New York Democrats Plan

BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November Little
Old New York, scene of many hot
time is preparing to let itself go as
never before when AL Smith makes his
last speech of the campaign in Madison
Square Garden next Saturday night.
The jamboree in that arena itself will
be only a whisper in the big noise, for
a mere fragment of the mighty city'S
population can cram itself into the gar
den.
If the Democrats had had 100000
admission tickets, instead of $4,000.
they could all have been given away
and then some. The fact is that nearly
everybody on Manhattan Island would
like to be there, except the several
hundred thousand Republicans who are
for Hoover.
In any event. Gotham, from the
Battery to the Bronx, is going to be
bedlam rampant on the night of No
vember 3, and probably much earlier
in that day. Mayor Walkers police
are mobilizing for the widest traffic
problem, both pedestrian and vehicu-
lar. that has ever tied up the town
between Twerty-third street and Cen
tral Park.
Plan to Guido Hoover.
Gov Smith is always assured of a
tremendous greeting from his own New
York. But since october %, when Her
bert Hoover received so classical a
welcome in "the home of my distin-
guished opponent" Manhattan Demo-
Gratis have had a high-water mark set
them. Word has gone out that the mark
must be topped Nobody who knows the
big citys capacity for riotous demon
StrationS doubts that it will organize
a tumult in honor of its Democratic
hero.
1t took Hoover II minutes to quiet
his Madison Square Garden mob
They're betting in Wall Street that it'll
take "Al'' half an hour to calm the
cheering multitude. Tf governor plans
to reach the platform correSpondingly
earlier than the hour his speech is to
begin, in order that his time on the
radio may not be curtailed.
That Smith will carry New York
City by bumper majority is, of course,
a foregone conclusion. The only ques-
ton puZzling Tammany Hall is whether
it can roll up 100000, 100000 or TOO, 900
for him. Senator Copeland, Democratic
candidate for reelection, told this
writer that Smith will go to the Bronx

city, meet an upstate Republican ma

thus win the Empire commonwealth by
100000.
Copeland bases his figuers on the
city'S 1928 registration of 100000, an
increase of nearly 100000 over any
previous election Smiths city majority
for governor was $4,000 in 1924 and
484, 1000 in, 1926. Senator Copeland
says it will be no trick, with the aug
mented 1923 registration, for the gov
ernor to capture his home town by
100000.

Garden Items.
Scarlet sage, or saliva, has long been
favorite bedding plant in the Autumn
flower garden. There are some who
object to saliva on account of It's ex-
tremely bright color, but the wide
spread use of this plant indicates that
the majority of people appreciate its
brilliant scarlet coloring. Especially in
late Autumn, when the leaves of trees
are turning color and fruits are red
dening. the saliva seems to come into
it's own. Saliva is an easy plant to
grow. Sown outdoors in late April or
early May, the plants attain Towering
size in early Autumn. The plants seed
freely, so that one can usually gather
plenty of seed for home use and to
give to friends. The seed is so hardy
that one often finds volunteer plants
coming up out of doors, but to obtain
the best results it is the better prac-
tice to gather the seed and SOW in
doors during April
Grape growers have had an unusually
difficult season. The long-continued
rainy weather has been distinctly I'M
favorable to grape ripening, so that
one frequently finds grapes apparently
fully ripe. but lacking in sweetness and
quality. Fungus troubles are unusually
abundant and the grape berry moth
has taken its usual toll of the fruits.

liant and is also red grape. These
two varieties deserve greater c0nsidera-
ton from local home gardeners.
AS for varieties of the California type,
they are grown here quite satisfactorily,
but don't seem to thrive extra well. 1t
is quite unlikely that varieties such as
Muscat. Hamburg and the Tokays will
ever become standards in our Washing
ton and nearby gardens. They are,
however, attractive material with which
to develop an interesting garden hobby,
but can scarcely be expected to yield
consistent annual crops.
For those who do not object to the
