Nominee Danced With Colored Woman Denied. Br the Associated Press. Gov. Theodore G. Bilbo of Mississippi was the recipient today of a stinging mes- | sage of censure from Herbert Hoover's general headquarters because of a state- | ment attributed to him that the Re- publican _presidential nomince had danced with a colored woman of Mis- sissippl—a statement which was brand- ed a3 “indecent” and faise.” George Akerson, Mr. Hoover's assist- ant, took cognizance oi remarks credit- ed to the governor.in Southern news- papers and dispatched to him one of the sharpest messages of tha campaign. It bristled with expressions of indigna- tion and asserted that “no more un- truthful and ignoble assertion was ever uttered by a public man in the United States than that attributed to you.” “Vou are quoted by the press of the South,” Akerson said in his telegram. “as having steted in a public address that Herbert Hoover on one of his flood relief trips got off the train at Mound Bayou, Miss., and paid a call on a col- ored woman and later danced with her. Severely Denouticed. “That statement is unqualifiedly false. ‘There is not thz slightest foun- dation for it. It is the most indecent and unworthy statement in the whole of a bitter campaign.” Asserting that he was with Hoover | “every hour of the four months while he was engaged in the flood.” the nomi- nee’s assistant declared that the then Secrclary of Commerce “gave all that wes In him to * * * a task necessi- tating experience and iniiuence which | no other man in the United States possessed and for which the gratitude | of the Stete of Mississippi was unani- | mously expressed by its Legislature.” Akerson said Hoover was never in !

LOUISVILLE, Ky., October 20.— Having delivered five speeches in four Southern States in support of Herbert Hoover's presidential candidacy, Sena- Iior William E. Borah of Idaho today commenced & two-day respite from the exertions of his campaigning. Resting in Louisville, where he deliv- ered an attack last night on Gov. Smith’s position on the tariff, before his scheduled departure early in the afternoon to Memphiz, Tenn., the Idaho Senator was invited by friends to take an automobile ride and possibly in- dulge in his favorite recreation of horseback riding. The Senator will reach Memphis late tonight. Tomorrow he plans to_confer ;VJiLh & number of Tennessee Repub- {lican leaders before leaving for Dalas, »Z‘?xv, to deliver the sixth address of his Tip. Tntimates Inconsistency. | In his speech at the Jefferson County | Armory last night Senator Borah tcok the Democratic presidential nominee to task for advocating the protective tarift {policy. The Senator sald that Gov. Smith four years ago had denounced the protective system as “a cold-blooded hold-up of the American peopls in the interest of the few.” Mr, Borah also declared tha: Senator Robinson, the governor's running mate, had been a consistent opponent of tariff protection | during his senatorial career. Both Democratic candidates, and Gov. Smith in particular, were charged by | the Senator with having been “converi- ed overnight” to the tariff on the ground | of “political expediency.” Mr. Borah | also_disclaimed declarations made by the Demacratic candidate a week ago in | Louisville that the Republicans had ! given the farmers the benefit of the tariff protection and that President | may register and vote for the coming election without having paid a poll tax for any year, This decision was based upon the constitutional amendment re- ducing the constitutional requirement of time necessary for one to be continuous- ly in the State before acquiring a resi- dence from two years to one year. The 1924 laws of the State of Virginia, uPon which the registrar is evidently relying. do not contain this constitutional amendment. ‘There is no doubt of your eligibility to vote on November 6 if you have complied with the law with re- spect to registration. The fact that your duties require your presence on a Government reservation would have no more effect upon your residence in Vir- ginia than as if you were absent in| Government service in the District of Columbia, provided, of course, that you have acquired a residence in that State. SEES I0WA FOR SMITH. Democratic Leader Says Farm Re- volt Is Almost Unbelievable. NEW YORK, October 20 (#).—R. F. Mitchell of Des Moines, chairman of the Towa Democratic State central commit- tee, declared at Democratic national headquarters here yesterday that “‘there is no question but that Yowa will go for Gov. Smith.” “The farm revolt in Towa against the Republican party is almost unbeliey- able,” he said. CRITICIZES SMITH FORINACCURAGIES |Colladay Scores “Careless Use” of Data Regarding D. C. Appropriations. Gov. Smith was criticized for “care- less use of inaccurate information” re- | garding appropriations for support of the National Capital by Edward F. Col- laday, the Republican national com- mitteeman, in a radio address from Station WMAL yesterday afternoon. Mr. Colladay called attention to “the highly erroneéus statement” of the Democratic candidate for President in his speech at Sedalia, Mo., Tuesday night, in which he is quoted as saying: “Let us take the District of Colum- bia, which is a city run by the Federal Government. In the first year of the Harding adminisiration it cost the peo- ple of the country $21,921.000. In 1928 it jumped to $40,058,000, almost 100 per cent increase, and this in the face of | the Republican claim that cities and | o municipalities of the country outside of the District of Columbia were responsi- ble for destroying the effects of alleged Federal economy.” Expenditures Omitted. “The fact is,” said Mr. Colladay, “that certain special forms of xependitures are omitted from Gov. Smith’s 1921 figures and are included in his 1928 figure. For 1921 he has omittcd $2,442,000 trust fund expenditures, and to get his large figure of $40.000,000 for 1928 he has in- cluded therein $5.557,000 of these same and similar funds. If the trust fund {and similar expenditures are included lin both years the 1921 figure is $25.- {395,000, gainst the 1923 figure given (by QGov. Smith of $40,000,000. This | leaves an actual increase of a little over fourteen and one-half million dollars in seven years. “Let us see what this 1s made up of. Tn 1921 the expeditures for public schools were_$5,018,160, in 1928, $12.- 232,899, & difference of about seven and one-quarter million dollars, so that al- most exactly one-half of the increase from the correct amount for 1921 to the | correct amount, in 1928 was to provide | for sending your children to school Criticized School Increase. “Thus through the careless use of inaccurate information Gov. Smith has unwittingly criticized the necessary n- crease of _appropriations for public schools, which I am sure he would not have done knowingly, for we have only {to turn to his Oklahoma City speech in which he plumed himself uoon his va- | rious accomplishments as Governor of New York, and especially upcn having + increased the appropriation for public schocls for the State of New York from |eleven and one-half million dollars in n he became governor to eighty-sixx million dollars in 1928. That was an increase in nine years of almos. 700 per cent, whereas the increase in the Districtof Columbia has been not quite 150 per cent. “But the greatest inaccuracy in his quoted statement is in the words in ) Which he says.that it costs the people |of the country 21 million and some-odd | dollars in 1921 and the 40 million and | some-odd dollars in 1928. In 1921 the Federal Government paid 40 per cent of the cost of running the District of Columbia outside of the trust funds I have mentioned, and the taxpayers of this District paid 60 per cent and the trust funds. Therefore the amount paid by “the people of the country” was $8.- 768.000. For 1928 and four years prior thereto the Federal Government has paid out of the funds of the people et large only $9.000,000 per year towards the expenses of running the District of Columbia.” i Mrs. Mary Day Asks Divorce.

