RELIGIOUS ATTACK CHARGED T0 MOSES Raskob, Issuing Document Assailing Smith, Says Senator Put It Out. B the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 3.—John J. Raskob, Democratic national chairman, yesterday gave out copies of what he said was the pamphlet sent by Senator George H. Moses, Republican Eastern advisory chairman, to Zeb Vance Wal- ser of Lexington, N. C., with the request | that Walser obtain its publication in North Carolina newspapers. ‘The document released by Mr. Raskob | comprised substantially a summary of | the arguments used against Gov. Smith on religious grounds in the campaign ‘To this document, Mr. Raskob said, Senator Moses in an accompanying let- tgfl to Mr. Walser referred as “red hot Proof Is Regquested. ‘When the copies were distrtibuted at & press conference Democratic leaders were asked what proof they had that this was in fact the document sent by Senator Moses to Mr. Walser. The re- ply was that, should authenticity of the document be challenged by Republican STAR, WASHINGTON, D 'lznden. “we may have something more In releasing the document, Mr. Ras- kob said. “When this umpa!g started every one throughout the South and West knew that an appeal was being made to incite religious hatred with a view to defeating Hon. Alfred E. Smith for the presidency of the United States by rea- son of his being a Roman Catholic. The people in those sections also knew that the Republican party was aiding and abetting the Ku Klux Klan and other anti-Catholic organizations in this work. This was strenuously denied by the Republican national committee, but as the campaign progressed, there was abundant evidence, mostly under cover, that they were assisting in the work, ana here in the closing days of the campaign the evidence is finally dragged out into the open in the form of a let- ter which United States Senator George H. Moses, in_charge of the Eastern ad- visory committee of the Republican ria- tional committee in New York, wrote to the Hon. Zeb Vance Walser of ‘Lexing- ton, Ky..' inclosing an article for put- lication in_North Carolina, which he termed ‘red hot stuff.’” Releases Article Text. Senator Moses states he does not re- member what article he inclosed. In order that the people of the United States may judge for themselves the extent to which the Republican national committee has gone in this work, I am releasing this article for publication.” Entitled “If This Be Whispering——." the document stated that Gov Smith was “desperately playing bigotry and other personal issues” because he had none other. “Gov. Smith belongs to a church which holds adulterous every wedlock not favored by its Pope,” the document read, “which brands as bastardy cvery birth not blessed by its book; which denies sanctuary even in man'’s last long home, the grave, save it be hallowed in the dead language of Rome. “So to hold, so to believe, is a privilege under the Federal Constitution and, for those so constituted, under the human constitution. But from one o holding, from one so believing, the cry of bigotry is a whine of hypocrisy and an ‘insult to the intelligence of the American peo- ple’. When Mr. Smith adds to that whine of hypocrisy the snarls of ‘traitor’ and ‘treason’ he insults the patriotism of the American people.” Sees Smith Beaten. k, |* Declaring that Gov. Smith is already beaten “because he is seeking the presi- dency on a ward politician’s platform,” the writer charges Gov. Smith with having raised a religious issue to hide behind it. “For years, for generations, for cen- turies,” the article continues, “millions of Jews and of Protestant Christians have endured from millions of Roman Catholics the hateful epithet of ‘heretic’ * * * but those millions of Catholics were too kind to say ‘bigot,’ too strong to say ‘traitor.’ It remained for Al Smith, mis- taking a ward heeler’s brown derby for a statesman’s halo, mistaking courtesy for cowardice and deference for dumbness, to lay on the patient Protestants and Jews of this country a name that will not stick because it does not fit. “The reverence and the charity won by the courage of a Father Ryan and the gentleness of a Cardinal Gibbons will not cloak an Al Smith’s Fourteenth street effrontery.” Declaring that Gov. Smith pulls “Re- publican dry policies out of a Demo- cratic brown derby and Democratic wet promises out of the Republican ex-Gen- eral Motors silk hat,” the writer attacks his farm relief and waterpower and his stand on the tariff and predicts that the South will destroy the Demb- cratic party rather than elect him. “Mr. Smith, appealing for the tradi- tional Southerf support of his party, is appealing to traditions he never even heard of,” the document states. “* ¢ * The South is not going to dig- nify the little brown derby or the little brown jug by taking up arms against them. The South is, going to do a far more tragic thing—it is going to destroy its party. ‘Echo Joe’ Robinson is an innocent bystander.” In conclusion, the writer predicts that Smith will be defeated and that the de- feat will end his political career. “Weighted with the flattery of false friends, millstoned with pity,” the doc- ument ends, “Smith sinks vaguely into history, a dying party’s last sigh.” Room Papered With Stamps. A boy residing in Edinburgh has his room papered with postdge stamps, nearly 150,000 stamps having been used for the purpose. The apartment meas- ures approximately 13 feet 6 inches by 11 feet 10 inches by 8 feet 9 inches in height. A framed and paneled doar about 6 feet 10 inches in height gives access to the room, and even the inside of this door with its six panels has come under the decoration scheme. The ceiling is the only part of the interior which has escaped the decorator’s handicraft. The stamps used form a varied extensive collection of all na- tionalities. —— Automobile factories of Australia are to be federated.
