- HOOVER HELD SAFE. IN PENNSYLVANIA i T loN, ik ! Smith Shows an Amazing Strength in Philadelphia; - Far Behind Elsewhere. eral election this Fall, and during the city campaign next ye Mayor Mackey, it is said, is playing for big stakes and would like to Lo candidate for governor. Mackey was elected mayor over J. Hampton Moore. the candidate of the independent Re- publicans and the Democrats, by a vote of 248,047 to 166,110. Mackey man- aged Vare's scnatorial campaign and | had his support in the race for mayor. He doubtless would lixe to succeed to the job of being the political boss of Philadelphia, but there are others whn may challenge him in this ambition. ‘The inquiry into police and vice alliance in the city now being conducted is not helping Mackey to any marked extent In his race for mayor, Moore carried 8 dozen wards—better known as the independent wards to distinguish them | from the Vare controlled wards down- | town. These independent wards are mostly residential. The strange part of the present situation is found in the| fact that these independent wards are | expected to roll up a big vote for Hoover while the leaders are having a difficult time carrying or holding the downtown wards in line. There are great blocks of Italian voters and other racial groups, Catholics in the main, all of them wet, who are intent upon voting for Smith. Some of th> leaders have been inclined to let them have their head in this election. hoping to win them back in the municipal fracas next | year, when control of the city politics is at stake. Registration Is Huge. There has been a huge registration in | Philadeiphia and indeed in the whole of Tennsyivania. Both sides are claiming Sivantages from this added registration. But it appears that the Republicans have the bulge in the independent wards, generally speaking. The Vare wards have been better registered than the independents in the past. In Phila- delphia 733,000 voters have indicated their intention of voting this vear. Four years ego in th» presidential election 545,000 votes were cast in Fhiladelphie. ‘With President Coolidge gattinz 347.000, Davis 54,000 and La Follette the bal- ance, or about 45,000, ' For the entire Stete the registration this year is 3,971.876. Of this great total, 2,861,919 have registercd as Re- publicans and 867.301 as Democrats. The Republicans, according to thess figures, have a plurality of 2,000.000. The Democrats say, however, that a great meny voters also registered es Republicans will vote for Al Smith, and doubtless they are right. But copceding them a half million Republican regis- trants, it makes no real difference in the election. However, John R. Col- lins, chairman of ‘the Democratic State committee, goes right ahead c'aiming Pennsylvania for Smith by 150,000. It sounds entirely too optimistic. Women for' Hoover. ‘Throughout the State much of the new registration is due to the women | coming out, Generally speaking, the women in Pennsylvania are for Hoover, and against Smith. The Republicen women are well organized and are proving effective campaigners, Alle- gheny County, which includes Pitts- burgh, casts more votes than any of the other counties except Philadelphia. ‘There the registration has been 472,134, and of these 212,405 are women and 259.729 '?m?'fimfie hDe‘x:mcriu‘:s ?n claiming rg] going for Smith nobwitBstanding fluence of Secretary Mellon in ‘that . There {8 no doubt but what tae Republican lead is likely to be cut sharply there this year due to the wet sentiment and the other influences that are aiding Smith, but in the end Allegheny County probably will give Hoover 25,000 to 50,000 more votes than it gives to Smith, Smith's best chance in Pennsylvania apparently lies in the coal counties, Luzerne, Lackawanna, Schuylkill, Car- bon and Northumberland. Luzerne may give Smith a lead of 10,000 end | the other three, 4,000 or 5.000. Erie County also may go for Smith and one or two other smaller counties, in- cluding Monroe. But of the entire 67 counties in the State, Smith probably will not carry more than six or seven. Hover Sentiment Strong. In the great agricultural counties the Hoover sentiment and anti-Smith swn- timent is strong. They are exvected to roll up huge pluralities for Hoover. In some quarters much has been made of the fact that former Secretary Wil- liam B. Wilson of the Department of Labor, running against Vare for the Benate in 1926, carried the State cut- side of Philadelphia. But Wilson was s Democrat and had the support of hundreds of thousands of dry Re- publicans, who ulso were opposed to the Philadelphia machine. Gov. Smith is not only a wet, but he has also the label of the Tammany machine. In Philadelphia the leaders of neariy all the colored groups are lined up for Hoover. But for the first time in his- tory there was in Philadelphia the other night a parade of negroes, with a uni- formed colored band at its head, for a Democratic presidential candidate. All of which goes to show that many of the colored voters are off the Republican reservation in Pennsylvania as they are elsewhere. The political activity here in Phil- adelphia is literally astounding, when the various Democratic headquarters are considered. There are several, and they are crowded with visitors all day Jong. It has never been that way in the past. The Republicans are playing up the tariff and prosperity issues in Phil- adelphia and the rest of the State, and apparently with good effect. The Dem- ocrats are making more noise, but, the Republicans are relying particularly on house-to-house canvasses, which are usually very effective, President Coolidge carried Pennsyl- venia with a lead of 635,000 over the combined vote of Davis and La Follette. His lead over Davis was about 907.000. President Harding defeated Cox with a lead of 715,000. A Voluntary Bankruptcy.

