United States"
Oscar Norling, editor. Daily Ne
braskan, Lincoln: University of Ne
braska student vote; Hoover, 757:
Smith, 25S. Hoover favorably known
throughout state, while much pre-
JUDGE against Smith. Although Nor
ris only name printed on primary bal
lot, Hoover written in an unusual
number of times, exceeding by far all
other such candidates. Early reports
indicate Woods statement a fallacy..
A. L. Taylor, Trenton: Consider
statement of Mark Woods entirely
wrong. Any republican could beat
Smith in Nebraska"
F. H, Whitmore, Valley Believe
Hoover would run better than Smith
in Nebraska"
F. E. Davis, Hershey: Cannot see
how Smith can get nomination and if
he should impossible for wet to
carry Nebraska. Smith not considered
serious in this locality"
Barnes, McCook: Disagree with
Mark Woods. Believe Nebraska will
give republican majority for Hoover,
Dawes or Lowden."
J. NJ. Burnham, Wymore: ''Hoover
will carry Nebraska against Smith
from 10 to 10000. Leading republic
cans concur in this estimate
E. J, Overing, Red Cloud: "Esti-
mate of Woods out of line. # cleo
ton were held now Hoover would
carry this state against Smith,
H. B. Pickering, Kenesaw: Believe
Mark A. Woods is all wet. If Hoover
is nominated he will receive the re-
publican vote of Nebraska and Smith
will not carry the state anywhere near
the figure set by Woods
J. G. Alden, York: mo situation
is conceivable whereby Smith could
carry Nebraska. Hoover not as strong
in Nebraska as some western candi-
dates but if nominated he will carry
the state. Success of Norris delegates
in recent primary cannot be construed
as rebuke to aspirations of fastener.
Nebraska safe in republican column
whomeyer may be nominated
E. c. Leggett, Ord: ANY republican
candidate so far mentioned will carry
Nebraska against Smith in my judg-
ment."
Earl L. Spence, editor, Franklin
County News. Franklin: Statement
of Mark A. Woods that if Hoover and
Smith are presidential nominees
Smith will carry Nebraska by $4,000
absurd. Smith could not carry Ne
Draska if Sinclair were republican
candidate. Hoover sentiment is gain
ing daily. Nebraska delegation to
national convention will be split and
will finally swing solidly to Hoover in
ny opinion
Charles S. Ryckman, Fremont:
Smith would poll heavy Nebraska
rote but not winning vote against any
me of half dozen leading republican
least of all against Hoo
YER. Woods estimate not expression
Of real opinion but only propaganda
behalf his advocacy of Lowden."
R. B. Crellin, Ewing Advocate,
Ewing; Statement from Woods is
pretty strong. Do not think such
sentiment exists over state. Lowden
fayorite here at present for republi-
cans but if Hoover and Smith are
nominees believe Hoover will pile up
good majority"
A. c. Gardner, Elgin: Hoover could
beat Smith by 10000 if the election
were held today and that could be in
creased to majority of $4,000 by fall.
Mark Woods is all wet when he says
Smith could get anywhere in Ne
braska."
G. F. Gunthorpe, publisher, Plain
view News, Plainview: mark Woods
has his figures reversed in his state
ment regarding Smith carrying Ne
braska over Hoover by $4,000 votes.
Hoover is exceptionally strong in
northern Nebraska and will easily
carry the state without question at
the November election if both are
nominated Mark would not dare
make that assertion in his. home
state"
Cyrus Black, Hickman "Mark
Woods statement that Al Smith if
nominated can carry Nebraska by
$4,000 in case Hoover's nomination is
ridiculous. Norris, however, Lowden
OF Dawes would beat Al Smith by
$4,000 or more. Nebraska farmers
are as rule satisfied with present
conditions, Mark Woods to the con-
trary."
