If Smith gets the $4,000 recorded the
last time he ran 1t will be political
miracle i'm the face OF all the odds. The
drop In the registration figures is about
the same in the Republican and Demo-
cratic districts. It Is slightly more than
the decrease upstate, where it means a
decided Republican loss.
Both sides evidently believe tho con-
test is to be decided in New York by the
last week OF campaigning. The two can
diGates for Governor. the nominees on
the State tickets and the heavy oratorical
talent of both parties will all get into
the fight here for the next six days.
Gov. Miller and his hackers will try
to hold down the Smith vote; Smith and
the Democrats will try to stampede the
city into exceeding its Democratic
record. Mayor Hylan will try to repeat
the 1921 performance by frightening the
New York voters into the Democratic
corral by dangling the eight cent fare
and traction ring bogeyman before the

And the Attorney General will con-
tinue his investigation into the registra-

Lack OF Money Up state.

vote, much more money than to get

But as, the danger grows imminent, it
Is believed the campaign fund will grow
until by the end of the week there will
ha enough to supply the equipment

show Miller stronger.

Several canvasses have been made In
the last two or three days in the metro
politan district in an effort to observe
how the strawman is operating. The
Tammany leaders never reveal the re-
suit Of their secret polls. The Repub-
lican district leaders have reported that
Miller In stronger than two years ago /:
that he has been picking up here and
there, growing stronger slowly but
steadily.
The Jewish vote will go I'm larger
numbers to Mr.. Miller than two years

has accounted for the reason in this
trend. The general belief that the Gov
ernor Is fair. stands on his own feet
is giving the State a better business
administration than Tammany ever gave
anything and that the Governor is a
man OF exceptional ability are the ar
guments which are supposed to have
attracted the Jewish mind not so much
given to campaign rah-rahing and ex-
element as some others.
Then, too, the polls show a drift back
to the Republican fold of the negroes
who were stampeded for Hy1an last
year. Nothing like the 1921 negro vote
was ever recorded in this city. 1t went

Jority. The cities are wet In spots. but

The Democratic beer and light wine
plank has drawn considerable support to
Mr.. Smith in some of the cities. 1t ac-
counts for his strength in Syracuse,
which has gone wet in a hard municipal

and few other centers where the
factory population predominates and
where the workers resent not having

But it has cut ilto the Democratic

They talk about Tammany and whisky
up State much the same as Hylan talks
about the traction ring and the bugaboo
interests" here.
Cassidy Gets Radical Strength.
To the extent that radicalism is at all
an issue it has hurt Mr.. Smith. The
workers whose tendencies are Bolshevist
are not satisfied with Smith. They re-
gard him as little less conservative than
Miller. It would be expected that nat
urally the radical vote would go to
Smith as q blow at Miller. But APP
parently It Is not. 1t is going to CASSIDY,
TIE er-Labor-Socialist nominee.
There are many wise politicians who
are predicting that the Cassidy vote
will be the surprise of the campaign.
They are fotecasting 100000 to S5e,-
600 vote for him In the State. The
Socialist vote In the 1920 election was
159,SO4 the Farmer-Labor party had
60, ,90S and thel Socialist Laborites 5,o15.
totaling 234,727.
For the first time since the prewar
days the radical parties are united this
year. There is something back OF their
organization that is not accidental.
William r.. Hearst has been giving
Cassidy and the radicals almost as much
support as he has Smith and the Demo-
Gratis. Politicians estimateSthat Cassidy
will pull little strength from Miller.
There is little doubt that IL Cassidy
we're not making his double fisted at
tacks on the two old line parties many
thousand voters who are with him
would drift naturally to Smith as the
only avenue OF protest. These voters
are not for Cassidy particularly-they
are against the established government.
1t Is possible that from $4,000 to
100000 votes In this State labeled pro-
gressive or radical, which might have
gone TO Smith in normal conditions In
contest between the two parties, which
are both conservative, will go to Cas-
sidy. And. further. 1t Is possible IL not
probable that the election will be won
or lost by less than a $4,000 plurality.

smith Seen Falling on.

Most surprising of all the canvasses
is one taken by a syndicate Of men in
the financial district for betting pur-
poses. That was cold proposition, free
from any suggestion of partisanship sor
personal preference; the facts were
wanted for wagering substantial sums.
That poll Is said to have shown a de-
cided falling off in the Smith vote OF
1918 and 1920. The drift from Smith
to Miller and Miller to Smith is about
equal as compared with last year; that
is. those who voted for Miller two years
ago and now say they will vote for
Smith are about equal to those who
voted for Smith two years ago and
>have swung to Miller this year. But the
Indications are. as far as shown in the
figures, that Smith'is not as strong as
two years ago.
With the registration in New York
far below last year and two years ago,
Smith would have to increase his phe-
nomenal vote of two years ago by at
least 10 per cent. to break even here.
Not even his most ardent adntrer hopes
for that.

