Personality pictures of Mrs. Hoover and Mrs. Smith have been given over the radio by their respective champions, and so_probably have started something that the statis- ticians never will be able to put into a ecolumn of figures—-how many women's votes will be swung in and out of line by the resulting barrage of chatter across bridge tables and back fences. Whether the women appropriate an issue of their own or not, they and their men folks have many others that vie locally with those of recognized na- ional importance. Voters in the lower Mississippi Valley put flood reltef at the top of the list. and incidentally there are plans afoot to have Hoover peak in Memohis, his headquarters ng the bz flood.

Any political camp lcomes an unexpected vote and voice t the Democrats may boast of more than that in the acquisition of the Republican Pierre S. Dupont of Dela- ware.
