Indians Starving Nearby Chairman Work of the re- , publican national committee, while he was secretary of the interior in which he was quoted as having said the governmept was trying to feed Indian children at the rate of nine cents a day per child and a state- ment once made by Secretary of War Davis calling attention that housing facilities for the American voldier amounted to almost a “na- tional disgrace.” ‘This, he sald. was a fair example of what the republican party had done in the way of reducing the cost of government. He then directed a Question to Mr. Hogwer, Does lie approve of a national economy that starves out the Indian children and neglects to provide proper housing, sleeping and eating facilities for the country’s very first line of defense? 8 he see these pictures in their true light? “If he does not,” he declared, “then I will be prepared to say he does not understand the operation of government.” Governor 8mith charged Mr. Hoover with making a “misleading statement” when he said in his ac- ceptance speech that “by rigorous cconomy federal expenses have been reduced by two billion dollars per annum.” “He knows just as well as I do, and just as well as you do,” the democratic nominee asserted, “that the difference between the 1921 e penditures and the 1927 expenditures of government is the difference be- tween the cost of operating govern- ment in time of war and in time of peace.” Real and substantial economy, the gevernor declared in concluding his address, which was punctuated by yells of “Fight 'em AlL” “Pour it on ‘em AL" could be brought by a re- organization of the old broken down structure of the federal government, by the abolition of useless boards and commissions that overlap and duplicate efforts. Promised Many Times This, he sald, was promised in 1921 under Harding, in 1924 under Coolidge, and agin in 1928 and re- iterated in Mr. Hoover's speech of ucceptance, but “'so far as any liv- ing pcrson is coucerned there is no | sign of his gettinng any part of it.” “Real economy cannot be brought about Ny re-organization of the gov- ernment.” he declared, “but by care- ful planning, not for today, but for the years to come. “Real economy cannot only be brought about by reorganization of the government,” he declared, “but by careful planning, not for toda: but for years to come. “While 1 agree that not a single dollar of public money should be wasted, 1 still make the cold, raw statement that there is no economy in keeping back necessary funds for the proper needs of the government. It simply gets you over today. It is a kind of process of trying to live through these four years with the hope that you may get some place in the next four years. Governor Smith said the “myth of republican economy,” had its birth in the republican campaign book ot * 1924 when it proclaimed in *“glow- Ing terms” savings which were “technically although not actually, true.* In 1921 when the republi- cans came into power, he said, the nation was still paying “very dear- 1y for the war costs and naturally there was a drop in expenses in the succeeding ycars.” As “part of the false picture” of economy, the governor quoted Under Becretary Mills of the treasury as having said over the radio that the government spent $1,835,000,000 less in 1928 than in 19 The republi- can national committee also was quoted as having said that while fed- cral expenses were belng reduced, New York state expenditures were almost tripled. No Denial “Why did they pick out New York state,”” the governor asked amid lavghter, and added: *I have ex- plained the increase in the cost of government in New York state and 1 challenged any republican in the state to come out and meet me in any public place and deny it, but up Do Your ALY S > . <) Sav Too Much’, Dark Eyes Tell Dark smidtoindicate depth of char- Shtoc St easeprienally st » to tonight not & peep.” Attacking Director Lord of the budget for having once said that by careful spending the administration was able to come within $48,000,000 of reducing the cost of government by two billions, the nominee said he could not understand how a man of Mr. Lord’s ability could make such a statement. He then proceeded to outline some of the savings which the budget director had mentioned before a conference of governors which he attended. He said the di- rector had described great savings by having pins, paper clips and pencil stubs taken from waste bas- kets, and as a result of taking the blue stripe off of mail bags. “Just think of taking up the time of the government printing office circulating literature of this kind,” the governor said. Continuing, he said republican &conomy claims were “destroyed by their own frank admisslon,” in this | year's campaign book that more | money is being expended to operate | the government today than was spent three or four years ago.” Liquidated Into Cash “Now, we have the republican party in that first picture claiming the credit for the reduction of over two billions,” the governor said at another point, “but saying nothing at all about the $2,600,000.000 worth of property purchased during the ‘Wilson administration and liquidated into cash during their administra- tion.” While the executive department appropriations, including money spent for the White House, were $210.000 in 1921, they jumped to 686,000 in 1927, the governor said, Lut he made allowances for a new roof on the president's home. Th year, however, when “no new roo was needed, the appropriation was $528,000. He said it had cost the federal government $21,900,000 to “operate the city of Washington in 1921 as compared to $40.000,000 this year; the department of agriculture $143,- 000,000 in 1924 as against $158,000,- 000 this ye: the commerce e- partment $25.000,000 in 1924 as against $31,000 000 in 1928; and the | | treasury $117,000,000 four years ago | ‘compu\red with $144,000,000 thisi year. | WOMAN'S CLUB FORMALLY | OPENS AUTUMNAL SEASON Reception Is Held at Y.

