The bulletin quotes Senator Nor- ris as having been convinced of the greatness of Al Smith. Under the terms of the deal, the democratic party withdrew its local candidates from the race in Wiscon- sin in return for which the so-called progressives agreed to vote for Al Smith in final betrayal of all their previously proclaimed principles. Al Smith Hails ‘Great’ Columbus;Mean Critics Hint Ulterior Motives Alfred E. Smith, in a message which he said he was asked to send to the Italian people (read “voters”), yesterday hailed the “great” Christopher Columbus, well- known Italian explorer who several hundred years ago discovered Amer- ica and whose birthday was yester- day commemorated. The message read, in part: Headquarters Legislative consin, the virtual made. “Columbus day is merely symbolic | of wha. the Italians have meant to our country, They have given to America its discoverer, and follow- ing him have come an army of men and women cf Italian blood to de- velop the land on which the great Columbus first set foot.” Unkind critics pointed out that last year both Smith and Hoover forgot entirely who discovered America, A number of years ago, when the movement to make Colum- bus day a legal holiday first was launched, Al Smith, then in the state legislature, is reported to have asked: “What ward does this here ‘wop’ Columbus control?” Yesterday’s message by the Tam- many governor is said to have been written by Judge Francis X. Man- cuso of the general sessions court, | one of the chief Tammany support- ers. New Report by Labor ‘Fat Boys’ Plays Game of Both Boss Parties A “good” report on the labor rec- erd of a candidate for office, like a “good” political platform of one of the boss-parties, should be like a stained glass window — whoever looks through it may see whatever color he desires. This is the maxim undoubtedly followed by the group of A. F. of L. misleaders wHo have just is- sued their “study” of the records of Albert Ottinger and Franklin D. Roosevelt, candidates for governor on the republican and the democratic tickets, respectively. As a result of the “study,” both Parties will now use parts of the report to further the candidacy of their favorite, it was stated yester- day. The report is signed by Jonn Sullivan, president. John M. O’Han- Icn, secretary-treasurer of the so- called non-partisan campaign com- mittee of the New York State Fed- eration of Labor, labor fakers of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi- neers, the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Firemen and Enginemen, the Order of Railway Conductors and the Brotherhood of Railway Train- men also signed the document, which attempts to show that Ottin- ger, tho tool of the power trust, was at times favorable to labor, while at ethers the aristocratic Roosevelt was elso “favorable.” Religious Faker Dies ROCHESTER, N. Y., Oct. 12~ Mrs. Augusta B. Stetson, so-called “mother” of the Christian Science Church, died today at a hotel here. Mrs. Stetson, after a break with of- ficials of the church, had not been recognized as “mother” of the Uhristian Scientists since 1919. Christian Science is another of the ‘numerous fake religious fads, which, while drawing its chief support from wealthy capitalists, is used to de- fraud ignorant workers. LAST CHANCE TO REGISTER!