Smith. Acked later what prompted his out- burst, this man, hoarse and weak from his efforts, answered: “I must do something. I'm from Washing- ton and we can't vote for him.” Al Sugrue, secretary of the Al Smith Democratic Club, headed the largest delegation from the National Capital, and they displayed two large banners from their place in the gal- lery behind the speakers’ platform. One of these read: “Al Smith Dem- ocratic Club, D. of C." and the . “Send Hoover Back to Lon- Six carloads’ of Smith rooters from Washington, who left” Baltimore about 11 o'clock over the Washing- ton, Baitimore and Annapolis Rail- way. were held up for a couple of hours due to failure of some part of the motor equipment. NORTHEFiN VIRGINIA POLITICS MUDDLED; DEMOCRATS SPLIT| (Continusd From First Page) and this city, but by a much reduced | majority. The anti-Smith Democrats cre not so thoroughly —organized in Albemarle County and Charlottesville as they are in ("> Valiey of Virginia and some of ies of the region east of the mountains, but they are, never- theless, ver Smith movem-~n c party is especially strong among the woman vowers. Much work is beint done in favor of Hoover by women’s clubs, many of the members and leaders of which ire Democrats. The regular Democrats are organized in Alberparle County, with 2 county committee, of which Wilmer Brown of Crozet is chairman. This committee is working hard for Smith. Its efforts are being seconded by Lemuel F. Smith, this county. In Charlottesville also is the Hoover headquarters of the Republicans of the county. Arthur H. Lloyd is chairman of the -Republican county committes. Here, as in oiher counties of this part of Virginia, there is a_working under- standing between the Republicans and the anii-Cmith Democrats, so far =5 their joint efforts to defeat Smith for the presidency ars concerned. A pro-Smith Democratic leader told The Star that some colored voters in Charlottesville and Albemarle County were expected to vote for Smith because of the activity of the Ku Klux Klan against him. These voters, so far as they may materialize on election day, wing of the Democratic party, since the colored voters here, as in most other places where they - ‘-, have hereto- fore been overwhelminglv Republican in their s“moathiss. Whatever gains the Smith faction may make in that respect, however, may be largely, if not altogether, offset by white Protestant Dzmocrats who are either openly or secretlv lending their support to Hoover. Methodist and Baptist ministers in and near Char- lottesville are openly opposing Smith, just as they are in the Shenandoah Val- ley and most other portions of the State. As for the seventh congressional dis- trict as a whole, the big question with everybody is whether the expected Dem- orratic mejority east. rg“ the Blue’:;awe e, Republican majorities expected in portions of the district ly- ing on the other side of the mountains. ‘There seems to be little doubt in the minds of leaders of both sides that Rep- resentative Farrison, Democrat, will poll 8 larger vote in the district than Smith, but it i3 believed, even by his stanch- est suj rs, that he will suffer some- what in Charlottesville and the sur- rounding county from the general Dem- ocratic defection, as he seems likely also to suffer west of the mountains. ‘Th> opinion prevails rather generally in Charlottesville, however, that Mr. Harrison will be re-elected to Congress. One hears much talk of the “silent vote” here, too. Many men and women decline fo say how they will vote. Doubtless some of them have not yet made up their minds, while others in- tend to vote for either Smith or Hoover, taking full advantage of the secret bal- lot_system under the Virginia law. Regular Democratic leaders in Char- lottesville told The Star correspondent the same thing he heard in the Shenan- doah and other counties already vis- ited, namely, that if the election had been held soon efter ‘the Houston con- vention, before the State Democratic and county machinery had begun to function at full draft for Smith, Hoover would have carried Charlottes- ville and Alb-marle Countv. Now it is be'ieved by the regulars that Smith is gaining votes steadily throughout this section, There are many complications, how- ever, and evervwhere one finds that Democratic families are split politically. It most frequertly happens that the husband is for Smith and the wife for Hoover in these friendly domestic dif- {ferences. There is nn acrimony ap- parent. On the surface everything 'ms smooth enough, but there is a trong undercurrent of sentiment on both- sid»s which an outsider senses after he has been in Albemarle County only a few hours. Many Democrats say they will not vote at all becaucs they “cannot” bring themselves to vote for Smith, nor do they want to break a lifetime record by supporting a Republican presidential candidate. On the other hand, many lifelong Demorrats are out and out for Hoover.

