‘'Old Potato” Is Latest Catch Slogan In The Political World Washington.- A new and classic phrase has. entered the cockeyed annals ot American political his tory: "How are'you, you old potato?” It has little in common with1 most of the others-"Rum, Ro manism and Rebellion," "He Kept TTs Out of War,” “Tippecanoe and Tyler, Too." "Sixteen-^o One,” “Burn Tins Letter," “Back to Nor malcy,” "Thou Shalt Not Steal.” “Three Hundred and Twenty-nine," “Free Soli, Fre* Speech, J^ree Men and Fremont." But there they are 'he Very word* used by A1 Smith as he pub licly signalised his reconciliation with Governor Roosevelt In what seems to have been the most Im portant "break" In this pregnant campaign. Now the Democrats can parade through New Jersey, New York and New England with a banner bear ing no other Insignia than a large, handsome potato, flaunting it. be fore those brave, grim Irishmen whose' loyalty to A1 has led'them to eaehew the charming governor and threaten to deprive him of many Important electoral votes. Other politicians may Juggle sole ly with the more ponderous and dignified phases and Issues of the campaign, but It takes A1 Smith to toes In such homely items as ba loney and potatoes. Somehow jmm cannot imagine Mr Hoover calling Senator "good old Idaho potato.” Yet.Al’s lack o! dignity in acoent and phraseology certainly coat him plenty of mlddle class votes In 1928. The big reunion of A1 and Frank teemed to have been carefully planned. Roosevelt’s evening would not have been spoiled In the slight est even If he had been called an old turnip, an old cabbage or an old egg plant. Not only u "oia potato an ex pression which will not be forgot ten by the political historians. There is a good chance that it will assume enormous importance. For it may b% Just s^hat was needed to give the Democrats New York state, and Newport state, with its 47 electoral votes, may easily prove to have been Just what the Demo crats needed to carry the country. Various polls have Indicated a very close race in New York and Democrats have believed that there wouldn’t have been any question about it except for the resentment of ATs followers. Massachusetts and perhaps the rest of New England may be irre trievably lost to Rodsevelt. but New Jersey is likely to vote the same ticket as New York, as it has in the last nine elections It is well to remember that the two states have gone Republican in every two party presidential contest of the last 40 years and that there Is no assurance that they will now change, although the prospects'are definitely brighter. The chances would seem to be that A1 Smith and FrankMn “Old Potato” Roosevelt, pulling together, can hold their own home state. They are the two smartest politic ians of the period. They miss very few tricks and makes hardly any breaks.

P. vote Will more than double that which elected Qov. I bra C. Blackwood on the Democratic ticket in 1928. Democrats in this state have sel dom bothered to vote on general election day. In their primaries they turn out by the hundred thou sands but as the nomination has heretofore been equivalent to elec tion, few have bothered with the "ratification" that the general election amounted to. In 1928, however, the A1 Smith Hfrbert Hoover fight, with its at tendant Hoover-Democrat’, stirred the Democratic party to such a pitch that more than 50,000 of them voted for Smith. At the same time, Hoover, got 3,188 ballots. South Carolina gave the former New York governor the largest per centage victory he received In any state.

CT-YDK R HOKY Trustee • - et oct ic Two States Are ! After Big Tax i Reynolds Estate | North Carolina And New York lloth Swk To Sharp In In heritance Taxes. I Winston-Salem.—Two states are ilooking to receiving a slice of the (.estate of Smith Reynolds, slain to* ; bacco heir, while establishment of I his legal residence remained in I doubt. North Carolina officials said "any steps necessary’’ to protect the state's Interest in collection of In heritance taxes on the estate would be taken, while officials In New I York state figured on receiving a sum of nearly two millions if the will is probated as offered in the City of* New York. The will of Reynolds, found shot to death ai his home neiy here sev eral months ago, was filed tn New I York last week and left his $15, 000.000 estate for the most part to relatives. The will set forth that young Reynolds, who was 20 when he died, was a resident of that state. 1 ■ Today. A. .. Maxwell, commis sioner 06 revenue In North Carolina, said any steps necscsary .to protect the state's interest would be taken and added, "I think the will was executed In New York probably for the reason that a minor could not make a legal will in North Caro lina and could under the New York statute." I •'But whether he was a resident j of North Carolina or New York is, a question of fact and in my opin ion facts will sustain his residence in North Carolina," Maxwell said. Large Sum Involved/ The inheritance taxes collected by the State of New York, at the pres ent rate of taxation, would amount to approximately $1,900,000 on Reynolds' estate. Under law of that state, the sur rogate is the taxing officer and levies the tax. which Is collected by the department of taxation and fi nance. This department said today it had "not officially learned" of Reynolds’ death. What the Inheritance tax will be has been variously estimated in North Carolina and depends on whet laws govern final disposition of the estate. Holman In State. Today, Alfred Holman, father of Libby Holman Reynolds, widow of young Reynolds, who is under joint indictment with Albert Walker on a charge of murder in Reynolds’ death, passed through Winston Salem en route to Florida and.con ferred with attorneys for his daugh ter. He refused any „ statements re garding the case, but said Mrs. Reynolds was getting Along “nicely under the constant care of physic ians” in anticipation of the birth of a baby. Holman s%id he was going to Florida on business.
