SMITH T0 ANSWER CRITCS ON TARIFF Will “Straighten Out” Con- troversy Between Party Leaders. _(Continued from Pirst Pag protection of the tes that want to be dry.” “There can be no mistake,” he said, “in passing the power back to the States. In a democracy, when it is sick, there is only one cure for it, and that is more democracy—hand it right back to the people themselves and say, Here, you settle it.” Before reaching the farm phase of his speech, the Democratic nominee drew a cheer at the outset when he explained how he ‘“came to make a speech in Nashville.” “The program of the national com- mittee,” he said, “did not include speech making in Tennessee. I was supposed to pass through this State, do plenty handshaking, wave the brown derby and greet the citizenship generally. But I came to_the conclusion that it would be a difficult thing for a Democratic candidate to be in the State that gave to the Nation the great Andrew Jack- #on and not have anything to say.” The governor attacked Senator Cur- tis' declaration, as he quoted it that “tariff protection on farm products is an important means to relieve the pres- ent depression in agriculture and place the farmer in a position of economic equality with other industries.” “Now the Senator has made his mind up to say that so often,” the nominee asserted, “that he is going to take a chance that finally some one will be- leve it.” He said the vice presidential candi- date knew very well that “there can be no equality between agriculture and in- dustry until the tariff is made to work for agriculture.” Says Curtis’ View Changes. Evidently referring to the McNary- Haugen bill, the principle of which he has indorsed for disposing of surplus farm crops, the governor said the Kan- sas Senator was “with the farmer one day and against him the next,” when he voted for that bill and then against it in upholding President Coolidge’s veto. Mr. Hoover was quoted as saying in his Tennessee speech that his party had “put forward a far-reaching and spe- cific proposal for the relief of the farmer.” “I cannot find it,” the governor said. “It certainly was not in his speech and it is not in the platform, because the platform is four years old on that sub- Ject. And it was not in his speech of acceptance. I read it over very care- fully, and I am satisfied that, if I under- stand English—I did not get much of a chance at it in the early days, but I( fi:eked up & great deal of it in the later fe—I am unable to find any comfort in the platform, or in the speech of ac- ceptance, for the farmer, or the cotton grower or the tobacco grower.” ‘The governor said that because Mr. Hoover was the “chief adviser of the present President on all this tariff and cultural legislation” it was “a bit it for him to take a position, be- cause in advance he is committed to the Coolidge policies, and the Coolidge policy so far as agriculture is concerned means nothing.” R Answers Immigration Point. As for immigration, Gov. Smith said there was no reason for Mr. Hoover saying in Tennessee that he did not increase i tion, ca “What is the necessity for saying that,” the governor asked, “unless it is to try to put into somebody’'s mind that I do? If he is trying to plant that in anybody’s mind he is making a very great mistake, 1 do not favor any let-down at all—not in the slight- est degree—in the present restrictive clasuses in lhe United States immigra- tion act.” Mr. Hoover's immigration statement, the governar said, “smacked a little bit too much of the old-time legal practice that they used to tell about, when the lawyer wanted to get the witness in bad by saying “when did you stop beating your wife?” s CURTIS RETURNS HERE FOR 2 DAYS Will Confer With Hoover and Work Today—Leaves To- morrow Night. * By the Associated Press. Senator Charles Curtis, the Republic- an vice presidentigl nominee, returned to Washington ay from a month’s campaign in the West to resume the party’s drive on the Eastern coast. Reaching the Capital early in the day, the Senator went immediately to his of to take care of senatorial duties which have accumulated in his absence. He will leave tomorrow nigl:t for Raliegh, N. C., and spend next wezk on the Atlantic seaboard. Mrs. Edward Gann, a sister, and a group of friencs met Senator Curtis at the train. He still carried his right hand in a sling because of the injury to a finger which was mashed in an auto- mobile door, but otherwise he seemed none the worse for his arduous cam- paign of the last four weeks. Late in the day the nominee plans to confer with Herbert Hoover and Chair- man Work of the Republican national committee. He has prepared a favor- able report on the outlook in the States he has visited. . KIDNAPED GIRL RESCUED. Police Searching for Former Suitor, Whom She Accuses. ROCKFORD, I, October 13 (#).— Anna Domino, 19, is safely back home with her parents, while police of north- ern Illinols and southern Wisconsin are looking for Peter Scifo, a former suitor, whom, the girl charges, kidnaped her Thursday while she was on her way home from work, and held her pris- oner overnight in a grocery store at Janesville, Wis. Miss Domino was rescued from her abductors early yesterday after she had | managed to telephone her parents, in- forming them of her plight. She told Rockford police that Scifo seized her and forced her into his automobile. Scifo and his companions took her to the home of Tom Moccero, a grocer, at Janesville. Scifo, Miss Domino said. tried to force her to marry him. Before police ar- rived at the Moccero home Scifo and his companions fled. LIQUOR IS SEIZED. Whisky Hidden in Trap Taken. Colored Man Held. ‘Twenty-eight quarts of corn whisky, hidden in a trap at 1679 Montello avenue northeast were seized yester- day afternoon by the police liquor squad, in charge of Sergt. O. J.

