Can Smith Win ? G. 0, P.
Has Advantage At Outset
By RODNEY DI'TC HER,
(NEA Service Writer)
Washington.—The question in
this campaign is whether or not
Smith can beat Hoover. The
Republicans start with the ad
vantage. The country is regard
ed as normally Republican. It's
an abnormal campaign, but who
will get the benefit of its abnor
malities?
The only possible way to guess
at the outcome is on the basis of
electoral votes, of which there are
531. In 1924 Coohdge had 382 of
those, Davis only 136 and La Fol
lette 13. In 1920 Harding had 404
and Cox 127. Smith must virtually
double the Davis electoral vote hi
order to win; he must take 130 away
from the Republicans, as 266 elects.
Obviously thin, Smith faces
great odds. If he does win, it can
hardly be by more than a bare
majority. At the moment, an ef
fort to show how he can win must
be helped on by a great many as
sumptions. We must assume, and
this seems fairly safe, that the solid
South will again cast its 114 votes
for the Democratic ticket.
It is also*all-important that Smith
carry his own state of New York with
45. It's not certain that he will, but j
if he can’t this story might as well
be ended right here. Anyway, New
York and the South would *give hintr
159. He ought to get the thre?
vote states of Arizona, Nevada and
New Mexico along with Rhode Is
land's five, making 173.
But let's look at Hoover. If we
start with the South's 114 as a reas
onable certainty for Smith, we must
line up some regularly Republican
states for Hoover and consider them
pretty sure to be his. Let s give him
California, Colorado, Idaho. Indiana.
Iowa. Kansas. Maine, Michigan, New
Hampshire. Ohio, Oregon. Pennsyl
vania, South Dakota. Utah, Ver
mont, Washington, West Virginia
and Wyoming. One or two of these
states might conceivably go for
Smith, but probably won't. Their to
tal electoral vote is 184
t Don't take all this dop-' too set - 1
iously! >
Hoover also confidently expects to
hold these: Illinois 29, Minnesota
12, Nebraska 8. North Dakota 5.!
Total 54. Grand total of Hoover’s
probable electoral votes, according to
our figuring—238.
That would leave Hoover only
28 votes short of election. We left
Smith with 173, which was 93 shott
of election.
The states we haven't yet assigned
to anyone are:
\ East: Connecticut 7. Delaware 3.
Maryland 8, Massachusetts 18; New
Jersey 14
Border: Kentucky 13, Oklahoma
10. Tennessee 12.
West: Missouri 18, Wisconsin 13,
Montana 4
That leaves us with 120 "doub1
ful” electoral votes on our hands.
| Democrats in the border states say
[they can hold them in the Demo
cratic column. If we assume they
know what they're talking about.
we can give Smith 35 more elec
toral votes and bring him up io
208, leaving us 85 votes still undis
tributed.
Hoover still has 238 and needs
only 28. He might get them from
Missouri and Wisconsin and let
the east go hang. Nearly all Dem
ocratic calculations count Missouri
inside the Smith stockade.
The Republican managers recently
difficulty in deciding that the really
important battle ground of the cam
paign lay in the east. Eastern na
tional committeemen claimed to be
perturbed over the fact that this
was wet territory and that their
partyts platform and candidate were
dry while the other party’s man was
wet The New York, Massachuset's
and Connecticut committeemen who
were the backbone of the "dratt
Coolidge" movement in the precor.
vention campaign were all afraid ol
Smith for that reason. They felt
Coolidge would have a much better
chance to beat him in their states
than Hoover.
Anyway, getting back to our cal
culations and remembering that
we're trying to prove how Smith ;
might be elected—those eastern i
states which we haven't awarded yet
may be regarded as wet. On the
other hand they are normally Re
publican in presidential years. Henc?
we re up in the air as to how they're '
going to vote. If Smith carried
them all he would still need eight
electorial votes. He would be more
likely to get them from Missouri
than' from Wisconsin, but he might ‘
never get them at all.

