Belittle Effect of Norris An

Special Disnatch 10 The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
OMAHA, Nebr., November 3.-Before
Senator Norris delivered his speech in
support of Gov. Smith. Republican State
committee officials claimed the State
for Hoover by at least $4,000. They
persist in the claim that defections be-
cause Of the Norris stand, known be-
forehand, were discounted before his
talk and that the farmer vote will
largely remain Republican.
Privately they base their hope on the
religious issue and openly say that pro-
hibition and personality as between
Smith and Hoover will have more effect
than farm relief, which they assert has
never taken first rank as an issue here.
Norris speech undoubtedly had tre-
mendouS effect. It has been sent by the
thousands over this region. The out
come will probably depend on whether
the Senator's words can swing rigid
rural drys and ProtestantS to vote
Democratic for economic reasons in the
fifth and sixth congressional districts,
both strongly Republican four years ago
on President. This admittedly will be
difficult to do.
Much will depend on the weather on
election day. Country roads of the
trunk highways are not generally i'm
proved. A rainy spell has apparently
set in which may hold the vote down.
Coolidge carried the State four years
ago by 81 900 and La Toilette obtained
100000 votes. A general switch to
Smith of the foreign vote at least to
the extent of the La Toilette support Is
expected.

West Virginia entered the last week. of
the campaign with an accession Of the

thousands OF names added to the lists
when registrars sat for two days last
month at polling places in the 2,3l6 pre-

However, the encouragement afford

any slackening of campaign effort. In

SMITH SEEN SURE

But Observers Set His Ma

Davis Figure.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RALEIGH. N. c., November 3-AS
the campaign In North Carolina draws
to close two things become increasing
ly clear-that nothing short of a dis
tinct upset will prevent Gov. Smith
from receiving the States electoral
votes, and that nothing except a dis
tinct upset will enable him to receive
a majority of more than one-third of
the $4,000 plurality by which John w.
Davis carried the State in 1924.
The closing days of the campaign
have been featured by violent empha-
sis upon the race question, to an extent
that has pushed into the background,
bu by no means eliminated, the pro-
hibition and religious questions.
Normally Democratic.
This State Is normally Democratic in
a ratio of 60 to 20, all recent elections
maintaining that ratio rather closely.
The rank and file of the Republicans
Of the State were opposed to the NOM
ination of Hoover the outstanding rea-
son being that his Republicanism was
questioned. The rank and file of the
Democrats of the State were opposed
to Smith because of the familiar reasons
of prohibition, religion and Tammany
Hall. The Republican delegation went
to Kansas City divided, Is for Lowden
and z for Hoover, and the Democrats
sent delegation to Houston divided,
1872 for Hull and Az for Smith.
The Republican breach, therefore, was
not as wide and the detection is per-
haps not as great as that in Demo-
cratic ranks. even in proportion to the
respective breaches. But the Republican
detection is not inconsiderable. That
party for a long time took the wet side
of the prohibition question in this State
and there has been much Republican
uneasiness over who would distribute
the Federal patronage In this State
should Hoover carry it, and considerable
resentment of the tendency of the Re-
publican organization to push hte anti
Smith Democrats to the front in the
campaign.
Simmons Bolts.
On the Democratic side, Senator
Simmons has bolted the party and has
become the spokesman of the rank and
file. deserted bv practically every cog
in the organization which has controlled
the State for three decades. That cir
cumstance has been more than offset by
the fact that JoSephus Daniels, former
Secretary of the Navy. who has for the
same length OF time been the SpokeS-
man for the Anti-Saloon League and an
mveterate foe Of machines, has been
supporting Smith with all his energy,
making. more than so speeches in the
campaign and furnishing a steady flow
Of Democratic ammunition in the
editorial columns Of his newspaper, the
Raleigh News and Observer.
The determining factor in North
Carolina will be the power of the anneal
to party regularity. That is where the
race question has. become important. 1t
has furnished no small part of the
appeal to the Democrats of the State
to remain in the fold and the anti-Snlitf1
Democrats have invoked the same issue,
literally covering the State with large
circulars containing picture of Ferdi-
nand F. Morton, colored. Civil Service
Commissioner of New York City, die
tating to a white stenographer.

