III SMITH VOTES
SURE, SAYS RASK0B
Democratic Outlook Even
Brighter Than Last Week,
He Declares.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. September 5.-John j..
Raskob Democratic national chairman,
said yesterday on his return from the
Robinson notification at Hot Springs,
Ark, that the Democratic outlook is
even brighter now than 1t was last week
when ne said In st. Louis that Gov.
Alfred E. Smith would get 309 electoral
votes.
Ell route East, he said. he was as
sured that Gov. Smith would carry Illi-
nois and Indiana and also Ohio. If his
acceptance speech appealed to farmers
as much as State leaders believed it had
There we're states with 1876 electoral
votes with which was not familiar
enough to make any prediction when
I gave out that st. Louis statement"
he said. Il said that we expected to
get at least 100 of those. These three
States, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, we're
included in that 100"
Sees 277 Votes Certain.
In discussing an analysis of the States
by Senator George H. Moses of New
Hampshire, vice chairman of the Re-
publican Eastern advisory committee.
Chairman Raskob said that Gov Smith
would receive at least 277 electoral votes
If you give the South to Smith," he
said, plus Oklahoma. Tennessee and
Kentucky, that makes l49 electoral
votes
Senator Moses does not claim Ari-
IONA, Wisconsin. Montana, Maryland or
Missouri. There are IS more votes"
Hardly anybody in the East at the
minute thinks the Republican chances
are as good as the Democratic chances
III New York Massachusetts,, New Jersey
and Rhode Island. There are 81 more
electoral votes. The total is 277.'
Feeling Against Prohibition.
MFR. Raskob said he came back from
his trip with the belief that generally
throughout the country the feeling Is
that prohibition does not prohibit"
Industrial leaders I come in contact
with" he said, think that prohibition
is good thing for the workingmen. but
don't believe in abstaining from drink
themselves Maybe that Is all right, but
I don't think 1t square with our scheme
OF government. where all men are sup
posed to have equal opportunities.
Il believe that generally throughout
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1928-09-05

the country the feeling Is that prohibit
ton does not prohibit--that 1t Is just
a scheme to prohibit those without
money from having something that
those with money have.
"A lot of people say that doing away
with liquor has had lot to do with
out prosperity I don't think there Is
any justification for that conclusion
think out prosperity has come from
high wages we have paid as the result
of enormous consumption.
Sees Farmers Suffering.
Mr.. Raskob said he found a real
farm problem In the West.
There is real suffering there ne
said There were seven men and seven
women from each of the eight States
reporting to Our ST. Louis Office who
came to st. Louis to meet us. l asked
them particularly about the farm situa-
ton. They said that the number of
farmers who had their farms mortgaged
to the limit was appalling.
"One lawyer told me he had In MS
Office Is foreclosure cases that 1t was
not worth while to bring up at all.
They told us that the prices OF wheat
and oats did not compare with the cost
of producing them"

Senator Moses stopped here while en-

confer with Fred N. Peck, national
committeeman for Rhode Island, and
Louis K. Liggett, national committee
man for Massachusetts, While the
Senator expressed himself as reason
ably well satisfied with conditions in

leaders here that they could not afford

insignificance. What startled
and flooded him with humility
was the fact that he was ridic-
ulously immodest and helpless in
the presence of Marian Thorn

pulled the sheet UP around his

and turned belligerently toward
Eddie.

indignity OF Eddie helping him
into his garments. He reached
for his collar and tie, staring bale

said.
One of the negro women SER

hold of Freeman legs, while Ed

like carrying iron weight as they
struggled up the broad stairs.
Marian preceded them and turned
back the cover of the bed in a
square, high-ceiling room. The
negro woman was pop-eyed with
curiosity, but Marian, thinking
rapidly, satisfied her.

She looked from one to the
