ALBANY, N. Y. October Satisfied
with the results of his first campaign
speaking tour and the State ticket Sc
lected yesterday at Rochester. Gov.
Smith was back home today looking for
a golf partner.
His first big task of the presidential
drive to line up votes for the Smith
Robinson slate had been completed, and
he was anxious for reSt-a visit among
his numerous pets in the zoo back of
the executive mansion and a round or
two of his favorite paStime on the near

When the Democratic presidential
nominee will start out again on the
stump will be decided some time this
week. Many cities in the South, the
Middle West and border States have been
mentioned for speeches on the second
definite schedule probably will not be
forthcoming for several days or until the
week end.
Heartily Greeted on Return.
Both at the railroad station and at
the executive mansion, crowds turned
out last night to welcome the nominee
and his party home. Bearing torches
and banners. reading: welcome Home,
You Have Won the West, the East Is
Yours a large gathering sent up a
whoop when he alighted from his spe-
cial train at the Union Station and fol-

holding red lights and torches alott.
sent up big cheer when the touring
car. with top down and the Gov. and
Mrs Smith in plain view. swept into
the executive mansion driveway.
Praises State Ticket.
Coming from Rochester after at
tending the Democratic State con-
vention. Gov. Smith said he could not
have hoped for a better ticket, with
Franklin D. Roosevelt, the man who
nominated him for the presidency at
Houston and four years ago at Madi-
son Square Garden, heading the slate
as gubernatorial nominee.
Relating how he urged the former
Assistant Secretary Of the Navy to
change his mind not to run, the gov
ernor said:
THE s. convention nominated Mr..
Roosevelt with full assurance that he
would take the post Of State leader
ship I simply told him that the con-
vention was unanimous for him, that
the Democratic party needed him. and
that didn't see how he could refuse.
Roosevelt "Good as Ever"
Frank Roosevelt today mentally Is
as good as he ever was. Physically he
Is as good as he ever was. His whole
trouble is In his lack of muscular con-
troll of his lower limbs But the
answer is that governor doesn't have
to be an acrobat. We do not elect him
for his ability to do double back
flip or handspring"
The governor said he believed Roose-
welt, who was Democratic vice preSi-
Dental nominee in 1920, would conduct
an active campaign, even though this,
in his opinion, was unnecessary.
LAS / look at the two tickets" he
declared, "the people of the State will
be able to make their decision without
much campaigning, but they will get it
anyway"

car and the cars of friends he brought in
many new voters from Washington
Missionary College and the Sanitarium,
both Adventist institutions.
There was very small colored
registration.
Tuesday was the second registration
day held in Montgomery County this
year On May l, 600 new Democrats
registered as did 800 Republicans. The
total new voters who have registered
and will vote for the first time in the
county is 1926 This increase reflects
not only the interest in the coming poll
teal campaign but also indicates the
growth of the county during the past
year Most of the new voters were resi-
dents of Washington City, who have
moved into the suburbs.
Political workers of both parties were
active yesterday, particularly in the
suburban sections. where the bulk of the
new voters are located and all day long
workers in automobiles were bringing in
new citizens to the registration offices.
Next Tuesday the second day of the
prediction registration of new voters
will be at the same precincts.
