FATE OF SMITH WILL HINGE ON MID-WEST VOTE States Beyond Mississippi Will Decide Election, Experts Admit. BY RAY TUCKER Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON.Oct.I6—With the election less than a month away, Republican and Democratic leaders agree that the battle will be won or lost in the states beyond the Mississippi. The spotlight definitely has shifted from the northeast, where it had been expected the fighting would be most decisive, to territory supposedly ' discontented with the present administration.’s farm policies. The farmers fill the eyes of Herbert Hoover and his advisers as they study charts which may spell victory or defeat on Nov. 6. Though Governor Smith has made his great bid to voters of the west, the outcome in normally Republican strongholds of the west will have a- more decisive effect on his chances than on Hoover’s. Though the Republicans expect to carry some of the large industrial states in the east, the G. O. P. figures it can lose them and still win if it repulses Smith’s Western thrust. Still Needs Votes And the Democrats realize that, even though Smith carries the Solid South and all the seven seaboard states listed as doubtful, he still will need forty-two electoral votes to be gained beyond the Mississippi. Thus the Republican party, accused by discontented farmers of being too friendly to industry and neglectful of agriculture, looks to the farm States for salvation. Reports to Republican headquarters speak optimistically of conditions in the West. Smith is conceded a fighting chance in only three States Wisconsin, Montana and Nebraska—and in the latter only if Senator Norris espouses his candidacy. G. O. P. leaders are praying that

won’t happen, and, meanwhile, working to hold Nebraska’s large German vote from bolting to the Democratic nominee on the twin issues of religion and prohibition. Reports Conflict Greatly With Smith getting 114 electoral votes in the solid South and 100 from Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland, he still would be far from the White House on this basis. And that summary gives the New York Governor all his fondest supporters claim for him in the East. Democratic information concerning western sentiment differs from G. O. P. reports as night from day. Their reports give Smith, the advantage in Minnesota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Nevada, Montana, Colorado and Oklahoma. Included in Democratic estimates are Tennessee an Wisconsin, but the G. O. P. laughs at claims of the border States. These western and border States have a total of seventy-three electoral votes more than enough to elect Smith if he has any luck in the East and South. Joseph Conrad, who was a native of Poland, was past middle age before he discovered his gift for writing.

‘PEOPLE’ HEARD IN FIGHT OVER TRAINMEN PAY Representatives of Patrons Testify Before U. S. Commission. By United Press CHICAGO, Oct. 16.—The people, who ultimately will do the paying if a wage increase is granted trainmen of fifty-five western railroads, had their inning today before President Coolidge’s fact-finding commission in session here. The commission may continue hearing evidence until the last of October, after which It probably will review the testimony and then make recommendations to President Coolidge concerning a settlement in the wage dispute between the trainmen and railroads. The public was represented at the hearing today by the Chicago Association of Commerce and the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association. Members of these organizations, testifying in behalf of the railroads’ customers, were expected to say that they believed present living conditions in the west did not justify any increase in the pay of trainmen at this time. Although the representatives of the rail roads objected most strenuously to allowing a third group to enter the controversy, it was believed most of jhe “public’s” testimony would be in their favor and would be built around the claim of a “lack of necessity for any increase.” After “the public” is through giving testimony, the carriers will continue their rebuttal and .the board then is expected to take the case under advisement before making its report to President Coolidge. Rebels Killed in African Skirmish By United Press RABAT, Morocco, Oct. 16.—Nine rebels were killed and two were taken prison when French forces surrounded dissidents in West Arbala who recently attacked a postal lire.

MAKING YOUR SONGS A GO Voice Condition Must Decide Key of Song

This is the fourth, of a series of six articles written for The Times and NEA Service by Rosa Ponselle, dramatic soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Company, New York. BY ROSA PONSELLE Written for NEA Service THERE sometimes is a very great mistake made by the young singer which spoils her song’s success, and that is singing a song in a key unsuited to her voice. If a song is even a half tone too low or too high for her the difference it makes is as the difference between day and night. Os course, every song chosen by a singer should lie comfortably in her voice, that is, well within the range she sings at ease. But selecting a song in the right key above all others, calls for the very best tones in her voice. Consequently, she is heard at best advantage. There is not an experienced prima donna before the public but pays heed to this fact; when she has a cold or does riot feel in the best of voice, she takes a slightly lower key; if in brilliant condition she takes a higher one. The chief consideration is that the song should be given as well as she can give it in the circumstances. There also is another safeguard to be considered by the young singer in choosing the key of her song. Until she is thoroughly experienced in appearing in public, the top notes which she barely reaches in private will prove unreliable when singing to an audience. In the latter case, with so much to distract her attention at the moment, she should not attempt all, but less than she can do. She may, indeed, take risks and get through by chance, but she is more apt to make unfortunate tones that will be unhappily remembered by her and by her listeners. In this case the song fails to “go” because of nervousness, failure of the accompanist to support her

USED BLACK-DRAUGHT SINCE 45 YEARS AGO Former Merchant Noticed His Customers Buying It, So He Decided to Try It Himself Still Finds It Helpful. Mr. George W. Cassidy, of 254 Pine Bluff Street, Paris, Texas, head of the shipping department of a local manufacturing plant, has had long experience in the use of Thedford’s Black-Draught. “I have used Black-Draught since about forty-five years ago," says Mr. Cassidy. "I took it for indigestion and biliousness. If I felt just the least bad, I would take a dose of Black-Draught and it always has helped me. ‘‘At that time, I was keeping store, and saw other people buying BlackDraught. I found that when I took Black-Draught, it helped me, too. ‘‘When I take a laxative or purgative, I want something that I can take just a dose or two of, and then quit taking it and feel as good as ever. Black-Draught is a purgative like that. You don’t have to take it every night. I just bought a box yesterday, and after forty-five years I find it does me as much good as when I started taking it.” When you take Black-Draught, the digestive organs are helped in a healthful, natural way, and normal elimination is restored without the sickening effects that characterize the use of powerful mineral drugs.

or anxiety coming on her suddenly about those tones of which she is not sure. One such experience should put her on her guard in the future, but she does not want that experience even once. We hear a lot about “hitching your wagon to a star.” I think there is a better way of getting ahead than that. Set your limit, but not so high a one that few can reach it. When you have attained that limit, set a higher one, and so on. There is a tremendous satisfaction in going ahead like that. I did not take up singing because I wanted fame, but because I wanted to sing.
