Re publican party officials claim that ai official count may ctoa the state t> Governor Smith Quits Now Out of Politics New York, Nov. 7.?Alfred K. Smith has declared hit* stormy and tempestuous political career at an end -?junt abort of its highest goal. He announced today he had fought his lant political battle and that from now on "as a high private in the ranks of American citizens" he would be a spectator from the sidelines. "1 certainly do not expect ever to run for public office again," he said. "I have had all I can stand of it. 1 have given a quarter of a century of probably the best years of my life to it. I will never lose my interest in public affairs?that is a sure thing. Hut us far as running for office again is concerned?that's finished." The governor made this state men v ut a press conference in his suite at the Biitmore hotel during the afternoon in reply to a question by ono of the correspondents. "You have no regrets of any kind over this campaign, have you?" was the next question asked. "None at all," he answered. "1 have nothing but pleasant memories of it. There is one thing that the figures indicate and that is that no man in- the country except one got more votes for the presidency than I did." "Who was that man, Governor?" a correspondent inquired. "Herbert Hoover," he shot back with a pmile. "Do you want to say anything about the results, Governor?" his questioners pursued. "A statement has been prepared which will be here in a few minutes," he answered. It arrived shortly afterwards and read: "The American people have rendered their decision. I am a Democrat and I firmly believe in the rule of the majority. "I have had a long career in elective public office. Yesterday was the twenty-first time that my name has appeared on the ballot in New York state. I am happy and content, taking my place as a high private in the ranks of American citizens. "I have a heart full of gratitude to all the people who worked so untiringly to promote my candidacy and to all those who cast their ballots fome." In this way he wound up his unsuccessful drive for the presidency as the standard bearer of the Democratic party, and his statement that from now on he was through marked the end of a political career unique in many respects in American politics. Now that it is over, he said he had no plans for the future after retiring as governor at the Phd of the year SXjept that "I am going to work.4" Tomorrow he expects to leave for Albany and then take a brief rest before winding up his duties as New York's chief executive.