AUSTIN. Tex, November 3.-While
the margin of certainty that Texas will
remain Democratic Tuesday was gain
ing during the final week of a cam
paign of unprecedented bitterness in
the State, prospects also were bright
ened that the only Republican men,
Der Of Congress from the State, Repre-
sentative Wurzbach of San Antonio
and the only Republican State SEN
ator, Julius Real of Kerrville, will both
be defeated by Democratic nominees.
Murzbachs defeat by August Nc
Closkey, If effected as now claimed by
Democrats. will put to an end the long
fight over Texas Federal patronage be-
tween Murzbach and r. B. Creager, Re-
publican national committeeman and
an original Hoover supporter.
While the regular Democrats dis
claimed fear of losing the State, the
boiling element, estimated at 800, 900
votes, set up such vigorous campaign
during the past Six weeks in Texas that
Smith supporters and the "adminiStra-
tion regulars" led by Gov Dan Moody,
whose extreme dryness somewhat con-
f11cted with their support of Gov
Smith, swung into decisive action. Their
campaign in behalf of the nominees
reached an effective climax at the week
end, IN contrast with the overextended
fight Of the bolting Democrats, which
lost much OF its fervOr and effect before
election day arrived
Gov. Moody, to whom the Smith

sible nomination for Vice President. has
been in considerable difficulty in Texas
being at the same time regular party
man and a bone-dry prohibitionist
elected by and the recognized leader OF
the ultra-dry majority forces in Texas
The effect OF Senator Morris Sheppard,
author OF the prohibition amendment,
and OF Cullen F. Thomas, lifelong prohi-
bition worker, actively supporting Gov.
Smith, clarified the fact that in Texas.
the drys can consistently support the
nominees, and helped Gov. Moody into
a belated but effective effort in behalf
Of the ticket. Gov Moody made one
campaign speech in Texas and partici-
pated in one other Democratic rally.
He declined urgent invitations to as
sist the campaign in doubtful States. He
refused most invitations to speak In
Texas. He reiterated, both at the ma
tional convention in Houston. In which
he succeeded in having the prohibition
plank made dryer than offered by the
Smith forces. that he would support the
nominees, but he coupled with every
such declaration his reafirmation Of his
prohibition stand, and his unwillingness
to support any action that would weaken
either Federal or State prohibition OF its
enforcement
Texas majority for the Smith electors
Is now being estimated at from $4,000
to lao, 900 votes, out Of an 100000 votes,
indicating that while the State Is re-
garded as safe, more than one third Of
its Democratic voters this year are leav-
ing the fold to support the Republican
nominee.

The Democrats are ready for a victory

they will get IL. 1t is conceded by all
that Gov. Smith will run sharply be-
hind Senator McKellar and Gov. Hor-
ton, probably $4,000 or 10000. but the
Democratic tide has made the State
safe,
Such situation has not come about
without fight. 1t has been something
novel for the voters OF Tennessee to be
and flattered as they have been in this
campaign. In 1920 the State went Re-
publican on a fluke which has been
credited to Republican sentiment, but
which really was not A result is that
both Gov Smith and Mr. Hoover hon.

ing the campaign, and some of the
most gifted speakers Of both parties
have been here.
Lead Set at 10000.
An analysis OF the State indicates
that tremendous campaign in Demo-
cratic West Tennessee will net a Dem
ocratlc lead in that section of above
10000. This will almost if not wholly
Offset the Republican lead in the noun
tains, leaving Middle Tennessee, strong
ly Democratic in virtually all of its AZ
counties, to determine the size of the
Democratic majority. Memphis and
Shelby County. which make up the
tenth district, are talking of a $4,000
majority.
A conservative estimate gives Gov.
Smith the State by from $4,000 to TO-
600, thought Senator Mcclellan, whose
popularity Is widespread and whose
travels during the campaign have car
ried him into every nook and corner OF
the State, estimates from $4,000 up.
