Democratic candidate in his statement
surveying the situation. 'I feel confident
we have impressed upon the minds Of
the people the justice underlying our
claim that the Democratic ticket will re-

ANY forecast OF the result predicated

crowds would not tell the full story
The quiet underground sentiment un-

Democratic ticket There is every evil
dence that the pendulum is swinging
that way. Dissatisfaction over the Ad-
ministration in Washington can be
easily ascertained by inquiry from II e

Moreover, there is general disap-
pointment apparent. after inquiry, with
the administration in Albany. Negative
sentiment Is not always controlling. but

Mr.. Smith said he was particularly
impressed with the efficiency of the up
State police and the interest they seemel
to take in seeing that the meetings were
properly protected
In the week OF the campaign that
