SMITH To MAKE
WELK|N RING
TONIGHT
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
international News Service

CHICAGO, Oct. 19.--Practical po-
Iiticians of the two opposing parties
here in Chicago are as far apart
as the poles regarding the outcome
of the Presidential election in I'LL.
nois.
Such Democratic leaders as Tom
Donovan, successor to the late
George Brennon. as national COM
mitteeman and State chairman, nave
told Governor Smith that he Will
come upstate to the Cook county line
on even terms with Herbert Hoover
and that he will carry Cook county
by between 100, 900 and 10000. This
would give him the State by wide
margin.
Opponents Scott
While Democratic leaders have
been pouring news like this into Gov
ernor Smiths ear, former Repre-
sentative James W. Good. of Iowa,
Hoover manager at G. o. P. western
headquarters. with equal confidence
asserts that Illinois will ereturn a
normal Republican majority for
Hoover, which he estimates at not
less than 100000. Coolidge's majority
over Davis four years ago was
SIS. 900.
Apparently there was no reconcl-
iation of these widely conflicting
claims today. The Democratic leaders
who surround Governor Smith here
are confident. The Republican lead
ers, domiciled a half dozen blocks
away are no less optimistic. Some OF
the practical politicians in both
parties are going to wake up the
morning after election with head
ache.
Respite for Parade
Governor Smith was to have a
respite from these political predic-
lions today which is more or less
officially 'Al Smith Day" in Chi
cago. At noon he will lead his
personal party in a parade through
the crowded loop section out to
Evanston on the north and then
double back through the city and
pass through the "black belt" on
versity of Chicago and wind up at
his hotel.
The route of the parade is al
least so miles long and it is esti.
mated that half a million people
Will nave the opportunity 40 get
glimpse of the famous brown
derby and the famous Smih smile.
Speech To Be ROuser
The parade is just the beginning
of busy day for the Governor.
Tonight he speaks in the 131st
Regiment armory-the last speech
he will make in the West before
election. The hall holds less than
10000 and it is reported that at
least 100000 people will strive for
those places. No reserved seats
have been issued, and there is to
be a mad scramble.
Although the Governor has pre-
pared his speech, he is keeping the
subject to himself. 1t was indi-
Gated, however. that he will yield
to the pleas of the Chicago leaders
and throw off the restraint which
has characterized most of his
speeches and cut loose with a real
rousing speech.

this year undertook to check the initiation by advancing

During recent weeks the Reserve banks have found

equivalent amount Of liquid funds Undoubtedly por-

less than an eternity of living will satisfy U.s.
