IMMIGRATION VIEW OF SMITH DISPUTED Correspondence of Secretary| Davis and Chairman Ras- kob Made Public. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, October 30.—Western headquarters of the Republican national committee here yesterday made public a correspondence between James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor, and John K. Ras- kob, chairman of the Democratic na- tional committee, relative to Gov. $mith’s stand on immigration. Permis- slon for release of the correspondence was given by Secretary Davis as he through Chicago on his way to make a speech in Wisconsin. Mr. Raskob first objected to a speech at Attica, Ind., in which the Secretary said 2,000,000 foreigners were waiting to come to the shores of America, his stand being that Americans were inter- ested in how many the laws actually permit to enter and not the number waiting to enter. Secretary Davis re- plied that he could not agree and his figures were obtained from available statistics. Attitude on Quota. * A subsequent exchange of letters re- volved principally about Gov. Smith's attitude toward the 1890 quota basis for the immigration law. Quoting from the Democratic nominee’s speech of ac- ceptance, Secretary Davis said he thought it was fair “to assume the governor favors a restrictive immigra- tion law based on the 1910 or 1920 census.” ‘The Democratic chairman to that replied that the governor in his Ten- nessee speech said, “I do not favor any let-down at all—not in the slightest degree—in the present restrictive clause in the United States immigration act.” Secretary Davis then wrote Mr. Raskob: “I feel I have been fair in interpreting Gov. Smith’s attitude on the grave question of immigration. I fully believe his speech in New York in 1923" (committing himself as op- posed to restrictive immigration, accord- ing to Davis) “represents his real attitude on this subject, and that his statement to the contrary in St. Paul, Nashville and Louisville, together with explanations by yourself, Senator Rob- inson and others, are intended for po- litical purposes enly, which, as Gov.\ Smith said in Chicago, ‘is a great habit, of our public men. DISCOUNTS NORRIS VOTE. | CHICAGO, October 30 (#).—Samucl R. McKelvie, former Governor of Ne-! braska, declared in a statement released | yesterday by the Western hemdqummrsj of the Republican national committee that Senator George Norris of Nebraska, who has indorsed Gov. Alfred E. Smith, Democratic presidential candidate,"can- not lead the farmer vote, much less the women, into the wet Tammany camp of Gov. Smith.” “In the position he has taken, Sena- tor Norris parts company with the lead- ing progressives in Nebraska and other States, who are supporting Herbert Hoover,” McKelvie said. “Nebraska people are not unmindful that Senator Norris has not supported a candidate for President on any ticket for 12 years.” RASKOB CONFIDENT OF SWITH VICTORY Reviewing Reports, Demo- cratic Chairman Sees Defeat as “Next to Impossible.” By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 30.—John J. Raskob, Democratic national chairman, said today that “it is just next to im- possible to believe that there is any question of Smith getting this elec- tion.” Mr. Raskob returned today from Claymont, Del, where Gov. Smith was his guest over the week end. He had attended the Philadelphia meeting Sat- urday night and said he thought “the Philadelphia meeting, apart from Penn- sylvania, is indicative of the tremen- dous Smith sentiment all through the East.” ‘The Democratic chairman reviewed the outlook in the corn belt and dis- puted many of the claims made sev- eral days ago by Dr. Hubert Work, Re- publican national chairman. “I was just talking with Chicago,” Mr. Raskob said, “and the farm organi- zation people there say that Smith's strength is tremendous smong the farmers. I asked them particularly about Illinofs, . Missouri, Minnesota, Iowa and Indiana.” Regarding the outlook in ILinois, Chairman Raskob said that to quote the reports they get from that State would make one “sound foolish.” “I don’ like to say things they tell us about Illinois,” the .Jemocratic chairman said. “Mr. Peek and the others out there say that if they could believe the revorts that are coming from county farm organizations South- ern Illinois would give Smith a ma- jority without Chicago at all. The car- rying of Illinois is only a matter of turning over 450,000 votes.” ‘The chairman said he believed Massachusetts and Rhode Island were ‘absolutely certain” for Smith and that Connecticut_was “all right.” He said that if the French vote goes for Smith, the Democrats also will carry New Hampshire. Mr. Raskob said that oJhn W, Davis, who returned today from the South, reported Tennessee is safe for Smith and Kentucky also will go for Smith by a narrow margin. AUTO DRIVER ACQUITTED. Declaring the driver of a wagon “should have a light on his vehicle, es- pecially when intoxicated,” Judge Rob- ert E. Mattingly dismissed a charge of reckless driving against Jacob Mender, 1525 Rosedale street northeast accused {of collidthg with a wagon on Bennwngs road northeast, Saturday night. According to the testimony, Mender started to pass the wagon driven by William Sullivan, colored, when another machine, coming in the opposite direc- tion at a high rate of speed caused him to dodge back, striking the v.agon. The impact frightened the horse, causing him to bolt, dragging the diiver from his seat. ‘When Sullivan testified that he had a lady as a passenger on the wagon, and that she fell onc way and he the other when the Lorse bolted, the coust inquired if he were joy-riding. Later, when police testified that Sullivan was under the influence of liquor, Judge Mattingly dismissed the case. ~ THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

