"By action Of the Democratic ma

leader Of my party in the nation.

ity thereby imposed I shall not in ad-
vance of the convention either sup

Political wiseacres Immediately as
sumo that Mr.. Smiths statement
meant he had Joined the stop .Roose-

delegation would be split up; that the
nomination Of the present governor Of
the Empire state would be difficult to
bring about, If not impossible, and
that there would be deadlock in the
convention comparable to that in the
Democratic national gathering in New
York city nearly eight years ago. Sup
porters Of Mr.. Roosevelt refused to be
discouraged and began to redouble
their efforts. Republican leaders ex-
pressed their quiet delight In the stu
alton, believing 1t enhanced the
chances Of success for their party In
November.
Then came a new development that
left the prophets all up In the air.
Mr.. Smith made an unannouneed
friendly call on Governor Roosevelt in
Albany-the first in a long time-and
after he left the governor emerged all
smiles, declining to say anything
about the conversation that had been
held. The guessers then guessed that

DIUS XI, who had Just celebrated

walton to the papal throne, received
on Thursday his first visit from Pre-
mier Mussolini. The day was chosen
because 1t was the third anniversary
of the signing Of the Lateran treaty
and concordat, and nominally the
Duce called to thank the pope for the
award of knighthood of the Golden
Spur which made Mussolini defend
er Of the Catholic faith. The inter-
view between these two strong men,
who really admire each other, took
place in the pope's private library
and was behind closed doors. But the
premier, in full uniform, was received
at the Vatican with all the pomp usu-
ally accorded to visiting royalty. Ac-

MURRAY TAX PLAN

Governor Submits Income Levy
Proposal to Be Voted on in

OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla, October
29.-1ntereSt in an utterly uninteresting
State campaign has been awakened by
Gov. Alfalfa Bill Murrays presentation
of an initiated income tax bill to be
voted upon in Oklahoma on November
g. Faced with a deficit of more than
$4,000. 600. which increases from month
to month. Gov. Murray proposes to meet
the situation by levylng upon business
the heaviest income tax collected By any
State in the Union. An exemption of
$1,000 is allowed individual incomes.
The maximum rate On earned incomes
is 10 per cent.
Business is Mortified at the possibility.
Oklahoma is surrounded by States with
out an income tax. Visions of all es-
tablished business leaving the State to
avoid Murray's clutches are seen. while
a State organization muSters opposition
to the measure.
After stalling all Summer and Fall.
Gov. Murray finally announced two
weeks before the vote that he had won
the battle of wits and had decided to
submit the measure. thinking it too
late for the opposition to develop much
steam.
There has been little change In the
situation-it is still Roosevelt by from
100000 up.
Some interest has been beaten up in
the eighth district. where the lone Re
publican Representative c. Gar
ber-is striving to hang on to his seat
by drumming up the prohibition issue

Democratic opponent. CARRIER has an
even chance to win, considering the fact
that the women have been aroused over

How the Political Tides Are Flowing

Washington, that the Republican
presidential ticket will have a small
but safe ma jority," although several
months ago it was generally be-
lleved Roosevelt would carry the
State by substantial margin.
Smiths references to prohibition in
his speech early in the week is be-
lieved to have brought dry farmers
in Washington into line for Hoover.
From nearby Oregon, however,
Genes word that unless the voters
develop decided change of heart in
the remaining week, that State
seems destined to go to Roosevelt.
The only other year in which Ore
gon went Democratic was in 1912.
The fact that Senator Hiram John
son Of California is not supporting
President Hoover is reported to be
having an effect in Oregon.
Other Western States.
Montana still appears to be doubt
full, With heavy registration on
both sides. Utah is still reported to
be leaning Democratic, but the bat
tie fer votes is expected to continue
to the last day. In Wyoming Presi-
dent Hoover is said to have made
gains. but whether they are sufficient
to bring victory is not clear at this
time. Democrats in the West con-
centrated much of their effort dur
ing the week in Colorado in an ef-
fort to offset a vigorous campaign
staged there the previous week by
the Republicans.
The Democrats are still confident
Of carrying Nebraska. although the
Republicans are putting forward
strenuous efforts to turn the tide.
In Nevada the Republicans have
been concentrating on the tariff
issue. An observer there says this
may prove effective in keeping the
State in the Republican column, but
that the trend at present continues
to lean toward the Democrats.
Dispatches from Wisconsin show
the campaign has reached a lively
stage there, with both sides fighting
hard. The La Toilette Progressive

didates. it is said, means the Demo-
Gratis will receive a substantial part
of the Progressive votes cast in the

cal correspondents of The

Republicans. Most of these definite
changes, however, were in States
that do not have large blocks of
electoral votes.
Washington and Delaware, with
eight and three electoral votes, re-
spectively. are reported to be leaning
Republican. The former had been
regarded as doubtful, while the latter
had previously been classed as lean
ing Democratic. At the same time
dispatches indicate Oregon, with five
votes, is showing a Democratic trend
at this time.
South Dakota heretofore has been
listed as leaning Democratic, but
advices his week show no decided
leaning. and is therefore in the
doubtful group.
While these fluctuations are be-
ing recorded from widely separated
areas, both big political parties are
gi~6ing for a final offensive during
the remaining week of the campaign.
especially in the larger States like
New York, Illinois, Ohio, New jersey,
Missouri and Michigan. where the
blocks of electoral votes are large
and an important factor.
No Change in New York.
No material change was observed
during the week in the situation in
New York State. which. with its AZ
votes. was reported a week ago as
leaning toward the Roosevelt Gar
ner ticket.

report from Nebraska points out
that his later speech in Boston will
tend to smooth over the situation.

made up their minds and will not
change.
A dispatch from Rhode Island says
Smith has gone long way by his
speeches at Providence and Boston
toward removing the resentment
that existed there over the failure
to nominate him at the Democratic
convention.
AS to the situation in New York,
it is pointed out that polls show
President Hoover and Col Donovan,
Republican nominee for Governor,
running well in the western part of
the State. From downstate. how
ever. the reports are said to be less
encouraging to the Republicans.
while the tremendous vote indicated
by the registration in New York
City is regarded as a significant
straw as to what is due on election
night. Smiths belated activity. an
observer in New York reports, is
stemming in part at least a tide
which was setting in toward Presi-
dent Hoover.
Ohio and Illinois.
President Hoover's recent speeches
are said to be awakening the party
pride Of Republicans in Ohio, which
is reflected in straw votes. An OBJ
server there predicts, however, that
it does rot seem likely any such
change has or is likely to take place
as would be sufficient to make the
result IN the State different from
indications earlier in the campaign.
All superficial indications in Illinois
are said to sustain the prediction
that the Democratic presidential
ticket Will win there. but Republican
leaders. both in Chicago and down.
State insist that the President is
gaining rapidly throughout the State.
Complete and official registration

margin is 404 1000. Reports from the
Coast say that while the most OPP

the Presidents plurality in the State
to be anything like this figure. OBJ

and also will pick up many from

presidential race should be close in
