Smith has declared his stormy and tempestuous political career at an end--just short of its highest goal. He announced he had fought his last 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. "I certainly do mot expect ever to run for public office again,' he said. "I have had all I can stand of it. I 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, but as far as running for office again is concern- ed--that's finished." The Covernor made this state- ment at a press conference in his suite at the Biltmore Hotel, during the day in reply to a question by one 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, "I have nothing but pleasant mem- ories 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 Presi- dency than 1 did." "Who Was That Man?" "Who was that man, Governor? a correspondent inquired. '"'Herbert Hoover," he shot back with a smile, "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 min- utes," he answered. It arrived shortly and read: "The American people have ren- dered their decision, 1 am a De- mocrat, and I firmly believe in the rule of the majority, "lI 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. 1 am happy and content, taking. my place as a high private in the ranks of Am- erican citizens." "I have a heart full of gratitude to all the people who worked so untiring to promote my candidacy and to all those who cast their bal- lots for me." wal" on afterwards Has a Job Chicago, Nov. 8.--Gov. Alfred E. Smith, who announced he would never again run for public office following his defeat for the Presi- dency by Herbert Hoover, still has a job if he wants it. George F. Getz, Chicago busi- ness man, who employed Gov, Smith in 1921 as an official of the United States Trucking Corpora- tion after the Governor had begn defeated for chief executive of New York, said: 'Just say that "Al" Smith can have a job as good as the one he had with me any time," sald Getz.
