Herbert Hoover, was emphatieall,

Crs who were queried by the Wash

an organized campaign to put ovel
the unwarranted idea that Secretary
Hoover cannot carry the farm states
Some Of the responses follow:
L. ]. Mayfield, editor, Courier
Louisville: mark Woods is mistaken
In case Hoover and Smith are nomi
nees Hoover will carry Nebraska by
100000. Democrats say they will vote
for Hoover"
c. B. Brande, of Pierce: 81 think
Mr.. Woods is crazy. Mr.. Hoover OF
any other safe and sane republican
will carry Nebraska next fall"
Senator Dwight Griswold of Cor
don: MY judgment is that if Hoover
and Smith are rival nominees Hoover
will carry Nebraska by a hundred
thousand. Hoover is strong with
women and with business men,"
The Stuart Advocate of Stuart.
Nebraska university straw vote
shows Hoover choice of Intelligent
majority and Smith weak. Smiths
great strength is also his weakness,
when election brings out greatest
vote in history. I think Mark Woods
doesn't believe his own statement.
Hoover can beat Smith in Nebraska
(. NJ. Parker, Miniature Free Press:
Hoover will carry western Nebraska
better than three to one and state by
good majority. Norris is the popular
favorite. The Norris support will go
to Hoover if nominated.
Douglas c. Sutherland, editor Her.
aid, Tekamah: believe any sound re-
publican can beat Smith in Nebraska.
Woods not known as good fore
caster"
Editor, The News, Norfolk: "Woods
statement ridiculous on the face of it.
In this agricultural congressional dis
trict, the administration candidates
for delegates both won by large ma
jorities. Hoover had nearly four
times as many written in votes in this
county as Lowden,n next highest. Be
lieve Hoover can easily carry state
over Smith"
E. w. Huse, Wayne, Neb.: "It is my
judgment Hoover would carry Ne
braska against Smith
H. M. Crane, Bloomington: "Smitl
cannot carry Nebraska"
j. H. Welton, Mullen: "Conside
Woods estimate erroneous. Woul,
estimate Smiths defeat by 10000.
Editor, Meadowgrove News: EN-
phatically Smith will not carry Ne
braska. Hoover will easily win"
s. w, Thurber, Tecumseh: wood
statement extravagant. All Smitl
cannot carry Nebraska over an,
presidential candidate the Kansas Cit,
convention will name, especially Hoo
yer, Republicans here believe if it i
Hoover and Smith, Nebraska will g
for Hoover by $4,000 and up
w. c. Templeton, ONeill, Neb.
"Woods statement all bunk Hove
will carry Nebraska without a doub
over Smith,"
Luke M. Bates, Valentine: "Wood
merely talking for effect. Estimat
one-fourth of Nebraska democrat
will support republican nominee i
Smith nominated. Very few wet re
publicans will support Smith"
G. M. Cooper, editor Recorder
Kushville: "Under no circumstance
can Al Smith carry Nebraska even i
Norris has the Kansas City delega
ton. Nebraska is normally republi
can and dry. Smiths primary vot
is not an indication of what Nebraska
II do in the fall when condition
will be different. The primary vot
was a light one. The fall will tell
different story and our Judgment ha
seldom deceived US"
AL Mcr5enson, Minden: II do no
believe taat Smith can carry Nebras
ka against any republican candidat
whose ideals are in harmony with tn
present laws. | know that he canno
in our county"
j. S. Kroh editor, News, Ogallalla
IF Hoover and Smith are presidentia
nominees, my opinion is Hoover Wi
carry Nebraska by 20 to 100000. Al
but three counties in big sixth distric
win give Hoover good majorities
Farmers Of western Nebraska no
