Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, october 23.-That
Herbert Hoover will surely be elected on
| November 6 and that Representative
zihlman will be reelected by the
largest majority ever given a candidate
| for Congress In this district were pre-
dictions made by Phillips Lee Colds
borough, Republican candidate for the
United States Senate, in an address at a
Republican rally In Seco Hall here yes
terday afternoon.
Regarding his own chances, former
Gov. Goldsborough stated that Mary
land Republicans are united as never
before, and reports from all sections Of
/ the State have been Of such an en-
couragtng nature that he felt convinced
| that his election Is also assured.
Urges Voters to Aid.
Referring to the presidential situation
In the State, GoldSborough stated that,
based on conditions as he found them
during four weeks of campaigning in
the counties and Baltimore City, he
felt no heSitancy in declaring that the
State was already won for the Repub-
lican presidential standard bearer and
would stay won. He urged all voters
in the county and State who are in
tereSted in Republican success to put in
busy day on November s, and de-
clared that If the right kind of work
is done there would be not the slightest
doubt that Maryland'S eight electoral
votes would be found IN the Republican
column.
Goldsborough devoted large part of
his speech to contrasting the Democratic
and Republican positions on the tariff.
He declared that the existing Repub-
lican tariff laws are largely responsible
for the remarkable prosperity the coun-
try has been and is enjoying, and in
sisted that any tinkering with the
tariff, such as Gov. Smith indicated in
his Minneapolis speech would follow his
election, would surely result in business
depression and disaster generally.
Charges Corruption in State.
In speaking of the references in the
campaign speeches of Gov. Ritchie and
Senator Bruce to the oil leases and COR
ruption under Republican adniniStra-
ton, and their criticism of Presidents
Harding and Coolidge regarding their
attitude thereto, Goisborough declared
that those who live in glass houses
ought not to- throw stones" and re.
ferred to the wholesale corruption in at
least two of Maryland'S State depart
ments, and intimated that the amounts
of stolen funds would probably not be
made known until after the election.
Goldsborough spoke of the interest
the women OF Maryland are taking in
the campaign and stated that his adj
vices were that at least 65 per cent and
possibly 70 per cent Of them would cast
their votes for the Republican presiden-
tial candidates. He cited several specific
cases to show how greatly interested are
the women Of Maryland.
Goldsborough was accompanied by
Representative Frederick N. zthlman,
who also spoke. Mr.. Zihlman discussed
virtually all of the leading issues and
shared Goldsborough'S confidence as to
the outcome of the election.
