It will be recalled how gayly and blithesomely the demo- 1erats, at their state convention in | Syracuse, adopted the “wet” plank in their platform. Not a word of pro- test spoken in convention, theugh | there had been earnest exhortation against it before the platform com- mittee and to the leaders, who had lent a deaf ear. For nearly three weeks that plank was not commented upon by the republicans, as the campaign pro- gressed. Nelther had Candidate Smith found it pedient 1o discuss it. But here the night before last the hither- | to submerged issue came to the front. |1t was at Elmira, where Candidate | Smith spoke to a large audience. For | two days prior to his coming there | had been printed in the local papers half-page advertisements proclaim- | ing his alleged advocacy of the “wet” | cause. One of them declared that Mr. ! Smith wanted the saloon back. An- other quoted the democratic platform plank on the prohibition question. Dinner Remark Quoted. Another quoted a remark attributed to Smith at a democratic dinner last April in New York city, in which he | 15 alleged to have sald that "I don't believe that the democratic party should camouflage on this subject. ‘The democratic party is a saloon par- ty and everybody knows it is a sa- i loon party, and it ought to come out and say so.” | ""The ~advertisement called upon Smith_to say whether he is wet or dry. He promptly accepted the chal- { lenge and declared that he stood by | the democratic platform. That docu- { ment in treating of this subject say “Recognizing that the interpreta- tion of the eighteenth amendment to | the federal Constitution expressed in { the Volstead act has resulted in wide- i spread contempt and violation of the law, in illegal traffic in liquors and {in official corruption, we insist upon Congress enacting such modification | of the Volstead act as shall legalize, | subject to the approval of the state of i New York, the use of beer and light wines under such careful restrictions as were imposed by the law passed in New York in 1920 Denies Wanting Saloon. Smith denfed that he wanted the saloon back and then proceeded to at- tack State Senator Lowman, chairman of the republican county committee, I to whom he imputed the authorship lof the advertisements, .insinuating | that he was interested in state road - | contracts. | The point is that at last the 1id had [been taken off of a real live issue in the campaign, which will be a rellef from the reiteration and reiteration of thie respective merits of the execu- tive records of former Gov. Smith and present Gov. Miller. The democratic managers had hoped that this would be one of the ignored issues of the campaign—existent, but not ex- ploited—believing that the republic- ans would prefer to let it ride, on the ground that while it would be ad- vantageous to them to have it exist as an issue upstate, in the rural dis- tricts and the small home towns, they | would not care to stress opposition to cities. { {will be heard from In progressive de. i gree from now on.

Paving of the bridge has been de- layed by the consideration of certain legal questions involved in the per- mit issued to the Capital Traction Company to extend its tracks over the ‘bridge and build a loop on the government reservation at the south end at Rosslyn. Those preliminaries have just been completed and today orders were given to begin the in- stallation of the electric railway sys- tem.
