DALLAS, Texas, Sept. 22.7tHE
When the Kansas City and Houston
conventions finished work some
weeks ago with Election OF Hoover
and Smith there were some who
ventured the prediction that tradi-
tional barriers would be swept aside
and that votes would be found in
foreign fields. These, who risked
regulations. now may safely say y
told you so.p
For their notification they have
only to review the political happen
ings Of the week. The period has
witnessed qualification Of battle
lines that now exempt no sector,
and gave testimony that both eandi-
dates mean 70 take their electoral
votes where they can find them.
That Is particularly true Of this
southwestern region. where strange
events are being recorded.
With tactics typical OF his New
York campaigns, Governor Smith
has carried his fight into the re-
publican farmer strongholds Of the
midwest and has swoopcd down into
Oklahoma TO combat nm admittedly
stronger Hoover sentiment in that
colony of normal democracy.
Hoover Promised Texas
From this neighboring state w
Texas. meanwhile, word has been
carried to Mr.. Hoover that III hc
would make but one speech here the
state might be his in November,
That situation il the more remark
able because the message, an earnest
appeal, was carried not by repuhli-
cans but By men who have in the
past received the honors Of the DEM
ocratic party.
Similar counsel from the rest Of
the solid south has been given IL
Mr.. Hoover and he has accepted
some Of H., %consentinr Il speak in
Elizabethton, Tenn. The plea from
Texas was made 10 the nominee on
his return from a crusade in New
Jersey by a delegation headed BY
Tom Love. former democratic ma
tional committeeman, and now d
leader Of the a~nti-Smith forces in
the Lone Star state. He made Sc.
rious representation that n speech
by Mr.. Hoover at the right time in
this vast empire ~ democracy might
produce a Psychological impact tha:
would swing the states votes 70
him.
Both Praised
Whether Hoover will decide per-
sonally u aid his party and Che
Smith foes here II not known. All
present he is studying the effect ~
his flying visit through New Jer-
sey towns to Newark. where he de-
livered a detailed republican preach
mcnt on the tariff, immigration. J.
Dor and prosperity. He may be Civ
ing some thought also to his west
ern frontiers where his opponent,
waving the Smith brown derry ~ oi
yorc. Is telling the farmer that ke
canno expect relief from the re-
publicans.
a. Hoover rests IN Washington
and Smith continues his swing
through the west. both are being
deluged with congratulatory mes
sagcs on their forum arguments.
