New York City, November 3.
While labor, foreign relations reor-
ganization of Government and other

As, Pennsylvania 38. New Jerseys IA
and Maryland's 8, all fell under the
avalanche Of ballots that swept Calvin

Assessing the results of his second
campaign tour. he said; I'VE have
pretty we'll settled the States we have
beer in, from what I can hear. OF
course. never shared the doubt about
Tennessee that was going around. I
never believed that was off the hook,
or North Carolina. either l did not
know about Kentucky when we started,
but 1 am satisfied with it."
The governor said his optimism also
embraced Virginia. Alabama. Texas,
Florida. Missouri, Indiana and Illinois.
Referring to anti-Smith sentiment in
some of the Southern States, the noni-
nee said all that were heard from In
those States "are the noisy minorities."

that subject in any detail And that
must be so because it is so completely
at variance with the manner and
method of conducting campaigns here
tofore. where there have been no definite

Raps Farm Promises.
The Republican party he said, talks

the financial system of the country.
That does not do anything about it and
nobody finds it out. The same thing
applies to prohibition. Hoover says it
must be worked out constructively.
What does that mean? You would not
expect candidate to say it ought to be
worked out destructively."
Asked if he would have mythical
White House spokesman" if elected, the
governor replied firmly:

self. Press conferences daily"