He furnished bond on & charge of illegal possession, l NASHVILLE, Tenn., The full text of the prepared s of Gov. Smith here last night follows: “Since early Thursday morning of this week I have been travelling through our Southland. Campaigning is no new thing with me, but I can say hon- estly and sincerely that in all of the years that I have been conductirig cam- paigns I have never received a more hearty, or, I might even say, a more affectionate welcome than I have re- ceived from the people in the South. At every railroad station and at every large city I have been greeted with an enthusiasm that gives me a new con- fidence in the righteousness of the cause that I am fighting for. “In accordance with the program of the national committee, my next speech is to be at Louisville, Ky. I was to pass through the State of Tennessee, but I did not feel lke leaving the State that gave to the nation that great leader of Democracy, Andrew Jackson, without saying something in apprecia- tion of the warm welcome that I have received. Holds G. 0. P. Hard Pressed. “In Omaha a little over three weeks ago, with a National Radio hook-up, I outlined the Democratic attitude on farm relief. I contrasied the platforms of the two parties, and the speeches of acceptance of the two candidates, and I definitely impressed upon the people that a speedy constructive program of farm relief could only come from the Democratic party. “Republican orators, the Republican national committee, and for that matter, the Republican candidate himself, have been very hard pressed to answer my Omaha speech on farm relief. “Senator Curtis, the candidate for Vice President on the Republican ticket, takes a chance with it, and in his speech at St. Paul he says: “‘Tariff protection on farm products is_an important means by which to relieve the present depression in agricul- ture and to place the farmer in a posi- tion of economic equality with our other industries.’ “The Senator keeps repeating that, with the hope that if he says it often enough somebody will begin to believe it. He knows as well as I do that the tariff standing by itself is not the rem- edy for the present depressed condition in agriculture. That he recognizes this to be the fact is shown by another sen- tence from his same speech when he says: “‘But in considering tariff rates as a means for improving the problems of agriculture, the danger of undue reliance on the effectiveness of this method must be avoided.’ Holds Some Promise Made. “What does he mean by that? Since when has he discovered that? The Republican party four years ago prom- ised measures that would Fut agricul- ture on an economic equality with in- dustry. It is a matter of history that nothing was done to carry out that promise for four long years. For that reason we see the same promise repeat- ed in this year's platform word for word, sentence for sentence, and at the end of four years Senator Curtis volun- teers the information that we must not put undue reliance upon the effective- ness Tgltm:s tariff. % “Tha! not in keeping with the candidate of his party, Mr. Hoover, who distinctly says in his speech of ac- ceptance that the tariff is the founda- tion of farm relfef. “Senator Curtis knows what the farmer needs. One method calculated to bring about economic equality with industry was suggested in the form of a legislative enactment. Senator Curtis voted for it when it was before the Senate and voted against it after it was vetoed by the President. In other words, he was with the farmer one day and against him the next. He could not have been right both times. He, above all men, is in no position to promote the interest of the candidate of his party, because his own record on farm relief does not stand the test. “The Republican candidate for Presi- dent, speaking in Tennessee a short time ago, spoke about the far-reaching and specific proposal, made by his political party on behalf of the farmers. 