Offer Many Arguments. Among the arguments advanced in support of this locality in the brief ,are the following: That the land is jevel, the streets are wide and Im- proved with water and sewer service, rail and water facilities could readily be provided, there would be ample parking space in the vicinity. and that farmers as well as others engaged In long distance trucking could reach the site without having to cro: Pennsylvania avenue west of the Ca tol.

November 3.—With a | challenge that evidence be produced to substantiate charges of vice in the county in which New York's Capitol is located, Gov. Alfred E. Smith struck back at Col. Theodore Roosevelt in a statement published today. The gov- ernor termed charges by the colonel “loose and foolish.” In speeches before the Republican State convention at Rochester and in this city Col. Roosevelt attacked Tam- many as corrupt and’blamed Tam- many and the governor for conditions in Albany. “Col. Roosevelt has little interest in the welfare of the State of New York when at the height of a campaign for constitutional amendments he uses up the time of the public to make a per- sonal attack upon me.” said the gov ernor's reply One of the amendments the governor referred to would provide for the elec- tion of governors in presidential years, a measure fostered by the Republicans and similar to one recently defeated in New Jersey. | Gov. Smith said that Col. Roosevelt “is entirely without understanding of the State's fiscal system.” Rooseveit's charges that police raids | gambling were admiited by the governor, who met them with a counter charge that similar raids had been made on Republican club-| houses, in -one of which police en-| countered gunmen with police records | who were in the employ of the Ke- publican club to protect the play. Addressing _Col. Roosevelt, ~Gov. vealed open his post every night looking for vio- lators of the law. “Quit the ‘ob of trylng to pull the red-hot political chestnuts out of the fire for the discredited leaders of your old, broken-down, dilapidated, corrupt Republican machine. “You made some rash and foolish statements that were so bitterly criti- cized by the press of the country and by members of your own party.” To charges of Col. Roosevelt that he had investigated law violations in Republican counties while ignoring conditions In Democratic counties, Gov Smith sald he had ordered in- quiries mad- into every frregularity according to the procedure required by law, regardless of political terri: torfal lines.
