P. CAMPAIGN ;Dcmocruts Confident, Pointing to Nominee's Past Victories. Women's Vote Sought. . GOULD LINCOLN. ALBANY. August 24.—Gov. Alfred E Smith has the cdge in New York State today. The election, however. more than two months in the future and the situation may change. The campaign is still in its infancy. But one thing appears certain—the Republicans must get down to brass tacks, must stop bick- | | ering among themselves and get some | | team work if they are to carry the | Empire State against the favorite son | | candidate. i Smith has behind him today a strong | Democratic organization, an organiza- | ! tion which is capable, in New York!| City particularly, of functioning with| 1100 per cent regularity. He has a| | areat personal following, which tncludes | many Republicans as well as Democrats. He has picked as the main issue in the | campaign the modification of the dry | | laws, and New York is a “wet” State, | | no matter what may be said of the | Nation as a whole. In his speech of acceptance Gov. | Smith has gone far along the path to allay the fears of the -business men with his assertion that he does not | mean to tamper too much with the pro- | tective tariff. He has aligned with him in this campaign some of the principal | | figures in big business, among them his | campaign manager, John J. Raskob. State Is Vital. It seems obvious that if Smith can- {not carry New York State, he has | | about as much chance as a jack rabbit | | to be elected President. He may carry | |the Empire State with its 45 electoral | yvotes and still lose, but it is essential | that he carry his home State. Not a | little of his campaign is being built around the idea. | If the Republicans of New York can | turn the trick and take New York this Noveraber, the eiection of Herbert | Hoover, their presidential candidate, 1s | |as certain as anything in politics can | be. So far, however, there has not been a great deal upon which to base hopes | of Republican victory in the State. The | death of the State chairman, George | Morris, has added further to the dis- | is | i | | organization of the Republican forces. | | Mr. Morris was popular. He was “reg- | ular” and a member of the organization |in good standing. But he had been fa- | | vorable to the nomination of Mr. Hoo- | ver even before the Kansas City con- | | vention. There are others of the old | organization, however, who appear more | |anxious to keep their grip and control | of the organization than they are to| boost the chances of victory for the ! national ticket at the polls ‘this year. | | They will fight hard to win the govern- orshiv, however. | Today & new State chairman s to | be picked in New York. Instead of| | turning to former Representative Wil- | { lam H. Hill, one of the original Hoover | leaders in the State, the organization, still dominated by Charles D, Hilles, | ! national committeeman; former Senator | Wallsworth and others, is | select H. Edmund Machold. While some | | Hoover leaders in New York have been | |inclined to fight, Mr. Hill has taken | the lead in saying that this is no time | for an intraparty fight and that Mr | Machold should have the chatrmanship | | if 1t will tend to bring about harmony. | Eltinge Mentioned. | There is some discussion of a com- promise candidate, and the names of | Philip Eltinge, collector of the port of | New York: George W. Greene, Albany as the radio, with its voice-saving qual- | % | County chafrman, and Edward Schoen- | eck of Syracuse have been mentioned | But Mr. Greene. for example, is quite | prepared to go along with the election | of Mr. Machold and regards him as well qualified for the job Many Republicans tenting themselves with saying that in | a presidential year “it is different,” that | thousands of voters who do not go to | the polls in an off year election will | cast "their ballots for the G. O. | nominee, are expecting the Republican | natfonal ticket to go through success- fully. But it may be different in a | way they do not expect. Tammany has | not always been so heart and sonl in a | national campaign as it is in this one apparently con- [ Not in years has a Democratic nominee | been chosen who s the for President kind of man who appeals to the Demo- erats of New York and other Northern States as does Gov. Smith President Coolidge in New York State {in 1924 received about 864,000 more votes than did John W. Davis, Demo- cratic candidate for President Gov. Smith, running for governor against Theodore Roosevelt, jr., recelved approx- imately 770,000 more votes than did Davis, although he only defeated Republican_opponent by In that year Smith polled 936,941 votes in_New York City, and Roosevelt onl 417975 In other words, he had a lead over Roosevelt in the efty of 518.966 votes. If he can approximate such majority over Hoover in New York City this Fall. the Republicans will have a terrible job overcoming 1t out in the State Furthermore, the up-State vote which in the past has been largely rural, is no longer 5o rural. ‘The citfes up-State are growing and they have the same tend- encles as the City of New York, and Smith appeals to their citizens as he does to the eltizens of the metropolis. Defeated Ogden Mills, Two years ago Gov, Smith ran against Ogden Mills, now Undersecretary of the Treasury and formerly a member of the House. He beat Mr, Mills by 267478 votes. His lead over Mills in the city that year was about 484,000 votes, Even when Smith was defeated for governor in 1920, in the Harding landslide, he ran 480,000 votes ahead of his ticket and lost to his opponent, Nathan Miller, by only 74000 votes.

Herbert Hoover is completing his first campaign trip—one that has taken him into 19 States from coast to coast and border to borger. Since leaving Washington on Jul; 14, the Republican presidential candi- | date has covered more than 8,000 miles, \‘ has been greeted by nearly a miilion people. delivered five prepared addresses, including that accepting the nomina- tion, and made more than two doz-: | rear platform talks. Pleased With Conditions. He returns to Washington early to- night to take personal charge of h campaign forces, gratified by condi iions as he has found them and heart- cned for the strenuous contest that is ahead in a campaign just now getting under way. The reception given him in Iowa, the State of his birth, and reports. he re- ceived while there from leaders from all of the great grain-growing States were particularly pleasing, for in going to the place of his birth to renew boy- hood associations he was moving into the one section of the country which had furnished cause for apprehension by at least some party leaders. While some of his advisers told Irover bluntly that the outlook in Min- nesota, Wisconsin - and some other Northwestern States was not as satis factory as might be, they said his ac- ceptance speech had been reacted to favorably and that there was strong in- dication that he wculd carry every State 1 the turbulent grain belt. As a result of personal talks with leaders the nominee was able to bring into line several who at best had becn only luke warm toward his candidacy ‘and others who had hesitated to an- nounce their support. Prohibition in Forefront. Hoover retyrns home with the cam paign issues drawn, and with the pro- hibition question standing well to the forefront as a result of the declaration of his Democratic opponent for amend- ment of the eighteenth amendment so as to permit State determination of the she i | | by the assembled delegations. including | liquor questiom.

Smith's acceptance address. | However. his advisers say he will dis- {cuss the prohibition question Ilater. | emphasizing his own declaration agains® | repeal of the eighteenth amendment and against any modification of the en- forcement laws which would permit that which the Constitution forbids. Hoover's campaign plans have yet to be mapped out, and details will depend | largely upon conditions as they develop | in various sections of the country. It ! is generally believed by his advisers. however, that he will visit the border | States and invade the South and also make some speeches in the East before his second swing across the country at | the close of the campaign so as to be 2! | his Stanford University home in time ¢ { vote on November 6. | | Given Send-off. | Upon his departure late yesterday | from Cedar Rapids the Republican can- | didate was given an enthusiastic fare- well by the citizens there. while 200 residents of his birthplace, West | Branch, were gathered at the station | there for a last greeting as his train | swept through the village, running an hour and a half behind schedule, due to a change of plans agreed upon in | the forenoon Rock Island. 1ll. was the first stop ;and several hundred persons were gath- | ered at the station.
