One of the largest demon
strations ever held by the
workers of Greater New York
is expected to take place this
afternoon at 5 p. m. on the an
niversary of the murder of

the city ard it's outlyin1 districts
members of the rising working
class in the interest of which the
two labor martyrs laid down their
lives will journey to the demon
stration.
Wide Representation
More than so labor unions have
already signified their intention of
being represented. Forty seven
nationally known speakers will adj
dress the vast throng from four
specially constructed platforms. The
speaking stands will be draped in
red and black, flowers will be
banked at the foot of the center
platform and large pictures of the
two martyrs will decorate each
stand.
From police headquarters, it was
learned, that more than 1000 uni

be on hand to see that "order" is
preserved. The meeting, however,
is expected to have all the surge

police to create the impression that
violence may occur.

New York will continue to be cleuded,
| in all probability until after the Re-
publican and Democratic State conven-
tons, when candidates for governor,
Senator, members of the House and
other State offices are nominated and
party platforms adopted. The Repub-
lican State convention will be held first,
about September 81. and the Demo-.
cratic. October /. The Republicans in
recent months have not been well knit
together as a fighting force in New
York, and not little will depend upon
the extent of harmony which is reached
at the State convention. In the Demo-
cratic organization. there appear to
be no riffs in New York.
William H. Lewis of Boston. former
Assistant Attorney General under Pres

known colored lawyers, after calling
upon Mr.. Hoover at headquarters here
today. announced his support of the Re-
publican nominee for President. Mr..
Lewis four years ago voted for John w.
Davis and supported the Democratic
ticket.
After lengthy interview with Mr.
Hoover. said Mr.. Lewis, Il am salts
fed that the interests of the colored
American lie with the Republican nomi-
nee. I feel certain that we shall get a
square deal with Mr. Hoover. In 60
ing back to my party, wish it to be
distinctly understood that I am not IN
the category of a Democrat boiling
Gov. Smith, but an American citizen
exercising my prerogative. to vote for the
man who think will best serve the in
terests of my race and of my, country {"
1t is expected that the former AS
sistant Attorney General will make sew
eral addresses in behalf of the Hoover

the farm bloc in Congress. returned to
Washington yesterday after an intensive
survey of conditions in New York State.
Before Senator Capper entered public
life and politics, he was a newspaper
man and today publishes many news
papers and magazines. He gave 1t as
his opinion that New York State will
surely go Republican in the presidential
election notwithstanding the great per-
sonal popularity of Gov. Smith in his
home State.
New York's As electoral votes" said
Senator Capper last night will be cast
for Hoover and Curtis, absolutely as
surfing their election.
Makes State Survey.
This is not merely a prejudiced,
partisan political prediction 1t is the
result of first-hand study and obser-
vations of conditions in New York, from
which have just returned.
"A few months ago New York could
fairly be claSsed as a doubtful State.
That time has passed AS the cam
paign has progressed and the mass of
people have had an opportunity to be-
come acquainted with the issues and
the personality and views of the. Re-
publican candidate. there has been such
swing of sentiment to Mr. Hoover
that the Democratic leaders have be-
come genuinely alarmed and have lost
their confidence that unquestionably
New York would give her electoral
votes to her favorite son.
There can be no question of the
widespread personal popularity of Gov.
Smith, both among Democrats and Re-
publicans. But that popularity GER
tainly does not extend to the political
machine known as Tammany, with
which Gov. Smith has been affiliated.
There is growing realization among
New York voters that the character of
Tammany has never changed: that 1t
Is still the most venal political organi-
zatlon in the country. Recent exposures
of graft and corruption in New York
have. awakened the citizens of the State
to the danger of Tammany influence in
the White House.
I'm addition there are a large num-
Der of business men who have always
supported Gov. Smith for governor and
have approved generally his administra-
ton of State affairs, but who are al
together unwilling to intrust him with
of the Nations affairs"
Points to 1924.
Senator Capper pointed out that four
years ago Gov. Smith carried the State
by only little over 100000 votes
against his Republican opponent for
governor, Theodore Roosevelt, jr., in
a total vote of 5000, 900. At the same
time, President Coolidge carried the
State by 100000 over John w. Davis
He said that upstate New York would
give Hoover a tremendous lead, more
than sufficient to overcome any Smith
lead in New York city.
There are other observers, however,
who class New York State as decidedly
doubtful, with chance that it may go

LOCAL DRYS UNITE
TO OPPOSE SMITH
Urge D. c. Residents Having
Votes to Support
Hoover.