By the Associated Press. SALT LAKE CITY, October 30.—L. E. Dillingham of Mackay, Idaho, asso- clate director of the Western regional headquarters of the Democratic na- tional committee, in a statement yes- terday dénominated Senator Borah of Idaho “an inconsistent and insincere politician.” “Having known the Senator for many years, his inconsistencies and insinceri= ities are no surprise to me or to thou- sands of Idaho voters,” Dillingham said. “Senator Borah urges the women of this Nation to use their suffrage to de- ‘feat Gov. Smith to retain inviolate the eigteenth amendment and the Volstead act. However, in the Sixty-fifth Con- gress, second session, Senator Borah voted against the women's suffrage act, so that if he had had his own way then the women of the Nation would not be voting today. Is there not a lit- tle inconsistency here? “To cap the climax, and bring out his inconsistency to the point of absurdity, it might be added here that Senator Borah voted against the Volstead act on the floor of the Senate.

BERKELEY, Calif., October 30 (#).— An advertisement signed by 40 mem- bers of the faculty of the University of California, in which they indorsed the candidacy of Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York for the presidency, drew criticism from President W. W. Camp- bell yesterday. The advertisement ap- peared in the Berkeley Gazette. In a letter to the editor of the Ga- zette, the university president pointed out that 32 of the indorsers of Gov. Smith used their faculty titles in ad- dition to their names in the advertise- ment. This, he pointed out, they had no right to do, “since the constitution forbids the university or any of its representatives to take part in political campaigns.” However, any faculty member may indorse whom he pleases as a private eitizen, the president pointed out A Gov.

WHITE ATTACKS SMITH FOR HIS ‘TAMMANY MIND’ Kansas Editor Tells North Caro- linians Hoover's Background Is More American. By the Associated Press. HIGH POINT, N. C,, October 30.— William Allen White in an address here last night declared that there were no moral differences between Herbert Hoover and Gov. Alfred E. Smith and that the essential things which separate the two candidates are their back- grounds. Mr. Hoover, he asserted, has an American background and an American mind, while Gov. Smith has a Tammany background and a Tammany mind. “Tammany,” he declared, is “an oli- garchy, foreign in its nature to Amer- ican ideals as exemplified in Hoover.” ‘The Kansas editor spoke of prohibition as an economic measure designed to conserve the economic resources of the Nation even at the surrender of a little personal freedom. “Tammany has paid to this noble ex- periment,” Mr. White said, “the tribute of a horse laugh.

