ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. 24.-With a
flourish of his brown derby, Cover
nor Alfred E. Smith babe good
by to Albany today, setting out on
the final tour of his presidential
campaign.
The special train of the Demo-
cratic nominee left here at 10 a. m.
n the road to Springfield, Worcester
and Boston, Mass.
The Governor was accompanied
by Mrs. Smith and their daughter,
Mrs. Emily Warner. Other members
of the family will meet them when
they arrive in New York Thursday.
"Just Beginning to Fight"
A changed campaign demeanor
could be noticed as he gathered up
his papers for the final trip. The
speech of his Republican opponent,
Herbert Hoover, in New York Mon
day night, charging Smith with So
cialistic tendencies on farm relief,
prohibition and water-power, had an
unmiStakable effect upon the happy
warrior" his friends said. His
papers burned with replies he ex-
poets to make in Boston tonight
answering the Hoover speech, ,ac-
cording to those who share his con-
fidence.
In his historic campaigns for the
governorship Smith never has be-
gun to fight until the last two
weeks. With Shrewd political fervor
he always has bided his time. He
regards the latest Hoover speech
as the first real statement of is
sues from the Republican candidate
something which he may tear
into as he has always torn into the
arguments of his political opponents.
1873 Votes at Stake
The movements tor his departure
on this new adventure seemed en-
tlrely disaSsociated from the early
part of his campaign. In his two
swings through the west he had a
luxurious train of eleven cars, the
only chartered train presidential
candidate ever has used. Now he
has ordered only his private car st.
Nicholas, owned by his friend Will
liam F. Kenny, the Brooklyn con-
tractor, two ordinary Pullman cars
for newspaper men and club
coach for the mineographs ma
chimes.
1t was as if he had just removed
his coat, after a display, and rolled
up his sleeves to go to work.
In the thirteen days before cleo
ton night, he expects to greet mil
lions of people in Worcester,
Springfield, Boston, Providence,
Hartford, Bridgeport, Waterbury,
New Haven, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Newark, Trenton, Brooklyn and
New York city. These citizens have
1873 electoral votes, enough to swing
almost any election.
No Family Affair
This last thrust is to be no
family affair either, Only Mrs. Smith
and one daughter, Mrs. Warner,
will accompany him. There will be
a continuous line of speeches and
parades across the vital territory,
beginning this morning with ten
minute stops at Worcester and
Springfield, Mass.
A brass band will be playing the
Democratic nominees campaign
song, 1.-THE Sidewalks of New York"
as he arrives at South station at
$3.50 p. m.
Governor Smith will be taken on
an automobile parade, terminating
at the Parkman bandstand on
Boston Common. where he will
make the first Of four scheduled

dresses will be given at Mechanics