Thursday Closing
Starts Something
Disagreement And Lack Of Unity
Shows Up Again Among
Some Grocers
If July and August linger long
enough the half holiday each Thurs
day in the Shelby business district
may attain controversy proportion?
equal to the A1 Smith argument.
Yesterday more of the business
section was closed up than on any
previous Thursday as retail mer
chants, other than grocers, fell in
line and closed their doors—that is.
the larger percentage of them did.
But the same trouble that marked
last Thursday's closing among the
grocers developed again yesterday.
Which is to say. some of them clos
ed and some did not.
One store, which carried a sign
early in the week "We Close on
Thursday afternoons,'' carried an
''Open'' sign Thursday.
Postoffice windows were also
closed Thursday afternoon.

From Shelby Where, and How Far?
Chart Gives Information to Autoist
How far is it from Shelby to the ;
nearest county seat in the state;
how far to the most distant North
Carolina county seat? Suppose some
motorist should ask you the distance
to Lincolnton or to Manteo, could
you tell him?
Lincolnton is the nearest county
seat—23 miles away; Manteo is the
most distant—426 miles
An auto chart recently compile.!
by Alderman J. F. Ledford for Haw
kins Brothers, auto dealers, gives
every county seat in the state and
its distance in motor miles from
Shelby.
' "From Murphy to Manteo" is ar.
expression often heard in North Car
olina It means from the eountv seat
in the extreme east to the county
seat in the extreme west—or “from
the sun-kissed shores of the Atlan
tic to the lofty spires of the Blue
Ridge." How far is it from Murphv
to Manteo by Highway 20 which
runs through Shelby? Six hundred
and twenty-eight miles if you care
to be exact—202 from Murphy down
to Shelby and 426 on to Manteo.
Two fairly good driving days. The
route by Highway 10 is said to be 10
miles nearer.
There arc only two county seats
in the state over 400 miles from
Shelby—Manteo and Currituck.
There are 16 county-seats over 300
miles away, and 25 less than 100
milec

quarters. New Chairman To
Tour State
Raleigh. July 19.—Odus M. Mull,
of Shelby, who was selected chair
man of the Democratic state execu
tive committee on Tuesday night,
■will make a tour of the state, visit
ing every congressional district, be
fore the campaign drive starts in
earnest, it was announced following
a series of conferences which Mr.
Mull and O. Max Gardner, guber
natorial nominee, held with staie
candidates and Congressman War
ren, Hammer, Bulwinkle and Weaver
and J. Bayard Clark, nominee in
the sixth district.
Mr. Mull will begin his tour about
August 1, and will open headquarters
in Raleigh sometime during that
month while the speaking campaign
will not get into full swing until
September. No definite arrange
ments have been made, but it is
probable that the headquarters will
not be at the Sir Walter hotel as
has been the case for several years
but will be conducted from an of
fice building, probably the Elks’ I
Home or the Odd Fellows building.
No decision has been made as to |
the secretary of the committee, a po
sition held for the last six years by
W. C. Coughneour. of Salisbury. The
committee on Tuesday night em- i
powered Mr. Mull to name the secre
tary and it Ls probable that some
one will be chosen with a view to
frequent absences from headquar
ters by the chairman who expects
to spend much time in the field.
Headquarters Here
The fact that Mr. Gardner and
Mr. Mull both live in Shelby make
that place an ideal pre-campaign
headquarters and preliminary work
will begin at once. The first talk will
be the issuance of the campaign
handbook in which D. G. Brummitt,
retiring chairman, R. A. Doughton,
A. J. Maxwell and others will assist
Air of Confidence
An air of confidence followed the
conferences, but reports were re
ceived to the effect that full Re
publican tickets have been placed
in the field in counties which have
usually gone Democratic in default.
However, the only disaffection re
ported affects the national ticket
only.
Leaders generally expressed much
satisfaction over the outcome of the
meeting Tuesday night, when op
position to the customary resolution
endorsing all of the candidates of
! the party threatened for a time to
split the committee.
However, the resolution offered by
Congressman Lindsey C. Warren
was adopted with only a scattering
negative vote and relief was express
I ed that the opposition had been air

