NEW JERSEY DEMOCRATS JAM RESORT TO CHEER SMITH

THOUSANDS JOIN IN HUGE BALLY FOR CANDIDATE Welcomed at Seaside Town After Triumphal Ride Through State. NO SPEECH SCHEDULED Came for Rest and to Talk Over Campaign With Leaders. .... BY THOMAS L. STOKES .... United Press Staff Correspondent SPRING LAKE, N. J„ Aug. 25. Governor Alfred E. Smith will face today probably the largest crowd of his political career, a host of New Jersey Democrats who have come here by train and automobile to participate in a mammoth rally for the Democratic nominee. He got a foretaste of what is expected today in his motor trip from New York to this seaside resort. Crowd’s lined the streets of northern New Jersey’s industrial cities and cheered him lustily as he passed through Friday afternoon. The Democratic candidate was pleased highly with the enthusiastic reception, which he acknowledged by bowing and doffing his hat, frequently waving both hands and it gave him hopes of considerable strength in this doubtful State which Democratic leaders will make every effort to swing into their column in November. 50,000 to 150,000 Expected Estimates of the probable crowd which will gather here today range from 50,000 to 150,000. The Governor’s program calls for luncheon at the National Guard camp, an inspection, an da review of New Jersey’s State troops. The nominee has announced he would make no speech. However, the temptation may be too great for him and he may talk to the throngs. Smith is learning on this trip what he may expect in the campaign. The continual spotlight It is the first trip since his nomination in which he really has showed himself to the people. He has left New York City onl ytwice since he was made the candidate at Houston—for the funeral of George Brennan, Illinois political leader, and for the funeral of the son of Chairman John J. Raskob of the Democratic national committee. State Is Wet He came into this State as the official candidate of the party, arriving here with, his acceptance speech still fresh in the minds of the people here. New Jersey is wet. The Democrats count upon the antiprohibition sentiment to carry the State. Smith will ditcuss the situation with State Democratic leaders, Senator Edwards, Mayor Hague of Jersey City and others. He cam§ here, primarily, for a little rest and relaxation, but he found out as soon as he left New York that he would have little time to himself. After bowing and smiling to thousands in his motor trip here, he found a large crowd gathered at the hotel awaiting his arrival. He tried to slip away from the packed hotel ballroom for a few minutes, but he was followed. A crowd applauded

MSN, 155, LAYS CLAIM TO TITLE French Peasant Outlives Youngest Son, 103. By United Press PARIS, Aug. 25.—Three years older than the United States, Tadija Moustasitch, who lives at Polog, near Lake Mostar, in Herzegovina, is probably the oldest living human in the world. He recently celebrated his 155th birthday. Tadija, now a retired peasant with enough descendants to fill a small city, was born in 1773, the same year that certain enthusiastic residents of Boston dumped a well-known cargo of tea into Boston harbor. Tadija doesn’t remember much of the early history of the struggling American republic; in fact, he doesn’t know much of its history at all, but he does remember of having responded, in 1804, to the appeal of the great national hero of Serbia, Karageorge, to fight to free his land from the Turks. His age does not worry him, for in Tadija’s family centenarians are fairly common. Not long ago the youngest of his sons died at the age of 103. Tadia still labors a bit in his garden, but he has not really worked for eight-five years. He has never been seriously ill, drinks but little alcohol, does not smoke and eats in moderation. He lost his teeth so long ago that he does remember having had any. How about beautifying your farm by replacing your broken gates. See tiie bargain offered in the Miscellaneous For Sale Want Ads.
