He stands for every fundamental principle of the party. If there has ever heen a candidate since Jefferson whose principles and official conduct more completely har monized with the basic doc trines of the Democracy, I do not know who he wag. Certain ly those who caM themselves “Hoover Democrats” have shown (by ithe reasons they as sign for opposing Smith) that they do not subsecribe to the tenets of the party and are not entitled to wear its name. They prose™ to be against Smith for one or more of the following reasons: First, they are for National Prohibition as it now exists without alteratiopn or amend ment. Second, they are against Smith because he is a Catholic. Third, they are against him because they do not like Tam many Hall and fear it will dominate Smith. The Democratic party hag never advocated the epactment of Natignal Prohibition, On the contrary it has, throughout its history, peen the recogni zed champion of the doctrine of state-rights. It has held to the theory that the people of each state know best how to regulate their own domestic concerns. If the majority of the people of Gegrgia want prohibition for Georgia, that is good Democratic doctrine. If the people of Georgia want to force prohibition on New York against the will of the New Yorkers, that is not good Democratic doctrine, ~The founder of the Demo cratic party wrote into the Constituton the provisipn guaranteeing religious {ree dom, and not a single states man of the party has since sought to repudiate it. The Democratic party has always had a large membership among Catholies, It has welcome(d their a‘d in electing its candid ates for President. Lt has honored them by placing mem bers of their faith in every office (save the Presidency) from Chief Jugtice to the United States, down. The party has fought bigotry from the days of Jefferson, through the periods which brought forth the Know Nothing party and the |A. P. A. to this pres ent campaign, It will no doubt continue to fight it wherever and whenever it shows its head. . Tammany is a Democratic political organization. It has been a loyal and consistent friend of the South. It is now admittedly the cleanest polit. ical organization that controls any of the larger cities of the United States. Ip its long his. tory of over one hundred and forty years it has at times been “corrupt. But Democrats do not forget that when it was headed by the notorious Tweed, its corruption was ex posed by a Democratic news. paper and Tweed was prose- cuted and convicted by a Tam many sachem, Samuel J, Til des. (Did Republicans ex pose Fall and Doheny? Have they; met the fate of Tweed?) The “Hoover Democrats”’ avow that Tammany refused to sup port Cox and Davis. Cox and Davis testify that they had Tammany's loyal Support, and certainly Al Smith made many campaign speeches for them bhoth, But, it may be added, McAdoo, whom the Hooverites groafly admire, did not sup port Davis but went to Eu rope and sulked. But whether Tammany be good or bad it does not control Smith. If Tammany could control Smith he would now have the support of the Hoover Democrat” Hearst; for Smith defied and defeated Tammany when it sought to nominate Hearst for the senate, No man or set of men controls Sm'th, and all who know him, if thew he honest, will say so.

The problem is be ginning to worry the French police Zov it is estimated that millions of france worth of tobacco have been smugglsd into France duringg the past {wo years, [ In Belgium, a kilogramme of to bacco can’ be bought in the open lmarket for less than ten francs. In France, it is worth between six and seven times as much, but as the law aguninst contraband car ries heavy penalties for anyone found selling ‘the smuggled weed in France, the “baccy runner” is us ually willing to be satisfied with ‘n profit of only 200 or 300 per lcent, The fact that there have bheen few urrests has convinced the bor der police that there is a highly organized band behind the smug gling.

HOOVER GETS BAD NEWG FROM WHEAT BELT FARMERS WASHINGTON — (UP) — Po litical trouble in the northwest wheat belt was reported to Her bert Hoover Saturday by a dele gation of Republean leaders from North Dakota. The group, headed by Senator Gerald T. Nye, told the Republ cen presidential nominee that his farmers still were smarting under what they felt was a rebuke ad ministered them in the Republican convention. Nye and the others said they thought the situation could bhe straightened out by elec tion if farmers could be convinced they “should not support Tam many.” ' At the same time, the candidate received assurances from Senator Capper, of Kansas, that the same situaton does not hold true in the corn belt. Capper said there was little unrest in his area. The report gave the candidate the first insight he has had as to the attitude of the farmers since he left his Towa farm conference at Cedar Rapids three weeks ago te set up headquarters in Wash ington, L e | Established 1332, i B e ATHENS, GA., SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1928, 0L STUDENTS T COME 0 GEORGIA Tl WEEK; CLASS WORK STARTS ALSO Upperclassmen tegin to regi:;-I ter a2t the University of Georgiaf Monday, and will continue to do g 0 through Wednescay. <lass work @egins Thursday.

It was not infrequent for sororities to buy whole blocks of seats. “Now we are met with the ob jection,” Brewer continued, “that the boy friend will stand the tax.

GERMANY MAY HAVE VOTE ON NAVAL VESSELS " BERLIN,—(UP)—TFanned dili gently by the Communisgt press and Communist speakers, the movement for a referandum on the battle cryiser question is growing here. There is now every indica tion that before the end of the year the electorate will be called upon to decide whether or not Germany should build “battle cruiger, cruis ers or any other vessels of war.” This formulation represents a gsignificant widening of the issue of the battle cruiser which lately caused such an uproar in the po litical arena here. The construc tion of the cruisger, it will be re called, was tentatively approved by the last Reichgtag and some weeks ago finally sapctioned by the pres ent cabinet. The Socialist mem bers of the cabinet thereby incur red the criticism of the Sodialist rank and file whoge radical wing demanded their immediate regignation. But though the Sgcialist lead ers succeeded in momentarily. pla. cating the indignation of their followers, they could not prevent the Communists from seizing upon the wdlcome ijggue. The original Communist plan to restrict the referendum to the question of the one disputed battle cruiser, was, however, found to be impracticable because the cruiger appropriation ig part of the budget on which only the president may order a referendum. Therefore the Communists adopt. ed the new formula which, they (Turn to Page Eight) ‘ l R. 8.

Raskob, Democratic national chair man, Saturday, issued a statement disputing the charge made by Dr. Hubert Work, Renublican Nation~ al chairman, that Senator Robin son, Democratic vice presidential Yominee, was “flagrantly mislead igg his hearers” in quoting from pover’s eorrespondence. ‘ Senator Robinson, in a speech at Charlotte, N. C., had charged that Hoover “had used his best cerpts from Hoover's“eorrespon dence. “Boiled down to essentials,” Rickoh said, “the facts” were that the- signing of the armistice ‘brought “instant release” of gov crnmental control of industry, but that agriculture “still remain ed fast in Hoover's grin.” “Dr. Work,” Raskc said, “says Hoover wanted to retain control to keep farm prices up. Senator Robinson cited Hoover’s own words to show he wanted to keep ferm prices down. The correspon dence referred to-in its entirety completely refutes Dr. Work and supports Senator Robinsen.” Reca'ling the circumstances in which government control of pcrk -prices was released after the war “over Hoover’s violent pro test,” Raskob quoted a cable gram frem Hoover to his associ ates in the United States grain ccrporation and the federa! food administration as saying “Unless some superior force intervenes, we intend to hold the price of wheat to the figure at which it has stood duvring the entive war under con gressional guarantee.” CHINESE LEADER SEEKS TO TRIM MARITAL COSTS ] SHANGHAI — (UP) — A blow ‘at high-priced marriages in Chi na has Been struck by the Nation alist Minister of the Interior Hsieh Tu-pi, who has issued instructions governing marriages by his civil commissioners throughout China.