Through conferences held recently,
| dry organizations in the District are
| preparing to oppose Gov. Smith and
| support Herbert Hoover for the presi-
| dency Representatives of the Anti
Saloon League. Woman's Christian
| Temperance Union, Washington Law
Enforcement Committee, International
Order of Good Templars, Citizens Serv-
| ice Association and others have been
| taking part in joint conferences, plan
ming to back Mr.. Hoover.
| The principal effort of the conference
will be to encourage persons in the Dis
| trict who are entitled to vote In one of
| the States to cast their ballots for the
Republican ticket. ..
The joint conference met yesterday in
the office of Andrew Wilson, chairman
of the conference and also president of
the local Anti-Saloon League. Mrs. N.
M. Pollock, president of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, is secre-
tary. The attitude of the conference
toward the presidential candidates was
set forth in declaration, which was
authorized at yesterdays meeting.
Our opposition to the election of
Gov. Smith for the presidency is solely
because of his attitude toward prohibit
elOAl. his pubic IeCOIQ anu Ills pro-
nouncementS clearly commit him to the
overthrow of the eighteenth amend
ment," the declaration says
THE charge SO freely made by the
friends of Gov. Smith that the dry or
CARNATIONS are fighting him because of
his religion or his party affiliation is
untrue and is made for the purpose of
beclouding the issues and deceiving the
voters.
Gov. Smith having declared his plat
form of opposition to prohibition and
having drawn to his support all friends
of the outlawed and discredited liquor
traffic, he must be, and Is. regarded as
a menace to the eighteenth amendment
and therefore should be defeated for
the presidency:
I'VE believe 1t to be the patriotic duty
OF all good, citizens to rally to the sup
port of the prohibition policy as exem-
plified by the eighteenth amendment
and the enforcement laws, and we ap-
peal to all residents of the District of
Columbia who have retained their citi-
zenship in the States to make prompt
preparation to vote on the 9Th day of
November next, and for Herbert Hoover

he could not imagine Little Bob La
Toilette voting for Democrat"
Senator La Toilette has not declared
himself, Senator Moses asserted.
THE La Follettes have had scant
love for the Democrats" he said. "Old
Bob was Republican, and so Is young
Bob. Young Bob, as his father did
has supported the Republican party In
Senate organization when. II he had
voted Democrat, there would have been
tie"
Senator Moses said he was told by
North Dakota leaders In Washington
this week that both Dakotas would &c
for Hoover.
They say the Dakotas are absolutely
SAFE. he said. There is some trouble
in Minnesota, but it centers more around
the senatorial election than around the
presidential election"
Senator Moses reiterated his denial
that Ware leaders in Pennsylvania were
swinging over to Gov. Smith.
There is nothing imperiling the
Hoover majority in Philadelphia" he
said. There's little trouble in Pitts
burgh over prohibition, but I don't re-
gard 1t as vital in any respect"

pressing business. and took 1t easy in
the circle of his family and few close
friends.

yacht on which Todd years ago drove
rivets and later: after amassing a for
tune bought for his own use.
The governor had little to offer in
the way of news to the reporters, who
last night had been guests at a motion
picture party at the executive mansion.
He reiterated that he was not prepared
to announce speaking engagements
after the trip. which will take him as
far West as Denver and Helena, Mont,
and keep him out of the State two
weeks He also remarked that he had
abandoned plan to take golf clubs
