 T do not want this progress that we are making halted" he added dismizsing the subject.
 All Were Rcp~bltcaa
 As for the five seaboard states te be visited by the nominee, all of them were in the republican column four years ago. Massachusetts 1l electoral voteA New York's l6. Pennsylvania.s ss. New Jerseys 1l. and Maryland's gall fell under the avalanche of ballots that swept Calvin Coolidge to an overwhelmins victory.
 Governor Smith. however, is con- fident that he has bright prospecta in this vital political region and ia preparing to bring his best oratori. cal talents into play in supreme effort to swing all live states into line for tho democrats
 Assessing the results of his. second campaign tour yesterday, the New York executive expressed the opin- ion that I've have pretty we'll settled the states we have been in from what l can hear"
 "Of course," he added, "I never shared the doubt about Tennessee, that was going around. I never be- lieved that was of tho hook, or North Carolina either. I did not know about Kentucky when we started. but I am satisfied with it."
 Virginia Also
 Pressed for further comment on the results of his trip through the south. border states and mid-west, and his prospects in other states, the governor said his optimism also em- braced Virginia, Alabama, Texas, Florida. Missouri. Indiana and Illi- nois.
 Referring to Smith sentiment in some of the southern states, the nominee said all that were heard from in those states ''are tho noisy ninorities."
 "They are loud. but not numeric- ally strong" he added.
 During the press conference, the governor was led into q discussion of 'the value to the people of the can didate taking issues to them."
 That, he said. was demonstrated in the first instance by the number of telegrams and letters that we get in response, in which the people say: That is the first explanation I have heard of that subject In any detail. and that must be 50 because it is 50 completely at variance with the manner and method of conducting campaigns heretofore. where there has been no definite subject before the house but all this general talk"
 The republican party. he said. talks in 'glittering generalities about helping the farmer, about being a friend of the farmer-they are going to give him the protection of the tariff. when they know in their heart and soul that the tariff alone does not work for him."
 Will Talk For Himself
 "It also applies to finances," he continued. "A man could talk for hours on the financial system of the country. That does not do anything about it and nobody finds 1t out. The same thing applies to prohibition. Hoover says 1t must be worked out constructively. What does that mean? You would not expect . can- didate to say it ought to be worked out destructively."
 Asked if he would have a myth ical White House spokesman" if elected, the governor replied firmly:
 No sir, no sir. I shall talk for myself. Press conferences daily"
 One of Governor Smiths callers after his arrival in Albany yesterday was Thomas J. Spellacy of Hartford, Conn.,. who invited the nominee to speak at an armory there Thursday. after his Boston engagement. The governor would not promise. but as surcd MT. Spellacy that he would go if if c0uld he arranged.
