+ DRIVE KEYNOTE t XN NORTH DAKOTA’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER é ESTABLISHED 1878 SMITH SOUNDS AT CONVENTIOW ‘Addresses Earnest Plea to Voters to Return Demo- crats to Albany SAYS REPUBLICANS DEFY ‘Attacks Republican Leaders for Alleged Obstruction of Policies By D. HAROLD OLIVER (Associated Press Staff Writer) Rochester, N. Y., Oct. 2—(P)— With a two-fisted attack on the New York state Republican platform and an earnest plea to the voters who have elected him their chief exec- utive four times to return the Dem- ocrats to power at Albany in vindi- cation of their progressive icies, Governor Smith has sounded the keynote of a state-wide campaign that may, in the final analysis, have an important bearing in his fight | Dak for the presidency. Addressing the delegates to the Democratic state convention here last night, the Democratic presiden- tial nominee challenged statement after statement in the opposition platform adopted last week at Syra- cuse, attacked the Republican lead. ers of the state for alleged obstruc- tion of his policies, and declared “not a single constructive achieve- ment that took place in the govern- ment of this state in the last six years had Republican support until they were beaten down to the earth.” He said the attitude of the Repub- licans of the Empire State was one of defiance, that they unjustly laimed credit for reforms sponsored nd fought for by the Democrats against a hostile legislature, and that the record of progress could be continued only by the election of the candidates to come out of the con- vention here. “Irreparable injury can come to the state by any other course,” he said, “and I earnestly hope and pray that 6th of November will be a tion of -progressive Demo- cratic policies and a repudiation of Republican stand-pat, policies.” ~ With= party" responsibility’ as hts text, one upon which he based his Helena, Mont., speech, the nominee jicked at the Republican platform item by item, reviewed what he said were the “facts” as to the legis- lative accomplishments of his admin- istration, and declared “nothin, would be more regrettable than to let the record I have laid out before you tonight get the approval of the People of the biggest state in the union.” TEXAS REGENTS _ + PROBE TRAGEDY EN Greek Letter Fraternity-Sys- _ ter Seen & a ee en tem May Be Abolished Be- cause of Death Austin, Tex., Oct. 2.—()—A com- plete investigation of the Greek let- system, with a view of possible abolishment, was ordered at the University of Texas today following the death Sunday night of Nolte McElroy during his initiation into oe Delta Kappa Epsilon fra- ternity.

Hertz racing stable near Cary, Tl, in which were quartered Reigh Count, 1928 Kentucky derby winner, and 14 other thoroughbreds, was de- stroyed last night by fire of mys- terious, possibly incendiary, ori Eleven thoroughbreds, valued at more than $200,000, were burned to death. Reigh Count, who is gener- ally regarded as the premier 3-year- old, of the American track, was brought unscathed from the burning barn by a stable boy, Jimmy Allen. Anita body, an- other star of the Hertz string and ki is the 2-year-old champion of 1927, also was saved. Among the animals lost were Le- ona Ett, named for Leona Hertz and being groomed for the 1929 Ken- tucky derby; Sandal Fan, Insul Sandal Bar, St. Lucia, fillies by Black Servant, Kohnkona and Sir Galahad; and fillies out of Whisk- broom and Luanna. John D. Hertz, owner of the model stable, is chairman of the board of directors of the Yellow Cab com- pany. Two large garages of the c company were bombed Sunday ni i The fire at the Hertz farm, follow- ing within less than 24 hours of the two bombings, was seen by Chicago police as another violent gesture in the “taxi war” which flared a week ia when.a taxicab driver was shot le Cary officers found several indi- cations of incendiarism. Fire broke out simultaneously at opposite ends of the long brick barn, they said. There were indications that oil had been used to give the flames quick headway. Jimmy Allen, a stable boy; was the first to reach the barn. Through the smoke he groped his way to Reigh Count’s stall. All about him the i rung th ibreds were stomping in their fr! it. Allen placed a blindfold about Reigh Count’s vaulted to the ner to safety. Anita Peabody was stabled in an- other building, but was brought from her stall as flames from: the main stable endangered other structures on the farm.

Speak in Boston Oct. 15, New York Oct. 22 WILL BE BROADCAST Tariff, Business Conditions and Industrial Trade Are New England Themes By JAMES L. WEST (Associated Press Staff Writer) Washington, Oct. 2.— (>) — Her- bert Hoover will speak in Boston, October 15, and in New York City, October 22, instead of October 13 as| ¥ originally planned. e Boston speech will be deliv- ered in Mechanics hall at 8 o'clock eastern standard time, while that in New York will be in Madison Square Garden at the same hour. Both speeches will be broadcast over a nation wide hookup. Besides these two addresses in the east Hoover probably will make an- other October 28, at some place yet to be selected, before he leaves for California to vote November 6. The Republican presidential can- didate also will deliver two speec! next Saturday, one at Elizabethton, Tenn., and the other at the soldiers home on the outskirts of Johnson City, Tenn, i! Tariff is to form the keynote o! Herbert Hoover's address in indus- trial New England the latter part of this month. He now is gathering the material for this as well the other epeeches he is to make in the east and the west before his final appeal to the voters over the radio from his California home on elec- tion eve, November 5. Business conditions and industrial trade wjll form themes in the New York City speech on the night of October 13, but the Republican pres- idential candidate had not yet defi- nitely decided upon the topic of his seventh major a ‘dress to be deliv- ered in some wes‘ern city during his journey to Stanford university where he will cast his ballot.

On his engagement list today was C. Bascom Glemp, tional committeeman for Virginia, who is in charge of the campaign in the old dominion. Undoubtedly the recent letter which was,sent out over the signa- ture of Mrs. Willie W. Caldwell, na- tional committee woman for Vir- ginia, calling upon the women to save the country from being “Romanized” will form one subject matter for discussion between ‘Hoover and Slemp. Scarcely Hoover finished repudiating that letter before another indicent of the same kind cropped up in another southern state. THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE | Will He Succeed Al? | Franklin D.

Y., Oct. 2.—(P)— The clouds of uncertainty that have hung over the Democratic State con- vention were dispelled today with the result that the final session today meant nothing more than a ratifica- tion meeting for Franklin D. Roose- velt as the nominee for governor. ’ Decision of the party leaders to name the former assistant secretary of the navy, candidate for the vice fpresidency in 1920, was made carly © today after the third of a series of conferences with Governor Smith. The delegates had been holding cif on the man to head the ticket, in deference to the governor's wishes. While he had frequently said the convention would be an open one and that he would not pick the can- didate, the leaders did not feel like | going ahead until they had consult- ed with him, Selection of Mr. Roosevelt came something as a surprise, for only yesterday, shortly after he had ar- rived here from Governor Smith made public a tele- gram from saying that he could not run on account of his health. Mr. Roosevelt had been seged man; times to enter the race but eaci time he refused. He has been suf- fering from infantile paralysis for several years and is at present in the south for the benefit of his health. There has been a warm attach- ment between the governor and Mr. Roosevelt for many years. It was Roosevelt who nominated Smith for the speseiency, at Madison Square Garden and at Houston. , The announcement of his selec- tion was made about one o'clock this morning. The governor, after his he suite at the Hotel Senec: ird of a series of conf Bray of Utica, the new state chair- man, came from the conference room and said: “There seems to be a unanimous demand from the delegates to this convention for Mr. Roosevelt.” , He did not directly answer a ques- tion as to whether Mr. Roosevelt would consent to make the run, say- ing that this point would be cleared up at the convention, ‘BUCKY’ HARRIS LOSES POSITION Wash:
