VICE-PRESIDENT NOMINEES CAST BALLOTS, REST Robinson Given Ovation in Little Rock; Curtis Speaks at Hon e. Be l. nited Pri gs LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Nov. 6. Senator Joseph T. Robinson, Democratic nominee for vice-president, drew a breath of relief today and, with Mrs. Robinson, went to the polls to vote his choice for President and Vice-President. Fatigued by his 25,000-mile tour in thirty states, Robinson came home to Little Rock last night, received the greatest ovation of his career, and retired for some muchneeded rest. Tonight the nominee will hear by radio whether he has been elected to perside over the legislative chamber of which he is a member. For fifteen minutes last night, crowds cheered Senator Robinson when he stepped on to the speakers’ platform. The farm problem was the principal topic of his final speech. “The farmer faces the prospect of higher prices with Smith or lower prices with Hoover,’’ he concluded. Curtis Casts Ballot Bn United Press TOPEKA, Kas., Nov. 6.—Senator Charles Curtis, aspirant to the vicepresidency of the United States, went to the polls here today and voted a straight Republican ticket, just as he has done for thirty years. This year, however, he voted for himself for Vice-President instead of senator or congressman. As has been his custom since the election in 1892, when he was named congressman for the first time, Senator Curtis closed his campaign in his home town. Before an audience of his friends and neighbors, Curtis last night reviewed the issues of the campaign and criticized the stand taken on them by Governor Smith. He dwelled at length on the eighteenth amendment here in the state where prohibition has been on the statute books since the 80’s. “Strict enforcement of the law while it is the law, always has been my creed,” Curtis said.
