2 SHITHATAGAED FOR STATEMENS New York G. 0. P. State Com- mittee Hits Governor’s Ac- ceptance Speech Stand. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 17.—On the eve of Gov. Smith's Western speaking tour, the New York Republican State committee yesterday issued a statement criticizing statements made by the gov- ernor in his acceptance speech on ca- nals, prohibition, the tariff, immigra- tion and corruption. On the subject of canals, the state- ment charged that previous utterances by the governor were “very different from the acceptance speech stand of Mr. Smith, who now finds that engi- neers have challenged the feasibility of his proposed New York-to-the-lakes ship canal and promises farmers of the ‘West to review and weigh his past canal convictions.” Attack on Prohibition Stand. Under the heading “Prohibition,” the statement said that “if Gov. Smith would be sincere about enforcing the Volstead act as President of the United States, it seems proper to inquire why he has not exercised the powers he out- lines to enforce this act as Governor of the State of New York.” Discussing the tariff, the statement said, that “in his acceptance speech he is for a tarff that will maintain high wages for American workmen,” and that “before he was a candidate for the residency Gov. Smith was not so care- ul in his expressions.” Under the subject of “Corruption,” the statemenv quoted the governor as charg- ing in his acceptance speech that “the Republican party today stands respon- sible for the widespread dishonesty that has honeycombed its administration.” The statement then recalls that the governor is a sachem of Tammany Hall and added: New York Graft Charged. “City departments have been shown to ke honeycombed with organized graft ranging from the theft of millions from taxpayers by means of exorbitant prices for sewer pipe in the borough of Queens to petty extortion from the poor by city marshals. Moral conditions have been commented upon in the indictment pub- lished by the committee of 14. Demo- cratic leaders of the governor's own party have labeled the organization of which he is the head as a menace to the Nation.” DR. STRATON AGAIN CHALLENGES SMITH Wants to Meet Governor in “Joint Discussion” at Oklahoma City . | Sixty New York State Clubs Hear Senate Page Happy Because of His Job On Smith’s Train By the Associated Press. ALBANY, N. Y., September 17.— One of the happiest youngsters in America, 15-year-old Milburn Mc- Carthy of Eastland, Tex., is aboard Gov. Smith’s special train headed for the West. He is a page on the campaign special, a job he has had for a year in the United States Senate. , Milburn isn’t 5 feet tall, but he is a stocky boy with a smile even for Republicans. He was all smiles when the train left Albany late last night. For several months the youthful ‘Texan has been one of the office boys at Democratic national head- quarters and at night he has been delivering Smith-Robinson speeches at political rallies in and around New York. HOOVER AND SMITH BACK VOTE DRIV | by Work and Raskob. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 17.—Gov. Al- fred E. Smith, Herbert Hoover and their respective campaign managers have in- dorsed the non-partisan “get out the vote” campaign of the National Civic Federation’s active citizenship commit- tee, that organization announced yes- y. Gov. Smith, who is a vice chairman of the committee, wrote that “a Re- publican form of government cannot survive unless all of its citizens partici- pate and exercise their rights at the proper times.” Mr. Hoover, writing that the cam- paign has his “cordial approval,” added, “Your organization is right in giving especial consideration to the 7,000,000 boys and girls who will cast their first presidential vote this year.” John J. Raskob, Democratic national chairman, said the campaign sounds a “constructive keynote for a better and fuller understanding of the meaning of the word citizenship.” Dr. Work, Republican national chair- man, wrote, “J6 is the paramount duty of every young man and woman when they reach voting age to become actively identified with some party organization.” 300 POLISH DELEGATES PLEDGE AID TO SMITH| September 20. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 17.—The Rev. Dr. John Roach Straton, in an open letter read from his pulpit at Calvary Baptist Church last night, chal- lenged v. Alfred E. Smith to meet him on September 20 at Oklahoma City for a “joint discussion” of the gov- ernor’s public record. ‘The clergyman is scheduled to speak in that city on September 21, and the tic nominee’s itinerary calls for an address there on September 20. Dr. Straton’s letter suggested that he and the governor “divide time” with each other on both dates. “I have been invited by a group of anti-Smith Democrats and anti-liquor friends to speak in Oklahola City on © September 21,” the, letter, which was addressed to the governor, sai: “If you will divide your time with me on September 20, I will gladly divide my fime with you.” Dr. Straton left soon after his sermon o begin another Southern tour, that he said would begin at Little Rock, Ark., on September 18 and continue until October 11, with addresses at the fol- lowing citles ‘Tulsa, Okl September 19; Okla- City, September 21; Fort Worth and Dallas, Tex., September 23; Waco, Tex., the week of September 23; Shreveport, La., October 2; Baton Rouge, Alexandria and New Orleans, La., the week ‘of October 2, Birming: ham, Ala.; October 8, Montgomt Ala., October 9, and Decatur, Miss., tober 10. Thereafter, he said, he may speak at Nashville, Tenn.; Loulsville, Ky., and other Southern cities from which he has received invitations. SR S SR 16 CLAIMS PROGRESSIVE AID. Bocialist Sees Many La Follette Supporters Flocking to Party. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 17 (#).— Morris Hillquit, chairman of the So- cialist action committee, yesterday is- sued a statement through the Socialist national campaign committee claiming the Socialist party this year will get most of the Progressive vote. “It is safe to predict that a large por- tion of the La Follette vote will go to Norman Thomas, the Socialist candi- date for President,” he said, “not be- cause of any influence of former leaders of the Progressive movement, but be- cause the Socialist party comes nearer than any other party to the principles, ideals, aspirations and concrete pro- posals which animated the La Follette campaign and because the Socialist party is the most logical heir to the Pro- gressive vote and support.” AUTHORS BACK SMITH. NEW YORK, September 17 (#)— Formation in New York of an authors’ committee for Alfred E. Smith, with 147 members, was announced yesterday at Democratic national headquarters.

A telegram from Gov.

With these principles I am sure victory is ours in November.” SR R Czechoslovakia mined’ more than 17,- 000,000 tons of bituminous coal and lig- nite in the past year.