LACROSSE, Wis., October 30.—Pic- turing Senator Robinson as a bitter foe of the late Senator La Follette, Senator Smith W. Brookhart of Iowa said in a speech last night: “Joe Robinson is a regular of regu- lars and a standpatter of standpat- ters. He wears the Wall Street collar, and it becomes him well. He always does what Wall Street wants him to do and for him to claim progressive in- stincts is an absurdity,” he said. “When ‘Old Bob' was fighting for his political life in fhe Senate Joe Robinson was in favor of kicking him out and was one of the floor leaders in the fight to un- seat him. No man in the United States Senate attacked Robert M. La Follette more bitterly than did Joe Robinson in those trying days.” ‘Turning to a discussion of the farm issue, Senator Brookhart declared that “Herbert Hoover, through his experi- ence in handling ‘food supplies during the war, is better qualified than any other man to help solve the problems of the American farmer. s HELFIN STAND CJRIFIED. MONTGOMERY, Ala., October 30 (#) —Senator J. Thomas Heflin of Ala- bama was quoted today in a statement published in the Montgomery Advertiser as stating “So help me, God, I will vote against Al Smith if they read me out of the Democratic party and drive me from every Senate committee.” Although Senator Heflin has been ac- tive in attacking Gov. Smith in cam- Dfl-‘?l ddresses, this was said to be his first de ation that he would not vote for the Democratic nominee.

SMITH'S TRAIN, EN ROUTE TO NEW YORK, October 30.—A day’s respite between the political speeches of her husband and public receptions in her honor appeals to Mrs. Alfred E. Smith, who admits that she is feeling the strain of the near six weeks' cam- paign tour with her husband. She has nothing but a day of rest ahead of her today in her native city. From the moment she reached Balti- more for a 1 o'clock luncheon given in her hpnor until she left the city at mid- night on Gov. Smith's special train, she had many full hours of shaking hands, receiving flowers and smiling her- silent thanks. ‘With Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, widow of the last Democratic Chief Executive, she received a large ovation from the woman Democrats at the luncheon, and later when the two women were driven to the station to meet the gov- ernor. After an hour'and a half’s pa- rade, Mrs. Smith met a special group of women who had not succeeded in get- ting near her at the luncheon. After these guests were ushered out, 9-year-old Nancy Fowler, youthful poet, whose verses had attracted attention of the Democratic candidate early in the campaign, came to pay her respects to the wife of the man she had written a poem about, A CAMON SAYS WES ST AT HOLSTON Wanted Fight on Eighteenth Amendment, but Failed and Bolted, He Adds. By the Associated Press. RICHMOND, Va., October 30.— Bishop James Cannon, jr., of the Meth- | odist Episcopal Church. South brought | his fight against Gov. Alfred E. Smith | to the capital city of Virginia last night, | denouncing him for his affiliation with Tammany Hall and for his views on prohibition. Bishop Cannon declared that Tam- many Hall was an organization without principle, charging at the same time that Tammany was in control of the Democratic national convention at Houston. Gov. Smith’s telegram to the convention, read just before adjourn- ment, he characterized as a typical Tammany trick. Recalls Three Conventions. Tammany Hall was at the San Fran- cisco and New York conventions with wet planks, the bishop said, while he was fighting to prevent prohibition from becoming a party issue. Tammany also was at Houston with a wet plank, but withdrew the planks when Southern leaders made it known that they would fight the issue on the floor of the con- vention, he added. Tammany yielded, he said, because it didn't want any fight on the floor of the convention. Bishop Cannon said that the plank drafted by Senator Car- ter Glass at Houston saved the Demo- cratic party from the disgrace of op- position to the eighteenth amendment yand that he thanked him for it, though he doubted if the sidewalks of New York had the same feeling of thank- fulness. Asserts Smith Bolted. He then declared that Gov. Smith bolted the platform on prohibition and also on ration. Tammany, he continued, wanted to put Southern Europe on the sidewalks of New York because it could control the vote and continue its power. Calling_attention t6 a statement by Senator Glass that prohibition was not an issue in the campaign, Bishop Can- non expressed the opinion that it was the principal issue. How Senator Glass and Josephu Daniels of North Carolina can continue to say that prohibition is not an issue, he said, was more than he could understand. G. 0. P. TARIFF UPHELD.
