Smith has opened his final drive for the presidency by hitting back at Herbert Hoever, who, he res, | has described the Democratic theory , of public ownership and public de-‘ velopment as “state socialism” and at the same time used words ‘to con- ceal rather than convey a meaning.” Before a shouting audience that packed every foot of the Boston arena last night, the Democratic presidential nominee took issue with the utterances of his rival on the questions of water power, farm re- lief and prokibitibn and declared the time had come when the need of the nation was leadership. Today, the nominee turned his face toward New York where he will ar- rive long after night fall after stops in Rhode Island and Connecticut. Eyes Fill With Tears The governor was introduced to the gathering. which filled every one of the 10,000 or more seats and packed all available spats in the aisles and corners, by Mrs. Francis Wilson Sayre, daughter of Woodrow Wilson, and tears came to his eyes when she referred to him as the man of whom her father once had P “I believe he feels in an unus! degree the impulses and compulr of the nation’s and the worl? fairs.” After wiping his eyes, th, dard bearer of the pa . twice lead to victory tl dj daughter of the last Democrat in the White House for her intr: tion, and took as the text of his dress a quotation from Hert Hoover’s acceptance speech. “We shall use words to convey o| meaning, not to hide it,” the De: ocrat read. : Finally Breaks Silence He said his rival had uttered taese words in A it but it was not un- til last Monday night at Madisou Square Garden in New York cit; that Mr. Hoover had “let the cat ou: of the bag.” In that ‘speech, nominee added his rival had referred to the Democratic theory as cne o: “state socialism.” “Well, how do the members of congress feel who voted for the de- velopment of Muscle Shoals by the government?” he asked amid laugh- ter and applause. Referring to prohibition the gov- ernor said: “If my plan is socialist- ic, then the present legging and hijacking and racketeering that is going on is anarchy.” Enumerates Comrades The governor said he had been called a socialist before and if his id | views on water power development were socialistic then former dent Roosevelt, Evans Hughes, Owen D.
