SMOOT' 5 STATE
TOROOSEVELT,
POLL SHOWS
Governor Leads All Sections;
Nearby States Also to
Go to Democrats
BY COLE e. MORGAN

Utah, one of the political
surprises of this years cam
paign, will go Democratic by
a majority of around $1,000.
This is according to returns to
date in the nationwide postcard
presidential poll of The Washing
ton Times and other Hearst
papers.
A detailed analysis of the poll
ballots by counties and congress
sional districts shows the Demo
cratic sweep Of the State promises
to be general and not localized
to any particular section.
Leads in All Districts
The First congressional district
shows a so per cent Roosevelt
vote in the poll returns. Based
on the 1923 vote Of that district,
this would indicate a Roosevelt
majority Of 16,500.
The Second district figures out
a 81 per cent Roosevelt poll re-
SponSe. This would mean 2O,50O
Roosevelt majority in that dis
trict, and the $1,000 for the State
as a whole.
Salt Lake county, the largest
voting unit in the State, records
a 81 per cent Roosevelt poll vote.
This county accounts for 16,500
Of the Second districts potential
Roosevelt majority.
Weber county, embracing the
city Of Ogden, shows 65 per cent
for Roosevelt. That would mean
a $500 Roosevelt lead in that
county, a third of the First dis
trict majority.
Utah county, casting the third
largest vote in the State in the
last election, records a so per cent
Roosevelt poll vote. This would
mean about $500 Roosevelt lead
in that county.
Same in Nearby States
It is much the same story
through the rural counties spread
out over the Utah mountains.
There is scarcely a county in the
State that shows a Hoover lead.
The adjoining States of Nevada,
Arizona and New Mexico tell
pretty much the same kind Of
story. New Mexico has returned
a 81 per cent Roosevelt poll vote,
Arizona 81 per cent for Roosevelt,
and Nevada u per cent for the
Democratic candidate.
These four states can all be
placed in the Roosevelt column
on November 8.

PRINCE GEORGE,
NOT WALES.
England Feels Certain of It
After Younger Brother
Takes Her to Movie

LONDON, Nov. l (IN.S.).
Prince George, youngest son
of the king and queen, is
the British royal scion whom
Princess Ingrid, Of Sweden, is
to marry, England told her.
self today.
And the Prince of Wales, the
worlds most eligible bachelor ~
has played the role of royal
matchmaker rather than that OF
a suitor, and other feminine
hearts Of regal rank can still re
gard him as being 'in circula'
ton"
The forthcoming engagement
Of George and Ingrid was &C.
cepted as a foregone conclusion
as a result of the couples visit
to West End movie" theater
last night. England now is GER
tain their engagement will be
the subject of the important
announcement" Stockholm de-
clared would be made in London
on November II, birthday of the
Princess father.
People Pleased
The morning press, pleased at
the democratic" nature of the
movie excursion, reflected the at
titude Of all classes, from society
women to factor" girls.
It was the first appearance of
the two together in England and
was similar to many informal
dates" the couple had recently
in Stockholm, when Prince George
was there with his older brother,
the Prince of Wales.
Prince George and Ingrid, with
the Earl and Countess Of Ath-
lone, went to the Plaza Theater
unannounced, slipped in after the
start Of the performance, sat in
regular orchestra seats, and left
just before the end of the show.
They were not recognized.
About the only point that could
be raised by those doubling the
engagement would be announced
soon was that George, as the
youngest male member of the
royal family, would be the logi-
cal escort for the princess, a. rel.
ative. ;.ft ft't "a
Entertained by Wales
However, the frequency of their
appearances together in Sweden
and the obviously happy attitude
of the Princess on these occa.
sions dispelled all doubts for most
EngliShmen.
The Prince of Wales was now
readily accepted as the match.
maker. Just before the couple
went to see the movie, they were
entertained by the heir to the
throne at dinner party at York
House.
This, coupled with the fact
that the Prince of Wales was
with the younger couple much of
the time in Stockholm-so much,
in fact, that he often was named
as the one 1ngrid was to marry
appeared to confirm his match
making role.
