West. Virgi second stop was made. The nominee began final cam- paign speech-making at Cumbe land, Maryland, the next stop along his route. There he left his private car to talk about prosperity to a throng which filled tbe publ Square adjacent to the station and overflowed into a half dozen stree converging on this square. Defines Prosperity he basis of all progress, of all advance in our country must be it: continual’ prosperity,” he said. “Prosperity at base rests on there i job for every man — that ll be stable pnp lermant nd advancing standards of living. Interests equally upon a stable ag- ricultural indestry.’ | Reviewing then what he ssid war the ss of the country during the last seven of blican administration, Hoover said he could not believe that the American (asad ple “wish to abandon; these poll ent ‘which have «been by the Republican and without which results so terial ad- ha U. 8S. GOOD CUSTOMER} American Prohibition Turns Germany to Cultivation of Better Wine Bingen-on-Rhine, Germany, Nov, 2. —(AP)—The American presidential election commands almost as much interest in the wine growing sections Safe Dr. Pierre Bougrat, French war hero, who was convicted of murder- ing his patients, has reached the of the Rhineland as it does in the United States. The fact that Mr. Hoover is nerally regarded as favoring prohibition and Governor Smith as opposed to it, makes the Rhinelanders take sides quite as though they were American voters. Generally speaking the wine grow- ers take the side of Governor Smith while the wine consumers and those deriving their livelihood from te tourist trade are praying for the re- turn of the Republican party. Market Is Cut “Wine growing won’t be a profit- able industry until we can again sell our product to the United States,” a large producer at Hattenheim, the center for the much prized Marcob- runn, told the Associated Press cor- respondent. “Our best export coun- tries before the war were America and England. The British Isles now get their wines from the colonies and dominions, notably South Africa and Australia, which buy the plants in Germany and then nante the prod- uct after the famous vintages from which the plants are culled. It would be carrying coals to New- castle to attempt to sell wine to France or Italy. South America traditionally’ buys French win Our only hope, therefore, is the U: ted States.” “The worst thing that could hap- pen to German wine consumers would be for America to give up prohibition,” said a large restaurant and hotel keeper at Nierste’ : minute America begins buy German wines, domestic prices wit go up, and we won’t be able any longer to serve our guests good wines at modorate prices. The Ger- wine consumer is happy that at he can get fine wine for little money.” Tourist ‘Taste’ Germany His hope for Republican victory was supported by a number of tour- ist bureau managers in Rhenish cities such as Mayence, Coblence, Bonn and Cologne. American tour- ist ese, they ne er by <n means le up entirely of people ‘who wanted’ to “see” Gdns. There are many who wish to “taste” | it. Rhine ips and journeys to Munich, these agents believe, are sight seeing. Standing somewhat between these two views was that of the director of the Prussian vinicultural experi- mental station near Eltville. While agreeing that German wine export business had suffered greatly from American prohibition, he welcomed it in a sense in that he believed Ger- man wine growers were now turning more and more to the cultivation of highest quality wines, “Exquisite quality brands of Rhine, Mosel and Palatinate wines,” he observed, “will always find a market, even in so- called wine countries like Italy and France, because the connoisseur knows that their bouquet and flavor exist nowhere else in the world.” SMITH PARADES HEROES’ ROUTE (Continved from page onz) 4 down town business and financial districts were about. A score of bands played merrily. Ticker tape, tossed from high buildings, zigagged upon. the slowly moving motors. Tons of torn paper fluttered streetward until sidewalks ‘and pavement were covered. People shouted lustily, the sirens of the motorcycle escort shrieked, bluecoats—5,000 of them—adopted football tactics to keep the crowd in bounds.” It was a typical reenact- ment of New York’s pageant of wel- come, staged this time in honor of a native son. The nor, riding with Mrs. Smith, Mayor Walker and Geo: W. Olvany, head of Tammany Hall, grinned broadly and waved continue ously a lustrous brown derby.

