PRESIDENTAL RACE FINE FOR
AL
OGDEN, Utah, Oct. 6. (JP)—Follow
ing an enthusiastic launching of the
; A1 Smith for president boom in the
West, is became evident that Smith’s
stock was due for a rise in the Inter
Mountain-Pacific states which were
cast loose by the withdrawal of Wil
liam McAdoo from the race. A1 Smith
seems to be the only Democrat men
| .ioned in these districts, and eveu
leaders who are most bitterly opposed
to Smith’s candidacy, admit sentiment.
Hughes would mean a sweeping vic
tory for Democrats, since a heavy vote
would be polled in Republican strong
holds.
