CONFIDENT
TR|P|NS
VOTES
By GEORGE R. HOLMES

SEDALIA, Mo-, Oct. 1s.-Three
weeks from election today finds
Gov. AL Smith very confident Of
his own election.
From the outset Of the campaign
the New York governor has been
exceedingly optimistic concerning
his own chances. But, on his
present tour of the South and bor-
der States, he has developed de-
gree of confidence that has sur
prised even his close associates.
For the first time today he ven
tured upon a definite election pre-
diction. He said he expects to carry
both Pennsylvania and Ohio. That
is how confident he is. Pennsyl-
vanias' rockbeund Republicanism Is
traditional No Democrat has ever
carried it for the Presidency; Ohio's
record is almost as Republican, no
Democrat, save Woodrow Wilson,
ever carried 1t nationally.
Would Ensure Victory
Yet in the face of the record, Gov
ernor Smith says he expects to get
the electoral vote OF both States three
weeks from today. There is scarcely
a practical politician in the country
but who believes that IL Governor
Smith carries either state he will
be elected.
The Governors confidence of his
ability to do what no other Demo.
cratic candidate for, the Presidency
has ever done was reviewed amost
casually during a pDaSs conference.
He said he was going to speak in
Pennsylvania before the campaign
ends-probably in Philadelphia. but
he doubted whether time would per-
NIT his going into Ohio. You think
then there Is more chance Of carry
ing Pennsylvania than Ohio?" he
was asked.
At think will carry both Of them"
he replied.
Governor Smith brought his can
didacy west of the Mississippi River
today for the second time during
the campaign. Tonight in the live
stock pavilion Of the State Fair
Grounds here, he will deliver his
only speech in Missouri. His sub
iect will be Coolidge economy and
the fiscal record of the Republican
party for eight years in Washington.
1t was a big day in Sedalia.
Special trains from various parts
of the State, particularly from Kan
sas City and st. Louis poured
thousands of Missourians into this
rural community and automobiles
brought thousands more. The two
hotels of the town staggered under
the load imposed upon them.
Sedalia has been preparing for
Smith day ever since the word
first leaked out that it had been
selected by the Democratic stra.
tegists as the locale for the only
speech which the Democratic nomi'
nee will delive in the State. The
town is afIutter with flags and
bunting and people.
