ISSUES MENAC RACE IN NEW/ YORK Smith Attacks Hylan and| Waterman Also Is Victim of “Whispering.” GOULD LINCOLN. ent of T BY ( staft Ce NEW YORK, September tnterjection of religi and issues in tics in this country ¢ Do £ a menace. o Ity campaign ven such 2 once, but ty st Gov. Al ged that Mayor Hylan, whe nomination the governor is oppo The il is us po! omi: in twis w mith o re York has was in se resentative ing the Democrati tion in New York some one—pres of the Ku Klux Klan dur- national conven last vear. Then Wbly the adherents of Mayor Hylan—started a whisper- ing campaign unst Frank D. Waterman, Repul 1 organization candidate for mayor, charging that h is anti-Catholic and anti-Jew. Mayor Hylan is himself a Catholi a churchman in good standing, his friends declare, and they insist it is unthinkable that he had dealings with the representatives of the Kla during the last national convention or at any other time. Randolph Hearst, hi bitterly resented the ch: Gov. Smith. Mr. Hearst, i to the New York American that Gov. Smith had attacked Hylan as & Ku Kluxer, and Sees Hand of Wall Street. “When the Democrats of the coun try e got through laughing the will ask: “Why does one Catholic Democrat call another Catholic Dem. ocrat a Ku Kluxer?” The answer is a letter serted Mayor ded: that Wall Street does not want Mayor | Hylan, with his 5-cent fare, elected, and Wall Street has induced Gov. Smith, who is its particular friend, to attack Mayor Hyland.” Gov. Smith, unwilling to pass this charge, replied to Mr. Hearst, calling his statement a ‘*‘wicked, pre- meditated lie “What I did say,” continued the governor, “was the truth, and it was as follows “While the Democrats of the city New York, with the Democrats of the Eastern part of the country, stood day in and day out during the long, hard siege in Madison Square Garden against the forces of racial and re- ligious bigotry, not so much for me as for what 1 represented in that fight, where was the mayor? In se. cret conference with the representa. tive of the Klan.” Designed to Cause Trouble. But whether Gov called the mayor a Ku Kluxer or not is a matter of little moment. What he did was to give to the New York voters the impression that Mayor Hylan was trafficking with the Klan while he, the governor, and other Democratic Catholics were standing firm against Mr. McAdoo, the Klan candidate, inside the Democratic na- tional convention. It might be called interjecting the religious issue in the second degree, but certainly it was an attempt to stir up some feeling against the mayor, or the governor would not have made it. Mayor Hylan himself says all there is to the charge of Gov. Smith that he was in secret conference with rep- resentatives of the Klan during the national convention is the fact that he visited Mr, McAdoo at the request of Mr. McAdoo; that McAdoo invited him to be a candidate for the vice presidential nomination on the Mc- Adoo ticket, and that the mayor de- clined and stated t! he was for the nomination of Gov. Smith for Presi- dent. Smith actually Waterman Issues Defense. Mr. Waterman, candidate of the Republican organization for the may- oralty nomination, has made an open statement, insisting that he has no religious and racial prejudices in politics or out. He is an Episco- palian, but, he insists, in the em- ployment of thousands of men he has never discriminated against any be- cause of religion or race. He declared that 60 per cent of his employes to day are Catholics and Jews, that hi two sons, now grown, were students at a Catholic school for a year in Spain; that 75 per cent of his 3,000 customers in New York are Jews, and that o Jew was general manager of the Waterman business until he died. But notwithstanding this state- ment, the whispering campaign con- tinues and is likely to continue. When a religious question is once raised, it declines as a rule to down. A Pro- testant minister visited Mr. Water- man’s headquarters to tell him he had been drawn aside by a police- man in the street, who told him that Mr. Waterman was “against the Catholics.” All this is Mr. Waterman Religion and race have no place in politics in this country. But activi- ties of the Klan and other organiza- tions are having their effect. Mr. Waterman believes firmly that reli. gious issues should be barred, and former Surrogate John P. Cohalan, campaign manager for Mayor Hylan, is equally strong in denunciation of any steps to drag religion into the campaign. Copeland Denounces Tactics. Senator Royal S. Copeland, Demo- crat, who is supporting the candidacy of Mayor Hylan, strongly denounces any effort to inject religion into poli- tics. He is a Protestant, but in the old days when he lived in Michigan, he was active in his opposition to the political activities of the A. P. A. It is to Senator Copeland, by the way, the vote of the New York delegation, or part of it, would be thrown in the national convention if the Hearst- Hylan combination should gain con- trol of the party organization, accord- ing to the Smith adherents. But Senator Copeland insists he has no presidential bee buzzing about his head, and that he would prefer to see the delegation support Gov. Smith for the nomination Over at the Smith-Walker headquar- ters disclaimers are made, too, of any desire to bring religious and_racial issues into the campaign. Indeed, religion in politics is denounced on all sides, but never-the-less it has been interjected into the present campaign and doubtless will play its part before the last vote is cast. Remark May Last. The governor's remark about Mayor Hylan was made, it is said, in an ex- temporaneots speech, and he might not have made it had he reflected what a rumpus might be stirred up. It may take its place yet in political history along with Burchard's refer- ence to “rum, Romanism and rebel- lion,” which caused a furor years ago and aided in_the defeat of James G. Blaine, the Republican nominee for President. The fact that Mayor Hylan himself is a Catholic takes away the sting of the governor's accusation to a certain degree. Had he been a Prot- estant, the charge might have been pressed home and the religious issue would have become paramount, in all probability.

Still another estimate is that the population of Greater New York is divided as follows: One-third Protestant, one-third Jew and one- third Catholic. The last estimate probably places the Protestant figzures too high. It is easy to see, however, that whichever estimate is correct, much may be done in a political way through stirring up religious and racial issues here. Out of a popula- tion of over 6,000,000 people, 2,000,000 are foreign-born and 4,000,000 of for- eign stock. The number of Jews in New York city is about 1,700,000. Klan Causes Line-Up. The two Democratic candidates in the present contest are both Cath- olics, while the Republican is a Pretestant. Because of the activities of the Klan, the Catholics and the Jews have been thrown more or less into one camp. In the last analysis, the Demo- cratic national convention of last year was not the cause of the trou- | ble over religious issues in politic It was only the vehicle which served to bring the matter more | clearly to public attention and to rouse still further the religious and racial feeling. At the hottom of the trouble is the effort of the Klan and other organizations to dictate in re-| gard to political candidates and | issues. i Efforts to make political capital of religious and racial issues are not without precedent this country. The American part popularly known in its day as the “Know- Nothing” party, adopted a platform in 1856, declarihg against any person holding office who was not American- born, and also brought in the religious issue, with Catholicism as Its butt. It is clear that if onme church downs another in a political battle the vic- torious church may become a dom nant factor in the Government itself, which is contrary to the American principle of keeping church and state separate. The metropolitan press ‘of New York generally have denounced edi- torfally the effort to drag religious issues into the present campaign, both in connection with the can: didacy of Mayor Hylan and that of Mr. Waterman. These newspapers, with the exception of the Hearst papers, are opposing Mayor Hylan and supporting either Walker or ‘Waterman. * BARRED FROM AIR. Political Speeches Halted at Muni Station.

Gunn Takes Lead. Gunn took a lead of one hole by scoring an eagle 3 at the fourth His second shot was played with a No. 1 iron and stopped 10 feet beyond the flag and he dropped the putt.

A birdie 3 gave Jones the fifth quared the match.
