presidency today with eh heaviest popular given
candidate.
At 80 he already had within 100000 ballots the

yer. And in progressive Wisconsin,
the combined efforts of the La Fol-
lette forces, failed to protect hin.
against heavy Hoover vote.
Senator Heflin failed to carry
Alabama for Hoover, but held Smith
to a fairly close lead.
Pennsylvania, upon which Demo-
cratic National Chairman RaskoS
built high hopes and spent much
cash, was running ten to six for
Hoover.
Hoover appeared to have carried
everything west of the Mississippi
except Arkansas. Smith had a tech
nical lead in Utah, but as this state
went for Taft in 1912 it is regarded
as Hoover'S.
New York for Hoover
Smiths defeat included even his
own New York state, which had
honored him for lesser offices so
many times. He had run for OF
flee twenty-five years and this was
only his second defeat, the other
being when he lost for Governor in
the Harding landslide of 1920, al
though running far ahead of his
ticket.
This disaster followed on the heels
Of one of the most spectacular and
bitter campaigns in modern Ameri-
can history.
Smith, nominated by a party
dominated by dry, protestant Demo-
Gratis only because Of his record as
tremendous vote-getter and his
likelihood of carrying New York
state, entered upon a bold cam
paign in favor of modification of
the eighteenth amendment and
committed the Democratic party to
practically high tariff basis.
His strategy failed. The Demo-
cratic party comes out of this elec-
ton with the worst defeat it has
suffered in fifty years.
Although Hoover never before ran
for Office, he won one of the great
est electoral victories on record,
and against a man who had been
regarded almost a miracle worker
in his vote-attracting powers.
Probably it never will be settled
just what happened. Some will say
the Protestants refused to permit a
Catholic to be President. Some will
say the country repudiated Smiths
wet program.
Smith Wires Congratulations.
Some will say the country wanted
to be sure of continued prosperity
by continuing President Coolidge's
regime under one of his subordi-
mates. Some will say the country
just naturally is Republican, Per-
haps there is some element of truth
in all those propositions, and per-
haps not.
This was the first time a Catholic
ever ran for President as a major
candidate and the first time prohi-
bition became a national election
issue.
But whether the campaign turned
upon any one question is something
not yet clear.
Smith acknowledged his defeat in
a sportsmanlike telegram of con-
graduation to Hoover, wishing him
health and happiness.
Il congratulate you heartily on
your victory and extend to you my
sincere good wishes for your health
and happiness and for the success of
your administration" the telegram
said.
Five minutes before Smith issued
his statement, John j. Raskob
chairman of the Democratic nation
al committee, conceded the election
of Hoover.
1.-THE Democratic party made q
gallant and clean fight" RaskoE
said, "for the principles in which il
believes"
