| —_— ROBISON N DRVE ONE.0.P RECORD Repeats Charges Made in| South at Opening of Cam- paign in West. By the Associated Press ROBINSON SPECIAL CAR EN ROUTE TO KANSAS CITY, September 28 —Embarking upon one of the most extensive campaign tours ever under- taken by a vice presidential nominee. Senator Joe Robinson, in his first appeel o the West, is stressing the same issuos that he thumped upon time after time in his recent drive through Southwest- ern States. The Senator moved on to Kansas City today for the second of three speeches in Missouri after opening his program in the State at Springfield last night by making repeated thrusts at the eight-year record of Republicanism in Washington and denouncing in plain English preachers who, he said, were trying to mingle politics with religion He declared it was his opinion that a minister who injected politics into re- ligion did himself and his church more harm than the candidate he sought t oppose, and then at the top of his voice shouted out: “When he stops preaching Christ and gim crucified and starts preaching Al mith and him crucified I lose pati- ence.” Cheered by His Audience. This brought cheers and applause from an audience which packed every niche and corner of the auditorium in the Shrine Mosque and overflowed into the street outside. Mr. Robinson also hit upon the R:- publican farm record and declared ali that the party sought was * lease on power” and that all ised was to call another conference. “Why, that's what Presidents Hard- ing and Coolidge did,” he declared. “What we want is action, and Al Smith has promised that.” Speaking in the same hall where his rival for the vice presidency, Senator Curtis of Kansas, had talked Wednes- day night, Mr. Robinson stressed record of Gov. Smith on legislation af- fecting women and children and con- tended that the Democratic presidential nominee excelled “any other living statesman” in his efforts in their behalt. Amplifier Fails to Function. ‘The Senator was preceded by Charlcs M. Hay, the Democratic nominee fon the United States Senate from Missour. Scmething went wrong with the amplifier while Hay was talking, and at one time the instrument would carry his voice out over the chamber and the next it would cease to function, making a fluctuation in the sound of his voice. Finally Hay, with a smile, stopped his address and leaned forward and said: “I don't blame any kind of a machine for balking on the job after having to transmit what it did last night.” At this the audience roared. and a few minutes later the machine began to function perfectly once more. SMITH HURLS DEFI AT FARM CRITICS AND WHISPERERS (Continued from First Page.) 000,000, appropriated only $15,000,000, and added: “That, incidentally, is something which is a new practice which has grown up in Washington. It was in- vented in the interest of economy. Its undoubted purpose is to lead some people to think that they are going to get something.” ‘The Democratic platform, he assert- ed, “hits the nail squarely on the head because it not only declares for the plan and the comprehensive survey, but for the appropriation to make it ef- fective.” It also looks toward develop- ment of the northern part of the river, something he said the flood control bill adopted fails to provide for. Galleries Boo. Loud booing came from the gallerics when Smith mentioned an article in the St. Paul Dispatch, a Republican paper, which advised him not to dis- cuss inland waterway development here “for fear the matter of the St. Law- rence waterway might give him some embarrassment.” “Nothing embarrasses me,” shouted the nominee, to cheers, and then| added: “I do not see anything in the Re- publican platforms of 1924 or 1928 about the St. Lawrence waterway. I read very carefully Mr. Hoover's speech of acceptance. He does not say any- thing about the St. Lawrence water- way. I am afraid that is where the embarrassment is.” Declaring that in spite of his state- ment in his acceptance speech that, while he had favored the all-American youte from the Lakes to the sea, he would abide by Congress’ decision in the matter after a re-study of the question, “whispering agents of the Re- publican’ _ national committee are around whispering in a person’s ear, ‘keep him off; he will be for the New York route.’” “Incidentally, here is another whis- per that I discovered,” the nominee continued. “The whisperers are circu- lating the word around that Smith and the Democrats intend to take the em- bargo off of Argentine cattle, which are now kept out of the country because of the prevalence of the foot-and-mouth disease.” “Did you ever hear anything more ridiculous than that?” He asked con- tinuing: Backs Immigration Law. “There is another whispering cam- paign that is going on and it is preva- lent in this section of the country, ‘Be careful of Smith. stricted_immigration. He is going & open up_the floodgates and ‘et CEr. Tope podr all over this country.’ This he termed “nonsense,” when it is considered that both the Republican and Democratic platforms, in different language, “declare absolutely for the Tetention in full force and effect of the present, restrictive measures in the im- migration laws.” _“I declared for it, so did the Repub- lican presidential candidate,” he saic, “except that he said that the nationai origins law was not workable. And I agree with him on that. There is no issue between us.” Wild_ cheering greeted the nominen when he declared that nobody could deny that the great immigrant popula- tion “did its full share” to build up this country, including “the great Scandi- “ navian an 'erman immigr: the Northwest.” s The hall where Gov. Smith spoke was _estimated by police to have held 13,000 people. and it was jammed to the doors 20 minutes after it was opened at 6 oclock. This was three hours before Gov. Smith began his speech. Almost as many were said to have stood around the structure and in a park opposite it, while hundreds pounded away at a dozen or more entrances trying to gain admittance. Husband Asks Divorce.

Calvin Bready of Olney, in Mont- gomery Cecunty, Democratic judge of election, and registration officer for the .| Olney precinct, has been asked to re- ard bearer, Herbert Hoover, had prom- | sign his post by the Democratic State Central Committee for the county, be- cause he is opposing the election of Alfred E. Smith for President and the re-election of William Cabell Bruce for the United States Senate. The latter, which was received by Mr. Bready yesterday, is signed by Robert G. Hilton of Rockville, chairman of the State Central Committee, and Berry E. Clark, secretary and treasurer. The letter points out that the resig- nation is requested following a meet- ing of approximately 20 Democratic workers and leaders of the Olney dis- trict, where it was the unanimous opi ion that Mr. Bready should resign be- cause of his public opposition to both the Democratic presidential and sena- torial candidates. The letter says: “You should not at- tempt to represent the party as regis- tration officer and judge of election this year,” in view of your opposition to Gov. Smith and Senator Bruce. Un- der the Maryland law, the two political parties polling the largest vote in the last general election shall be represent- ed by a registration officer and judge of election, as well as by the number of judges and clerks of election provided by law for, each polling. Democratic leaders stated today they had not yet appointed Mr. Bready's successor, who will serve at the polls at the general election Tuesday, No- vemoer 6. Public announcement of his succassor is expected within the com- ing weak. SMOOT SEES TARIFF VITAL TO RANCHMEN Says Democratic Victory, With Free Trade, Would Ruin Meat Producers. By the Associated Press. Senator Reed Smoot of Utah today expressed the opinion that lacking tariff protection practically all producers of beef and mutton in the United States would be forced out of business. ._The Senator’s views were made known in a letter to a constituent who wished to know how the tariff benefited ranchers, sheepmen or dairymen. He said that the cost of production of beef and mutton is enormously greater in the United States than in any other surplus producing country. Senator Smoot_said that after the passage of the Underwood act large quantities of frozen beef and mutton were diverted from Europe to the United States. This was halted by the war, he declared, but resumed afterward land was only checked by the 1922 tariff aw. After quoting figures which he claimed showed the decrease in impor- tation of cattle, sheep, beef, mutton and dairy products’ after the extension of the protective tariff, the Senator as- serted that the 1913 Democratic tarifft rates would be restored if the Democrats win the next election. “The reasons for adequate protection are obvious,” he ‘concluded.

