ALBANY, N Y, October 16-Gov
Alfred z. Smith. democratic. candidate
for reelection, is facing the first re-
verse of his political career and is ex-
pected to go down to defeat with the
remainder of the democra tic state and
national tickets next month. Realiz-
ing this, Gov. Smiths friends and
managers are making a val
lent effort to save him, and believe
that they will succeed i'll turning the
tide in his favor before election day.
Where three weeks ago it was gen
ierally conceded that Gov. Smith had
"a better than even chance of re-elec-
ton. it is now maintained that Judge
Nathan l.. Miller, his republican OPP
ponent. will carry the state by AT
least $4,000. These estimates are
based mostly on the indications in
New York city, for it is claimed that
the governors vote in the metropolis
1T was two years ago. In the face of
this indication. it is admitted by the
democratic campaign managers that
Gov. Smiths vote in New York will
have to be every bit as large And
even larger than two years ago to
n
UP against him in the upstate dis
tricts.
Gov. Smith himself is the last to ad-
init that there is a possibility of his
being defeated this year, and in a
statement early in the week declared
that the much heralded republican
landslide was all bunk" He assert
ed that the democratic ticket, both
Estate and national, had an even
chance of carrying New York state
November 2. and if the democrats con-
tinued their campaigning is they have
up to this time Cox and Roosevelt
would carry New York.
The first two days of registration in
New York state brought out the fact
that there was not the interest in the
campaign this year that there was
two years ago and four years ago.
the total registration at the end of
the second day was much lower than
two years ago, the last gubernatorial
election. Political leaders and work
ers insist that this is not due to any
lack of interest on the part Of the
voters, but they have no explanation
to offer. They claim that the regis
tration total will be even greater tina n
two years ago when it is complete.
but unless workers of both parties get
more results from their efforts among
the voters this is hardly likely.
Whirlwind Campaign.
Gov. Cox, by his stand upon the
Irish question and the league of ma
tions gained strength in New York
state. But he did not make many
votes. New York state has been set
tied as far as those two issues go for
many weeks, and the great majority
of those people, pleased by his stand
with regard to Ireland. would have
voted for him any way. Senator Hard

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, October 10
Every ounce of strength of the two
political parties has been thrown into
the campaign in Indiana. In addition
to Gov. Cox. who has been campaign
ing in Indiana for several days, and
Senator Harding, who appeared in
indianapolis Friday, many other
speakers of prominence. representing
both parties, have been in the state.
The league of nations is being made
the chief of the national issues.
The democrats have more efficient
organization than it was at first
thought they could have, but it does
not approach the republican organiza-
tlon as to efficiency. Democratic
readers express the belief that they
can carry the state, but the republic
cans stick to their prediction of a
tions seem to indicate to the unbiased
observer that the republicans will
carry the state.
Gov. Goodrich entered the campaign
this week, making a speech at Mum
Gle in which he defended his admin
istration.
Considerable interest has been
aroused among members of the
League of Women Voters in Indiana by
the speechI~made in Indianapolis by
Lillian Russell. Miss Russell said
the League of Women Voters was a
dangerous organization because it
was non-partisan. She advised the
women to get on one side or the
other.
The speech of Herbert Hoover was
well received in Indiana. Mr.. Hoover
addressed a large audience atSthe
Columbia Club in indianapolis. His
discussion of the league of nations
question was impressive. and close at
tention was given, particularly by
many women who attended the meet
ing. BY republican leaders Mr..
Hoover's speech was regarded as one
of the most valuable that has been
delivered in Indiana.
Election officials all over Indiana
are worried about the question of
facilities on election day. and the
question was discussed at a meeting
Of the republican state committee.
The registration of voters, which has
been finally tabulated, indicates that
the vote in Indiana will be enormous.
Though it was admitted at the end
of this week that interest in the
league of nations had increased and
that the democrats were making some
gains on this score, there was nothing
to indicate that there had been any
decisive development. Nothing had
happened to change the prediction
that Indiana will go republican. I'm

reelection. But now, according

New York. and their speakers are
attracting large crowds; but, ac-
cording to the report, not many
votes are being changed Interest

asm for the candidates, apparently
sums up the situation. 1t is adj
1nltteu tnat senator Harding per
sonally is weak with New York
voters, but he has the popular end
OF the issues and is not unac-
ceptable as a candidate. A good
deal of enthusiasm has been
aroused by Gov. Cox recently by
his pronouncements on the Irish
question, but, the correspondent
shrewdly observes, the enthusiasm
is confined largely to a class of
voters who have been for Cox all
along.

DeFuniak, Sept. 20.-The resi-

country are considerably excited to-

creek little over a mile from town.
The discovery was made by a man
employed at dairy. The oil appar-
emily seeps through the damp soil
and foows into the creek, covering
the surface of the Nater.
Many samples of the oil have been
taken by citizens. What puzzles all
is that the oil appears to be high
grade of refined machine Oil.
At first it was believed that the
oil had been planted but a search