1 read the speech carefully, and I failed to see wherein he makes any definite suggestion to meet the difficulties that the farmer and the cotton grower must overcome in order to share in the gen- farm families who have lagged behind in the march of progress.” “If the endeavors of the past are con- tinued as promised by Mr. Hoover, the farmer has nothing to hope for. I know, if I were a farmet that is the way I would be compelled to take it, unless I were ready to admit that I hi understanding of the English lan “There is no question of sucl reaching importance to the people of this country today as the development of electrical energy from falling water, commonly referred to as water power. It is the last of our great natural re- sources, and it is threatened with in- vasion at the hands of the power trust and private monopoly that would use it for private profit and for private gain. Early in. this campaign I spoke about talking plainly to the people. In my speech at Denver over two weeks ago I made a definite, clean-cut, concise declaration of what I believe to be the proper public policy with regard to the development of public water powers. “I said that they should be developed by the Government, if under Govern- ment control, by a State if under State control, or by a group of States if un- der such control. I have been patient- ly waiting, as must also be the people of the country, for a declaration from the Republican candidate of just where he stands with regard to the ownership of the great publicly-owned water pow- ers of the country. Cites Hoover Speech. “I believed, and had the right to ex- pect that, speaking in Tennessee, a State to be greatly benefited by public operation and control of Muscle Shoals, he would say something upon the sub- ject that would give the American people an understanding of his attitude. To my great surprise, he did not even mention Muscle Shoals, but contented himself with the following general ob- servation: “There are local instances where the Government must enter the business field as a by-product of some great major purpose such as improvement in navigation, flood control, scientific re- search or national defense. T do not know what he can mean by by-product’ unless it is the generation of hydro-electric energy. “In_another part of the speech he sald that violations of public interest by individuals or corporations should not induce us to abandon progressive prin- ciples and substitute in their place dead- ly and destructive doctrines. “I would like to know what Mr. Hoo- ver means by ‘deadly and destructive dostrines’. Does he Tefer to Govern- ment ownership and control of water power sites? If so, why not say it? What is to be gained by clothing it in language that the man on the street is unable to understand? Is public owner- ship and public_development of water power deadly? Is it a destructive doc- trine? 1If so, why not let Mr. Hoover come right out and say ‘I believe in leasing or in selling or in disposing of, to private carporations for private de- velopment and for private profit, the great water power resources that belong to all the people’? Declares Position Involved. “That would define the issue. But why evade it? Why conceal it behind a wall of high-sounding phrases that leave in the minds of so many thousands of our people the element of doubt as to his exact position on this issue? “Mr. Hoover found that his reference to this problem was considered to be so vague and ambiguous that he subse- quently felt obliged to issue two state- ments regarding Muscle Shoals and, if anything at all happened, his position became more involved than ever. “I have clearly defined my attitude. It will be found in my speech of accept- ance. *“So far as Muscle Shoals is concerned, I said in my speech at Denver that I believe that the Government should continue the full and complete develop- ment of that plant, retaining it under Government ownership, operation and control. While it is true that it was a war measure and its pu was to produce nitrates for explosives, the by- product of electrical energy can be used to promote industry and give cheap and reasonable rates for home, small store and farm consumption. “The Republican candidate for Presi- dent has promised to follow the Coolidge Eollcy. ‘That policy is best set forth in is message to the Sixty-ninth Con- eral prosperity that the Republican party claims to have brought to the country. Charges Failure to Understand. “He repeats the language of his speech of acceptance about farmer~ owned and farmer-controlled stabili- zation corporations intended, as he claims, to protect the farmer from de- pressions and demoralization of Sum- mer and periodic surplusses, and while he definitely says that he does rot pro- pose & subsl{iy or a fee or a tax upon the farmer, he speaks about clothing the Federal Farm Board with power and resources with which to back up farm- ers co-operatives. No mention is made by him of what the resources are. No proposal is made that is to allow for not only the periodical and the Sum- mer surplusses, but for the annual