Smith's Ability as Executive New York, July (UP)—The comment of newspapers on the statement to the democratic nation- al convention by Governor Smith follows: New York Herald-Tribune—Gov- | ernor Smith has leaped into the breach in an effort to halt the harm. | His letter i8 a frank repetition of | his known attitude, and he is cor- | rect in assuming there is not contra- diction between the letter of the platform and his personal advocacy of modification. The platform com- | promise has gravely compromised the force and sincerity of his pros- | pective campaign for modification. xxx A vote for Governor Smith will be a vain gesture so far as practical modification {s concerned. xxx So far as prohibition is concerned the | happy varrior chts under damn- ing party handicaps, as the Houston platform ¢ -arly and fairly records.” | The New York Times—"xxx Gov- | ernor Smith in his prompt and frank | telegram to the convention puts the ! whole matter straight. He is for the prohibition plank, so far as it | concerns the sworn duty of the| executive to enforce the law. He is | also for the plank in that it leaves | him at perfect liberty to advocate, | and to recommend to congress if he is elected president, a change in the law so as to bring out of the present huggc-mugger of merely sporadic enforcement or entire dis- regard.” The New York World—"The tele- gram which Gov. Smith sent yester- day to the Houston convention is much more than the clear statement of an honest man's opinion. It is much more than a lucid declaration of principles on a flercely disputed issue. It is, of course, all of that. | Tt is, in fact, the best statement of the liberal position which has ever been made by any one in the space of one paragraph. But what gives it its great distinction is that for the first time in eight years a man is in sight of the White House who is in no way confused in his own mind as to what are the obligations of leadership.” The Boston Post — “We may be sure that Governor Smith's campaign will be one of vigor and frankness. { his hand at it.” i the banner of their His first act was to assure the dele- gates who nominated him that he is opposed to prohibition and hopes for modification.” Few candidates have been so courageous in meeting a tickling question. But that is the 8mith way. It may help him or hurt him—but he would not dodge.” Boston Globe “But it is ap- parently not the manner of the man (Smith) to pussyfoot on a matter which he knows everybody thinks about when they think of him. Will his forthrightness on this point prove a political blunder or yet to make his first tactical crror since he has been running for either the nomination or the ofiice”” Detroit Irce Press — *“In nomin- ating Governor Alfred .

The nomination o Smith is an adventure for the demo- | cratic party—an adventure impelled by a sharp edge of hunger [or power." Washington Post “Governor has he | | through which his special train W I will be greeted by | paid congratulatory tributes. | tary Smith, with his nsual directne has made clear his position in regard to prohibition He does not attack the 18th amendment but | confines his suggestion to “‘present | provisions and therefore it may b inferred that he wonld not recom mend repeal of the 18th amendment, | but would urge modification of the | enforcement law.” Cleveland Press — has put forth its best men The real significance of the nominations is that the rank and file | of the American peaple have won a | double-barrcled victory against the professional politicians and the fac- | tionalists. | Cleveland Plain Leader — Thni “Fach party two — e democratic candidate for president loses no time in declaring anew his position on prohibition.