The cheering of all of these admirers was synchro- nized through the installation of about 100 large amplifier horns, which cartied | the broadcast from the armory to the | othar asmambioges, | Gov. Ritchie roused the vast gather- | ing to fever pitch of excitement and campalgn exuberation long before the | scheduled hour for Smith's entrance.! He plead~4 for the tim~ “wh»n no man | may challenge another’s right to office | th brcause of religion” He deslared him- | self_“enlisted for the duration of the | war” to restore their rights of self-| government ta the American peovle, and it was at thsi point that he renom- | inated Al Smith for a sccond term in 1932, while the crowd went into pan- | demonium. When Gov. Ritchie mentioned the name of Charles Evans Hughos there | was & “boo” and when he referred to| the Republican claims of prosperity | they had brought about, there were | derisive cries. When he asserted that | never again_can there be great finencial panic not because of annything the Republican party has done. but bacens~ the Anancial structure was thoroughly reorg>nized by Woodrow Wilson, th> crowd went wild again. Ritchie Hits Bigotry. Gov. Ritchie asked if any in the audi- ence really thought that the Pope in the Vatican had been biding his time for 900 years awaiting the advent.of Al- fred E. Smith to seize the American Government, and asserted that at no | time in the history of Maryland had | any Pope, cardinal, archbishop or any member of the Catholic hierarchy at- tempted to gain political power or con- trol. He characterized Herbert Hoover as “the man.you go to only if you don’t want_to vote for Smith.” He charged the Republican candidate with letting Bishop Cannons, Mabel Roach Stratons to forment bigotry and il win.” In conclusion Gov. Ritchie said it was a thrilling illustration of opportunity for all in this country. when a former Fulton Fish Market boy had so de- veloped and advanced that he comes with the acclaim of the prople knocking at the door of the White Hous2, and he urged his auditors to make the ideal come true by throwing open to nim the doors of the White House by their ballots on election day. Gov. Ritchie was followed by Sena- tor Bruce, whose speech was cut short by a cudden blaring of the band when it was thought Gov. Smith was en- will be a gain for the regular, or Smith, | terl ering. Yelling lustily, thousands of them having missed their dinners to be sure of seats in the armory, the vast throng | expressed its wild enthusiasm in re- sponse to several false alarms that Gov. Smith was entering the hall long befora the Democratic candidate himself nor the Democratic canddiate himself nor | the radio audience heard the real storm of applause. Band Blares Greeting. H2 was hearlded by the band playing “The Sidewalks of New York,” and when he walked into the glare of the calcium lights with his right arm rais»d | in characteristic gesture of greeting the vast auditorium looked as though a bliz- zard of snow had suddenly swep. through | as torn paper was hurled in clouds. During the hour of ,wm»gucqnlly every man's hat had been filled “Wwith torn scraps of paper, which were thrown aloft and from the galleries. Street fakirs had been through the throng supplying those who had not provided flags with small silken flags on canes. Cowbells, hundreds of shrill whistles and all sorts of Halloween noise. con- traptions were used to continue the din for more than 10 minutes while the hands on the big clock opposite the speaker’s platform climbed slowly to 9l o'clock, the hour at which the nation- wide raido hook-up was opened. Recalls Wilson Victory. Even when the candidate held aloft his hands pleading with the crowd to stop iis cheering and not consume cost- | ly radio time, it was with dificulty | that comparative quiet could be ob-| tained. Twenty-two minutes after hz! had entered the hall he said: “The last time that I was in this hall the Democratic party was making history in the nomination of one of the greatest men that ever headed this | Nation. It was in 1912, and it was the nomination of Woodrow Wilson. And T am sure that you all join with me in the expression of our delight and our pleasure in having Mrs. Wilson here on the platform with us.” And again the crowd drowned out the sneaker with its anplause. “T will take for my text tonight.” be- gan the candidate when gales of laugh- ter again interrupted, and he continued, quoting from his own speech of accept- ance. From that moment he had the crowd so much with him that he had fre- quently to ask them to let him do the talking. Almost every