WASHINGTON NEWS
By William P. Helm, Jr..
Washington Correspondent of the
Aspermont Star.
Washington. —Governor Smith
must speed up his campaign during
the next few weeks if he is to win the
election. \'ot only must he hold all
the States where he is now the strong
er, but he must add, apparently, lil
electoral votes to those already veer-
ing to him, if he is to obtain 2G6 votes
or a majority, in the electoral college.
Herbert Hoover needs to hold all
the States which are now inclined to
honor him with their votes and,in ad-
it Ion, must win eie'ht more electoral
votes from seemingly doubtful terri-
i oi y Ihe is to he the victor.
Twenty-two States, at the mo-
ment, seems inclined to lloover; 17
to Smith, and nine appear to be in
doubt. Such is the result of an impar-
tial eanvass 'made by your correspond-
ent. For what it mav be worth, as
this writer's opinion, the tabulation
presented below is given as one news-
man's idea of the way the political
winds are blowing today, a month
from the ballot box.
It is not intended as a didactic
.-bowing. It does not attempt to give
the certainties—nobody who knows
the game could say certainly that any
one of a dozen or more hotly contest
ed Slate - would go either to Hoover
or Smith. It does represent an hon-
i . ' opinion of the situation today,
it repres' nts conditions as this writer
sees them and is given here for just
. nod nothing more.
th.. Sfit-s which seem to
. .is r sure for Hoover or inclined
;,i . i fiii* him "today, together with
strength in the electoral college:
Alabama 12

Colorado 6

Please bear in mind that I do not
say all these States will surely vote
for Hoover. Some of them will, be-
yond question. California, Kansas,
Vermont, Maine and others come with
in that classification. But there is
not a State in the list where, in my
opinion, the sentiment at the present
time is not stronger for Hoover than
for Smith. It may change here ami
there before election.
On that basis, it seems to me that
the following States are either cer-
tain for Smith or that Smith senti-
ment in them is stronger at the mo-
ment than Hoover sentiment:
Arizona 3
Arkansas
Louisiana
Maryland
Minnesota
Mississippi
Missouri
Montana

In some of these States sentiment
appears to be shifting fairly fast.
Notable Is New Jersey where the
Smith tide seems definitely ebbing.
Six weeks ago, the State was
Smith's overwhelmingly. Today it is
close to doubtful. In Nebraska, on
the other hand, Smith sentiment seems
to be gaining. He is stronger now
than he was two weeks ago, in my
opinion.
New ^ ork is included in the list, i ditions fairly accurately
It seems today extremely close, but of the battle.

the other.
In the list of Hoover States, a some
what similar situation exists with re-
spect to Illinois. Smith is gaining
in Illinois, if he continues to gain in
the next three weeks a fast as he
appears to have gained in the last
three, Illinois will be doubtful.
Something of a backwash is seeping
into North Carolina, as well. Hoo-
ver's problem, in the main, is to hold
what he has and strike a lick for one
more big State, Massachus 4t , for
instance, to put him over.
There are decidely weak factoi in
both lists. Take Alabama, in tie-

If Smith could carry all these
States and hold to the 17 now appa
ently favoring him, he would be ei.
ed. His electoral vote then w< ,

this, for in some of the -o-ca!h a

Smith's opportunity lies in tii 1
lion of prying loose some of the wa.. -
bly States from the Hoover eo|u
listed above. And that is what he ap-
pears to be attempting.
To sum up: Hoover has the e .
today, but Smith could win by a
strenuous, uphill fight. It will have to
he a much more effective f'h lit, how-
ever, than has yet been made in his
behalf. The Wall Street odds of a to 1

Commerce, Shamrock, Texas, visited

W. H. Link looses Barn by Fire.
On Friday, Oct. 5, late in the after
noon, the large barn owned by Mr. W.
H. Link was discovered to be on fire.
The day had been a very warm one
some new hay had been stored and it
is thought to be cause of the confla-
gation. Mr. Link and daughter,
Kmilyn had gone to Stamford to visit
with Mrs. Link who had been in the
Sanitarium for the past two weeks.
The fire was under such headway
before being discovered that it was
itnpe.- -ible to do anything except save
near by buildings. The volunteer fire
band worked heroically in that respect
The barn was partially covered by
insurance.
Rev. C. A. Baskin of Abilene has
accepted the call to the pastorate of
the Baptist Church at this place.

mended as pastor and preacher. He
will move on the field this week. We
are glad to welcome this pastor and
familv to our town.
