ticeable uncertainty in the Smith camp
and outspoken optimism among the
HooveriteS mark the eve of balloting
in Arizona. with conditions continuing
to favor Hoover carrying the State by
majority variouSly estimated at from
1000 upward.
The most significant development has
been the noticeable swing to Gov.
George Hunt, Democrat, at the same
time that Smith seemed to be slipping,
lending some color to the report cur
rent that Hunt strategists are trading
of Smith votes for their gubernatorial
candidate. Three weeks ago both Re-
publican and Democratic leaders were
inclined to consider Hunts defeat cer-
tain, whereas both sides now agree
Tuesdays gubernatorial contest will be
too close to justify prediction as to the
outsome.
Smith has lost the State anyway"
one Democratic politician Is quoted as
saying. 80 we may as well save the
governorship from the wreck" Ma
jority opinion continues to favor re-
election of Senator Ashurst and Rep
resentativea Douglas, although Repub-
lican observers say if Hoover's majority
is very large, the wave may carry for
mer Senator Cameron, contesting with
Ashurst, to victory also
Because of the intense interest
aroused in the campaign over the pro-
hibition and religious issues, careful
calculators expect 80 per cent of the
States registration to vote, or total
of 10000, Republican committee Of
