From behind the tawdry scenes

as they are across the river. The
fact that Senator Edge, an extreme
wet, has plugged for Hoover from
the start apparently has had re-
straining effect.
The political power of Governor
Richie and Senator Bruce in Mary
land may decide the Maryland
result. Here, as in SO many
other states, prohibition and
religion are the dominating
issues. Richie appears to have
effectively settled what threatened
to be a serious bit Of Democratic
fractional strife and Smiths chances
are thought to have improved since.
But Hoover is due to run up a
healthy majority outside Baltimore
which MAY 60 as high as 10000. The
Democratic city organization will
have to overcome that and the result
seems bound to be close. /.
Delaware, with l.a ..ilee votes. is
in doubt with possibly a slight edge
for Hoover. When the du Points
disagree, as Pierre and Coleman
have, one never knows what will
happen in Delaware.

uNDERSEA TRAGEDY

The business Of sailing in submarines seems to be
highly risky business. no matter by whom it is con-
Quoted.
When the American submarine S-4 went down at
Provncetown following fairly closely on the loss Of
the $751; there spirited criticism Of the Navy De-
partment, and many people felt that submarine dis

American navy.
But since then other navies have their tragedies
The Italians lost large sub in the Mediterranean and
now the French submarine Owdne has been rammed
and sunk by merchant steamer.
The conclusion seems to be that submarine is a
risky affair at BEST and that tragedies will befal them
once in . while in spite Of the utmost care.

(NEA Service Writer)
Washington. Oct. 27.-New York
has As electoral votes, New Jersey
IA. Maryland 8 and Delaware 8.
The most convincingly sound rea-
son why the Democrats nominated
Governor Alfred E. Smith was that
he had a good chance to carry New
York. Without New York he can't
win. It is important. though per-
haps not necessarily essential, that
he also carry New Jersey. Maryland
Also enters into most Of the Demo-
cratic figuring in attempts to COM
pute the apportionment Of electoral
votes required to elect Smith.
At this writing it appears prob
able. though far from certain. that
Smith will win New York. He may
also be conceded . shade in Mary
land. But Hoover appears to be
a safer bet in New Jersey and Della
ware. None of these states, how
ever, can be placed definitely in
either candidates column until cleo
ton day.
Smiths dlff1culty In his own state
is that, presidentially speaking. New
York has long been Republican. He
has won. his gubernatorial fights
with the votes of men and women
who have always voted for the G. O.
P. national ticket. The tariff and
national prosperity have meant lot
to New York; she has had no major
depressions.
Smith has made himself clear on
the tariff, but some Of the voters
who wanted him for governor will
vote for him for president and some
Of them won't. How many will? And
how many can Smith poll on the wet
issue? Those will be the deciding
factors-New York is overwhelm-
ingly wet.
As usual, it is conceded. Smith
will be licked upstate. But one
hears that New York City will pro-
duce q Smith majority of 100000
or 600,000-a partisan claim, Of
| course.
Conditions are certainly ideal for
the Democrats if they are to carry
