NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SITH N BORDER STATE ON TOUR New York Governor Within Con- fines of Oklaboma -Governor Smith's En Route to Oklahoma City, Sept. and greeting” campaigning, carried well inte the night through the Kansas farm belt, Governor Alfred E. Smith was in the “border” state of Oklahoma today prepared for his second formal bid for the presidency tonight at Oklahoma City. The democratic presidential nomi- nee had made up his mind on the line of attack he will follow in his second speech in the west, having worked late last night on an ad- vance manuscript between welcom- ing demonstrations at more than half a dozen Kansas citles, includ- ing Topeka, home of Senator Cur- tis, the republican vice presidential candidate. Speech Not Known Just>what the nominee planned to say at the auditorfum had not been announced. There were indica- tions, however, that he intended to make his stand there one of the most important of his western tour. Probably taking @ shot at party bolters and countering against critics of his public record. The religious question, one which has ‘stirred Oklahoma politics in re- cent years, also was on the lips of many us a possible theme.” Word had reached the train that Special Train, cratic political meeting had been in progress. Several thousand persons surrounded the Smith private car and “spnt up a wild shout as the traln came to a stop. Bands struck up the “Sidewalks of New York,"” as had others aleng the way, and demands were persistent for a speech. Shakes Many Hands Again politely declining, the gov- ernor confined his stay amidst the capital throng to shaking hands. The crowd became 8o dense at times that the govermor and his daugh- |ter, Emily, frequently went to the | railing and waved back those climb- |ing aboard. Two women were said |to bave fainted. “Somebody’'s going to get hurt,” the governor warned and then turn- ing humorously to the uproarious crowd asked for a Wig policeman who could best stand the jostling. The city police chicf approached. Taking him by the hand, the gover- nor amid laughter, informed those | within close range: “Now if you want to say vyou shook hands with me, go around to the police station tomorrow and shake ‘the chief's hand.” The leader of a neg band, wear- ing a blg black beaver, sent word to the nominee to look his way and he would see “someone you know.” Receiving a glance the band leader doffed his beaver and begin waving it back and forth high above his head. Then the campaign brown derby appeared and the nominee imitated the negro's. motions in cheer leader fashion as shoits of “Atta boy, Al" went up from the crowd. Extends Greetings Charles B. Beebe, secretary of Governor Ben 8. Paulen who is in Vermont, extended Kansas greetings to Governor Smith who previously had been informed by Dudley Doo- THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1928 MURDER SUSPECTS CAUGHT IN CANADA| Northoott and His Mother Are Under Arvest Los Angeles, Sept. 20 (P—The gearch for human bones and other evidence to substantiate the sinister story of the Northcott murder farm was temporarily suspended today by Southern California officers pending return here of the principals in the case, a 21 year old youth and his mother who were arrested in Canada yesterday. The district attorney's office today began extradition proceedings against Gordon Stuart Northcott and his mother, Mrs. Louisa Northcott, who have been sought for nearly a week. The former has been named as the slayer of at least four boys on his chicken farm at Riverside. Murder charges have been brought here against both. Authorities here were confident that the youth arrested in Vernon, B. C., and the woman held in Cal- gary, Alberta, are the two principals named in the story of torture and murder told by their young relative, Sanford Clark. Immediately following reports of the arrest Rex Walsh, Los Angeles city chemist reported that samples of stained earth from shallow graves farm re- found on the Northcott vealed traces of human blood.

If they will help us we will make | this kidnaping too dangerous a busi- ness and prevent some other moth- er's child from a like fate.” Four Million to Be Spent for Sufferers Paris, Sept. 20 (A—The cabinet today authorized an expenditurc of $4,000,000 for hurricane relief in the French West Indies, including Try | “Canada Dry” New Haven, Sept. 20 (UP)=—Jo' & Coolidge, railrosd clerk, and bis sccret service guard, Russell Woed, have left their costly quarters at the Yale Graduate club for modest ace commodations in the home of & divinity school professor. ‘The president's son and Wood have made their home with Profes- sor Benjamin W.
