Pport | | RELIGIOUS ISSUE DENIED BY MBRIDE Dry Leader Declares League Opposes Governor Solely on Wet Attitude. By the Associated Press. The charge that the Anti-Saloon League s opposing Gov. Smith, the Democratic presidential nominee, “on account of his religion” was declared to be “absolutely false” in a statement is- sued last night by F. Scott McBride, superintendent of the league. “Never in its 35 years of fighting against the liquor traffic,” Dr. McBride declared in his statement. “has the Anti-Saloon League opposed any can- didate because he was a Catholic. THe league has repeatedly supported dry Catholics when their opponents were wet Protestants.” Charges Camouflage. He added that the league would have supported “the dry Catholic instead of the wet Protestant” if the Democrats had nominated “Senator Walsh of Montana or Col. Patrick Henry Calla- han of Kentucky,” and the Republicans had selected “Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, or former Senator Wadsworth of New York.” Dr. McBride said that “the widely published statement by Senator Har- rison and more recent declarations by Smith's supporters that the drys were fighting him because of his religion are a part of the campaign to distract at- tention from Smith's wetness.” He charged that the Smith support- ers had raised the “religious issue” and not the drys. Hits Smith’s Record. “The up&nrmt purpose of the Smith forces is win voters,” he declared, “with a campaign for religious liberty whom they could not hope to in on the real issue, which is enforced prohi- bition versus the licensed liquor traffic. They hope to. win the vote of dry Catholics in_spite of Smith's wetness and of dry Protestants on the ground of religious liberty.” The Anti-Saloon League is opposing Smith “solely because of his record and attitude on the liquor question,” he said. “The issue is booze, not religion.” Gov. Smith he characterized as “the outstanding defender of the saloon until the Nation went dry and now is the chief warrior for the return of liquor with all fts degradation of man and its causation of hunger and want by women and children.” He added that the league also opposed Smith because he is the “creature of Tammany, which has aggressively defended and support- ed the saloon.” SENTENCED TO 180 DAYS. Colored Youths' Accused of Steal- ing Auto Battery. Philip Johnson, 2474- Phillips court, and James Templeman, 2412 M street. colored youths, were sentenced to 130 days in jail each by Judge Robert E. Mattingly in Police Court today for the larceny of a $10 automobile battery from Mack White. According to the testimony, the ac- cused took the battery from the car while it was parked in an alley near Twenty-fourth and M streets. They then sold it to Mrs. Amy Tyler, also colored, for $1.50. They were arrested after Helen White, 8-year-old colored girl, told police of the seventh precinct she had seen them take the battery. vmonth and Havre. d_Genoa.

SENATOR SMOOT RAPS HANSBROUGH FOR LETTER Calls Nebraska Republican, Now Supporting Smith, “Disgruntled Officeseeker.” By the Associated Press. A bristling statement, full of terms stich as “political has-beens” and “dis- gruntled Republican officeseeker,” was directed at former Senator Hansbrough of North Dakota yesterday by Senator Smoot of Utah. Smoot’s utterances were brought about by a recent letter in which Hans- brough, now supporting Gov. Smith, asked Herbert Hoover to repudiate all statements seeking to appeal to religious | prejudice in the campaign. The Utah Senator said that “no de- cent man tolerates publications built on religious prejudices,” and that Mr. Hoo- ver “has already in his acceptance speech made the strongest statement on religious fintolerance probably ever delivered in the United States.” He ac- cused Hansbrough of voting to deprive him of his Senate seat because Smoot was a member of the Mormon Church. STRATON CONTINUES ATTACK ON SMITH New York Pastor Is Greeted by Large Audience in Jack- sonville. By the Assoclated Press. JACKSONVILLE, Fla, September 7.—Dr. John Straton, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, New York City, carried his anti-Smith campaign deeper into the Southland here last night, reiterating his stand that the New York governor “is the deadliest foe to the moral forces in America today.” Speaking to an audience which filled the city's largest auditorium, Dr. Straton urged voters to cast their ballots for Hoover. Once, while reading a lengthy synopsis of ‘Gov. Smith’s public record, the speaker was interrupted by an elderly woman who rose from her seat in the front row to shout: “You're just glving scandal, and it won't go here.” Dr. Straton asked her to be seated, but she was escorted from the hall by members of the audience. Gov. Smith was described as the “wet head,” and Senator Robinson, Demo- cratic.vice presidential nominee, as the “dry tail” of the “Tammanyized donkey,” by the speaker, who added that he hoped to visit Southeastern States and debate with Senator Robinson. Mrs. Straton preceded her husband with a brief address in which she called on woman Democrats to vote against the party’'s presidential candidate. SENATOR FESS REVIEWS RECORD OF PROSPERITY By the Associated Press. DUNKIRK, N. Y., September 7.