. A " OMITH ADDRESSES STATE CONVENTION Umllu um {0 Retarn mmmnm: Boeb-ur. N. Y., Oct. & two-fisted attack on the New, York state Fepublican platform and an carnest plea to the voters who have elected him their .chief executive four times to return the democruts to pewer at Albany in vindication ot thelr ve policies, Governor Smith has sounded the keynote of a state-wide campaign that may, in the final analysia, have an important bearing in his fight for the presi- dency. i 2 M—With Addreming the delegates to the demecratic state convention here last night, the democratic presiden- tial nominee challenged statement after statement in the opposition piatform adopted last week at Syra- cuse, attacked the republican leaders of the state for alleged obstruction of his policies apd declared “not a single comstructive achievement that took place in the government of this state in the last six years had re- publican support until they were beaten down to the earth.” Deflant Attitude He said the attitude of the repub- licans of the Empire State was one of deflance, that they unjustly | & claimed credit for reforms sponsored and fought for by the democrats against a hostile legislature and that the record of progress could be con- tinued only by the election of the candidates to come out of the con- vention here. ‘Wants Repudiation “Irreparable injury can come to the state by any other course,” he said amid cheering by the delegates, “and 1 earnestly hope and pray that the sixth of November wifl be a vindication of progressive, demo- cratic policies and s repudiation of republican, stand-pat, reactionary policies.” Governor Smith stopped over here for the convention on'his way home from his western campaign. He planned to be in Albany by nightfall and to rest for the remain- der of the week. The programme for his second stumping tour iy in only a tentative stage. Party lity With party rupomlhmty as his text, on which he based his Helena, Mont., speech, the nominee last night picked at the republican plat- form item by item, reviewed what he said were the “facts” as to the legislative accomplishments of his administration and declared ‘“noth- ing would be more regretful than to let the record I have laid out before you tonight get the approval of the- people of the biggest state in the unien.” “It would in effect,” he sald, “be saying to @ political party ‘so To the Men ahead, it makes very little difference to the rank and file of the people where you stand on anything, take any wind of position you like and when the time comes, by the force of numbers we will send you back into office. Senator Moses “This is what it means, it means what Senator Mpses of New Hamp- shire, the. permanent chairman at the Kansas City convention, said: ‘Because’ there. are five million more republicans in this country than there are democrats we defy you, bring on your candidate and we will bury him.. We do not care whether his name is Brown, Jones, Robinson, or Smith. “This is the attitude of the re- publican party in this state; we have opposed these things, we do not betieve in them; they interfere with members of our party and we are in detiance of you; you have got to put us back because there are s0 many more republicans than there are democrats. At one point, the governor said he had looke very caretully through the republican platform for some- thing ubout the eighteenth amend- ment or the Volstead act, but found nothing because “we are In a great national campaign and they are quiet this year.” He brought much laughter and applause when he related a conver- sation he had had with a republican sepator in Albany during which he asked: “Senator, why does the assembly go through the empty performance of passing an enforcement bill every year when they know the senate is not going to pass it?” and the sena- tor was quoted as replying: “Well, you know, Al, you have now and then got to make a little gesture for the ladies.” “String the People” “Reducing this to ordinary par- lance,” the governor added, "It is occasionally necessary to string people. “They might at least have zaid ‘we endorse the sentiment of the republican candidate for president when he said that the eithleemh amendment is a noble experiment’.” Scores Davison F. Trubee Davison, assistant sec- retary of war in charge of aviation, and permanent chairman of the re- publican state convention, was plac- ed by the nominee in what he call- ed a “millionaire blockade group™ who tried to block his Long Island parkway system. W. Kingsland Macy, vice chairman of the Hoover- Curtis campaign committes, also came in for attack in this connec- tion, as well as Attorney General Ottinger, the republican candidate for governor. “He went out of his way to help the little group of millionaires,” the governor said, referring to the can- didate named last week. H. Edmund Machold, new chair- man of the republican state com- mittee, was another opponent the governor embraced in his assault. He was described as the “master mind” behind a movement to block state development of New York's ‘water power resources and having left “a lucrative office in the North- western Power comiany” to assume his recently acquired political title. Discusses Water Power “You can bid goodbye t. any state development of water power in the event of .republican success,” Gov. Smith said. “They will take it as a mandate from the people to lease it for fty years to a private com- pany.” The governor)began his speech by good naturedly” panning the band for playing “The Chocolate Soldier™ while he was being introduce by Representative Jacobstein. The band immediately made amends with “For He's a Jolly Good Fel- low.” The governor approached the convention hall to the fune, from another band, of “Oh, Come Let Us Adore Him." Recelves Big Hand He was given a tremendous ova- tion when he took the platform ana began by saying he was a little bit short on sleep, all even on meals and minus twe brown derbies as a consequence of his sojourn in the west.

DEVOY RECALLED HERE The death in New York city last week of John Devoy. editor of the Gaelic American, recalls his visit to New Britain several years ago in the interest of the Irish republic.
