fortunes of the presidential candidates
If Smith wins In New York, ne is nKe-
ly to carry the rest of the ticket along
with him. Should Hoover be the Vlc-
tor, then the chances for Ottinger ano
Houghton are the brighter.
In some quarters, however, the opn-
ion is expressed that Roosevelt, run
ming for governor, may be SucceSS1ul
even though Gov. Smith lose the pres
idential race in this State. The theory
is that he may be able to get many
votes upstate and even some votes IN
New York City that Smith Will lose:
A suggestion is made also by SeVeral
Republican leaders that Houghton may
stand better chance of election tnan
does Attorney General Ottinger, al
though no claim is made that he will
run as strongly as will Mr.. Hoover.
Doubt is expressed about what the
colored voters in Harlem will do. Tam

voters in the past and has voted many

it is said, that considerable number OF
these colored voters may swing back 10
their old allegiance to the Republican
party in this election.
New York presents as great a puzzle
in this present election as does any
other single State in the Union, not
withStanding the personal popularity
of Gov. Smith. 1t is possible he may
sweep the State, but the chances are
that it will be a close election, which,
ever way it goes. The answer to the
New York conundrum probably Will
be found in the huge new registration
in New York City. If it goes IN great
part to Smith, it does not seem pos
Sible to defeat him here.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, November O.
Senator James A. Reed of Missouri de-
nounced Herbert Hoover as political
chameleon" and British Liberal" last
night in his second speech in Wiscon-
sin on behalf of the Democratic preSi-
Dental nominee.
The Missouri Democrat touched enly
lightly on tolerance" in the campaign,
on the tariff and prohibition, and de-
voted most of an hour and half in
recounting the career of the Republican
presidential nominee.
This is the most peculiar campaign
of our history" the Senator said. ut is
the first time the Republican party
hasn't had a Republican to run as the
candidate for its party"
With that sentence before him the
fiery Missourian attacked Hoover and
the Republican party.

publican ticket was named at Kansas
City, but it takes more than the votes
of a few delegates to change British
Liberal into a Republican or Democrat
into Republican, or an internationalist
into a Republican. Republicans are ma
tionalists-they are American citizens"
The Senator added that Gov. Smith
is an American citizen without doubt"
