I AM FOR
AL SfMITH
PRESIDENT
The reason for my enthu
siagtic support of Governor
Smith for the presidency are
perhaps best summarized in
the Governor’'s own words.
When aceepting his nomina
tion he said: “I am entirely
unwilling to aceept the old or
der of things us best unless
and until I Se.ome convinced
that it cannot be made better.”
I believe that Governor Smith
means every word in that sen
tence. The statement itself
characterizes nis twenty-five
years of public life.
In my mind Governor Smith
is the most outstanding sym-
Lol of progressive thought in
America today. I feel that
his election, dispelling the re
ligious ‘ugbear from politics,
should give birth to a gencral
spirit of skepticism which
would leave the average voter
less susceptib's to political
trickery and less gullible to
politica® lies. It should also
create a popular interest 4n
government, as already at
tested by the unprecedented
interest in his campaign.
This would be healthful in
deed, meaning that we wou'd
scon see a new, better, and
more. honest era in the social
and political history of our
country.
Lastly, as so aptly put by
Senator Walsh, I want to see
a human being in the White
House, a man of action who
speaks his mind without fear
of the results. an honest man.
Al Smith is all of that.
