NEW YORK, Nov. 6.---With one
OF the most picturesque Presidential
campaigns in the history OF Arneri-
can politics behind him, Gov. Al
Smith today calmly awaited the
counting OF the ballots, confident
that the result would place him in
the White House.
For the first time in weeks the
governor was relieved of the prep
aration Of a speech, conference
with leaders or the thoughts OF
parading through crowds of cheer
ing men and women.
Tired, but happy and confident. :
was the way the governor ex-
pressed himself to close friends
when he arose this morning in his
suite in the Biltmore Hotel. With
Mrs. Smith, the governor planned
to go at noon to a small store a
few/blocks from his hotel and vote.
Mrs. Smiths Birthday
Election day means more to Gov
ernor Smith than the winning of B.
public office. It is Mrs. Smiths
birthday and with one exception
in the last % years the governor
has presented Mrs. Smith with an
extra gift-his election to office
Today he hopes to be able to pre-
sent Mrs, Smith with the greatest
gift of all--the title OF First Lady
of the Land.
1T received fine extra birthday
present in 1915" Mrs. Smith said
That was the first time he ran
for governor. Now, in 1928, he is
running for the Presidency. The
election is the only thing 1 want
from him."
Mrs Smith paused a moment as
she gave the governor a look
which said more than words could
express. Then she added;
''And I'm going to get 1t, too"
During the afternoon the Cover
nor planned to catch up on some
lost sleep and rest. Tonight with
