SMITH SURE OF
Brown Derby Back From 10,006
Mile Swine; Wearer Says
South Hill Back Him
Albany.—The brown derby is
back home again, In five weeks it
has travelled 10.000 miles.
Strictly speaking,- it is not the
same brown derby. The test of ,t
series went off the trutn at Cleve
land. But a new one*— just the right
size—was presented to Gov. Smith
at Utica,
Down And Out.
•'We got rid of about four on the
trip and we were just about down
and out when we picked this one
up in Utica," said Gov, Smith, gaz
ing fondly at his new headpiece.
He will wear it on his last foray,
up and down the Atlantic seaboard,
which begins in Boston Wednesday.
The expedition which has just
ended—through a corner of the
south, the border states. Illinois and
Indiana—has impressed those who
have mat.e it as observers and has
eminently satisfied Gov. Smith.
The observers were impressed by
the unbroken succession of tumultu
ous popular receptions. Curiosity
undoubtedly swelled the dimensions
of the crowds, but it could not have
made them roar shriek, a ad surge
through police imes in “xubenuit
scrambles to touch and run beside
the man with the brown derby.
Satisfied.
• Well. I think we have pretty well
settled the states v have teen in
from what 1 can hear.' he said
**Of course, I never shared the doubt
about, Tennessee that was going
around. 1 never believed that was
off the hook nor North Carolina
either. I did not know about Ken
tucky when we started, but I am
satisfied with it."
Any doubts about Virginia, Ala
bama. Texas. Florida?
••No.. All we are hearing from in
those states art ilfiMi^tsy minorities.
They are 'oud out not numerically
strong,'’
Satisfied with Missouri?
•'Yes.'
Illinois. Indiana?
"The leaders down there say they
are all right.”
Immediately upon his arrival in
Albany, Gov. Smith went out to play
golf.
Attends Mass.
The train had stopped at Utica for
an hour to permit him and his
family to attend mass.
Wednesday, he will start "the
battle for the Atlantic seaboard,” in
Boston. On the following day, he
will return to New York by way of
Providence, Hartford and New
Haven.
