Robinson last night opened three-day drive to win the States IS votes and fired the first gun on one of the most extensive campaign tours ever undertaken by a Viee-Presi- dential candidate in the West.

 Senator Robinson said: "A des- perate effort is being made to in duce women voters to oppose the Democratic nominee for President on the theory that Hoover has are known to be concerned and that Gov. Smith has never been identified with measures in which women are particularly inter ested.
 Correctness in this conclusion is challenged
 Quite the contrary is true
 "An examination of the records discloses that Gov. Smith has taken the lead"
 Senator Robinson enumerated many measures which he argued Gov. Smith put through in New York State.

BOSTON, Nov. Running far
ahead of a race between smith and
Hoover and a close gubernatorial
contest, in Massachusetts, United
Democrat, was swept into office
today.
Returns, with II cities and also
several towns missing, showed
Smith with a substantial lead while
the fight for the governorship
waged back and forth, both Allen.
Republican, and Cole, Democrat
taking the lead from time to time
only to relinquish it as later re.
turns came in.
Upon complete returns from 2S7
towns and 13 cities. and with $40
precincts out of 339 in Boston.
Walsh's lead had nearly reached
the 100000 mark.
The Smith-Hoover vote was ex.
tremely close. The Boston vote for
Smith put him In the lead bv an
proximately $4,000 with returns
from 303 towns and % cities. Bos.
ton gave Smith 10000 votes and
only $4,000 to Hoover.
The vote for cities end towns
outside Of Boston was 444.O6s for
Hoover and S75,235 for Smith. This
lead for Hoover, however, was
more than offset by the vote of
Smith in Boston.
Returns for the remainder of the
State ticket were meager but the
Republicans apparently had carried
all State offices.
Most of the Republican candidates
for Congress were elected with
doubt in the cases Of Rep. Charles

Hoover was, STUDENTS OIL pnySloS-
nomy say, born to greatness, but,
not having been born to the
purple" he exercised his greatness
long before fame came his way.
While fame came to him in
small way in China-because he
manned a machine gun during the
Boxer uprising, and because or ms
extensive exploration work as chief
engineer of the Chinese Imperial
Bureau of Mines, it was not until
1914 that he began to attract inter
national attention.
And from then on until 1919
when President Wilson asked him
to come from London to supervise
the national larder, dictate the ma
tional bill-of-fare and serve as CHIEF
steward for all the Allies, his name
was better known perhaps than
that of any other American save
President Wilson and General
Pershing.

Hoover was born in West Branch.
Iowa, a little hamlet of the prairies,
on August 10, 1874. His father was
IA blacksmith, his mother Quaker
preacher who travelled to neighbor@
ing towns and country churches
to preach.
Both parents died when he was
still a youngster, and he and his
little brother and sister separated.
After a few years with uncles and
aunts on an Iowa farm, he jour-
neyed to Oregon and found home
with other relatives at Newberg.
At IA he went to Portland. got

passed the. entrance examinations
for Leland Stanford Junior Univer-
sity.
He worked, his way through the
university as agent for laundry
and was graduated in 1896 as a
mining engineer. After his grad.
uation he spent a year in the field
with the United States Geological
Survey and worked in the drifts as
miner for 50 a day.
After another year In a San
Francisco mining engineers office
young Hoover was appointed man
ager of a mine in Australia. In a
year he had located and was the
manager of two other mines. At
that time he was cashing monthly
pay checks which. with his invest

Attention being drawn to him, at
