GOV. SMITH PRIMES HIMSELF FOR TOUR Plays Golf Before Starting Qut for the West: This Evening. Br the Associated Press. ALBANY, N. Y., September 15— Priming himself physically for the two weeks' campaign tour through the West and Northwest he will start out on to- morrow night, Gov. Smith dismissed of- ficial and political cares from his mind today, played some golf and did con- siderable resting. The nominee of the Democrats re- mained away from his office at the capitol, having cleared his desk of all pressing business, and took it easy in the circle of his family and a few close friends. After a late breakfast, the governor, | togged out, for a round of golf, held his | daily conference with newspapermen in the reception room at the executive mansion, as he awaited the arrival from New York of two members of a four- some—his son, “Young Al" as he re- fers to him, and his friend, William H. | Todd, the ship builder.

His #chedule calls for addresses in Omaha, ‘Tuesday night, then in Oklahoma City, Denver, Helena, St. Paul and ‘waukee.

Smith has been affiliated. ‘There is New York voters that the character of Tammany has never changed; that it is still the most venal political organi- zation in the country. Recent exposures of graft and corruption in New York have.awakened the citizens of the State to the danger of Tammany influence in the White House. growing realization among “In addition there are a large num- _|lican State convention will be held first, to Smith in the end.

Lewis of Boston, former Assistant Attorney General under Pres- ident Taft, one of -the most widely known colored lawyers, after calling upon Mr. Hoover at headquarters here | today, announced his support of the Re- | publican nominee for President. Mr. | Lewis four years ago voted for John W. Davis and supported the Democratic ticket. “After a lengthy interview with Mr, Hoover,” said Mr.' Lewis, “I am satis- fled that the interests of the colored | American lie with the Republican nomi- , nee.

