Alfred E Smith entered the grain belt of Minnesota today. He will make his fifth speech of his Western tour at St. Paul tonight, and it will be a di from the ma ect appeal for support of voters of the ag- ricultural Northwest. The tariff and other farm re , and allied subjects, are expected to form the hub of his address. By working late last night as the train traversed the farming| secticns of North Dakota and Western Minnesota, Gov. Smith completed the draft of his speech and was able to gaze around at the activity of the people pre. liminary to its delivery in the St Paul auditorium. A parade and reception at Min- neapolis this afternoon and a con- ference with representatives of the press are on the program for the nominee, A luncheon has been arranged for Mrs. Smith and the other women members of the party. \ Many reports have reached Gov. Smith during his swing through this region that a large majority of the 1924 La Follette followers are lining up behind him.
