Roosevelt addressing a Democratic rally in Brooklyn last night, assailed Repub- lican campaign tactics, which he char- acterized as bombastic, slanderous, defamatory and untruthful. In particular, he criticized allegations made against him in a radio talk by Secretary of State Stimson. He said the Secretary had joined in a campaign of falsification concerning his integrity and motives, and promised to “expose the hypocrisy of the Republican campaign” in an address tonight. Speaking from the same platform, former Gov. Alfred E. Smith ridiculed the Republican stand on prohibition as an attempt to straddle the issue, and declared the party in this State had opposed pr’cuc-lly every progressive que 1n theyears he had been in poli- cs. He referred to a I!peeeh made by Cal- vin Coolidge last night, in which the former President said he would not talk about issues and that “issues have a way of disappzaring after the election.” “If I were to cite any less Republican uuthomy than that you might question it,” Smith said, “but he knows—and I WooDWARD & LOTHROP LO™ 1™ F anp G StrEETS Your Unusual Christmas Cards Should Be Selected Early Every year when you receive unusual Christmas cards you wish you had seen them first and you resolve the following year to get sumethmg new and different before everything is “picked over.” Woodward & Lothrop’s selection of original Christmas cards solves your problem—but we advise an early selection, as everyone will want these cards. 5c to ]| Boxed Christmas Cards In a Wide Selection Box of 18 Christmas Cards, each bearing an original greet- ing—other boxes with 21 cards, including parchments and etchings—others with 16 cards. 50¢ the Box of 16 hand-colored etchings cards with individual s $1 the iments.
