AL CONSERVES
HIS STRENGTH
Smith Taking Things
Easy Getting Rest
And Recreation

ALBANY, ". Y, July 26.-R1-
When the time comes for Governor
Smith to set a fast pace on the cam
paign stump, he counts on being in
tip-top shape for the grind. Leaving
organization Of his presidential fight
largely to others, he is conserving
hiA strength, getting considerable
rest, and INDUCING in his favorite
sports, golf and swimming as
means of keeping in condition.
Regardless of his retiring hour ut
night. the democratic nominee always
aims to get in ut least eight hours
sleep. He is spending only a limited
time at his office each day, usually
showing up there shortly before noon
after a substantial ham and eggs
breakfast.
As a rule the governor does with
out lunch. unless ID is for a glass Of
milk and a sandwich, and IL the
weather is good, he makes a practice
during the afternoon of taking time
for a round Of golf or a swim.
IL Is a desire 20 get plenty Of both
sports over the weekend that has
prompted him to take a few DAYS
vacation nc Good Ground. Long Island,
where he will 20 Saturday, after
stopping off in New York tomorrow
night for a conference with Governor
Richie Of Maryland.
While he Is here, Smith, when in a
swimming mood, uses a private pool
on the farm lei Albany of Lieut..
Governor Corning. II one should ask
the governor IL he can really swim,
he'll recall that IL was a sink or
swim proposition when as q young
ster he used TO dive off the docks
into the East River, and that he
never has forgotten what he learned
in those days.
As for golf. the democratic nominee
makes no pretense Of being an ex-
pert, although he enjoys the games.
He doesn't worry about his style or
score, and usually says little about
either. He plays on n Of q half
dozen courses around Albany.
In deciding on a brief vacation AZ
the seashore, Governor Smith has de.
termined TO keep politics, aside from,
his scheduled chat with Governor
Richie, in the background. He plans
to forget, for a few days, about pre-
paration Of the acceptance speech he
will deliver on the evening OF Angus,
p, and is leaving 70 q group Of assist.
ants arrangements for his notifica.
