Albany, N. Y, Sept. 30 P-Gov- ernor Smith has discovered a new American-the "25 per cent" citi- zen who votes only once in four years.
 Replying to the statement Of Sen ator John Knight that the man who votes once in four years should be the determining factor in the electioH of governor, MT. Smith told the democratic state convention here that the "25 per cent citizen is the man who has so little interest in the state, so little interest in it's business so little interet in the policies that are advocated for gov ernmental purposes, that he takes occasion to vote only where there is president running. And he IS the man, because of his love and devotion to the state, who ought to be the determining factor

FOUR HAVE LEAD
 IN 1928 CONTEST
Gov. Al Smith Is Considered
 Strongest Democrat

Washington, Sept. 30 (UP)- The most likely discussed three candidates for the 1928 republican presidential nomination at this time are Herbert Hoover Of California, Charles E. Hughes of New York and Frank o. Lowden of Illinois-any one of whom has a good chance 10 win-according to a survey of opin- ion among leaders conducted by United Press bureaus throughout the country.
 Gov, Al Smith Of New York is the most prominent democratic candi- date, the survey showed. He has gained sporadic backing in the west within the last few months, but is still considera bIy short Of the two- thirds necessary for nomination.
 Other indications developed by the survey include:
 At least two-thirds of the re- publican leaders feel that MT. Cool idge desired to eliminate himself when he issued the statement that he did not choose to be a candidate, although there are still number of local leaders who feel that MT. Cool idge will and should be nominated by exclamation.
 2-Even vets are soft-pedaling on the prohibition issue and most talk centers about the tariff and farm relief. Republicans are having no trouble whatever over the prohi- bition question but mid-western dry democrats are manifesting displea- sure over what they consider the ef- forts of eastern vets to dominate the party.
 3-There is widespread apathy over the status of both parties and in many districts leaders are laying low to See which way the wind blows, both as to issues and candi- dates.
 In republican ranks little work has been done for any of the candi- dates. Discussion has centered in newspaper editorials, interviews and personally issued statements of lead ers. There have been no rallies held or voting clubs organized. None of the candidates have openly taken the stump.
 Hughes, it was pretty generally agreed, is strong in the east, but his strength diminishes as it proceeds west. From the central states to the western plains Lowden is in the as cendancy, but there at the Rocky Mountains Hoover is reported more popular.
 Some organization work has been done for Smith and Senator Reed, democrat. Missouri, to the demo- cratic ranks. Clubs for Smith have been organized in all sections, even in the south. In Mississippi the Reed boom has been set in motion, and It has lapped over into surround ing states.
 The weakness of the Smith posi- tion at this time was reported to be the apparent willingness of many democratic senators and congress- men in dry communities to line up with the New ' ork governors ticket. They feel that even if Smith should be elected they would turn their dry constituents against them in their own localities and would lose their own jobs in the bargain.
 Among the dark horses the follow ing were most prominently men, toned:
 Republicans - Vice President Charles G. Dawes, Speaker Nicholas Longworth and Senator Curtis, rep, Kansas.
 Democrats Gov. Vic Delaney, Ohio: Evans Wollen, Indiana: Sena- tor Thomas J. Walsh. Mont; E. T. Meredith. Iowa: Newton Baker, Ohio; Gov. Albert Ritchie Maryland.

MRS. MCCORMICK,
 POLITICAL POWER
Likely Winner of Nomination
 for Congressman

Chicago. Sept. 30 LP.-Mrs. Ruth Hanna Mccormick will probably have strong organization support in her campaign for the republican nomination for Congressman-a friends here said following the an- nouncement of her candidacy at Washington yesterday.
 Before leaving for Washington, Mrs, Mccormick is understood to have conferred with many political leaders, and her decision to seek the nomination may have been based partly on the result of these talks.
 Through the union of political forces, Governor Small and Mayor, Thompson have concentrated repub- lican organization strength. and Mrs. McCormick is believed to be favor ablv'viewed by these two leaderes.
 The nucleus of Mrs. McCormick's support is expected to be the repub- lican womens clubs, for whose or ganization throughout the state she was largely responsible. Another source of probable support is expect ed by her friends from former asso- ciates of her husband, the late Sen ator Medill Mccormick, who served enc term as congressman-at at-large before being elected to the United States senate,
 Probably no woman who mas sought election 10 congress has had d broader political background than Mrs. Mccormick. She is the daugh- ter of the late Mark Hanna Of ono. once powerful figure in natlonal politics, who often was spoken ot as the maker of presidents
 AS the wife of senator McCor- mick she continued to dwell Tn the political atmosphere. and was con- stant adviser and aide to him during his years in politics.

RATHER THAN SEE HIS FAMILY
STARVE, TEAMSTER KILLS FIVE
CHILDREN, WIFE AND HIMSELF

UTICA, N. " Feb. 1S R-Rather
than see his wife and five children
starve to death, Guy NJ. Taylor,
teamstcr without work, killed his
entire family and then ended his
own life with a razor.
The tragedy was enacted probably
a week ago but did not become
known until today, when on the
representations of a neighbor. the
police forced an entrance into the
squalid tenement occupied by the
Taylors and found sevsn bodies.
The dead:
Guy M. Taylor, 35; his wife, 80;
Elizabeth Is; owen, Ia; Albert, I2;
.;olde, 8; an infant whose name is
not known.
Mrs. Taylor's throat was cut with
a razor, and Taylor committed suicide
with the same weapon The chill
dren were killed with razor ana
q bowie knife.
The appearance Of the room and
the condition of the bodies indicate9
that all except the boy, owen, were
killed as they slept. owen appar-
ontly had struggled with his father
as his body was found on the floor
against one of the beds. The other
members of the family lay in bed
where they had been SLAIN.
Not much is known here about the
family except that they came from
Schenectady about two months ago
and that for while Taylor was
employed as a teamster. He had
teen out of work since February 4.
Poverty was apparent when the house
was entered today. The food supply
consisted of a little sugar and a
small crust of bread. Three beds,
kitchen table, dilapidated chair
and a bench comprised the furnt-
ture Taylor's last pay envelope was
found empty in a closet 1t indis
Gated that his last pay was $3.50
The family was happy one. Tay'
lor spent good part of each eve
ming playing on his accordion while
the children sang in chorus to the
music 1t was the absence of the
music that led to today's investiga-
ton.

gressional leaders will be sought.
Representative Fort of New Jer-

cultural committee, called on the
president during the day to point out
what he regards as defects in the

ganizations, including Samuel "A.
Thompson, president of the American
farm bureau, and B. w. Kilgore,
president of the American Cotton
Growers exchange, conferred with

partment would cooperate fully in
carrying out the bills provisions.

late today by Speaker Longwor-h and
Vice President Dawes, and will be
