CITIES UPSTATE FOR SMITH:
To WIN BY GOOD PLURALITY.
NOTED OBSERVERS FINDING

Al Smith, Democrat, personally
popular beyond the strength of his
party, the man who made the most
remarkable run Of any Democratic
candidate in the United States against
the Republican landslide of 1920 and
now drafted again Tor service as Gov
ernor. will undoubtedly be elected over
Gov. Nathan Miller. Republican. in
the Empire State next week.
Some national tides are running
here; there will be sorle significance
TO the votes Of tho cities here and
there which may give comfort to
those looking for Nation wide cur
rents, but it is Al Smith, the self
made man, the fearless public SCR
want a real personality in American
politics, who will win-not the Dem
ocrntio Party.
Any one who could come near to
when tho Prcsidentian nominee of the
opposite party carried tho State by
tho Unprecedented majority of a mil
lion votes would seem to have, on
paper at least, the better chance OF
winning. This would be easy to
forecast If one were sure that Al
Smith is as popular to-day as he was
two years ago and that conversely
Gov. Miller is not rs strong.
For one thing Gov. Miller has been
In office. Tho incumbent is on the
defensive always. Al smith is on
the offensive. lie is not now and in
experienced and talks about the job
with much more nucncy than the
average candidate for Governor who
resorts to promises and pledges with
out really knowing the practical side.
Gov. Miller, on tho other hand, who is
one of tho outstanding figures IN the
Republican Party in tho Nation, is n
man OF rarc intellect and an aggrcs-
sive figure. lie is not the kind of a
man who is called a "gOod mixer" in
politics. lie is positive and firm and
is really Presidential Calibre. His
ardent admirers have hoped that II
he triumphod for Governor again he
would be carefully considered for the
Republican Presidential nomination
in the event that circumstances or
personal wish persuaded Mr.. Harding
not to run for a second term.
But, unfortunately for Gov. Miller,
he is running against the most diff
cult candidate to beat who has ap-
pearcd in a generation. Totally un-
like Hughes, who gained popularity
by his spectacular fights against boss
rule, unlike any of the other Govern
ors who came after Hughes, AL Smith
is moro of the Cleveland type--a man
of the people. He is one of those
''human beings in politics" which the
mass seems to like.
Issues, of course, arc made in every
campaign, but the New York state
contest will be decided on the basis Of

Mr.. Whalen as a "nttlo liar" and "a

tion that he be prosecuted for perjury.

i happen to know that a set of these

why they are not on the shelves and

Is 1t the fault of the librarian or of
the library board which, l am inform
