- SITH OPENS UP ON TEAPOT DOME Plings Down Gauntlet ol Party Respoasibility to Hoover Helens, Mont., Bept. 25 UP—Gov- ernor Smith turns eastward talay after having thrown a vigorous challenge to his repulican opponent, Herbert Hoover, to prove in the face of “corruption and crime” in hign government circles, the assertion n Hoover's speech of acceptance that the republican party's record during the last seven and a half years “constitutes a period of rare cour- age and leadership and constructive action.” Fourth Speech With party responaibilities as his text and & state mext door to Tea- pet Dome s his battleground, the democratic momines last night in his fourth speech of the campalgn in this valley capital of Montana, traced the history of the oil, veter- ans bureau and allen property cus todian dlsclesures, and directed a plea to the republican nominee, who he charged with sitting silently by during the enactment of this “story of intrigue and corruption. to show how <he can look back with any degres of satisfaction on that record. Govel mith delivered his speech r::ofi.. crowd that taxed the capacity of the 8hrine Temple and appleuded him at frequent in- tervals, especially when he conclud- od by saying that it “would be ex- osedingly harmful If the American people were willing to look back complacently over that past and call it a record of great accomplish- nt” * Senator Thomas J. Walsh, who rosecuted the oil inquirles, and ‘Quuor Burton K. Wheeler, who sad & leading part in the Daugher- thy.‘hlv“lm(lfln during the Harding- Coolidge regime, both Montanans, sat on the platform and both joined in the handclapping hl! important of the speech. ’“7}.::/‘:::" John Erickson of Mon- tana also sat near the candidate, who today atarts the long jump back to his native state of New York with two. more speeches on his schedule—at 8t. Paul Thursday night snd at Milwaukee Saturday ht. s M‘Amr attending the New York state -convention at, Rochester next Monday, he will return to Albany and rests the remainder of the week hefore taking the stump again. i Hoover Governor Smith opened his ad- dress last night with a reference to a dispatch quoting Mr. Hoover as telling & group of young students from Maryland that the new gener- ation “must begin now to take over the responsibility of the party and te carry it out.” He then recited the long history of the oil and other investigations, declaring the sworn imony that came out of the in- wh-tlm of the leasing of the oil reserves, was “a story of intrigue, of corruption, of trickery, and of chancery that has never been equal- led In all the history of this na- 3 ki ‘Not only did the evil influence of this whole deal contaminate the administration, but it disgraces par- ty leadership,” he asserted, adding that “nobody In the United States can say there is no party responsi- bllity for that. That's right on the doorstep. It couldn't get away if it tried.” . EANS / A wonderful ne\; kin with the real “b'aked-out-qf-'do |dver trom that party's 1920 presi- the record, the record of the past seven and & half years known to the republican candidate for president?” he asked, and then continued: “Why, there is not a single man in this country that knows it better than he does. He sat in the cabi- net of the president while all of th: was going on, and you can search that record from one end to the other, you can examine it in the minutest details, and you will:fail to find a single word of condemnation on his part.” Raps Mellon Governor Smith also trained his guns on the secretary of the treas- a#; whom he charged with “conceal ing knowledge” from the &senaie committee that traced $260,000 in liberty bonds, profit from the Con- tinental Trading company oil trans- action, to republican campaign cof- fers to help cover a deficit hanging dential campaign. “He was unwilling to become a party to that deal. he got the stench of oil, and he gave his check for $50,000, but declined to take the! bonda the governor said. “Honor- | able enough,” he added, “but this must be sald: During all the period that the senate committee was en- deavoring to unfold this crooked deal before the people of the United | States, he had the knowledge and could have given it. He chose to conceal it." | The democratic nominee was re- ferring to what he termed a ‘unique way of transforming oil into money, and making the money look clean, getting the benzine smell off it.” The chairman of the republican national committee had the $260,- 000 In liberty bonds, he said. *He offered them to prominent republi- cans in assorted lots, in accordance with the ability of the victim to meet the demand. And the promi- nent republicans got a present of $25,000 to $50,000 as the case may be, and In return performed the pa- triotic service of voluntarily giving checks to liquidate the indebted- ness."” “Strange to say.” Governor Smith asserted, “the names of the men approached were spied out by the committee from the handwriting of a dead man. Challenges Party If there was anybody in the coun- try who was ready to say that the republican party should bear no responsibility for this, the nominee declared, “they must be prepared to say aside from the guilt of indi- viduals or persons it is all right for a political party to fill its depleted treasury with the proceeds of of- ficlal corruption and crime." Declaring that the republican party “was able to convince the electorate four years ago that all of this guilt was personal, and that it did not run to the party as a party,” the speaker declared there could be no excuse now, “because since then we have some new disclosure.” He then related the Continental 0Oil deal revelations and a little fur- ther on declared, amid applause, that the people ‘would never have heard the end of it” if in 1920 the republican party could have “un- tolded a record of that kind against the Wilson administration.” “Would there be in any charity in their heart toward the democratic party?” he asked—and a voice in the gallery came back “not a bit." “Oh, 1 can imagine how the re- publican orators would rear against democratic corruption.” Smith con- tinued as laughter and swept the auditorium. “The demo- cratic misuse of the public mone: Democratic neglect of the mora duty toward the soldier.”” he con- tinued, “why they would be all applause | {army of the World W: wrapped up in the American flag and you would hardly be able to wee them.” Curtis Lost Volce Referring to the newspaper ac- count that Serator Curtis, the re- publican vice presidential candidate, had lost his voice over the week-end, the nominee said: “If he had been talking against the democratic party with that kind of a record he would have lost it a week ago. I believe,” he asserted near end of his address,” that it would be exceedingly harn:ful to the morals of the youth of the country if, in the face of that record, the American people on the sixth of November were to put their stamp ot approval on it. “It would be harmful if they were to agree that that record indicates moral leadership and progressive re- is form. It would be exceedingly harmful if the American people were willing to look back com- placently over the past and call it a record of great accomplishment. merican citizens, 1 belleve, irre- spective of party, will not approve of that record, but, on the contrary, | will use the power and influence of the ballot to rebuke the party that made it so that for all time there may be fixed upon a political party a gense of responsibility to the trust | that will prevent a repetition of the disgraceful acts complained of. Relleves In Success “And furthermore, 1 am satisfied that the American people will put a stamp of approval upon the unim- peachable record of the democratic party."” Governor Smith was introduced by Senator Walsh, who referred to him as ‘the most engaging personal- ity in American public life today." J. Bruce Kremer, democratic na- ! tional committeeman from Montana, | whao is accompanying the nominee on his tour of the west, closed last | night's meeting with a plea for the reelection of Senator Wheeler and the declaration that “the leadership of your party is In good and safe hands.” at An Honest Man “In his long public service, in- cluding four terms as the governor of the great state of New York.”! Kremer said, referiing to Smith “not one single republican has had the temerity to even suggest by in- nuendo that there was one single act of dishonesty in any of the va- rious departments of his state.” “If Governor Smith cannet stand | upon his record. T do not know | what he can stand upon,” he added. The nominee pald a tribute to Senators Walsh and Wheeler early in his address. “Let it be said to the everlasting credit of the state of Montana,” he sald, “that it produced the senior senator, Scnator Walsh, and his companion, Senator Wheeler, for the great part they played in bring- ing the republican party to the bar, of public opinion.
