NEW YORK. Oct. 3l.-tP-Gov-
ernor Smith will carry his fight for
the presidency outside the borders
Of his home state for the last time
tonight when he motors into New
Jersey for n speech al Newark. a
city only recently evacuated BY his
republican opponent.
Returning to his headquarters here
Immediately after the address. the
democratic presidential nominee will
spend tomorrow in preparation for
his twin effort to swing New York
into line with speeches in Brooklyn
and this city Friday and Saturday.
T~ifty-nine votes in the electoral
college are at stake in New Jersey
and its neighbor state of New York,
and Governor Smith believes his
chances are good for bagging them
all, despite the fact that only once
in the last eight quadrennial cleo
tons have they been found in the
democratic column. This was in the
tri-cornered race Of 1912 when Will
son carried both states.
President Coolidge had a plurality
of more than $4,000 four years ago
in New Jersey and topped the COM
bined Davis-LaFollette vote by ap-
proximately 10000. Smith campaign

To The Herald:
One year ago this coming Novem-
Der II. the last part Of the paving
on Fourteenth street and FL Jardir
boulevard was opened. And we are
still waiting for the Missouri Pa.
cific to pave the approaches across
their track on Fourteenth street, at
the city limits.
Not only is II always rough. but
every rain we are compelled to drive
through a mud puddle. Does il not
seem unfair to the citizens who are
paying freight rates on paving ma
terial used, building miles of ron
crete roads. to still put up with an
eye-sore by a railroad which is bene-
fitting as much by good roads as
we citizens who are now paying

other oddly will take its place IN
this campaign of oddities late this
week when the republican high com
mand directs the party's vast field
forces from general headquarters on
a swiftly moving special train carry
ing Herbert Hoover 10 his California
home.
Since the day of his nomination
the republican candidate has had per-
sonal charge Of the conduct Of his
fight for the presidency, and so IT
will be until the last shot has been
fired and the army Of voters
begins to march upon the polling
places.
When Hoover turns westward again
tomorrow he will be surrounded by
most OF the advisers who have been
almost constantly at his side in this
greatest battle of his career. There
will be his personal assistant, George
Akerson. DR.. Hubert Work, chairman,
and Ralph Williams of Oregon, vice
chairman of the republican national
committee; George Barr Baker of
New York; Harry Robinson Of Los
Angeles, and T. G. Gregory Of San
Francisco.
To Fire Parting Shots
As his opponent is concluding n
spectacular appeal for the votes OF
normally republican strongholds in
the East, Hoover will be kept sd-
vised Of events as they take place
and after comforting with his ad-
visers will send forth orders for
moves intended to counteract the
democratic activities.
The republican standard bearer
also will be firing some solid shots
himself. He will deliver a major
speech at St. Louis Friday night, and
also will speak at noon that day and
on Thursday and Saturday nights.
His range will cover a field from
Maryland to Colorado while his demo
cratic opponent is active in and
around New York City.
Aside from these principal speeches,
Hoover will make nearly a dozen
brief rear platform talks and for the
first time during this campaign his
private car will be equipped with
loudspeaker and mcrophone. Here
tofore at stops where speeches were

nished their own loudspeakers and
microphones.
As was the case during his last
trans-continental trip. Hoover will
use two different private cars. He
will ride 10 st. Louis in n fur
nished by the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. but while he is speaking in
the Missouri city this car will be de-
tached and replaced by the private
car Sunset" of the Southern Pacific
railroad. The loud speaker will be
transferred from one car 20 the other
along with the baggage Of the can
didate and his immediate personal
party.
Besides his political advisers,
Hoover will be accompanied by Mrs.
