Smith protesting in Oklahoma City against the prejudice of which he the p Mayor Walker and Senator Edwards in were engaged in the sorry business of "ing up prejudice against Mr. Hoover. They were pretending to believe, for all we know they may actually believe, that Mr. Hoover's residence abrcad somehow taints his qualifications for the office of President. The World wishes to say with all the emphasis at its command that this appeal to the narrowest and most ignorant and debased type of patriotic prejudice is contemptible, and might under certain circumstances become just as sinister, as the appeal to religious prejudice. This newspaper declared when the two candi- dates were nominated that it would fight merci- lessly agalnst Democrats who attempted to pro- scribe. Mr. Hoover on agrounds of nationalistic This newspaper meant it. 8o far as we are aware, the meeting in Newark on Thurs- day night was the first occasion, apart from a few oblique innuendoes from Senator Reed of Missouri, when Demorcatic speakers of promin- ence at meetings under the auspices of the party have attempted to exploit this prejudice against Mr. Hoover. They should be made to stop, and we call on Mr. Raskob to stop them. LT SRR 0 Utilizing Resources. Hoover on re- as (Seward Gateway.)