mention of the pames of “Hoover” or “Borah” were greeted with “boos” until he finally advised those thus interrupting to “save that up for election day.” Thanks Senator Norris. Gov. Smith interrupted himself per- | sonally to express over the Nation-wid> radio hook-up to Senator Norris of Ne- | braska, Republican, his_ gratitude for | the Senator’s speech in his behalf last Saturday night. When Gov. Smith reached the pro- hibition question the enthusiasm of the crowd interrupted him repeatedly as he said: “I believe that the eighteenth amend- ment and the Volstead act can be brought into harmony with the best thought in this country on that sub- Smith, ject. I believe that we can restore re- ! Call Miss White for Special Requests A Clean Sweet Wash spect for law. I believe that we can promote temperance. And I am satis- fied that we can wipe out official corruption, bootlegging, hi-jacking and all other ‘offenses against ' public de- cency and public morals that seem to | follow in the wake of this subject. “Well, following the old order of things, the Republican candidat> refers to it as “a ncble experiment,” and saye it must be worked out constructively, but does not say how. And then speaks about referring it to a commission, “Why, the American people can con- stitute ‘themselves a commission on this avbjsct. because evervbody knows all cbout it, and any one who does not can find out all he wants to find cut about it br consulting the senatorial records in Washington and getting the evidence of the Republican enforcement officials given under oath before the Scpate | committee that investigated the non- enfercement of it “Borah says the maintenance of the eighteenth amendment and the Vol- stead act is the paramount issue of the campaign. While he is saying that in ene part of the country, former Gov. Hughes in anothor part is saying, ‘Nothing can be done about it. It is a sham battle.’ " Assails Klan Activities. Next Gov. Smith turned on “that gal- kand of patriots known as the Ku X Klan" and offered his proofs that crganization is supporting and al- lied with the Republican national com- mittee. He told of a flery cross blazing out in the nict't beside the railroad in Indiana as symbolic of the Klan's defi- anc2 o himself. Feelingly he assured the vast throng now hushad by his fer- vor: So far as I am concerned I would sooner go down to ignominious defeat then to be elected to any office in this country, if to accomplish it I had to have the support of any group with su perverted ideas of Americanism.” H> renewed his statement that he “wants no supbort on account of his religious belief.” Many Rush to Stage. At the close of his speech there was a friendly stampede toward the stage so that as many as possibie might grasp the speaker’s hand. Before attending the armory meeting the goverhor and Mrs. Smith person- ally greeted the 3,500 women and their escorts who were at the overflow moet- ing in the Lyceum Theater. There the governor made a three-minute speech in appreciation of the royal weicome given him in Maryland and shook hands lv;'ll]}: several hundred across the foot- ights. Following the armory rally Gov. Smith and his party went directly to his special train en route for New York. He was in conference there with Gov. Riichie, E. Brooke Lee, Speaker of the House of Delegates, and other State leaders. His train left Baltimore at 12:10 a.m, Mrs. Smith Honored. The first feature of the day's cele- braiion mn Baltimore, outside of the carly gathering of the Democratic clan which converged upon the Rennert and Belvedere Hotels, was the reception and luncheon to Mrs. Smith and her dauvghter, Mrs. John M. Warner. the United Democratic Women's Club of Maryland, who came from eight were much impressed by Mrs. graciousness and When Mrs. Smith, arriving two hours ahead of her husband, stepped off the train at Union Station she was met by a committee of women headed by Mrs. Elizabeth R. Menefee, mitteewoman for Maryland, and was escorted in the car of Mrs. William Ca- bel Bruce, wife of the the senator, to the Alcazar Hotel for the reception and luncheon. s Mrs. Smith was gowned in autum- nal brown, with a close-fitting che- nille hat ornamented with a long bow on the right side. She was the re- cipient of four large bouquets of chrys- anthemums, and on the stage in the ne: | armory was handed a magnificient bou- quet ot pink rosebuds. Likes Spirit of Crowds. She evidently charmed all those who came in close contact. with her for there were frequent comments. among the women regarding “how well sh> would grace .the White House.” In reply to inquiries she said: “Oh no, I'm not at all tired. I love the crowds and the enthusiasm. I'm afraid when it is all over I will greatly miss the crowds.” She chatted pleasantly with those who greeted her and their comment in coming away was that the little crinkles about her eyes showed more of merri- ment than of ag2 in spite of the fact that she 1s a grandmother. At the luncheon Mrs. Smith met Nancy Fowler, a nine year old girl who recently sent Gov. Smith some vefses predicting his election. Nancy recited the verscs and was photographed sit- ting on Mrs, Smith's lap. