D. Naval Reserve

The United States destroyer Abel p
Upshur which has been fitting out at
Philadelphia, Is expected to arrive here
today rs the training ship Of the United
States Naval Reserve Battalion for the
District of Columbia. Information re-
ceived at the local battalion headquar-
ters was to the effect that the ship had
been completed and that Comdr. Marx
L. Hersey, her commander, and also
inspector instructor of the local Reserve
battalion, would leave the Quaker City
navy yard Friday or Saturday for the
new home port of the vessel here.
The Upshur, which Is one OF the lat
est type of destroyers. relieves the de-
stroyer Allen, which has served here for
several years, but became too small as
result OF the rapid growth experienced
nv the organization under the command
of Lieut.. Comdr. Finney Bascom Smith
Many more officers and men will be per
mitted TO take the annual cruises, with
out the crowding that was experienced
on the Allen during the last two years.
In addition to the local organization.
the Baltimore. Md, battalion goes on
the annual cruises aboard this vessel.
which usually makes three cruises OF Is
days each, in order TO accommodate all
the officers and men OF the organiZa-
ton.

day, Ii was said that drills aboard her

Hoover's vote in Montana is show
ing at present as 106,380; while Smith
received 74,316. These figures will
change somewhat, as many precincts
are still to be heard from, but it will
only be in increased number.
Wheeler, another democrat, was
third highest in majority, he at pres
ent having 10O,546, against Dixon's

years.

for the office of treasurer, was re-
elected for the second term. The

Scott Leavitt made fine race and
will do the things for us that are

we believe he is one Of the greatest

Another national political campaign
has ended. 1t was one of the most
spirited ever known in the United
States and the percentage of people
voting was the largest ever had Men
and women of the nation made point
OF registering their franchise and
the returns show that interest was
general.
While it was generally thought
Montana was to be in the doubtful
column as far as Hoover was con-
cerned, it is now found that things
turned out just as political leaders
predicted. Mr.. Hoover at the time of
going to press had a majority in Mon
tana of over $1,000.
Hoover's lead in the United States
was great and Of the 531 electoral
votes, he received 444, leaving only
81 for Smith. Smith carried New York
City, but was unable to control his
home state and this was also true as
to the democratic states Of Virginia,
North Carolina, Florida and Texas.
The states of South Carolina Georgia,
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and
Arkansas, which have always been
solid for the democratic party throwed
their support to the opposing party.
Indications are that republican
Rhode Island and Massachusetts
swung over to the Smith forces with
small majorities. However, it is
claimed that Smith was worse defeat
ed than any man ever before running
for the highest office in the country
on the democratic ticket.
In Montana the ballot was scratched
handsomely-but few straight votes
being cast. The voting is humorous
IN many ways and shows that people
have queer ideas when it comes to
voting for president they elect him
and then straightaway they give him
no help as they elect men who are no.
wise in harmony with him or his
policies.
Erickson is in the lead for the gov
ernorship in fact he has a majority

ing the republican standard bearer in
mid-afternoon.
During the last two months the
radio bureaus Of the national commit
tees have sworn upon the air political
seed that cost more than St,250,000.
The democratic national committee
announces that it has spent $500 900
for political RADIO broadcasting and
the republican national committee, al
though saying that no figures are
available, reports the spending of "as
much as the democrats The radio
bill of the minor parties is but few
thousand dollars.
The grand total of something over
million and quarter would have
oeen increased to we'll over S2,000,0O0
had the parties been made to pay for
the broadcasting Of the presidential
acceptance speeches and the conven-
ton sessions, broadcasting that was
done by the radio chains on their own
account. AS it was, however, the two
major parties spent for radio broad
casting just about one-seventh of the
entire campaign funds.
Of the money the democrats sDent
on radio campaigning % per cent. or
100000, was for the broadcastino Of
the IS major addresses of the party's
presidential nominee, Alfred E. Smith.
The cost of broadcasting the addresses
OF Herbert Hoover, the republican can
didate for the presidency, which num-
nered but seven, was only $4,000 or
httle more than one-tenth of his
party's national radio fund.
The vice presidential nominees did
much less expensive radio stumping.
Available figures indicate that Charles
Curtis, the republican candidate. had
a chain radio bill of but $500. AS in
the case of the presidential candidates
-he democratic candidate for vice pres
dent gave far more costly broadcasts
