Governor Smith was resting up tonight for an intensive drive to be made in the north Atlantic seaboard states during the last ten days preceding election. He will open his final drive in Boston on Wednesday night. The Democratic nominee returned here shortly after noon today. He said he was looking forward to a quiet stay in the city and hoped to find time to Inspect the menagerie of pet animals he has in the backyard of the executive mansion "and take the dogs out." On his way here from Utlca, where a stop was made to attend church, the nominee at a conference with press correspondents in the elub car of the special train expressed satisfaction over his trip, which carried him through a part of the "solid south," the border states and the midwest. He said he believed in a candidate's personally carrying his issues to the people and that In his opinion the value of this was demonstrated by the "number of telegrams, and the number of letters that we get in re sponse." He also said if he were elect ed president he proposed at times to leave the White House to visit other parts of the country. Hoover Declared A boot Standard Republican Type.

Parker Gilbert, agent general for reparations, is strongly intimated In circles, close to the French government. Growing belief that the United States would refuse to aid in floating the German bonds necessary under the proposed revision of the Dawes plan unless the Mellon Berenger accord was ratified is said to exert much Influence in framing the French financial policy for the immediate future. It is also pointed out in governmental and financial circles that as Prance now is meeting her war debt payments to both America and Great Britain with perfect regularity, ratification of the accords Is only a logical step. An additional argument in favor of ratification of the accord advanced by government supporters is that next August Prance must pay $400,000,000 for the Ameri can army stocks left after the world war. This debt is now bearing 6 per cent interest, whereas if the Mellon- Berenger accord was ratified it would be consolidated in the general war debt and the interest rate would be reduced to 2 per cent.

C Oct. 21 The Literary Digest poll, if accepted as an accurate barometer, indicates that Hoover will get 63 per cent of the popular vote. Divide this indication in two; first, that Hoover will win, and, second, that he will get 63 per cent. The first deduction, that Hoover will win, is borne out as of today by every other straw vote or similar index. It agrees with the Judgment as of today of practically all observers and politicians, includpoliticians. ing most Democratic The second deduction, that Hoover will get 63 per cent of the total vote, is supported to an approximate de gree by some other Indexes. It Is supported notably by the September election In Maine, which, if interpreted properly, seemed to show that Hoover would get about 60 per cent of the popular vote. The deduction that Hoover will get 63 per cent of the total is so sensational as to call for examination. It has been examined by one of the country's foremost statisticians, Professor Irving Fisher, of Yale, a Hoover partisan. He accepts the conclusion of the Digest indication as "inevitable." The Digest poll has also been examined by another Dr. Fabian scholar, Franklin, former teacher of mathematics at Johns Hopkins. Finds Old Digest Polls Fallible. Professor Franklin is a partisan ol Smith. He finds flaws in the poll. Dr. Franklin's criticism, however has comparatively little bearing on what is here discussed. Dr. Franklin finds that as to various Individual states the preceding Digest poll of 1934 was fallible, and concludes It may again be fallible this year as to individual states. This point means little. Any straw vote of the nation may be wrong as to some states. It is putting far too much strain on any straw vote to test Its accuaacy in each one of the forty eight states.
