Raskob. under dale at October 29th writes Democrats predicting victory for the Democratic-tlcket, as follows; Out of the 19,000,000 ballots distri buted by the Literary Digest only 2. ?188.337 have been returned. Of these 1,539,617 were returned from people who voted the Republican ticket lu 1924 and only 684,308 were returned from those who voted the Democratic ticket in 1924. While the Literary Di gest may have mailed the ballots to as many Democrats as Republicans and undoubtedly have taken every other precaution to Insure a fair poll. Manifestly the result of a poll In which out of every 3300 votes receiv ed 2300 are from 1924 Republicans and only 1,000 from 1924 Democrats cannot accurately forecast the result1 of an election. Au analysts of the New York City poll shows that ballots were receiv ed from 30 percent of the enrolled Republicans and from less than 10 percent of the enrolled Democrats. In spite of this the poll gives New York City to Smith In the ratio of Smith 139,020 versus Hoover 103,847. Accurate and reliable information from all over the country reveals the brightest prospects for Democratic victory. Governor Smith's election Is assured. Make this an absolute cer t-iluty yby perfecting your organiza tion to protect the polls and see that an honest count is obtained. See that everyone .tvbo Is legally entitled to vote goes,.to the. polls. The tremer. SqjL?rising tide for the Democratic ticket makes It all the more impera tive for the Democratic organizations und clubs throughout the country to be prepared, energetic and vigilant. The enemy Is on the run. Victory is curs. P. T. A. Meeting At Zpsom We are requested to announce that there .will be a meeting ot the Epsom High 8chool P. T. A. Friday the 2nd of November ;t 2:30.

DU BOIS PROTESTS AL SMITH'S STAND \V\ E. Du Bols. Editor of The Crisis, negro monthly and well kuotfu cham pion of the'' negro race, protests against A! Smith's stand on the ue gro question. x * ? "In all of Governor Smith's long career, he has sedulously avoided re cognizing negroes in any way. He has twice vetoed bills which would have given a negro magistrate to i'arlem. He -has uever given a uegro any major appointment. He has sel. dorn been willing to receive a negro de'egatlon and it is doubtful it he has met personally in all his career a half-dozen of the 150.000 negroes, in Ms State."