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson and Mrs. Smith greeted each other warmly and divided the applause, Mrs. Wilson was costumed in black with a tri-cornered hat deco- rated with splashes of green, and on which was pinned a small jeweled Democratic donkey. During the luncheon those at the speaker’s table included Representative J. Charles Linthicum, William P. Cole, Stephen W. Gambrill and T. Allen Goidsborough; Mrs, Warner, Mrs. Bruce, Mrs. Menefee, Mrs. George M. Gaither, Miss Lillian Forwood and Mrs. Ralph Bolling. Mrs, Smith was not called upon to speak. Mrs. Smith Guarded. In leaving the Alcazar Hotel for the Mount Royal Railroad Station to meet the governor, Mrs. Smith had to be pro- tect:d from the eager crowd that crowded in upon her. She appeared to be enjoying herself immensaly.

JERSEY IS PUZZLE AS ELEGTION NEARS Many Local Issues and Coun- terbalancing of National Factors Confusing. BY BYRON PRICE, (Associated Press Staft Writer.) NEWARK, N. J. October 30.—Fit- !ting its politics to a pattern distinctly its own, New Jersey has furnished a prime reminder this year that a presi- rolled into one. Much as it has in common with its wet, industrial Eastern neighbors, local considerations have set this State apart in the contest between Smith and Hoov- er. The national issues have become tangled and obscured, and in these final days the politicians are speculating on {the possible weight of certain local as- pects of the situation. One of these is a legislative inquiry into the oper- ations of the Democratic_ organization headed by Mayor Frank Hague of Jer- sey City. Ahother is a row over regis- itration. A third is the possible reaction of North Jersey's strange mixture of racial and roligious groups to Gov. Smith’s personal appeal in the closing days of the battle. Republicans Claim State. With only a week to go, the Repub- licans set the State distinctly apart in their election claims, listing it as one of the least doubtful of all of the de- bated States in the normally Repub- lican East. The Republican State chairman even predicts a Hoover plu- rality of 250.000. The Democrats, how- ever, are making no concessions, holding to their prediction that Smith will carry the State, and placing great faith in what the nominee may be able to do for himself h~re in his final inten- sive drive for the North Atlantic sea- board. From the beginning, the New Jersey campaign has followed a devious path- way. Taking into account the known wet sentiment, the fact that for nearly a decade the State has been electing Democratic governors while going Republican nationally. the presence of Jarge foreign elements and the prox- imity w0 New York, the Democratic national organization was inclined even while the Houston convention still was in session to list New Jersey as safe for Smith. The nominee himself came into_the State and made a short speech and chatting with Mrs. Bruce, Mrs. Menefee and others. She was asked to give her autogravh to more than a score of trophy collectors and graciously acqulesced. A few minutes before the Smith special train pulled in she took her seat in the open car in which the governor rode in the parade. In re- <ponse to cheers from the many thou- sands gathered on the grassy s'opes Mrs. Smith stood up in the car and waved her hand several times, Mrs. Ritchie’s Note. Mrs. Albert Ritchie, the Governor's mother was prevented by illness from participating in the reception to Mrs. Smith. She sent her a note of friend- liness, however, which Mrs. Smith re- ceived on her return to the Belvedere Hotel after the parade. It read as fol- lows: “My Dear Mrs. Smith: “T am so very sorry, but fllness pre- vents my meeting you today. It would have given me great pleasure to add my voice to the welcomes you will receive. May I send my regards to your. distinguished husband and will you say to him that he will have no more appreciative listener than I to- night.” “With great admiration for wishing success to our | Sincerely yours, “ELIZABETH C.