In that same election they car- ried Texas, for instance, by more than four to one, and Georgia by 10 | to one. It was in the cards that the democratic leaders of the border states, with their narrower margina of safety, should feel the impact of the yanti-S8mith movement more deeply than some of their southern neighbors. As in the other dry southern states, many Protestant ministers have enlisted against 8mith in Ken- tucky and Tennessee and are at work with an evangelical fervor @mong their congregations. The im- posing list of those who refused to follow the party nominee includes such influential chuchmen as Bishop H. M. Dubose of Nashville, ranking ofticial of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, in Tennessee, and E. Y. Mullins, president of the Baptist Theological Seminary of Louisville, The charge of religious prejudice has been made freely and there is much open dispute over the pro- priety of political speaking from'the pulpit. The republican organization, the anti-Smith organization and many of the preachers have denied the religious charge, and have listed | prohibition and Tammany as prin- cipal considerations in the fight against Smith. ' The politicians find it difticult to gauge the effect of those activities, particularly among the women. The situation does not readily lend itself to the ordinary processes of politi- cal analysis. How large a percentage of his congregation a minister may be expecied to sway on a political issue, and how large a “silent vote will emerge on election day te sup- port the tenets preached Sunday after Sunday from the pulpit are questions which many political lead- ers the country over are pondering. Here on the border, the democratic organization js making direct efforts to offset this influence, and demo- cratic women's clubs are at work in most of the counties to gct to the polls every woman who can be mus- Mseva s canel Brissbes tered for the party ticket. In Kentucky the democrats are Lopeful of the offsetting influence of several factors which have come into the picture late in the ecam- paign. Senator Barkley, an oUt- standing dry leader, has returned to the state after a long absence and | Las taken active charge of the fight | for S8mith. Another democrat, for- rier Senator Beckman, who has been through many state fights on & bone dry platform, came out a few days ago for the party ticket. 8o did former 8enator Camden, a pillar of the politically powerful jockey club. A year ago Camden quit the state! | ticleet on the race track issue, Andl help elect a republican governor. The Tennessee democrats rest | much reliance on Senator McKellar, long a champion of the dry cause and a populay figure in the state. He is a candidate for reelection and fs | campaigning for Smith. Other con- | shicuous members of the Smith or- | Banization. inciude Representatives Hull and Byrns, who are among the ranking democratic members of the | house. Hull is a former democratic | national chairman and received the | i support of his state at Houston for the presidency. | There is no general agreement as to the issues involved in these states. But both in Tennessee and Ken- tucky the democrats have devoted | | large part of their campaigning to| a denial that Smith's election would | give the Catholic church undue in- | fluence at Washington. | In the coal country of eastern | Kentucky they have blamed the re- | publican administration for the lake | | cargo coal decision, which they de-| scribe as an injustice to Kentucky | | miners and mine workers.. Here | land < in the neighboring state of | West Virginia, the republicans have | replied that sole respovsibility for | this decision rests with the non-po- | |litical interstate commeree commis- | ! sion. | | Neither Kentucky nor Tennessee | has a large foreign element, and the | Hoover cumpaigners in both states | have been charging, and the demo- |crats denying. that Governor Smith | favors a material liberaiization of | the immigration laws. In both states prohibition is argued warmly and both sides are asking the support |of the negro. In Tennessee the dem- | ocrats are giving much promise to | water power and Muscle Shoals. The general parallel in political candidates in these two states holds g0od to a degree in the geographical | distribution of party strength. Each Ses-esesecasy eeere i mvmsnay is normaWy republican in the east and normally democratic in the west. Tennessee democrats rely on Memphis and the nearby territory te help offset the republican majorities of the eastern mountain districts. With such assistance as can be se- cured from the more debatable mid- state counties, Louisville, however, has been a notable republican oasis in the democratic stretch across middle and western Kentucky. 1t is one of the few cities of its size in the country claimed by the republi- cans this year by an overwhelming majority. Bombs Explode Again In Chicago War Zone Chicago. Oct. 17 M—Explosion of four bombs in widely separated parts of town broke the otherwise calm of last night and early today in Chi- cago. Three of the bombs were directed at tire and battery shops. The fourth shattered the front of the Kennard shoe store on Roosevelt road. Owners of the places bombed were unable to suggest a motive, but in the case of the Tllinois Bat- tery Service, police saw the hand of labor racketeers. Other bombings were the Speed- way Tire Service, Inc., and the Tire Service and aBttery Shop. Total damage will run into several thousand dollars police estimated.