SEES REVIVAL ONLY
BY PRICE REVISION
National City Bank Charges
Organized Labor With Halt
ing Prosperity's Return.

sober view OF the outlook for the
United States IN 1922 Is taken by the
National City Bank OF New York in It's
monthly review. II says that It cannot
be confidently affirmed that the foreign
demand for our products will increase
this year or will even be maintained at
the level OF 1921 and contends that a
sine qua non of rising from depression
is the restoration OF balanced rela-
tionship between the prices OF farm and
other primary products on the one hand
and the prices Of manufactured goods,
transportation service and various other
products and services on the other. The
bank says in part:
"The final estimates of the Depart
ment OF Agriculture upon the 1921 crops
give them a market value to the farnf-
ers $4,000, 100000 below the value of
the crop OF 1919 and $3,4o0. .000, 900
below the value OF the crop of 1920.
These are figures Of great significance.
The farmers have produced nearly as
much in quantity. but 1t has been valued
in the exchanges at less than one-half
the figures OF 1919. AS other products
and services have not declined In like
degree. the farmers must buy much less.
and all the industries are suffering In
consequence.
"It is useless TO expect n return to
normal conditions while this disparity
OF compensation between great bodies
OF producers exists. II Is unfair and II
establishes an effective blockade against
revival OF business. II is time that
the business community took cognizance
OF the situation and set Itself to the task
of correcting IL.
1.-THE argument that stock on nano
was purchased at higher prices has
lost whatever force II ever had. Mer-
chants who are interested in the return
OF prosperity should do their part for
II, and one of their duties IS TO reduce
operating costs.
"In large part the situation Is charge
able 70 the action of organized labor In
clinging TO the war time wage rates
Raw materials and foodstuffs have had
great decline at wholesale. but be-
tween the wholesale markets and con-
sumers the cost of handling and manu-
featuring has not declined in like pro-
portions. The effect Is 10 obstruct the
distribution OF goods and throw millions
Of wage earners out of employment. at
the same time keeping up the cost Of
living on the entire wage earning popu-
iation. In the aggregate there Is no
gain. but great loss. to the wage eai1i-
ers az q class"
Tho bank predicts also a reduction IN
the amount OF gold imports this year.
discussing this point as follows:
zone factor of Importance in 1921
which probably will be reduced in 1922
Is the importations OF gold. In 1921
such imports aggregated over $500, ,000,-

largely from Russia. and that source OF
supply must be nearly exhausted OF
the current output OF the mines Of South
Africa and Australia we probably Will

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
HAS HOPEFUL SIDE
Prices Gnd Wages Are Mou-
ing Downward.

Readjustment Of wages downward is
continuing and is one Of the favorable
factors In the outlook which confronts
the business of the nation upon the
Threshold OF the new year, according
to an epitome OF the opinion Of leading
bankers. manufacturers and whole
salers throughout the country made
public yesterday by J. II. Tregoe. execu-
tive secretary of the National Associa-
tion OF Credit Men.
THE most serious factor IN the pres
ent situation" according to Mr.. Tregoe
is the economic distress OF our farm
ers. who are doing their best to liquidate
Old debts but cannot purchase new
equipment"
The statement continues In part:
Although business at the surface has
slowed down and IN many ways our
commercial affairs were never IN a
more serious crisis, the basic improve
ment noted thirty days ago had con-
tinued.
The International situation Is I'm
proving. We are commencing TO recog-
nize the need OF aiding central Europe
and now realize we never can divorce
ourselves from conditions abroad.
Overhead is one OF the most diff
ficult problems TO solve. We cannot
build up capital unless profits arc suf-
ficient TO cover reasonable overhead
interest on investments, taxation and
something for a surplus.
There Is an increased efficiency ir
labor. The human waste is being cut
down.
The transportation Is improving.
While there Is a little hesitancy IN
the movement OF basic commodities
such as iron, steel, copper. &C.. this mas
be expected at time when prices ar,
being revised downward, and the slow.
ness OF the movement must not be con.
Strued as an unfavorable indication.
There are favorable factors in con.
struction. Prices of building materials
are being revised downward. The easier
money situation and lower costs fo
materials should accelerate construction
Employment has remained about sta
tionary.
"We cannot hope for normal business
in 1872 as VIC arc facing many disturb
ing and distressing questions which can
not be solved overnight. During 1922
we should watch the price. master tn

SAN TA f WILL
NOT DEAL. WITH
STRIKING UNITS
Officials Concerned Lest
Unwilling Strikers Do Not
Get Their Jobs Back
While Getting Is Good.

Replying to an inquiry regarding
the possibility of the Santa Fe Rail
way company making arrange
ments with leaders of the striking
shop men, d. L. Barton, superin-
tendent OF the local shops, declared
yesterday that there is no possibili-
ty of the company making arrange
ments with leaders of the strikers
and that the policy outlined in
Vice President Wells wire OF Sep
TENDER Z and quoted below is still
in effect.
The wire referred to follows:
1T must be apparent to all in
terested that the Willingness of the
railway employees department of
the American Federation of Labor
to make settlement on individual
roads as stated in press reports in
dicates that there is a realization
a ong the leaders that the strike
of the shopmen is lost. On the
Santa re the men at work have or
ganiZed an association representa-
tive of all classes with whom the
company has executed agreement
and settlement with the American
Federation is now an impossibility.
The Santa Ioe has 81 per cent OF
normal shop force and Is hiring
substantial numbers of men daily
My chief concern in the circum-
stances is that as many of our
shopmen who are on strike, for
whom there may be room, some OF
them out on strike against their
will. shall get back on their jobs
while the getting is good"