This was the second time during the | campaign that Akerson had taken cog- | nizance of attacks leveled at the Re- publican nominee. Hoover and his as- sociates at general headquarters | have been silent under assaults from the cemp of the opponents on cam- paign issues, and this silence has been | | broken only when matters were brought | up which in their judgmeiit had nothing | to do with the campaign. The first statement issued by Aker- son was after Senator Bruce, Demo- crat, Maryland, had stated in a speech that Clarence Darrow, noted criminal lawyer, has sald he had had a drink | with Herbert Hoover. The nominee's | assistant said Hoover had not taken a drink since he became a constitutional officer of the United States Govern- ment, and subsequently Darrow denied that he had said he had drunk with Hoover. Hoover himself is keeping clear of these matters as he is determined not to engage in controversies. He also | has refrained from any statements re- garding “whispers” said to have been | circulated about him as he does not | {1 | feel he shouid dignify them with formal | notice. However, when a statement | was sent out on the official stationery | of the Republican national committee | urging women of Virginia to save the | | country from being “Romanized,” he | ]g‘ulckly repudiated such campaign tac- es. - Text of Telegram. Akerson’s telegram, sent yesterday, | follows: “‘Honorable Theodore G.

Mr. Borah made a plea that the presi- dency should not be intrusted to the Democratic candidates, who had been “recent converis” to this system, while Hoover's attitude on the tariff was of long standing. Reiterating his charge that the pro- hibition stand of Gov. Smith was in- stigated by Tammany Hall and repudi- ated the dry plank of the Democratic Houston convention platform, Senator Borah declared ihat Southern Demo- cratic leaders “were fighting for their lives,” because independent Democrats are “unwilling to surrender to the dic- tation of Tammany.” Do You Know How to VOTE BY MAIL?

There is no tax requirement for voting in Indiana, nor is there any provision for voting by mail, that law having been repealed by the last ses- sion of the legislature. . Q. In 1914 I voted in the State elec- tion of Illinois, in Chicago. In 1915 I registered for the presidential elec- tion, but was {ll in the hospital on election day, and thus unable to vote. I have been away from Illinois for 10 years. When I left the State it was with the intention of returning, but unforeseen circumstances prevented me. I should like to know if I am entitled by the record to vote by mail in Chi- cago and, if so, to whom I shall write for further information?—J. M. R. A. The Illinois law requires that e permanent abode is necessary to con- stitute a residence within the mean- ing of the provision of the Constitution, requiring a residence of one year with- in the State; however, if you are in Government service, you would not have lost your residence, on account of absence, but, granting that you are eligible to register and vote in Chicago, you are too late for this election, as the last day for absentees to file affidavit of registration was Monday, October 8, at noon.

I have applied for registration and am awaiting the receip of blanks or forms to the registrar before my registration, can be completed. Will you please send me a reply covering my rights to vote that I may show it to the judges on election day?—Miss K. M. 8. ‘A. ‘There is an operation an opin- fon rendered by Attorney General Saun- ders, to the effect that any one moving fnto’ the State after January 1, 1927, Hoover had danced with a colored woman. “I did not say that as a direct state- ment coming from me,” Gov, Bilbo said. “What I did say was that that state- meni, was made at a public rally held i Jackson some time ago.” Shown a copy of the telegram from Akerson, Gov. Bilbo said he did not care to comment further until he re- celved the message dispatched to_him from Hoover's assistant. Gov. Bilbo indicated, however, that he would reply. Denial of the statement that Hoover had danced with a colored woman at Mounds Bayou was contained in a gram {rom George Akerson, assisiant o Herhert Hoover, which branded as “unqualifiedly fals2" a statement said o have been made by the governor that statement released here yesterday by 1.
