speclal pispatch to The Star.


PROVIDENCE, r. l., October ~
One hundred and seventy-five thousand
persons r11aSSed the roads of Rhode
Island from WoonSsocket to Providence
this week to see Gov Smith Wend his
way back to New York after a speech
IN Boston in which he answered Herbert
Hoover's charges of state Socialism"
1t was the greatest demonstration this
State ever has seen, and the Democrats
claim that 1t means that Smith will
overturn the normal Republican major
ity and carry the five ELECTORAL votes.
The G. o. P. of course, claims it was
merely a case of curiosity and that
many of those who turned out will not
vote for the Democratic standard
bearer.
Meanwhile that State campaign is
proceeding toward a whirlwind finish.
Judge Felix Hebert, G. o. p. candidate
for United States Senator, has spent
the past few weeks attacking the tariff
record of Senator Gerry, Democrat. In
the Senate. 1t is conceded that the
Judge has greatly added to his popu-
larity since the State convention and
has made himself known to the voters.
The result of the election here. how
ever, still hangs on the vote of the
foreign-born and the foreign extraction
population, Of whom there are about
10000 who usually cast the greater
number OF their votes for the Republic
can ticket. The French vote is the
pivotal one, and both sides are claim
ing 1t with French candidates up at
the head of their ticket.

State candidates. Although Hoover was
favored to carry New York State against
the man who has been four times
elected governor of that State, the Re-
publican candidate for governor has
been found at the short end of the
odds. Franklin D. Roosevelt has been
quoted as a to 2 favorite over Albert
Ottinger.
The indication of the effect an unex-
pected heavy Hoover vote may have on
the gubernatorial election was found in
the reflection of the Hoover speeches,
with its undouhted increase of the
chances of the Republican candidate
to carry New York on the Roosevelt
Ottinger odds.
Several brokers reported placing bets
Immediately afterward, with odds
slightly favoring Ottinger. They seemed
to drop back soon afterward, however,
to the 3 to figure in favor of Roose-
welt.
The race for United States Senator,
judging from this same criterion, Is
considerably closer than many have i'm
agined. Nevertheless, there seems to
be feeling in political circles that DR..
Royal S. Copeland, the Democratic can
didate, still holds the edge over his
Republican opponent, Alanson B.
Houghton, United State Ambassador to
Great Britain.
Wherever a political conversation
gets down to details in New York State
these days it is almost certain to turn
on the enormous increase in registra-
ton, with all sorts of speculation as to
what It. may mean. In New York City
alone the four days of registration
brought out an increase of virtually
100000 voters. About the same pro-
portionate increase was experienced all
over the State. In Albany, CITY of
about 10000 population, more than
10000 persons registered to vote, an
increase OF $4,000 over the largest prev
ious registration in the citys history
If the increase had been only in New
York City the claim would have been
obvious that it meant a tremendous
turning out of Smith supporters to put
across their favorite In his own State
But the rock-ribbed Republican dis
Gricts of upstate have shown Just as
great proportionate increase in regis
tration, so that the political wiSeacres
are more or less up in the air as to
the real significance of the flood of new
voters. There can be no question of
one fact, that many Of the new voters
are women. And there Is a strong
undercurrent of opinion noticeable in
the State that the women generally in
New York will lean toward Hoover
rather than Smith. Which may be one
OF the reasons for the trend of the
betting odds. THOMAS C., STOWELI,.

The Republican campaign managers
apparently have easy minds on the out

State, but there Is abundant evidence
that the senatorial fight between Nicely
and former Gov. Hatfield is worrying
them.

ATLANTA, Ca, October 27.-With
political orators making the welkin
ring In all parts of the State, Georeia's
interest In the forthcoming election has
reached such a pitch that registration
figures are higher than they have ever
been before. Reports compiled from
the States ISL counties show that the
voting strength November will be
approximately 100000. This is almost
three times the vote cast in the presi-
dental election four years ago and
twice what 1t was in the recent guber-
material primary.
How this extra vote will turn is, of
course, the problem that political
dopesters are trying to figure out 1t
was very noticeable, however that when
Senator Heflin. in his address here
Thursday night, claimed North Caro-
lima, Tennessee. Alabama and other
Southern States for Hoover, he failed
to include Georgia. Nor are other
Republican or anti-Smith leaders st
ing the State in the Republican column.
Democratic leaders assert that Georgia
will return its customary Democratic
majority.
Anti-Snith leaders who are stumping
the State are nevertheless receiving
enthusiastic welcomes.
