DOUBT CLOUDS
BOTH CAMPS IN
Vote CAMP AIGN
Party Leaders Down to
Work in Earnest as
Election NearS.
BY LEO r. SACK
Times STAFF Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-With
only eight weeks to go, the 1928
presidential campaign today is out
of the ballyhoo stage and Democrats
and Republicans alike are prepar-
ing for the home stretch drive.
The passing of Labor day finds
each party viweing the future with
hopefulness, but without overnight
confidence. Reports indicate that
sentiment has not crystalllized to
such extent that either Hoover or
Smith can be certain of victory.
Both candidates and their man
ayers realize that the outcome is
more uncertain than in recent years,
and are agreed that definite trend
toward either candidate has not
occurred.
Developments since the accept
ance speeches have worried the Re-
publican as well as the Democratic
nominees. Friends of Governor
Smith, for example, are much con-
cerned over the unfavorable reac-
tions throughout the Solid South to
Smiths bold declarations for modi-
flcation of the prohibition law.
Negroes Near Revolt
In Republican quarters, however,
Smiths modification sentiments
have caused alarm because of the
favorable reaction in Eastern States
heretofore regarded as safely Re
publican in presidential years.
Another concern is an incipient
revolt among Negro voters who are
regarded as the balance of power
in the border States, as well as in
such States as Illinois and Indiana.
The widespread whispering cam
paign, reported in progress through
out the South and border States
against Governor Smith, is annoy
ing both sides. Some Democratic
leaders, including Senator Pat Har-
rison Of Mississippi, are alleging
there is a community of interest in
this respect between the Republican
national committee and those op-
posed to Smith because of prohibi-
ton and his religion.
Chairman Work of the national
committee has denied the allega-
tions.
This week will mark the formal
opening of the campaign in most
States. The two national commit
tees already have announced ex-
tensive nationwide speaking cam
paigns. The country-including the
heretofore neglected South-will be
flooded with speakers.
Curtis to Keep Busy
Herbert Hoover is expected tc
speak in New Jersey next week in
the first Of his three or four" for
NAL speeches.
But While Hoover may stick close
to Washington, Senator Charles
Curtis, his running mate, will be
doing a series of one-night stands
throughout the country.
Governor Smiths nationwide
itinerary will be announced this
week. In contrast with Hoover. it
is expected that Smith will make
more than a dozen formal speeches.
Senator Joseph Robinson, his vice
presidential candidate, is booked for
a number of speeches in the South
in the next few weeks.

President Also Lauds Economy

Washington, June IF P-Pros- psrity and economy, the slogans Of the Coolidge administration, were broadcast last night in a speech by the president delivered on the eve of his party's national convention.
 There was no mention of the Kan sas City gathering which will select q presidential nominee or to the presidents own views as to his own future.
 He spoke freely, however. of the improvement he saw in the nation condition since 1921, when the re- publican party came into power
 Mir. Coolidge appeared before the members of the governments busi' mess organization at the regular budget meeting and his speech was sent over d network of radio sta tions.

the rich We call these results pros- perity. They have come because the people have been willing to do their duty. The have refrained from waste, they have summed extra vagance. They have paid their debts they have improved their credit. If, out of all these efforts, the reward of prosperity has come. there is req son for national thanksgiving The president mentioned his own administration near the end of his address in referring to efforts made by the government on behalf of war veterans.
 During my term of office" he said. the pensions of all ways have been increased. We take pride in our great resources, our unparalleled d prosperity our phenomenal growth, but we should take equal if not greater pride in the generous and just treatment accorded those who fought our battles"
 The president expressed the be- | lief that the floodtide of business i prosperity had not yet been reached
 Measures and policies that con tribute to continuance of good time" he said. should be encour- aged and whatever interfered with them should be discouraged Already he added. however, that adverse ef- 1 fleets of the great increase in feder- al state and municipal expenditures with the corresponding rise in taxes were being felt.
 I've have been favored with a long-continued era of prosperity" h. said. Year after year the tide ol good fortune has steadily risen. Il seems not yet to have reached its flood. Measures and policies that 1 contribute 10 a continuance of good times should be encouraged. What ever threatens to interfere therewitf should be discouraged.
 Students of business trends, eX- perts in economic conditions, view with alarm the continued advance ir the cost of government. The cost oi government in the United States
New Britain herald., 1928-06-12

federal. state and municipal in 1921, increased 10 l,la4,o0o, ,o00. During that period the national government reduced its expenditures by Se.Uoo.- 100000. In that period states, coun- ties, municipalities and other taxing agencies increased their cost by SS,- 500, 0,0o0. The year 1926 record- ed another advance in cost to Sl1,- 607,000,000.
 Menace to Prosperity
 This steady increase in goyern- mental cost on the part of the states and municipalities is menace 10 prosperity. It cannot be ignored. It cannot longer continue without disaster. It will not correct itself. l can conceive no more dependable guaranty of genuine prosperity than a nation- wide effort in behalf of less and wiser spending by state and To- cal governments,
 Already the adverse effects oi the great increase in such eXpendi- lures. with the corresponding rise in their taxes. are being felt. With much capital in the country, new investments are showing a tendency to be insufficient to furnish as good a market as We could wish for la Dor. While no serious unemploy- ment exists. and the trend of wages is still advancing, if all the money that can be made in employing la Dor is going to be taken away in To-
 cal taxes, old and established indus tries will attempt to struggle along but new enterprise is not going tc be undertaken"
 About the worst enemy Of the wage earner is government extraNa- gance, Mir, Coolidge asserted. l Another adverse tendency is fol l people to take their money and uss it in speculation, which contributes nothing to the sum of our national wealth." he said.
 Turning to the fiscal affairs for 1929 the president declared that although the figures would indicate
 deficit of s94,oo0,oo0 he did not
New Britain herald., 1928-06-12

