is to be/expected of Senator Rivers that he will
do, the same, but up to this time he has said just
enough to get his name on the ticket.
Democracy has'the right to demand of both

in all places, and jarge their followers to give

that it is their duty as Democrats to support A1
Smith. He is their educator and lecturer and it
is to bey presumed that they will follow his advice.
It is currently 1 reported that certain selfish
politicians are attempting to organize the Klan
for the Republican Hoover and that they are
claiming success.
Senator Rivers can, and should use his influ

Smith. He should at once as a candidate for
Governor Undo what he did as Lecturer to the

tiring ordeal. His decision to
speak more or less extemporan

candidate will have his speeches
inrefully outlined, but will deliver
them from notes. He is most ef

has conducted state campaigns in
this manner.
“When I speak, I put everything
I have into it,” Smith said.