Mr, Hoover obliged them, he select; Newark for delivery of his “prosperit speech. All over the State Republi- can leaders went to work with the tariff and prosperity as their principal issues. They appealed in particular to the million and a half employes in the Jersey factories. They dismissed the wet and dry issue as inapplicable here where such Republican leaders as Senator Edge are os openly opposed to the present dry laws as is Gov. Smith himself The Republican wets argued that the Smith modification plan was not feasible, anyway, and that it would not be desirable to have the| country half wet and half dry. Many Catholics In State. The Democral in turn, insisted that New Jersey's many industries would have nothing to fear under the Democratic tariff plank of 1928. Thus | the parties have reached a stage where the Republicans deny that prohibition is an issue, and the Democrats deny | that the tariff is an issue, while the vovers are showing increasing signs of making an issue of their own out of religion. There are many Catholics in New Jersey, including thousands of foreign descent in the populous in- dustrial centers, while the Klan has been a factor in the dry, Protestant sections out-State, While all of this was taking place, some of the principal leaders of Mayor Hague's, Jersey City organization, counted on as a great pillar of Smith's strength in th> State, were kept busy answering subpoenas and replying to various charges before an investigating committee appointed by the Republican Legislature. The mayor himself, who also is tl Democratic national com- mitteeman, s summoned before the investigators today at Trenton. ! Nor did this legislative thrust at Hague's dominance in State politics | come singly. Under a law just pass over the veto of the Democratic gov- ernor, thousends of names have been erased from the polling lists in Hud- son and Essex Countles, which contain, respectively, the Democratic strongholds of Jersey City and Newark. The Re- publicans charge that these rolls were heavily padded. The Democrats deny it, and charge a Republican attempt | to disfranchise Democratic voters. Whether many of the deleted name: will be reinstated by election day is problematical. Hague Is Optimistic. Despite this situation, Hague predicts that Smith will go out of Hudson County with 100,000 plurality, which he insists will be enough to upset any Hoover margin in the remainder of the State. The Democrats also count on a heavy vote for Smith in Newark and many other cities, although they con- cede that the suburban and country sections are likelv to turn out strongly for Hoover. Registration in the State as a whole has increased by about one- third, and the Hague organization It points out that the increases in Hud-|and son and Essex Counties totaled around 200.000. Claims of a Democratic victory are described by E. B. Mott, the Republican State chairman, as wholly ridiculous. He declares his prophecy of a 250,000 Hoover margin are based on detailed reports of a definite Hoover swing all over the State. He even is claiming Essox County by 40.000. Nor do the Republican leaders fail to point out to inquirers what a heavy turnover from previous presidential counts would be necessary to swing New Jersey to Smith. Although it has been choosing Democratic governors and Senators the State has been per- sistently Republican in the electoral college ever since the Tilden-Cleveland era. After voting the Democratic ticket for five successive times New Jersev quit_the party in 1896. It has given no Democratic presidential nominee a majority since, although in 1912 Wil- son did carry the State by a minority vote when the Republicans divided be- tween Taft and Roosevelt., Furthermore, the State gave Cool- idge 260,000 majority fdur vears ago over_the combined vote of Davis and La Follette.