By the Associated Press. LEXINGTON, Ky., September 15— Before a rally of Kentuckians, opening their State Republican campaign, Sena- tor Curtis, the party's vice presidential nominee, today advocated higher tariff as a means of benefiting the “ailing” agricultural situation, and reiterated his stand that the prohibition law “can be enforced with proper effort.” He pledged the Republicans to up- ward tariff revision. He also saw addi- tional hopes for the farmers in the “promise” of Herbert Hoover to call agricultural conferences, and in the prospect for improved marketing sys- tems. Opening his Western tour, the Sena- tor had an enthusiastic reception in the blue grass section. A crowd which jammed the afternoon meeting at Woodland Park and collected about amplifiers on the outside of the audi- torium cheered his proposals for farm relief. Party leaders who spoke also received a hand when they confidently predicted a majority of 50,000 for the Renuulican ticket in this State. Settles Women's Dispute. Senator Curtis found the Kentuckians taking their politics seriously. In fact, he found two rival women's organiza- tions battling not only for the Repub- lican ticket, but each other. It took a written truce, signed at the last minute, to settle the dispute between the wom- en's Republican Club of Kentucky and the » Kentucky Women's Republican League, as to which should give him a breakfast party. The “truce” gave each organization an equal share in the party, which went along smoothly enough under the agree- ment. While the women were ironing out their squabble,-the Senator spent his early hours here, today, shaking hands in the crowded lobby of the Phoenix Hotel, where he made headquarters. After the breakfast party, Senator Curtis went on a sight-seeing trip and visited the stables of Mrs. Payne Whit- ney. He posed there with the famous horse, Mad Hatter. He is a lover of horses, having spent part of his youth as a jockey, and after the meeting, this afternoon, he was driven by auto- mobile to Louisville, where the horse show took place tonight at the State Fair, £ In his talk the Senator recalled that heirode as a youth'a horsé bred in this Blue Grass region. ' John M. ‘Robsion, chafrman of the State campaign committee, presided. Tariff as Farm Aid. “The tariff is not the rémedy for all the economic ills of the farmer and stock raiser, but; where it will help,' it ‘should be applied,” the Senator said. “Many of the farmers’ ills are the result: of the war and of post-war con- ditions _generally; others are, in part at least, the result of maladjustments of our distributive system—a lack of proper marketing facilities. “Co-operative associations have done muth _to relieve this latter difficulty. and, if properly extended, will, in my judgment, bring still greater relief.” - Upon leaving the auditorium the Sen- ator was called upon to address a huge overflow meeting of those who had been unable to get into the spacious hall. In_a brief talk there, he denounced the Democratic position on the tariff, and declared Gov. Smith favored a revision of the tariff act along lines of the Underwood bill, which, he con- tended, meant lower rates on agricul- tural products. LOCAL DRYS UNITE 10 OPPOSE SMITH Urge D. C. Residents Having Votes to Support Hoover. ‘Through conferences held recently, dry organizations in the District are| preparing to oppose Gov. Smith and support Herbert Hcover for the presi- dency. Representatives of the Anti- Saloon League, Woman's Christian Temperance Union, Washington Law Enforcement Committee, International Order of Good Templars, Citizens’ Serv- ice Association and others have been taking part in joint conferences, plan- ning to back Mr. Hoover. ! The principal effort of the conference | will be to encourage persons in the Dis- trict who are entitled to vote in one of the States to cast their ballots for the | Republican ticket. 1 The joint conference met yesterday in | the office of Andrew Wilson, chairman | of the conference and also president of | the local Anti-Saloon League. Mrs. N.| M. Pollock, president of the Woman's | Christlan Temperance Union, is secre- | tary. The attitude of the conference | toward the presidential candidates was set forth in a declaration, which was authorized at yesterday's meeting. “Our opposition to the election of Gov. Smith for the presidency is solely because of his attitude toward prohibi- tion. His public record and his pro- nouncements clearly commit him to the overthrow of the eighteenth amend- | ment,” the declaration says. | “The charge so freely made by the friends of Gov. Smith that the dry or- ganizations are fighting him because of | his religion or his party affiliation is untrue and is made for the purpose of beclouding the issues and deceiving the | voters. “‘Gov. Smith having declared his plat- | form of opposition to prohibition and having drawn to his support all friends of the outlawed and discredited liquor traffie, he must be, and is. regarded as & mendce to the eighteenth amendmenr and therefore "should be defeated for the presidency. * * * “We believe it to be the patriotic duty of all good. eltizens to rally to the sup- port of the prohibition policy as exem- plified by.the elghteenth amendment and ‘the enforcement laws, and we ap- peal to all residents of the District of Columbia who have retained their citi- zenship -in the States to make prompt preparation to vote on ‘the 6th day of November next, and for Herbert Hoover.” er.” — Two Pampas cat¢ which have arrived at the London Zoo from South America refused to eat raw food, and will touch orx:ly that which is cooked specially for thel LAFOLLETTE VOTE SEENSAFELYG. 0.P. Senator Moses Scoffs Claims of Democrats for “Old Bob’s” Strength. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 15.—Senator George H. Moses, vice chairman of the Hoover Eastern advisory committee; to- day scoffed at the announcement by Democratic leaders that they hoped to swing the La Follette vote of four years ago to Gov. Smith. The Senator said S Patent leather heel. heel. A satin moire. 5 Dainty side cut-out toe. Spanish heel. he eould not imagine “Little Bob La Follette voting for a Democrat.” Senator La Follette has not declared himself, Senator Moses asserted. “The La Follettes have had scant love for the Democrats,” he said. “Old Bob was a Républican, and so is young Bob. Young Bob, as his father did, has supported the Republican party in Senate organization when, if he had voted Democrat, there would have been a tie.” Senator Moses saild he was told by North Dakota leaders in Washington this week that both Dakotas would go for Hoover. “They say the Dakotas are absolutely safe,”. he said. “There is'some trouble in Minnesota, but it centers more around the senatorial election than around the presidential election,” Senator Moses reiterated his denial that Vare leaders in Pennsylvania were swinging over to Gov. Smith. “There is nothing imperiling the Hoover majority in Philadelphia,” he sald. “There's a little trouble in Pitts- burgh over prohibition, but I don't re- ard it as vital in any respect.” At the very e ———— e ——— e ——— e —— D.
