Hoover 44, Smith 4
THE latest Literary Digest poll, released for today, shows
Hnnver leading in 44 states. Smith in 4. The four for
Smith are Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and Louisiana
And the Hoover leads are substantial excepting in Ala
Kama and Arkansas.
On the face of this showing, Smith ha3 no possible
chance to squeak through with a majority of the electoral
. . Cool headed judges believe that the. electoral votes that
"are now certain for Hoover will give him at least 50 to
spare
And by the same sign the prospects are for a real land
slide. Smith's frantic whirlwind finish is perhaps turning a
few votes his way; and it is likely turning away from' him
many more than he is gaining.
- He has nothing new but a fresh assortment of wise
cracks and vituperation, and the old ones he has used have
done his cause much more harm than good.

Baiting Borah
UNABLE to answer most of Borah's arguments and afraid
to reply frankly to the rest of them, the democratic
speakers are baiting the Idaho senator; hurling epithets at
him and nilinir abuse upon "him--
But this is "nuts" for Borah. He has an awful come-
back: he is a rapid-fire artist in repartee
And all the democratic leaders who have been throwing
stones at Borah live in glass houses. None of them agrees
with Sjnith or in any of the principal issues, either before, or
after each of his new stands
. So baiting Borah is a boomerang for the baiters.
Wasting Monev
T TP to a couple of weeks ago the democratic national com-j
U mittee had used $303,037 in the corn belt states to try to
get the farmers to vote for Al Smith
And if no betterj-asult is shown than has been in evi
dence in past Al Smith campaigns in his own state in at
tempting to influence the farming vote, the whole sum has
been worse than wasted. At Smith- in his campaigns for gov
ernor never carried a county in New York outride of the
Tammany district.
Senator Norris of Nebraska takes himself .too aHfired
seriously, in bolting the republican ticket,' He has been no
where to bolt from. In politics he is what the boys on the
eastern Oregon ranges call a slick-ear. He has not been
marked or branded. The Al Smith forces, expecting much
from the Norris gesture, will see a week from Tuesday that
it was, a dud.
We have a copy of the Topeka State Journal, which is
- full of pictures of the Hon. Charles Curtis, "the most dis
tinguished citizen of Kansas." Hell be that for only a short
time. Presently he will be vice president of the-United States
and then he won't amount to any more than Ed Howe or Bill
White. Yakima Republic.

ted political sujcide by what he has said and the quick chang
es he has made.: He may be sincere, but he has taken a poor.
way to prove it to the American peopleexcepting his siri-
. centy in wanting to be elected.
The statement has just been radioed to the whole Unit
ed States that not a single democratic congressman is for
. the protective tariff. Al Smith is marooned on an island en
tirely surrounded by free trade or tariff for revenue only

that somehow you could starve

so they 05 posed the transfer from

Belgian Route Open
For two early years of the war
Hoover had kept the route to
Belgium open, in the face of op
position from German and British
militarists,; by threatening. them
with public opinion in the United
States.1 That weapon was now
dulled. Hoover could not expect
any strong backing from home.
He had for recourse only pure
reason and pure humanity. --;
With, these he hammered awav.
Did the French wish to accomplish
tneir ends by starving women aad
children even after the armistice?
Would they leave that blot on the
pages of their history? They hoped
to get from Germany reparations

He won the British to his active

not the French.

him for the existence of the Com

that occasion Lloyd George had
taken much the sam attitude as
Clemenceau was taking now. And
Hoover had persuaded him. Hence
forth the Welsh preacher-statesman
aligned himself as an admirer
and partisan of Hoover and 'his
work. Now he stood beside his
old adversary and burst into elo
quence. For once the Tiger Clem
enceau knew when he was beaten.
He gave grudging ground.
Five days later Hoover was sit
ting at Brussels with the -German
delegates, signing an agreement to
deliver food in return for the use
of German ships. The affair was
uot wholly settled. None had yet
arranged a means of financing
the operation. Finally, the Ger
mans were permitted to pledge
their gold reserve against future
payment. But Hoover did not
wait for that. The moment Clera
eneeau yielded, he was diverting
food-ships from other nations to
Germany, unloosing tne reservoirs
at Rotterdam. It checked- at
once the rising death rate; it be
gan the restoration of stability.
