FLORIDA SEEN SURE
TO SUPPORT SMITH
Talk Of Bolt Belittled-Record
Vote Is Expected in
November.
Special Dispatch to The star.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, July 7.~~Sua-
gestion that the Florida Democracy will
sulk In their tents or turn to Herbert
Hoover because of the nomination OF
Gev. Smith is far-fetched and will not
be found Endorsed anywhere except by
those who are leaning towar dthe Re-
publican administration and hope to
win votes for that ticket. II Is assert
ed casually that In the recent Demo-
cratic primary great many Repub-
iicans voted as Democrats, supporting
former governor with the direct In
tcntion OF getting boilers from that
party u ex-0oy. Cats be nominated
OWN for the Republican nominee In
November.
The vote of the Democratic primary
was over 100000: the vote for Coolidge
In 1924 was 30,633.
Not half q dozen newspapers in the
State have indicated any desire to bolt
the Democratic ticket, although num-
Der are iukewarm over the nominations
The Republican central committee
has certified to the controller names
OF candidates to be placed on that tici-
ct for the general election for posi-
tons ranging from United States Senator
TO county officials and members Of
the Legislature. This has not been done
In previous elections the Republican
party having been content to nominate
men for Federal positions and for GOV.
ernor. emitting State officials .legislat-
: ors and county positions. Nominees are
| announced for four congressional seats
and all State officials who are elected
The activity noted Is considered a ges-
ture. as the party has never shown more
than small per cent of the possible
vote OF the Gtate--the Democratic vote
being estimated by primary returns.
while the Republicans are thought To
do their best In the presidential elec-
tions. The stirring up OF things seems
certain 10 bring out larger vote In
! November than ever before.
