THE EVENING STAR,. WASHINGTQN, D. 9 C., FRIDAY,. NOVEMBER 2, 1928 CITY AND COUNTRY SPLIT N NEW YORK i State Emphasizes Hoover’s Strength Outside Wet | . Industrial Centers. | — (Oontifiuéd From First Page) do not admit that Smith will carry those counties, but they say that the usual Republican lead may be cut down. For the Hoover ticket, the Republicans claim a 600,000 lead over Smith up- | State. One Leader Conscrvative. Now the Democratic State leaders | assert with great emphasis that New York State is “in the Smith bag.” One of the most important of these leade) who has his hand on the helm through- out the State, takes a more conservative view of the Smith plurality in New York | City than do some of his aides. He says | that Smith will run 500,000 to 550,000 mhead of Hoover in the greater city, and that Hoover will not come down to Ne York with more than 350,000 to 400,000 He puts Smith’s lead for the w! S at from 100,000 to 200,000. This | figuring, indeed. But this leader in: that his figures are based on a ch up with all the Democratic county leaders. 1 find here impartial observers who have followed New York politics for many years who give the State to Hoo- ver by from 100,000 to 200,000 vote “They are basing their estimates on the | big increases in registration, much as the | Democrats base their claims for Smith, but with a reverse twist. These observ- ers say that the women are going to swamp Smith in New York State just as they are expected to do in other States. They say that the farmers are all against Smith, that they have no use for the McNary-Haugen farm bill and its principles and that Smith, while he may | have helped himself by skirting danger- ously near to support of that measure in | the West, has hurt himself in New York. They point out that there has been a | real ruction in the Democratic organiza- tion in Queens County, part of Greater | New York lying on Long Island, due to | ewer scandals” and the fact that | the Democratic boss, Connelly, is now in 3 because of the investigation of the sewer scandal. The increase in regis- tration in Queens County, by the way, has been enormous. | The race between Al Smith and Her- | bert Hoover for President crowds out of | the limelight two other very real con- | tests in this State. They are for gover- | nor and United States Senator. Frank- | lin D. Roosevelt, Democrat, is opposing Albert Ottinger, attorney general of the State, for governor. In this case it is the Jew against the Gentile. Some o the same kind of prejudice that Gov. Smith faces in the presidential race is | operating against the Republican nom- inee for governor. Roosevelt Is Popular. | Roosevelt is very popular personally | in the State. He is campaigning hard | for Smith, rather than for himself. He is doing all in his power to bring victory to the man he has nominated three times for President] at three separate Democratic national | conventions. He has been dry in the | past, but he has set himself four square | with Gov. Smith on the prohibition issue | in this campaign, and has decla:2d him- self against the enactment of a State enforcement law in New York. Gov. Smith signed the repeal of the Mullins- Gage law, the old State enforcement act. This stand now taken by Roose- velt may cost some votes up-State, which he might otherwise have had. s e iag et ndone. Yot should cl e me. Yet shoul Mr. Rooseévelt 'be elécted Governor of New York this year and should Gov. L ) 7 | He Smith fail to win his way to the White House, there are those who believe that Roosevelt would loom as Democratic nominee for President in 1932, Attorney General Ottinger is no nov- ice in New York politics. He was the sole Republican to be elected to a ma- jor State office in the Democratic land- slide two years ago. He is popular and he has made a good record in the office of attorney general. He is generally credited with driving out stock swin- diers and thereby saving many millions of dollars to New Yorkers. In New York there is a huge Jewish vote. In the section of the city where they are strongest, all the talk is that they will support Ottinger for governor and Lehman, also a Jew and the Demo- cratic_candidate for lieutenant gover- nor. If Oftinger gets the solid Jewish | vote plus the Republican strength up- st he is very likely to be elected. | " There is danger, however, that he may be cut by some o fthe up-State Republi- cans and by some of the “silk stocking™ crowd in New York, City who are friendly to Roosevelt.” If Ottinger is elected he will be the first Jew ever to be chief executive of the Empire State. Bank on Houghton. The Republicans in New York are seeking to reclaim this year one of the ate’s two senatorships, both of which are now held by Democrats. They have nominated Alanson B. Houghton, former United States Am- bassador to Great Britain and before that Ambassador to Germany. He was the first American Ambassador to Ger- many after the World War and he was extremely popular in that country. Mr. Houghton is opposing Senator Royal S. Copeland. Democrat. Mr. Houghton is largely a name to most of the New York voters. They ve heard of him as American Am- bassador. They do not know him per- sonally. He was a member of the before he was appointed to the plomatic service, but he was little known outside of his own State. Sena- tor Copeland, on the other hand, was health commissioner of New York City before he was elected Senator. He has been in this country