Hoey Predicts Sure Win This Fall For Party Plans To Make 25 Shp'bv Man Will Start On Speak ing Tour Around October 1. Hits lour States. Approximately 400 electoral votes appear definitely headed lor the Democratic national ticket of Roosevelt and Garner. and since the Maine election lias shown such a pronounced Democratic trend, i here is an excellent chance of a landslide of even greater propor tions, Clyde Hoe.v, veteran cam paigner of Shelby declared in an interview in Charlotte. Mr. Hoey. in Charlotte, to be with Mrs. Hoey, who underwent an operation at the Charlotte sana torium Thursday, is planning tc start his campaign for the Demo cratic ticket around October 1. Hr plans to make 25 speeches in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee upon the request of the national committee and in re -ponse to a great number of tele grams. "Prior to the Maine election, 1 had counted upon 392 electoral votes as being practically assured for the Democratic ticket. Since j that election has shown such an unprecedented trend of votes our way, I believe we may have a Dem ocratic landslide that will sweep the country," Mr. Hoey declared. The Maine election is a simple demonstration of the way people are thinking," he added. "The peo ple of that state believe that with adequate leadership they would not have been forced to sell potatoes, the big crop of the farmers, of that .state, at ruinous prices. What is true of potatoes in Maine is true of cotton in the south, of wheat and corn in the west, oi truck farm products in certain other sections and of commodities throughout the land." Mr. Hoey, it will be recalled, pre dicted several months before the national convention that Roosevelt and Garner would be the party nominees and that these two men would unite the party and gain a following that would sweep the Democrats into power. He has not yet decided where he will make his opening speech in the campaign, but. will attempt to visit places where his command of ora tory and. unusual grasp of political affairs will do the most good.
