I AM FOR
AL SMITH
PRESI,IIIENT
. Of course, I am for Al
i Smith. Why shouldn’t I be,
and every other real demo
ctrat. There is an old saying
that opportunity knocks onee
at the door of every one. It is
. mow knocking at the door of
democrats, and if they fail to
heed it, it svells their doom.
In my lifetime—other than
Woodrow Wilson—:iiere nas
~ mever Leen so outstanding a
character offering - for the
presidential nomination.
His refusal to accept the
nomination wirhout clearly
stating his poesition should
make him thousands of repub
lican votes and al! democratic
ones. His candor and honesty
is refreshing and should ‘e
appreciated.
AS to prohibition and the
Kightenth Amendment being
an issue in this presidential
election is mere camouflage,
and given no serious consid
. eration by any serious minded
veter., If these notoriety
seeking, fanatica! bishops and
preachers would gome clean
and say that religious intoler
ance is the cause of their la
mentations, then some consid
eration might be given to
their ravings. Should the Re
publican Campaign Commit
tee decide to send mno cam
paign fund to the South, in
my opinion the righteous
cause will die Ibernine, (apol
ogies to Willie Doodlebug Up
shaw.)
Democrats of the South
think for yourse!f and let no
K. K. K. paid satalite tell you
what the Catholics will do to
this nation if Al 'Smith is
_ elected, nor what the oath of
al'egiance to the Knights of
Colombus is, they don’t know
-~ and wouldn’t tell you if they
did. Be men not mice!

“HYPOCRISY™ (F
ANTI-SMITH “DRYS”
MACON — (U P) — Former
United States Senatn [bomas W.
Hardwick, stumping (ieorgia in
Leralf of the Democratic national
ticket, said in a speecn Thursday
night that “more infernal hypocri
sy is mixed up in (k¢ prohibition
issue than anything else I have
heard.”
The “nigger in the woodpile” in
the opposition to Governor Alfred
E. Bmith is the “bigotry and reli
gious intolerance in the crucifix
ion of Alfred E. Smith iz because
he is a Catholic,” Hardwick said.
In referring to activities of
some clergymen against the Dem
ocratic presidential candidate,
Hardwick said, “if yoa ever let the
ministry get mixed up in .the na
tion’s politics they will also lead
you to Wigotry and persecution.”
He recalled -‘Tammany as “the
sole ally of the South,” in re-con
struction days.

“Whispering” Campaign Worries Hoover Camp
FEAR SMITH DAY
BECOME MARTYR T 0

HE'S SLANDERED. TONO
BY PAUL R. MALLON |
United Press Staff (L‘orrespond:entl
WASHINGTON~
H o o ver headquarters:
here are worried about,
the “whispering cam
paign” which appears to
be gaining the mementum
of a snowhall roll‘ing,‘
downhill. ,
Repeated efforts to quash sland
erous assertons abon{ both candid
ates have thus far been unsuccess- |
ful. Meantime some Republicans |
foregee the posgibility that the
democrats may attempt to set up
Governor Smith, the democratic
nominee as a martyr to gossip. l
Hubert Work, chairman of the |
Republican national comm’ttee.l
issued a statement [ast Sunday |
denouncing the slander campaign,l
byt the whispering has persisted.
Senator Reed Smoot, Republican
Utah, issued a statement Thursday
‘n which he said, “Governor”, ad
dressing Smith, “the way to mar
tyrdom is not via ‘what Mrs. Jones l
says to Mrs. Brown.’” He coun
sels Smith to avoid what he terms
“clothesline controversies”.
. There always haye heen *“whis.
‘pers” circulated in presidental
fmmr In one campa‘gn it
one candidate had negro Dol and
{hat a certain newspaper was pre
paring to print the facts.
In this campaign, however, there
have ben more whispers than
usual. Hoover warned against
such tactics in his acceptance
‘speech and public efforts have
been madeg by members of the
Republican national committee to
suppress such. Chairman Raskob
of the Democratic national com- |
snittee aplauded Work's anti-whis
pering statement. ‘
Democratic already have begun
their defense against rumors and.
Republicans believe the Democrats
.are planning to appeal to “fair
play” for their candidate.
Smoot’s statement also contain
ed .the following references to the
- whispering campaign.
“If Governor Smith desires to|
convince the /country of his ca
pacity for the presidency, he would
do well to avoid clothesline contro
versies with the ladies of the
neighborhood, despite frantic ef
forts to make what Jones says to
‘Mrs. Brown appear as an organized
whispering' campaign against him.
The voters will continue to weigh
him on his determination to revive
the liquor business.”
Hoover is known to believe there
are just as many stories in circula
tion against him as there against
Smith and that there is nothing
he personally can do about it
¢ The candidate conterred with his
vice-pregidentiaj running mate
Senator Curtis of Kansas and his;
Manager, Work, at his personall
headquarters Friday. They intend
ed to d'scuss the whispering suh-|
‘ject in conjunction with other
phases of the campaign prepara
‘tory to Curtis’ departure later Fri
day on a swing through the west.