WRCWILL CARRY ALL SMITH TALKS Protest of Montgomery| County Leaders Adds Local Station to Hook-Up. The broadeasting of Gov. Alfred E Smith’s St. Paul speech over WRC last night and the announcement that all} of Smith's future campaign speeches would be broadcast through the Wash- ington station after WRC had original- ly been omitted from the list of sta- tions on the national hook-up by the Democratic_national committee is the result of efforts of Montgomery Coun- ty, Md., Democratic leaders, who have | worked hard the past week with Demo- | cratic chieftains at New York City to have WRC added to the stations on the Nation-wide hook-up for all of Smith's speeches. E. Brooke of Silver Spring, Speak- er of the Maryland House of Delegates and Democratic leader of Montgomery County, led the movement to have Smith’s speeches broadcast over WRC He worked through Senator Millard E. ‘Tydings of Maryland, who is chairman of the speakers’ bureau of the national committee and thus is in close touch with the national radio campaign. Promise Given to Maj. Lee. Both Senator Tydings and his associ- ates in the national headquarters in New York promised Maj. Lee over the long-distance telephone this weck that | the speech last night and the one to be delivered tomorrow night would be broadcast over WRC. Lee again was in communication with Democratic headquarters at New York yesterday and was promised that all of Gov. Smith’s future speeches would be broad- cast through WRC, with the exception of the Rochester speech Monday night. which is regarded as a New York State speech. Last Saturday night when Gov. Smith was speaking at Helena, Mont., Maj. Lee, representing the Smith-for- President Club of Silver Spring, offered to pay for the broadcasting of the speech over WRC. Efforts then were made to obtain authority for nddlng‘ WRC to the list of stations on the hook-up, but due to arrangements already completed it was not possible to get the Helena speech. Thousands Nearby Affected. Maj. Lee stated today that WRC should never have been left off the na- tional hook-up. “When the attention of the leaders of the Democratic national headquar- ters was called to the fact that thou- sands of Maryland and Virginia voters regard WRC as their home station, as well as the many thousand residents of Washington who vote by mail, they were entirely willing to add WRC to the broadcasting network,” he said. “We also called attention to the fact that it would be a great service to na- tional correspondents and many other residents of Washington who are deeply interested in the campaign, and who, although they are non-voters, will have a very considerable influence in the ultimate result.” WEST TO GO WEST | The Chastleton Hotel Conveniently Located, 16th St. at R Wardman management. two-room, kitchen and bath unfurnished 55 per month and upward.

By the Associated Press. MILWAUKEE, Septemper 28.—Repre- sentative Victor L. Berger, national chairman of the Socialist party, issued a statement yesterday in which he says that the statements by Socialist cam- paign managers in New York have been misinterpreted to mean that the Social- ists prefer Hoover instead of Smith. His statement follows: I see from Associated Press dispatches that statements made by Socialist cam- paign managers in New York have heen construed to mean that the Socialists prefer Hoover to Smith; also that Mr. Thomas, the presidential candidate of the Socialist party, on his return from a Nation-wide tour, predicts the elec- tion of Hoover. “I cannot agree with Mr. Thomas' predictions, Any prediction at this time as to who will be the successful candidate is vain, unless we accept as a basis the betting board of Wall Street, which is iwo and a half to one in favor of Hoover. Wall Street has been wrong before, however, and it may be wrong again. “I also consider the interpretations placed upon the statements misleading and_mischieveous. “Of the two major party candidates, Smith undoubtedly has the more sy pathetic personality for the common man, and if it were not for the fact that every Socialist and genuine Pro- gressive is expected to vote for his principles without regard for the win- someness of the individual, many Social- ists undoubtedly would vote for Smith in preference to Hoover. “The question of personality is of minor importance, however. There are vital issues involved—economic and political issues which affect the very existence of our democracy. Under those circumstances, the winsomeness of the candidates can play no part with those who appreciate the seriousness of the issues. Principles and party posi- tions only count—both parties™ arc owned, financed and managed by the super-power of super-capitalism.” —_— Capt Town, South Africa, has forbid- den twa-piece bathing suits.