— Senator Simeon D. Fess of Ohio yes- terday analyzed American prosperity of the last eight years in a speech delive ered at the Chautauqua County Fair. “The Republican party stands for a sober Nation,” said Senator Fess. “It has pledged respect for the Constitu- tion and the laws of the land. It has denounced attempts at nullification of either or both. “The Democratic candidate, consistent with his past, would nullify both and return the drinking place, no matter by what name it may be called. This attempt will be repudiated in no un- certain terms. “For eight years under Republican control our prosperity has been the sub- ject of universal comment in the Old World. All America appreciates it ex- | cept the Democrats.” THE EVENING STAR, W. HOOVER TO STRESS BUSINESS STATUS Not Likely to Deal With Pro- hibition Issue in East and South Speeches. Although it has been rather generally believed that the prohibition question would be the principal issue of the campaign in the East, Herbert Hoover has definitely decided not to make it the subject matter of the four addresses which he is to make in the East and South, He is to make his appeal to the voters on cconomic conditions, tariff policy, water-power resources, industrial and labor problems. : If the prohibition question is dis- cussed by Hoover at all, it will be in the dry West as he makes his swing around the circuit en route to Califor- nia. Republican national headquarters here will, however, issue for publication a series of statements on the prohibition question, the first of which is scheduled to be released next week. Speeches Carefully Prepared. Those in the close confidences of Mr. Hoover explain that his placing the limit of four on his speeches in the East and South is not due so much to reluctance to face a crowd as to the fact that he devotes so much time and study to each speech. He writes and rewrites, edits and re-edits, until each phrase is exactly to his liking. Particular care is being taken with his labor speech, to be delivered in Newark on September 17, when it is believed he will have more auditors than at any other time during the cam- paign. He has tentatively decided to talk on water power and industrial development at Elizabethton, which is the center of a rapidly developing industrial ditsrict. He will go, on October 6, to Elizabeth- ton, in the Tennessee mountains, near the North Carolina line, and will speak in a large tabernacle on the grounds where will be held the annual industrial celebration of that section. Large Reception Expected. Residents of at least six States are expected to join in welcoming the Re- publican candidate to the solid South. Representative J. Will Taylor says that the audience to hear him on the 158th anniversary of the assembly of the set- tlers for the battle of Kings Mountain will number at least 150,000.. He ex- pects huge delegations of Republicans and Democrats from the adjacent sec- tions of Tennessee, North Carolina, Vir- ginia, Georgia and Kentucky. A wartime aide of Herbert Hoover, Mrs. Gertrude Battles Lane of New York, editor of the Waman's Home Companion, visited the Republican nom- inee yesterday and found him “very well satisfied with the political situation all over the country.” Mrs. Lane, who served under the candidate in the food administration, lunched informally with Mr. and Mrs. Hoover and their two sons, Herbert, jr., and Allan. She described the standard bearer as “looking awfully well and in splendid spirits.” Callers Received Yesterday. Among_Mr. Hoover's callers at his personal headquarters, 2315 Massachu- setts avenue, yesterday were: Louis V. Aronson of Newark, N. J.; Representa- tive Taylor of Tennessee, who discussed arrangements for the speech at Eliza- bethtown, and Lamont Rowlands of Picayune, Miss., assistant director of 0.:19 Mississippi Reconstruction Commis- sion. Democratic women in Texas are de- scribed as holding outstanding posi- tions in the Republican campaign or- ganization in a report made to the party's national headquarters by Mrs. SVITH WILL SPEAK SIXTIMES ONTOUR Two Other Address Trips Planncd Before Election on November 6. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 7.—-Gov. Smith will make six formal addresses in as many States on his trip West, start- ing September 16. The itinerary for the governor’s in- vasion of the agricultural area and many States normally Republican was given out by John J. Raskob, chalrman of the Democratic national committee, as the first of three campaign tours by the nominee. The governor will speak at Omaha September 18, Oklahoma City on Sep- tember 20, Denver on September 22, Helena, Mont., on September 24; Minne- apolis on September 27 and Milwaukee on September 29. He will return to Rochester on October 1 for the Demo- cratic State convention. Agriculture, water power and prohibi- tion are the chief subjects expected to be discussed by the nominee. Will Make Many Stops. The itinerary of this first trip, while listing only six formal addresses, calls for stops.in many cities where the gov- ernor will hold informal receptions from the platform of his special car. Raskob made no announcement as to the places to be visited on the second and third tours. A firm believer in a strong finish, Gov. Smith will devote the last seven weeks preceding election day to an ex- tensive campaign for the presidency. Twenty, possibly 30 or more, is esti- mated number of addresses he will make before November 6. The belief of party chieftains that the New York executive has a good chance to gain Nebraska’s 8, Oklahoma's 10, and Colorado’s 6 votes in the electoral college also is being made in the face of a convention delegate line-up which showed only one, Colorado, as solidly behind Gov. Smith for the nomination. October probably will find the nom- inee making another swing, but reserv- ing the East, including his native city, for the final punch of the campaign.

NORTH PLATTE, Nebr., September 7. —Senator Howell formally opened his campaign for re-election here last night with an attack on the record of Tam- many Hall and & plea to voters to re- nounce Gov. Smith as its product. In addition to his audience, Senator Howell spoke into the microphone of & portable broadcasting set with a power radius of 15 miles. He will use it in his entire speaking campaign. Commenting on the candidacies of Herbert Hoover and Gov. Smith, Sen- ator Howell said: “Gov. Smith is a product of the city of New York. Tammany and New York City are his political godparents. If as President he should efTectively espouse the cause of the farmer. he would turn his back upon New York City and Tammany. In view of these facts, which of these men, from the farmer’s standpoint, is most. likely to perform satisfactorily? In my opinion, Herbert Hoover is the man.” DAVIS TO SPEAK. ‘Will Address League of Republican ‘Women Monday.
