ALWAYS SMITH AND HOOVER
AGAINST THE FIELD.

One thing that ought not to be overlooked
when considers that West Virginia vote
is that the votes for Smith and Hoover were
cast by those who for Smith and Hoover
while those for Reed and Golf cast by
those who for them, for somebody else or
against Smith and Hoover. If everybody had
voted his first choice for President Smiths plural

ity would have been very large and Hoover would
have carried the State. In other words every
where, it is Smith and Hoover against the
field.
The pre-convention campaign has proved that
Gov Smith is by large majority the choice
of the rank and file of Democrats and that, to
lesser degree, Hoover is the favorite of the
rank and file of the Republicans.
