HOOVER VICTOR IN SMITH'S PRECINCT Governor's Old Oliver Street Neighbors Tarn Out Strong By the Associated Press. Herbert Hoover carried the home precinct of Governor Smith in New York city, the district which in- cludes the Hotel Biltmore, 404 to 223, But the governor's old neighbors in the Oliver street district down on the east side went for him 610 to 66. Mr. Hoover's birthplace, West Branch, lowa, gave the republican nominee a 12 to 1 vote over Gover- nor Smith. Dexter, Ga, is democratic. The vote there was Smith 315, Hoover 0. Senator Curtis was so confident of his election as vice president that he went to bed at speeding toward Washington, gave orders he was not to be dis- turbed until 6 in the morning, his usual time to get up. Oyster Bay., N. Y., the home town of Theodore Roosevelt, maintained its republican traditions. 1t gave Hoover 8,462 votes, Smith 4,647 I'ranklin D. Roosevelt, a distant relative of the late president, how- ever, only lost the city in the guber- natorial race by 2,000 votes, running almost 2,000 ahead of the governor. Mr. Roosevelt lost his home town of Hyde park. Albany, New York's capital city, which has known Smith as gover- nor for four terms, gave him a ma- jority of 14,268 votes over Hoover. The total: Smith, 42,312; Hoover, 28,044, The home ward in Philadelphia of William §. Vare, who was credited with swinging the Pennsylvania delegation to Hoover at the republi- can convention, went to Smith. Clay county, lowa, where Sena- tor Curtis made his noted “too damn dumb” answer to heckler, went republican two to one. Uniontown, Pa., claims the record for “getting out the vote.” Ninety- six per cent of its registered voters marked ballots in the election. Thomas Slo: 115, of Guthrie, Okla., the state’s oldest citizen and claimant of the “oldest voter” title, cast his vote for Governor Sthith. He shook hands with the democratic nominec on Smith's campaign visit in the state.

He spoke on Armistice day and of the promises of the future which the signing of the armistice indicated. He referred Russia had submitted & similar proposition to the nations of the world five years ago. “Russla stood all alone,” he said, represented the laboring and so- jcialistic classes. She was laughed at | because sha did not belong to the capitalistic class.” He said the Kellogg plan found 15 nations ready to sign it; now it has the support of 65 nations. He sald he belleved 1t would be impossible to start a war today. He attributed the sentiment against war throughout the world today to a growing public opinion {which he characterized as among the “silent things which are the most powerful.” He sald the power jof the sunshine, the frost or the glacier were examples of the power of silent things, *rather than the clamorous tenes of the newspaper in politics.” He closed with an appeal to his hearers to carry out the ideals of the American legion and the Ki- wanis club, and help to outlaw all wars of the future.

This was the question raised by Elmer Pape, pres- ident of the Kiwanis club. Mr. Pape stated that he had heard the old Jjoke about things carried in a boy's pocket but wanted to know how many were carried in a man's pack- et. He offered the attendance prize | today, which was five gallons of oil, 10 the person present who could find the greatest mumber of articles in four vest pockets. Articles of almost cvery conceiv- able description, small enough to be carried in a vest were brought forth and laid on the table for inspection. Ray Young, mana- ger of a local chain store, and A. J. Leventhal, both of whom were pres- cnt, said the list of articles exhibited looked like their annua! stock lists. One man found 34, which caused his nearest neighbor to report: “I {enly have 17, that's not worth counting.” A physician had 39, after {two friends had counted, and who juttested that he carried no pills.
