Alfred E. Smith, who accused his opponents of having used vague language in setting forth their views, Speaking here within a few miles from the tomb of Andrew Jackson, one of the Democratic founders, Gov. Smith again appealed for the applica- tion of the Jeffersonian doctrine of State rights to the adminis- tration of the Nation's many af- fairs. Farm relief, migration and among the i water power, prohibition were sues touched upon in the addr of Gov. Smith at this place. The speaker was many times interrupted by cheers from the crowd that packed Ryman's Auditorium and over- flowed into the streets. He was im- frequently interrupted by shouts, | “You tell 'em AlL"” and “Give it to 'em, AL" Gov. Smith said he had aceci- dentally read a paper where Sen- ator Curtis had undertaken to reply to his Omaha speech by saying that ‘“‘tariff protection on farm products was an important means whereby to relieve the de- pression in agriculture and place the farmer in a pesition of econ- omic equality with other indus- tries,” To which Gov. Smith re- sponded, “Now the Senator has amiiamide vp - ds omind and. X8 has said that so often that he is go- ing to take a chance that finally someone will believe it.” Gov. Smith added that the Re- publicans made this promise four years ago in their party plat- form, and have done nothing about it. He declared that in his opinion Senator Curtis was the “last man in the United Stat that was in a position to defend the Republican position on the tariff as a farm measure. Next to him ably the Presidential and next to him himself, The Nashville speech was not included in the program when Gov. Smith left New York, but was added after conferences at various places enroute. The special train carrying Gov. Smith and family left here last night for Louisville, Kentucky, where a scheduled speech with a National radio hook-up will be made tonight. ——————— Coolidge and King Talk Over 6,500-Mile Circuit ASHIV(;TON Oct. 13.—Speak- is prob- candidate ing over a radio and cable circuit |51V® 6,500 miles long, President Cool- idge and King Alphonso, of Spain, today inaugurated new means of communication as a great factor in the perpetuation of friendship and peace between them.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.—Use of the pulpit for political pur- poses was strongly disapproved here by the Right Rev.

After asserting there is mno sphere of human conduct in which Christians could detach themselves from their religion, Bishop Anderson called upon the gathering not to construe that “as a plea for the intrusion of politics and economics in the pul- pits and on the platforms of the chureh.” \ A mmm Work | more important to do,” he said. “It is one thing, however, to bring party politics and economic theories into the range of church activity, It is a vastly differ- ent thing to bring the force of religious conviction and experi- ence into action in the social and political life.

SARGENT (Associated Press Staff Writer) | BOSTON, Oct. 13.—Cross cur- rents of the National Presiden- tial campaign are flowing through M achusetts and Rhode Island without leaving enough driftwood to indicate in whose direction the flood of ballots in the November election will turn. These New England States, |with 18 and four electoral votes respectively, are mnormally Re- publican. Only once, in 1912, |have they been carried E: |Democratic Presidential |date. But this year both States have been classed as ‘doubtful” by ‘hmnzu'liul observers. The Demo- crats, more confident and better organized than in most Presi dential campaigns in this terr tory, see clear sailing ahead Republicans thelr supremacy threatened for the first time in many years, discern dangers, al- though the party pilots expre belief that it will be a Hoover tide on election day. Bad Spots Republlcnn leaders, including Sen. George H. Moses of New Hampshire, director of the Hoover campalgn in the Rast, and Dr. Hubert Work, Natiohal Committee Chairman, have not hesitated to point to Massachu- )| setts and Rhode Island as “bad ]xpnts where the party workers |must not relax in their efforts. | Notwithstanding an overwhelm- {ing preponderance of Republican ,voters as indicated by the 1924 ‘returns, the Demoerats have nev- er been so hopeful ‘of carrying |both Massachusetts and Rhode Island in a Presidential election. This confidence is based not jonly on the personal popularity of Gov. Smith and the appeal which Democrats here believe the issues he has brought into the {campaign will have to voters, but also on the strength cf their own Senatorial candidates. Sen. Da- vid 1.

Mourners Are Hired To Weep for the Dead KOSSOVO, Macedonia, Oct. 13.— Moslem funerals have clung to age- old customs in the face of move- ments to westernize everything. The recent service, honoring a landed proprietor of this region, is 'an example. At the head of the party walked a motely group of ymen and women loudly shrieking lamentations.
