ALBANY, N. y, Sept. 1924
firm believer in a strong finish. Gov
ernOr Smith will devote the seven
weeks preceding election day to an
extensive campaign for the presi-
dency.
Although he will not leave Albany
until a week from Sunday to open
his drive in the center Of the corn
belt at Omaha September is, the DEM
ccratic presidential nominee is ex-
pected TO make up for the relatively
late start by a series Of speeches that
will keep him on the jump right up to
the week before election.
Twenty-possibly thirty or more,
are estimated as the number of adj
dresses he will make before Novem-
Der s. The smaller figure is based
on the fact that three speeches will
be delivered during the first week Of
his trip and on the theory that this
average at least will be adhered 10 for
the six weeks following. But il the
nominee runs true to form, there are
some who believe he will speed things
up a bit later on in the campaign and
probably a a speech a day, there
by running the total close to a score
and a half.
Hope to Win All Three

then on to Denver for a third ad-
dress two days later.
Democratic leaders are Of the opin-
ion that all three states 10 be visited
can be placed in Governor Smiths
column. despite the fact that Cool
idge won out in Nebraska and Colo
RADIO four years ago. Twenty-four
electoral votes will be the prize in the
trio Of states and in only one, Ne
braska, is a senator up for reelection.
Belief Of party chieftains that the
New York executive has a good chance
to gain Nebraska's eight, 0klahoma's
ten. and Colorado's six votes in the
electoral college also is being made
in the face of a convention delegate
lineup which showed only one, Colo
RADIO, as solidly behind Governor
Smith for the nomination. This state
gave him all Of her twelve conven-
tion votes, but Nehraska's sixteen
stood up until the last for its favor

which carried on through the ballot
