POLL GIVES HOOVER LEADINHSTATE Literary Digest Figures Indi- cate Republicans May In- vade “Solid South.” Hoover is shown holding his strong lead over Smith in the semi-final re- turns of The Literary Digest nation- wide presidential poll published today and there are impressive indicati that the Republicans may eapture s eral States in the “Solid South™ that have been Democratic for more than 50 years. Of a grand total of over 2700.000 votes tabulated this week Hoover has 1,717,041 and Smith polls 971,356, & ratio of approximately 63 to 36. With the returns announced as nearly complete from all sections of the coui- try Hoover is ahead in every State witn the exception of Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina, which Smith is carrying with ample reserves. Though the Republican candidate has a plurality in Alabama snd Arkansas, his margin is so scant that the Literary Digest classes the outcome in both States as doubtful. Texas, which has the largest elec- toral vote of all the Southern States, is for Hoover by 51,269 to 34,683 votes in this “post-card election.” Florida shows a return of 17,247 to 9,162, or almost 2 to 1, for the Repud- lican nominee, and the Democratic strongholds of North Carolina and Vir- ginia evidence striking pluralities for Hoover. The Republican candidate is obtain- ing a majority of his strength from tac Democratic ranks in all 10 States of the South with the exception of Vir- ginia and North Oarolina, where most of his votes are shown to be from his own party. Border States for Hoover. The border States of Kentucky, Maryland, Oklahoma and Tennessee are each returning comfortable plural- ities for Hoover. In Oklahoma, he has a lead over his opponent of 22 to i. In the Northwestern States of Wis- consin, Minnesota. and North and South Dakota, which are classed as “doubtful” by many political authorities, the Literary Digest polls shows Hoover leading by odds as high as 21> to 1. In the LaFollette-Progressive center of Wisconsin, with returns from Mil- waukee included, the Republicans are polling 31,841 votes to the Democrats’ 22.071. In Maine, where a Republican gov- ernor was elected by a 3-to-1 majority in September of this year, Hoover is recelving 15,624 votes to Smith’s 5.361. Gov. Smith’s home State of New York gives him 183,420 to Hoover's 215,548, which figures are stated to be inclusive of New York City. New Jersey, considered as one of the battlegrounds of the current campaign, gives Hoover a lead in this week’s returns of 55,296 to_20,816. In a separate section of the poll in which the entire electorate of several large cities is being polled Smith has a decided advantage New York City with 139,020 votes to Hoover's 103,847, while Hoover leads in Chicago by 98,363 to 70,769 and in Philadelphia by 69,494 to 48,172. The analysis of “how the same voters voted in 1924” indicates that the Demo- eratic standard bearer is now receiving almost 62 per cent of his support from his own party, whereas in the earlier re- turns more than one-half of his votes were from former Republicans. Over three-fourths of the Hoover ballots are from 1924 Republicans and 23 per cent| are switching to him from his rival rty. p‘o{ the 435868 votifig <" this “1928 Literary Digest poll who state that they NG STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

By the Assoclated Press. UTICA, N. Y., October 26.—Praise for Gov. Smith’s stand on prohibition came from Franklin D. Roosevelt in the course of an address here last night in his campaign as Democratic nominee for governor. Roosavelt said, “no one need question my position in favor of law enforce- ment,” although he indicated his oppo- sition to another Mullin-Gage law, a State prohibition measure, the repeal of which was signed by Gov: Snith. “Any legislative change in the present EISEMAN’S " SEVENTH AN D F STREETS Dress Up This Fall on Our Liberal Credit Pla;z Pay in Small Weekly or Monthly Amounts, SUITS, TOPCOATS, O’COATS 25 Easy to 30 ON LIBERAL TERMS ] The best of the season’s styles are here.
