Five A As the achedule now stands, the governor will make only rear plat- form appearances tomorrow and to- morrow night at Richmond, Va., and Ralelgh, Greensburg, Salisbury and Charlotte, N. C., and devote Friday 1o receptions and conferences with prominent democrats at Chattancogs and Nashville, Tenn. Asked yester- day regarding reports that he might make an address in Nashville, Gov. 8mith sald he preferred not to talk ahout that. The governor left Albany intend- ing to make only one address this week, and it was believed by those close to him that he will stick to ditions. Although they are dwellers within our bogders, they have never yet really come into the United States. Evil Forces Manifest “We have provided by our insti- tutions for & genuine method of self-government, but there are many of our people who, through indif- | terence or inability, are not receiv- ing the full benefits of such a sys- tem. In the midat of a high pro- ductive capacity aud constantly ex- panding material resources there are yet those who, through ignorance or wisfortune, are not able to particl- pate to the extent of their deserts in our economic progress.

On his way down the Hudson, the presidential nominee took a f shots at Herbert Hoover and Benag Curtis in connection with their Muscle Shoals and tariff statements &and indicated he might discuss the tarift at Loulsville. ‘Asked at a press conference on the train whether he had read Mr. Hoover's quotation that he favored continued government ownership of Muscle 8hoals, the governor sald he had not but sought further enlight- ment as to what was said about who would operate the plant.

New Britain churches are equip- ped only for preaching services and not for religious schools, he said. One other problem is that of home influence, according to Rev. Mr. Dunn. He advised his hearers to take under consideration the fact that cooperation in the home is es- sential in religious"mstruction, He pointed out that the family prayer seems to have passed away and with the coming of the radlo “we never gather around the piano or the old organ and sing hymns any more.” Another thing necessary, he said, is a faculty whose members are equipped with convictions of the truth of the spiritual things with which they are concerned.