sur- plusses in crops which, being in excess of domestic consumption and offered in a domestic market, fix the price of the whole crop. He fails to understand that the great fundamental principle of control of the exportable surplus is the prime solution of the problem. “This great principle is lost sight of not only in the plan advanced by the candidate, but in the platform of the Republican party; and he, in turn, fol- lowing the lead of Senator Curtis, re- peats the time-worn language of eco- nomic equelity as between agriculture and industry. If that means anything, to my way of thinking, it means making effective the tariff for agriculture as it is effective for industry. That can only be done by control of the exportable surplus; and unless the cost of dispos- ing of that surplus is charged back upon the crops lican candidate cannot in truth say that there i3 to be no subsidy, no fee, or no tax upon the farmer. Cites Party Platform. “Never in the history of political campaigning has an issue been as closely drawn as the one affecting farm relief. The Democratic party in its platform and myself in my speech of acceptance have definitely laid down first the recommon of the prineiple, and second, tl promise to work out the mechanics necessary to carry it into effect. On the other hand, neither in its platform nor in the speech of acceptance of its candidate, nor in any- thing that the Republican orators have so far said, does the Republican party suggest even the basis of a plan calcu- lated to bring about the necessary re- lief, and the farmers of the country must look to the Democratic party if they are to be relieved from some of the burdens of the situation in which they find themselves. “Let me quote the Republican Presi- dent on the farm question. Speaking ebout it in his message to Congress in 1926, he referred to the buiden of debts and taxes resting upun the shoulders of the farmer, too heavy for him to carry, and concluded by suying: “If a sound solution of a permanent nature can be found for this problem *he Congress ought not to hesitate to adopt it.’ “Congress sought and offered to the President the solution. Senator Curtis originally voted for it. The President vetoed it, and it is a matter of history and record that he offered nothing in its place, although he admitted in the same messag: that the subject was given more attention by the Federal Government than was given to any other subject. Says Hoover Approves. “The Republican candidate, known to be the President's chief adviser upon this subject, in one part of his speech of acceptance, approves of the Coolidge policies, and in another part promises farm relief; and in Tennessee, he said: enefited, the Repub- | 5% gress in 1925, when he said: “‘The problem of Muscle Shoals seems to me to have assumed a place out of all proportion with its real im- portance. It probably does not repre- sent in market value much more than a first-class battleship, yet it has been discussed in Congress over a od of years and for months at a time.” “Let me add, ‘and disposed of by Congress.” But the disposition, being favorable to the rank and file of the people, met with Executive veto. And with that policy Mr. Hoover says he agrees. s Promises Completion. “As against that, I promise the com- pletion of the development under Gov- ernment ownership and control, which would reclaim to the Government some fair revenue from the enormous ex- penditure already made for its improve- ment. When completed, the Nation will be reimbursed, agriculture will receive the benefit of cheap nitrate production for fertilizer purposes and the surplus water power can be distributed fairly to the people of the 10 States which plant could serve at rates which should remain under the control of the Gov- ernment and be fair and equitable. “The people of the country have their choice between my clear, clean-cut policy and the clear, clean-cut, straight forward policy of the Democratic plat- form, and the evasion, ducking and dodging of the Republican platform and the Republican candidate. “While I have the Republican candi- date’s speech before me, let me nail down hard and fast an old-time Re- publican campaign trick. Mr. Hoover vs: “ ‘I do not favor an increase in immi- gration.’ “Let me say, most emphatically, neither do I and neither does the Dem- ocratic platform. “He says: ‘At the same time we must humanize the laws, but only within the present quotas”’ That is exactly what I say, and it is exactly what the Demo- cratic platform says.