face the year with any thought that the budget would not be balanced
 We must not have a deficit" he asserted bluntly. 'I am counting on the prosperity of business for an increase in receipts. l am counting on you for a reduction in the amount of your estimated eNpendi- tures This nation is committed ir- reNocahly to balancing the budget. Nothing short of national emer- sency can trespass upon that com mitment. We are facing a situation where the full utilization of the funds authorized by the congress may exceed our estimated receipts. The duty is upon us to see that our outgo does not exceed our income" :"
 Estimates Receipts
 The president gave the estimated receipts for the fiscal year 1929 as sS,.o!, 100000 against estimated expenditures ot s, ,So1. 100000. The fiscal year now closing. he said, would show a. surplus in excess Of $4oo, 900. .ooo.
 In preparing the budget esti- mates for 1880 for the next session of congress, President Coolidge de- clarei he had tentatively fixed upon s3,.00,O ,0o0 for expenditures. which he said would be $6o 900, poo less than 1929 for ordinary rou- tine operations of government. "The necessity Of keeping expen- ditures within receipts. the impor- tance of continuing our pay-as- We- go policy, cannot be over empha- sized" he added.
 Following President Cooldge's $ address. Director Lord of the bud- get bureau urged the government officials to tackle the task of a bal anced budget with the spirit Of the water-boy aboard "Old Ironsides."
 ''To the federal service" he add ed, threat of a deficit is but a challenge and We accept it."

COMPLIMENTS PAID SHIPSTEAD

Vice-presidential nominee, Senator
Curtis paid Shipstead a great compli-
ment while in st. Paul. He stated,
while Senator Shipstead had the
balance of power in Washington, and
it was up to him as to who should
organize the senate-the Republicans
or the Democrats-he voted with the
Republicans to organize same; Sena-
tor Curtis being the Republican leader
in the senate stated that Senator
Shipstead requested no personal re-
ward for himself, but only for his
constituents back home, the people
he represents. He demanded that both
the McNary-Haugen bill and the La
Dor Injunction bill be allowed to come
to a record vote in the United States
Senate.
Senator Shipstead is type of man,
whose motto is, Public service rath-
er than personal appointments and
Federal patronage to distribute. He
has the respect of official Washing
ton, both Republican and Democratic.
There is talk about the Senator's
politics, but no criticism of his record
and the talk will not get far with the
voters, said the Park Rapids Enter
prise.

DEMOCRATIC

DR.. Hubert Work, chairman of
the Republican National Committee,
in Chicago, compared the crowds that
had greeted Governor Smith with the
immense throngs which William Jen-
nings Bryan attracted in 1896 and re-
marked: that while Bryan got the
crowds. Mckinley got the votes. The
Republican National Committee in
Washington also has emphasized this
in statement given out for publica-
ton. This statement says:
1.-THE press of the country has found
unacceptable the parallel between the
Bryan tours of twenty and thirty
years ago and Governor Smiths west
ern invasion of 1928. The hospitable
and enthusiastic West received both
with utmost friendliness. Bryan was
loudly cheered and so was Governor
Smith. But if the crowds of 1896
couldn't forget the benefits of the
Protective Tariff long enough to vote
for the 'Commoner,' what has the
Democratic party to hope for in 1928,
when the west has its own candidate
In HERBERT Hoover.
In this connection it is interesting
to note that the argument made by
Doctor Work and the Republican COM
mittee, and the facts disclosed by
reference to the 1896 election prove
that if Governor Smith duplicates the
accomplishments of William Jennings
Bryan in 1896, he will be elected, for
Mr.. Bryan carried, among the west
ern states, the following: Idaho 4,
Kansas 10, Missouri 10, Montana 4,
Nevada 3, South Dakota 5, Washing
ton Z, Wyoming 3, Colorado 8, and
Utah 4, total of Sc electoral votes.
If the electoral votes of these states,
where Bryan got the crowds and also
the electoral votes, are added to the
electoral votes of those states which
Republicans generally concede will be
carried by Governor Smith would have
271 electoral votes, or 5 more than
necessary to elect him.
Bryan carried Idaho by majority
of 10000, Kansas by $4,000, Missouri
by $4,000, Montana by $4,000, Nebras-
ka by $4,000, Nevada by 5000 Utah
by $4,000, Washington by 10000, Wyo-
ming and South Dakota.
Governor Smith "gets the crowds
in the agricultural states, and is get
ting the crowds everywhere he goes.
If to the states that Bryan carried in
the Corn Belt in 1896 are added the
states of North Dakota, Minnesota and
Wisconsin, where Governor Smith has
'got the crowds. and will also get
the votes, the Democratic candidate
for President will sweep this section.
