'Some Predictions.
(Copyright, 1928, by Star Co.)
Wall Street went to bed lifter
a (lay with stocks goaiR up,
trading brisk, and the "list''
bended toward higher levels,
something unknown on the eve
of a national election.
' Ami the Wall Street betting
was five to one on Hoover.
If yon think that betting was
based on sentiment or political
preference, yon don't know
'Wall Street.
The street would be ns well
pleased with Smith as with
Hoover. A good part of it bet
ivr pleased, as is proved by the
" flight toward Democracy of
many "big" Republicans.
Frank Hague, mayor of Jer
sey City, who knows his state,
says Governor Smith will carry
New Jersey, with 100,0(10 plti
. rality in Hudson county alons.
There will be surprises in
Southern states.
Henry Ford says the world
is "on the threshold of the in
dustrial and comfortable age,"
and Herbert Hoover as "social
engineer" is th.right leader
appearing at the right time.
M
In this age of engineering,
with Hoover's election, the
world will note with interest
that he is the first engineer
elected President of the-Tinted
Stales since the election of
fonrge, Washington. -
M
In Xew Ashford. HI tie Mas
sachusetts town with DO voters,
the vote will be for Jfoover 30,
Al Smith 0. The one Dcmo
irat in New Ashford has aban
doned his party.
But the big Boston and other
.Massachusetts cities will tell a
different story. Republicans j
who say what they think pre
dict that Governor Smith will
carry Massachusetts.
Wall Street last night bet fi
to ii that Smith would carry
New York 'state, while betting
T to 1 on Hoover to win.
Secretary Mellon put the sit
uation concisely in his final
statement: "If the people are
sjiitisfied with the kind and
(filalily of government they
have had, they should insure
a continuance of its benefits by
retaining the service of those
who made good."
V. Many voters will be influ
enced by the fact that among
"those who mmle good" is Mr.
Mellon himself. The . country
would not like to lose his serv
ices. Perhaps Governor Smith,
if elected, would ask him to
slay on, nlthough it is presum
ed that Mr. Kaskob would suc
ceed Mr. Mellon followiug Gov
ernor Smith's election.
Wlinlovpr happens todny.
Tlovernor Smith's friends, in it
f.'flrcl foupht cnmpiiiiii?, mny re
member with comfort thnt no
other Demoenit could linve
been elected..
The Democrats bcRan the
enmpnijrn faeinar a Conlitltte plti-i-ality
of 7,000,000 antl RK
JTllMCAX riiOSl'KIUTV.
.Seven million plurality, plus
prosperity under ordimiry eir
etimstances would justify the
odds of 5 to 1 on Hoover.
Prosperity leads to happiness
and the real issue in every cam
paign is happiness. When peo
I'ln think they arc prosperous,
Vi can hardly persuade them
to vote for n change.
