Kv., September 21.— Advised by State Democratic leaders that religion was cne of the issues tn be fought out in Kentucky, Senator | Jve Robinson opencd his campaign here with a plea for religious tol- erance and a declaration that he ad- mir.d Gov. Smith for having followed the faith of his mother—that of the Catholic Church Mr. Robinson. who today moved on to Paducah for the last of a two- speech drive in the State, said here last night that he was a Methodist Jargely because his mother had been a Methodist. and predicted that most of the audience, which crowded into & big tobacco warehouse, were mem- bers of their respective churches be- cause their mothers had belonged to those churches before them. | "THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

The vice presidential nominee was | preceded by Senator Alven W. Barkley of Kentucky, himself mentioned at Houston as a prospective running mate for Smith. The Kentuckian likewise pleaded for tolerance in religion, and |said that although he did not fully agree with the New York governor on prohibition. he was supporting him. Barkley said he was so “dry that some of my friends are afraid to light a match aréund me” and that he had dif- fered with Woodrow Wilson on pro- hibition and voted to pass the Volstead act over his veto. Yet, he went on, there’s probably not a Democrat who would vote against Wilson because of his views on that question, although Gov. Smith enter- tains the same views on that question as Wilson 'WORK GIVES LEADERS OPTIMISTIC REPORT “Whispering Campaign.” | Tells New England Group That The presidential | nominee followed up attacks elsewhere on what he describes as “the whis- pering campaign” by declaring that subordinates of Chairman Work of the Republican campaign committee had | eonducted a “seeker for material upon | which to base an appeal to Western | women to a source where personal at-| tacks on Gov.

Hoover Not Misrepresented. Ts is true, as Mr. Work states, he &kid, that only a part of a cablegram b the Republican presidential nominee 16 George N. Peek, a leader in the farm relief movement. was.read. But Mr. * Work is wronz in saying that Hoover was misrepresented. ‘The cablegram “bristles” with decla- Democratic vice rations, he said, referring to the neces- sity of maintaining control of wheat in order to prevent higher prices before the next harvest and embraces the statement that “unless some superior force intervenes * * * we intend to hold the price of wheat to the figure at which it has stood during the entire war under congressional guarantee.” ‘The Senator said he would be glad to have Work make public the whole text | of the message, and added that in a Hoover Sentiment Is Pro- gressing Rapidly. By the Associated Press. England Republican leaders, gathered here yesterday for a conference to out- line the campaign in this section, heard Dr. Hubert Work, chairman of the Re- publican national committee, give a most optimistic report of party condi- tions throughout the Nation. He pi tured the Hoover sentiment as being tremendous proportion. “In my travels,” said Dr. Work, “I have been able to get a good perspective of the political situation in the country. It is not too much to say that the officers of the Republican party have been kept in closer touch with the cen- tral organization than ever before. The reports coming in are most assuring.” Dr. Work spoke of the part women are playing in the campaign as “a very substantial element.” " They are weil organized, alert and appreciative of their responsibility, he said. He re- iterated his opinion that a large “of the great majority” in Hoover' favor at the election will be due to the werk of women. Dr. Work was accompanied by John Q.