CURTIS SOORES AL TARIFF TALK Points Out Inconsistency in Declarations Made by Smith in Speech En Route with Senator Curtis to Moberly, Mo., Nov. 2.—(#)—With Herbert Hoover moving on the Mis- souri battleground from the east to- day, his running mate, Senator Charles Curtis, was heading into the state from the north to participate in the double-barreled Republican at- tack on Missouri tonight. The sen- ator speaks at Moberly. At Des Moines last night the vice presidential nominee again assailed Governor Smith and told of Republi- cam hopes for farm sae A. J. Livingston of Spencer, Ia., who had questioned the senator at some length in his speech there re- cently, did not speak up at the meet- ing in Des Moines. He had sent no- tice to Curtis that he would be there to ask an apology for a reply to one of his questions in which Curtis had declared he was “too damn dumb to understand.” The vice presidential nominee de- clared at Des Moines that Governor Smith in his tariff speech at Louis- ville had credited the immigration laws and tariff protection to the ad- ministration of President Wilson, “or else he endorsed the Underwood tariff act of the Wilson administea- tion.” Curtis stated with emphasis that “the immigration law was passed in the extra session called by President Harding, and the emer- geicy tariff act was vetoed by Presi- lent Wilson but repassed in the extra session called by Mr. Harding.” Tomorrow the senator plans to re- turn home to Kansas, speaking at Wichita Saturday night. Monday he fe attend a rally at home in To- peka. : AVIATOR DIES IN TANGLED CHUTE Newport News, Va., Nov. 2.—(/P) A midair collision of, two planes from the Langley field tactical school yesterday resulted in the death of one pilot, Captain Robert A. Archibald of the marine corps, while the other, Captain Earl H. Deford, also of the marine corps, landed safely by means of his para- chute, Archibald, like Deford, attempted to make a parachute drop, but, pull- ing the ripcord a moment too soon, the parachute became entangled in the tail gear of his plane and he was hurled to the ground. The direct cause of the collision is unknown. Both pilots were consid« ered capable aviators, Pee i aioe dg widow and several children.

GRAIN LIVESTOCK GRAIN VALUES TREND UPWARD Hoover’s St. Louis Speech | Tends to Send Wheat Prices Up Chicago, Nov. 2—(AR)—Further rains and snow likely to prove bene- ficial to domestic winter wheat act- ed toward the last as an offset for earlier wheat price upturns today. There was also dwindling away of eastern buying of wheat for future deliveries, a circumstance in decided contrast with recent active purchas- ing credited largely to eastern sources. Besides, export demand to- day for wheat from North America continued slack, no fresh business of any consequence being apparent. Wheat closed unsettled’ at the same as yesterday's finish to 4c higher, (Dec. 1.16%@%, March 1.21% to %, May 1.23%@1.24). Corn varying from %c decline to Yee advance. (Dec. 83 to 88@'s, March 85% to 5, May 88 to %). Oats a shade to %c up, (Dec. 43%, March 44%@%, May 45% to %@%;. and provisons at 22c set- back to a rise of 47. Houses with foreign connections led the buying inthe wheat market today, but advances brought out profit-taking sales. In addition to purchases sed: on gossip about possible farm relief developments, reports were at-hand continuing to stress likelihood of reduced official crop: estimates in Canada. It was Pointed out that the Dominion gov- ernment reports are made in cooper- | © ation with those by provincial of- ficials, and that the Dominion es- timate would therefore probably make use of recent bullish figures from the province of Alberia, as well as-making modifications in re- gard to other provinces, Widespread rain or snow in the greater,part of the corn belt counted in favor of ‘buyers in the corn mar- ket. Besides, exporters continued outbid Chicago for corn at interior. points in UWlinois. On the other hand, is of latest unofficial crop es- ji that. the crop is iest in commercial corn sections and lightest in less important com- mercial corn areas. Decidedly unfavorable weather conditions over the corn belt com- bined with limited country otterings, led to fairly active commission house buying early in corn futures, but the bulge brought in heavy prof- it-taking and the upturn was lost later. Oats were dull, and prices held within a narrow range. For the mostepart, provisions kept about steady, although ribs were somewhat firmer.

While the price movement was by no means uniform, and there were (several weak spots in the list, major specu- jJative operations continued on the side of rising prices. is Buying again was selective in character, with activity centering in a small assortment of rubber, oil, farm implement and communications shares. Trading failed to maintain the terrific pace set last week. Call money was in plentiful sup- ply at the renewal rate of 7 1-2 per cent, which probably will be main- tained until after election, when a lower rate is ex . The time money market displayed an easier undertone. The huge increase in federal reserve loans led to belief in total stock ge r loans, as of Oct. 81, which will be made public in a aay or two, may set a new high rec- ord above $6,000,000,000. ‘The rise in Sinclair, which sold above 43 for the first time in five years, was attributed to buying by the Cutten interests, which recently acquired a large block of treasury stock. Kelly-Springfield was bought by the same group, the common crossing 24 to within a fraction of the year’s high, while both the pre- ferred isgues moved into new high ei on gains of about 5 points each, International Harvester and ad- vance Rumeley were bought on the belief that the increase in the total value of crops this year would be reflected ina better demand for farm implements next spring.