Assails G. O. P. Record. “In view of that record, can he con- scientiously say that the Republican eighteenth amendment as to make it any degree whatever of protection to the home? In view of the record I laid before the people in Milwaukee a little over a week ago, how can any candidate for any position on the Re- publican ticket speak about the sacred obligation to secure honest enforce- ment? “The Republican party has made pro- hibition the foot ball of politics. A former Republican enforcement agent referred to it as the new political pork barrel. Graft, corruption, bribery, on a wholesale scale have been the his- tory of attempted enforcement under Republican auspices. The record shows that we have never have had prohibition In this county in the sense that hard liquor was banished from it. There is as much if not more liquor in this country teday than there was in the pre-prohibition days. We have not achieved temperance under the present system. On the contrary, the wide- spread disregard of the prohibition law }s today undermining respect for all aw. “The Republican candidate himself admits the abuses that have grown up around it, but instead of suggesting a remedy, which he is either un- willing or unable to do, he expresses just the faint hope for its future success, “T have definite ideas about the eight- eenth amendment and the Volstead law, and as a husband and a father, I have as much interest in protecting the American home as any man in the United States. I ask that the prohibi- tion question be treated in accordance with the Jeffersonian theory of State rights. This great section of the coun- try through which I have been travel- ing for the past two days during all of its history has been devoted to the Jeffersonian principle of State rights. Why not apply it to this question? I think you must admit the great difficulty of securing co-operation from the rank and file of our people for a reasonable, fair and just enforcement of the prohibition law when large num- bers of the people of so many States are out of tune and out of sympathy with the law. Refers to Popular Referendums. “If you have any doubt about this, consult the popular referendums that have been had in so many States that stand in opposition to the existing pro- hibition statdtes and ask yourselves this question: What would you or the people of any dry State think about a pro- posal to amend the Constitution to for- bid you to enact prohibition laws? You would resent any such proposal, and Justly so0. That is just the way the people of other States feel about tne eighteenth amendment in its present form. “In my speech ,of acceptance I laid down a clear, definite program. In the first place, I said that I do not belleve the present definition of what constitutes an intoxicant is an honest one. I simply ask that Congress, after proper advice and after proper medical and scientific research, provide a defi- nition of an intoxicant more in keep- ing with the fact and the truth. I firmly feel that a great deal of the poisonous hard liquor that we now have in this country would be driven out of existence if people who desired to ao so would, under appropriate restric- tions, be permitted to use beverages not in fact intoxicating. “In the second place, I said that I personally believed in an amendment to the eighteenth amendment which would give to each individual State itself, after approval by a referendum Compound Interest Paid on Savings Accounts —by any observance included.

Every Business Day T T Capital B o administration has so enforced the popular.vote of its people, the right wholly within its borders to import, manufacture or cause to be manu- factured, and sell alcoholic beverages, the sale to be made only by the State itself and not for, consumption in any public place. That would mean that it would be impossible to refurn to the old conditions of the saloon, despised, snd rightly €0, by the American people. Federal Aid Held Duty. “Such an amendment would permit a dry State to be as dry as it liked. It would preserve for the dry States all benefit now growing from national pro- hibition and would give them the bene- fit of a national law on the subject. “It would always remain the duty of the Federal Government, under my pro- posal, to protect States desiring to re- main dry from the introduetion or im- portation into them of alcoholic bev- erages. At the same time it would per- mit a State which, after a vote of 1ts people, did not wish to be dry, to dis- pense alcoholic beverages under the strict control and limitations that I have outlined. “If that is not good, old-fashioned honest Democracy, if that is not in keep- ing with the Jeffersonian theory and principle of States’ rights, then I do not understand what those words mean. “I stated in my speech of acceptance that with respect to prohibition the President had two duties imposed upon him by the Constitution. First, to recommend to Congress what in his | in, opinion would promote the best interests and the welfare of the country. I have indicated briefly here tonight, and more fully in my speech of acceptance and in my speech at Milwaukee, the recom- mendations that I propose to make fo the Congress on the subject of national prohibition. “The second duty imposed upon the President is to enforce the law as he finds it. When I told the American people that if I were elected President, and, with one hand on the Bible and the other reaching up to Heaven, I promised that I would faithfully exe- cute the office of President of the United States, and to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, you may take my word for it that I shall make that assurance good, and shall wipe out the corruption and the brib- ery that have been so widespread in connection with prohibition enforce- ment during the past seven and a half years of Republican administration. “I am glad to be with you tonight and pleased to have this opportunity to talk to you. On the few issues that I could touch upon I have talked plainly. . That was my purpose in the beginning of the campaign. That is what I have been trying to get my opponent to do, upon the theory that when the American people make their decision they will make it with the full knowledge of all the facts. And if that kind of a campaign can be con- ducted throughout ~the length and breadth of this land, I have not, in my mind, any doubt but what the Demo- cratic party on the 6th of November will ride to a great national victory.” Church to Be Dedicated.
