But even these lat- ter leaders insist that Smith “has a| fighting chance.” Certainly they expect | o cut the Republican majority by many | thousands of votes. They hope to carry Manchester, Nashua, Berlin and some | of the other cities by substantial votes | and to so cut the Republican majority | | in other cities of the State that it will |be difficult for the rural Republican | vote to overcome their lead in these centers. One leader assured me that 30 Republican voters living in my | street are wearing Smith badges today, |and declaring they will vote for the Democratic nominee.” This is a Repub- lican ward, it is said Manchester is a hot-bed of Demo- | erats although for the last eight years the city has had a Republican mayor. | The Democrats insist this is because the | Republicans have been astute enough to | nominate for mayor men of French { blood, and the French-American voters { have shown a tendency to vote solidly | for candidates of their own race. Silent on Religious Tssue. So far there has been little or nothing said in the campaign of the so-called religlous issne. If it is operating. it is operating quietly and under the surface. There are many voters who are members of the Catholic Church in this State. Many of them have been Democrats {in the past. Some of them have voted | the Republican ticket. But, irrespective. { their church affiliations, many of these voters are inclined to support Smith because of the wet and dry issues and because of the hard times in the Gov sonal fe spoke here ago and mad; the | of the State and the smaller | membership in this organization has dropped off greatly. it is said. | One of the most careful political | observers here takes the view that many »f the dry Democrats and Protestant Democrats out in the State are this year going to stand by the Democratic na- | tional ticket, notwithstanding the wet- e Democratic presidential can- d If he is correct, the Repub- ate. | licans will have to offset Republican de | fections in the cities by bringing thef: { full strength to the polls in the coun- iry districts, Deep Interest in Primary, At present the interest here lies large- Iy in the coming primary election, Sep- tember 11, The Republicans have two candidates for governor and a brisk fight is on. Charles W. Tobey of Man- chester and Ora A. Brown of Ashiand, are the contestants. Senator Moses has thrown his support to Mr. Brown and so has Gov. Spaulding. But Mr. Tobey has been in_politics for a number of vears, is an effective campaigner and the result is in doubt.

Smith has been re- sented by some of the wet Democrats here, and may cost him some votes in the primary. Democratic chances in the guberna- torial election, and in the election of members of the House do not appear particularly bright. The prediction is made by, Democrats themselves thal Gov. Smith will run_well ahead of the party ticket in this State, Straw Vote Favors Hoover. | The Manchester Union some time ago took a straw vote to obtain, if pos- | sible, the trend of sentiment in New | Hampshire for Hoover or Smith. The result of the poll showed Hoover lead- ing by two to one. But Republican leaders themselves admit that this poll | does not represent the real strength of the two candidates today. The poll | showed a preponderance of the women voting for_Hoover, but also showed a swing to Smith of many voters who, four years ago, voted for President Cool- |idge.
