WHY
I AM FOR
AL SMITH
for
PRESIDENT
GREENE F. JOHNSON
I am for A1 Smith for many
reasons. Among the most
important are the following:
1. A1 Smith’s life has been
devoted to the study of*.gov
ernment and government
problems. lie has been train
ed in the best school of gov
ernment in this country, with
the exception of the Presi
dency. It is perfectly clear
;o my mind that he is much
more capable of governing
than a man who has devoted
most of his life to mining en
gineering In foreign coun
tries. Republicans as well as
Democrats recognize Smith’s
ability. Charles Evans Hughes
has said that he is the (best
posted person on government
in New York. Do you ’study
medicine to bccomo a banker?
No. Neither do you study
mining engineering to pre
pare for the Presidency. Al
Smith is a known quantity in
government; Hoover is un
known, and if his speeches, arc
a proper criterion for judg
ment, he is a minus quantity.
2. I like Smith’s sincerity
versus the insincerity of
Hoover, i I like the courage
' of Smith as reflected by his
actions and speeches versus
the timid and stradd.'ing tac
tics of Hoover, who seems to
be afraid of his shadow, (or
is* it the power behind the
throne)?
3. I believe that Smith will
govern for the benefit of the
gdverned rather than for* the
.benefit of these .governing, *
The last two terms of Repub
lican administration nave
been the acme of corruptyp
and have witnessed the perpe
tration of frauds^unknown to
common thieves?" The best
way to guard against thieves
is to know their tricks. Cer
tainly the Republicans have
exhibited to the country aU $
phases of thievery which
should enable the Democrats,
if given power, to prevent any
recurrence of such conditions.
To my mind that is the chief
f contribution of the Republi
can party during the last
eight years. Mr. Hoover
looks > ack with pride upon
this “admirable” record and
pledges a continuation of the
same policies. This statement
alone is enough to turn any
