There are many reasons,
other than being tho Demo,
cratic Nominee, why we
should vote for Governor Al
fred Smith. Our vote should
be cast for him, particularly
on account of his stand on
fnrpi, relief and conservation
of our natural resources.
Water powet from which is
developed electricity is today
our greatest resource. - Ex-,
crasdlngljr high rates that art
now being charged make it
practically a luxury, where as,
if it were under Government
control the rates would bo
greatly redqyeo, both in city
and/orntiy. tUrp r'ectiicitjs .

, it would give them, would
open np a now life. Wc can
visualise the farm woman be

work by the prrrsuro of a but-
1 ton, swetping, dishwashing,
1 cooking, - milking, laundering
j and a world of othor things
that can it dona by this won
derful genii, but this can come
only thru cheaper rates and
cheaper rates will only come
by govommfnt control of our
water power.

This can bo done by voting

Speaking to an enthusiastic
gathering he mode a powerful op
's! to tho voters to nmain true
to the party of their fathon and
to tho traditions of thoir state.
“The highest test of a mans po
litical faith is in his support qf
tho nominees of his party,” do-
dared the. speaker.
As a glaring example of politi
cal treachery he cited the case
of Mrs. Marvin Williams, who was
sent to Houston os Democratic del
ecate to nominate Senator George.
Her name Is now on the Repub
lican ticket as a candidate for
an electoral position.
Dwelling on religion, as the
most important isade of this cam
paign the speaker pleaded foi
religious tolerance asking that
narrow mindod bigotry bo ex
changed for a more fair attitude.
"In a land where there are 101
ml'llon Protestant and 14 million
Cathcllca, there is no danger of
Catholics domination'’ declared
Bell. /

prejudiced treatment of alt, de
