NASHVILLE, Tenn., October 26— Herbert Hoover will bring “‘cocktailless” days to the United States if he is elect- ed President just as he brought wheat- less and sugarless days during the World War while serving as food ad- ministrator, Mrs. Mabel Walker Wille- brandt told a Nashville audience last in urging Southern Democrats to “principle above party.” Mrs. Willebrandt also ridiculed Gov. Smith’s immigration plans and de- nounced his Tammany Hall connec- tions. Gov. Smith's prohibition plan would “put white aprons on the States and make them serve as bartenders,” Mrs, ‘Willebrandt said. 5 A flood of immigrants from Southern Europe would pour into this country if Gov. Smith’s immigration plan were ac- cepted, she said. Mrs. Willebrandt, who was introduced by Jeft McCarn as “the most outraged and cruelly treated woman in America,” completely ignored a set of questions asked her by Nashville Democratic women dealing mostly with prohibition.

MADISON, Wis., October 26.—Sena- tor Robert La Follette, Wisconsin Pro- gressive, said today in a signed state- ment in La Follette’'s Magazine that “enther Republicans nor Democrats are an record in favor of principles for which the Progressive group has fought.” “The issues I have mentioned (water power, farm relief, labor injunctions, corruption in public service and ‘abuse of presidential power in Nicaragua') are in the presidential campaign not because of the courage or patriotism of either of the old parties,” he said, “but because the Progressive Republicans and Progressive Democrats co-operating as a group in Congress have forced them out in the open and compelled their consideration at the polls.” He stated that he had ‘“disassociated myself from the Republican national ticket and platform throughout the campaign” and that Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York has made “public declarations and definite commitments which are in substantial accord with the Progressives’ views on water power, farm relief, the injunction in labor dis- putes, corruption in public service and abuse of presidential power in Nicara- gua.” If Mr. Hoover is elected “and under- takes to carry out the Coolidge poli- cies,” Senator La Follette said, or if Gov. Smith is victorious, “the people will have to rely on the Progressives in both parties to guard the national re- sources of the public domain from such interests as the power trust, to provide equality for agriculture and to protect wage earners from denial of their con- stitutional rights.” — WILSON SHRUB PLANTED.
