. AMERICANS MAY WIN-§4,000000 Capture 46.96 Per Cent of the Prizes in Irish Sweepstakes. By the Assoclated Press. DUBLIN, October 24.— Lucky Americans tonight stood chances of winning nearly $4,000,000 as the two- day draw in the nineteenth Irish Hospital's sweepstakes ended. They captured 46.96 per cent of the prizes drawn from the “drum of for- tune” in the Mansion House. These, on the law of averages, will give them nearly half of the $8,044,825 prize fund. A rough calculation showed, how- ever, that even with this flow of wealth, American “investors” in the lottery spent far more than they will receive. Cost Exceeds $6,356,000. Total receipts in the sweepstakes were $13,636,455, of which Americans were estimated to have contributed more than $6,356,000. In the two-day draw, Americans won 1,222 prizes out of a total of 2,602, Today's winnings included five cash | residual prizes worth £896 ($4,480) and 752 consolation prizes of £100 ($500)y These were in addition to 465 tick-| ets drawn yesterday on horses in the | Cambridgeshire, to be run next week in Newmarket, England. Each of the tickets drawn on a horse is worth £593 (8$2,965). Tickets held on the horse which wins the Cambridgeshire will be worth £30,000 ($150,000); on the sec- ond horse, £15,000 ($75,000), and on the third horse, £10,000 ($50,000). Minimum $1,650,000. As it is, American ticket holders have already qualified for a minimum of $1.650,000, a sum which on the law of averages will be swelled to nearly $4,000,000 when the race is | run. At the conclusion of the draw,| establishment of an endowment for medical research from the sweep- stakes’ fund was announced. Officials stated at least £10,000 ($50,000) annually will be set aside for a research council to be appointed by the Irish Free State. They emphasized the council's work would be international and its re- sults would benefit “the whole world.” FIVE MORE HERE WIN. —— Dozen Are Assured Prizes of $500. = The luck of the draw in the Irish Sweepstakes favored ‘Washingtonians Nearly water, N.

Regardless of what their horses do, the quartet holding tickets on starters will get at least $2,965 each. Smith (Continued From First Page.) Deal which has ground out the pol- icies, handed them to the President and thrust by him upon & subservient Congress in the name of emergency and the more abundant life.” Smith was introduced by E. Lowry Humes, head of the League for Jef- fersonian Democracy, one of the or- ganizations sponsoring the meeting. Purpose of Addresses. Smith said the purpose of the speeches he has been making against the Roosevelt administration was “to prove that the men in charge of the New Deal in Washington are not Democrats.” “And furthermore,” he added, “that they have stolen a little of the Demo- eratic party and used it for promo- tion of every crackpot socialistic scheme that they have been able to think of.” Then launching into his attack on “Government competition with busi- ness,” he said: “As far back as I can remember the Democratic party at every national convention has raved at the Repub- lican party for its interference with business and one of the favorite slo- gans of the Democratic party has been in the past, ‘More Business in Government, Less Government in Business.’ “It remained, however, for our New Deal President to set that theory of democracy entirely aside and I sub- mit in all kindness and in all fair- ness to the American people tonight wherein your life did you see in any administration either Democrat or Republican that has interfered so much with business as the New Deal has in the last three and one-half years?” The plank dealing with business, he asserted, “was thrown out the win- dow the minute the New Deal went into office.” He quoted Rexford G. Tugwell, head of the Resettlement Administra- tion, as saying. “The Government is the senfor partner of business,” add- ing that “I want to say right now that | man,” Smith said, “and got him out | of the water, they also took his pants by taxation and other w J Turning to the unemployment prob- lem, he said the New Deal was trying to solve it without “knowing anything about it.” “They have never made any census of the unemployed,” he said. Coming back to the Government's relations with business, he said: “The New Deal has not helped busi- ness. It has retarded it. An atmos- phere was created hostile to business and hostile to banking for the pur- pose of carrying out reforms, as they called them.” “Government went into business in competition with business,” he as- serted. “Agencies set up by the Gov- ernment under the pretext of aiding recovery went into business in com- petition with business.” “They are using the money of the people of the United States to put the Government itself into competi- tion with business men who pay the taxes to run the Government,” he continued. Another instance, he said, was the use of W. P. A. funds in Minne- sota to put a private telephone com- pany out of business. “All Things to Al He sald the New Deal was trying to be “all things to all men” during the campaign. After the administra- tion had “banged away” at business for three and a half years, he assert- ed, “the President out in Chicago last week tried to square himself.” “Do you remember in the early days of the New Deal administration when every business man was black- ‘guarded and the terrible things were said about bankers everybody was ashamed to be a banker for a little while?” he asked. “There had been an atmosphere created hostile to business and hostile to banking for the purpose of carrying out the future intentions of reform, as they spoke of it, suggested by the brain trust. 5 “Why the President out in Chicago tried to square himself, he tried to square the New Deal with the busi- ness man and he brought him to his arms and embraced him and told him that the American.business man was all right, and, just as the great Teddy, when he referred to manufacturers’ lust he only meant the bad ones and that the good ones were in the ma- jority, and that therefore the Presi- dent proceeded to suggest to business men in Chicago that he felt very nicely toward them. “The next day he was in Detroit, and in Detroit, when he didn't have a national hook-up, he was just talk- ing to the laborers in the automobile factories, the business men were not s0 good that day. “You know, I picked up a paper here the early part of the month and I read this: The President was over in Jersey City and he was speaking 1 at the dedication of the Medical Cen- ter, and what do you think he said to the doctors? He said to the doctors over there, ‘The medical profession can rest assured that the Federal ad- ministration contemplates no action detrimental to their interests.’ “Now, what is the necessity for assuring a number of doctors when you meet them that the Government is not going to do anything to them? Now, you know no man walks up to another man in the street, and before he says a single word, notifies him that he does not intend to sock him in the eye. Listen—there is only one reason for that, and that is because everybody else that he met that day got socked.” Tonight's speech was the fourth made by the former New York Gov- ernor since he started campaigning against the Roosevelt admiristration the first of the month. It was his second speech in Pennsylvania, Smith is scheduled to make his final address the New Deal is no senior partner of my business.” The audience booed when he men- tioned Tugwell’s name. e referred to.President Roosevelt's n § of the campaign at Albany, N.