FHEiiS
FOR COMING FAIR
County People May Get Prizes For
Curious Fruits, Trees, Etc.
Slogan Contest On.
The owners of freak apples, pears,
vegetables, beets, or what have you
in Cleveland county may win prizes
with their curiosities of nature at
the Cleveland County fair this fall.
Fair officials announced today
that a new department—the freak
department—will be created for the
coming fair.
As fair officials have no idea of
what may be brought in under the
freak head it is hard to arrange a
premium list, but generally the pre
miums will be as follows:
Most curious tree, or shrub form
ation, three prizes—one dollar, fif
ty cents, twenty-five cents, most cu
rious fruit formation, three prizes
of a similar amount for the best spec
imen of metal found in county and
also for best specimen of county ore.
In announcing the new exhibit
[ fair officials want to get in touen
with some one interested in freaks
and curiosities to take charge of the
new department. Any one who w oul 1
like to handle this exhibit is asked
to communicate with Mrs. Irma
Wallace, home agent.
Get in Slogans.
Only one week remains of the
slogan contest in which citizens of
the county are contesting to get
the winning slogan for the fair. Only
Shelby people, it is said, have con
tributed slogans so far and an ap
peal is made for the entire county to
participate. The winning slogan gets
a season admittance ticket and free
admission to all attractions; the
second best gets a season entrance
ticket, and the third best a ticket for
one day. Slogans should be forward
ed to the home agent.

ORATORY OF HOEY
MAY OPEN DRIVE
Chairman Fails Making Plans For
Most Active Campaign In
County In Years
The opening gun in the Dem
ocratic party’s campaign both
for Cleveland county and North
Carolina may be fired at the
court house here next Tuesday
night, it was annismccd today
by Judge B. T. Falls, county
Democratic chairman.
"Insofar as I know it will be tho
informal opening of the state cam
paign," declared Mr. Fails just back
from Raleigh where he attended the
executive meeting and conference of
party heads. “Since a Shelby man
is the candidate for governor and
another Shelby man is the new
state chairman, this city and county
will be the center of early campaign
activity, and if the program con
sidered for next Tuesday night
turns out as expected we hope to
have one of the biggest political
rallies in years.”
Plan For Speaker
Present arrangements call for
former Congressman Clyde R. Hoev
to make the chief address in the
Tusday night rally. Heralded as
one of the most forceful Democratic
campaigners in the state and South
Mr. Hoey is also a favorite with
home audiences as in recent years
he has not been heard so much at
home except in court cases and be
fore his big Bible class.
There will be other talks on the
program in addition to the one by
Mr. Hoey, and Governor-to-be
Gardner may be among the lead-'
ers present.
At county headquarters it wa3
stated that district and precinct
leaders are already being notified of
the big rally and are in turn pass
ing out thg word.
Expects Big Victory
“Sure, I’m expecting the biggest
Democratic majority ever for Cleve
land county this fall,” declared
Chairman Palls when queried.
"I see no reason why it should be
otherwise and I know numerous
reasons why there should be. First
of all the party in the county seems
united and satisfied, and insofar as
I know there are no local issues. Wa
came through the Spring primary
without any bitter feelings lingering
over and that shows the condition
the party is in since there were 10
candidates for sheriff a runoff and
earnest, clean work on the part of
all candidates. When a party can
emerge from a big primary like that
without local issues why not expect
a big majority in the election?
“Again, if you’ll notice, Cleveland
county is the hub of Democratic
politics this year. The Democratic
| candidate for governor, Mr. Gard
| ner, is a county man. Of course
Cleveland county is going to send
a mammoth vote in behind the
county’s first governor—and I mean
there will be many Republicans who
will help the county roll up a big
lead for its favorite son. Then Mr.
Mull is state chairman, the most im
portant post in North Carolina in
campaign tunes, and with general
activity directed here there will bo
added interest; not to mention that
of the two presidential electors in
the state one is a county man, Clyde
R. Hoey. while the district elector is
Capt. Peyton McSwain.
New Interest Up
"Were a Democratic county na
turally but in recent years there has
been no exceptional interest shown,
but this year with the county play
ing an important role more votes
than ever will be cast. I predict the
biggest majority ever for the Demo
cratic ticket. The national ticket
will fall behind the county and
state ticket a few votes, but will still
be higher than usual."
Within a week or so plans will
have been outlined for a complete
campaign and speaking tour of the
county, it was further stated.
SUPERTOR COURT ri
OPENS ON MONDAY
The regular July term of Superior
court will convene here Monday
morning with Judge James L. Webb
presiding, and the criminal docket
to be taken up is expected to at
tract more than customary interest.
Tuesday will likely draw one of
the largest crowds of the term as
a big democratic rally will be held at
the court house Tuesday night and
many of those who will attend
court one day will do so on Tues
day in order to be present at th*
rally the same night. ,
