Having had his first taste Of presi-
Dental campaigning by the hand

day entered the midwest corn belt TO
open his drive for the White House
in a more formal name with 4
speech tonight in Omaha on farm re-
lief.
The address set for Q o'clock cen
tral standard time in the auditorium
will be the first formal political
speech the democratic presidential
nominee has delivered since his no
tifiction nearly a month ago at Al
bany. In IL he announced he would
treat the agricultural question more
~exhaustively than he did in his
speech OF acceptance and probably
amplify his position on the surplus
crop problem.
After a noisy celebration in his
honor in the trainyards Of West Side
Chicago last night, where several
party leaders took the opportunity
TO report bright prospects for him
in Illinois and Wisconsin in Novem-
Der, Governor Smith listened in on
one Of the trains three radio sets,
put the finishing touches on a rongh
outline Of his farm speech, and re-
tired. The remainder of the journey
to Omaha was through northern ILL

the governor and those in his imme-

rat all had retired, but cheers from
the platform, and the sounding Of
automobile horns brought a flashing

In a minute or two Governor
Smith was out on the rear platform,
an ovcrcoat owe his pajamas, and
his brown derby affording him pro-
lection from the chilly night air.
His appearance set the crowd off
on another wave of cheers, as he
leaned over to shake hands with i
number Of persons who wished him
luck. Mrs. Smith waved greetings
from a car window.
