STRA VOTE HOOVER IN LEAD Literary Digest Yots Shows Him Abead in 43 States Hoover is leading in six of the ten states in the “Solid South” as more than 3,500,000 returns from all of the forty-eight states are re- ported in The Literary Digest's huge national presidential poll which is | published today. | With the vote announced as not yet completed, Smith is carrying | only Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina, while Hoover | has substantial’ margins over his rival in the democratic strongholds of Florida, North Carolina, Texas and Virginia and sparing leads in| Alabama and Arkansas, which leads, The Literary Digest classes as doubt- ful. Holds Border States The border states of Kentucky, Maryland, Oklahoma and Tennessee | give the republican candidate a| comfortable plurality. Of the total of 2,529,997 votes returned in this fifth week's tabula- tions of The Literary Digest's poll, Hoover has 1,593,436 while Smith| Ras 910,234. This gives a percent- | age of 63 for Hoover and 36 for| Smith, which is almost the precise ratio of last week's returns. Hoover at present shows a lead n this “straw poll” in several of the states that are generally con- sidered doubtful, as in Wisconsin, where he is ahead by 31,351 to| 21,847; in North Dakota, where he leads by 5,408 to 2,803; in Minne- sota, where his ratio is 52,852 to 23,021; and in Montana, where he| 997 votes recorded, as against som: what less then 3,000,000 when the | poll of 1924 had reached the pres- ent stage of development. Representative Voting “With ‘the present tabulation the returns may be considered tor the first time fairly representative of the country as a whole. The division of the vote is slightly more favor- able to Governor Smith than in the earlier tabulations, L “The widespread breaking down of political fences, moted through- out the previous reports, is even more evident in the present tabula- tion. It may be observed, however, that with fyller reports from the southern states, there is an increas- ing switch of democrats to Hoover, along with Mr. Smith's increasing suffrage from former republicans. The Switched Votes “For the first time in the poll, it will be noticed, Governor Smith | draws more of his support from | democrats of 1924 than from re- publicans of that year. He still has 334,931 of these ‘switched’ votes, as against 233,555 former democrats who are now for Hoover. “The shift of former republicans, several authoritlies agree, Mmeans! merely that democrats who voted for Coolidge in 1924 are now re- turning to their home camp, but the fact remains, of course, that there has been a switch since 1924.” UNIQUE BURIAL FOR AGED MISSISSIPPI MAN New Orleans Italian Wanted Ashes Strewn in Father of Waters, New Orleans, Oct. 19.—(M—One : is polling 6,750 to Smith's 3,152. | o¢ tne strangest burials ever per- Leads in the East 1 . |formed in the south has just come | The republican candidate is lead-| ¢, jignt here following instigation of Ing in returns from all the eastern jyigation by one of the disinherited o oo e e yarey ¥ | neirs to the estate of the late Louls New York. where, though he has a| C\E20nl 91, well to do.