while Mr. Hough- ton has been out of it for the last six years. Besides, Senator Copeland came out strongly for Gov. Smith for the presidency and followed him into the wet_ camp. The Democratic Senator has been campaigning assidously for ~months. Mr. Houghton did not return to this country and get into the campaign un- til after he had been nominated for Senator at the Republican State con= vention the last of September. And even now he has only just returned to New York to take part in his own campaign from the Middle West, where he went in the interest of the Hoover candidacy. It is no secret that in Missouri, Wis- consin, Nebraska and other States many German-Americans have been hostile to Mr. Hoover, on the theory that his work as food administrator du the r had something to do with their discomfort in this country. The anti-Hoover propaganda was spread widely among the German-Americans by the Democrats. Mr. Hougton went into the Midwest to tell the German- Americans that Mr. Hoover had done a humane and great piece of work feed- ing the starving Germans after the armistice was signed. He made sev- eral speeches while there, and if rumor | be correct, has pursuaded Charles Nagle, | former Secretary of Commerce in the Taft administration, to come out for Mr. Hoover. Mr. Nagle is one of the most highly respected and influential German-Americans in the country. His word is expected to have much influ- ence in St. Louis, where he lives, once “ie has made an announcement for the Republican presidential candidate. Quite naturally, the fortunes of the candidates for governor and Senator are bound up to a great degree with the Repairing?

If Smith wins in New York, he is like- Iy to carry the rest of the ticket along with him. Should Hoover be the vic- tor, then the chances for Ottinger and Houghton are the brighter. In some quarters, however, the opin- ion is expressed that Roosevelt, run- ning for governor, may be successful even though Gov. Smith lose the pres- idential race in this State. The theory is that he may be able to get many votes upstate and even some votes in New York City that Smith will lose. A suggestion is made also by several Republican leaders that Houghton may stand a better chance of election than does Attorney General Ottinger, al- though no claim is made that he will run as strongly as will Mr. Hoover. Doubt is expressed about what the colored voters in Harlem will do. Tam- many has played up to this group of voters in the past and has voted many |of them. However, there are signs, |it is said, that a considerable number of these colored voters may swing back to their old allegiance to the Republican party in this election. New York presents as great a puzzle in this present election as does any other single State in the Union, not- withstanding the personal popularity of Gov. Smith. It is possible he may sweep the State, but the chances are that it will be a close election, which- ever way it goes. The answer to the New York conundrum probably will be found in the huge new registration in New York City. If it goes in great part to Smith, it does not seem Ppos- sible to defeat him here. CUMMINGS DEFINES PARTY DIFFERENCES Republicans Stand for Material Things, Democrats for Human Rights, He Declares. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, November 2—Homer S. Cummings, former*chairman of the Democratic national committee, in a speech at the Brooklyn Academy of Music last night said that the Repub- lican party was concerned principally with material things, while the Demo- crats concerned themselves with human rights. He charged that the Republican party was unable to “carry its suggested re- forms” into effect because it “is filled with people of enormous infiuence, who are using the party for private pur- poses.” “They were unsuccessful in 1912,” he continued, “because they had persist- ently served special interests which came to odds with each other. “I am not impressed with the fre- quent_statement of the Republicans that they bring prosperity. Most of the prosperity we enjoy today is the re- sult of a reform in currency and the establishment of the Federal Reserve system, which was effected by the work of the Wilson administration.” _—— More than 140 bands competed at the National Band Festival at Crystal Pal- ace, London, recently.

MILWAUKEE, Wis., November 2.— Senator James A. Reed of Missouri de- nounced Herbert Hoover as a “political chameleon” and a British “Liberal” last night in his second speech in Wiscon- sin on behalf of the Democratic presi- dential nominee. The Missouri Democrat touched enly lightly on “tolerance” in the campaign, on the tariff and prohibition, and de- voted most of an hour and a half in recounting the career of the Republican presidential nominee. “This is the most peculiar campaign of our history,” the Senator said. “It is the first time the Republican party hasn’t had a Republican to run as the candidate for its party.” With that sentence before him the flery Missourian attacked Hoover and the Republican party. “The gentleman running on the Re- publican ticket was named at Kansas City, but it takes more than the votes of a few delegates to change a British Liberal into a Republican or a Democrat into a Republican, or an internationalist into a Republican. Republicans are na- tionalists—they are Americen citizens.” The Senator added that Gov. Smith is an “American citizen without doubt.” Goggles for Dog Motorists.
