SMITH WARMLY GREETED ~ BY THOUSANDS IN JERSEY Democratic Candidate Ac- cuses . Republicans of Trying to Fool the Peo- ple on Campaign Issues. New York, Nov. 1 (P—With a dash into New Jersey where he criti- cised his republican opposition for what he characterized ‘“fooling of the people” on ali the big questions of the day, Governor 8mith hap wound up his campaign away from home. From now until election ‘day, he will concentrate his efforts on his home state of New York, with its 45 electoral votes. Speeches in Brooklyn tomorrow night on the state issues and in New York city Saturday night will con- clude the governor's appearance be. fore large campaign audiences. He will make & radio appeal from his suite in the Hotel Biltmore on elec- tion eve after Herbert Hoover has had his final say to the voters from Palo Alto, California. Jams Armory Addressing an audience that jam- med its way into the 113th regiment armory at Newark last night, after having been acclaimed by thou- sands of torch-bearing well-wishers during his trip by automobile through Hoboken, Jersey City and other points en route Governor Smith tore into the republican cam- paigners in sarcastic fashion, par- ticularly as to their arguments on labor and farm relief. He attacked Mr. Hoover's speech made in the same armory several weeks ago and assailed Charles Evans Hughés and Senator Borah, th> mention of whose names brought boos from the audience. Hughes, he said, amid laughter, should have been the republici candidate instead of Hoover because he was “doing more to elect the re- publican president than the nominee himself.” Exaggerated Statement He said Hoover had made an *ex- aggerated statement” when he de- clared in Newark that real wages and standards of living of our labor have improved more during the past seven and a half years of republican | ! | workingman as well as the Ameri- rule than during any similar period in the history of our country.” ('redit for such conditions was given to Woodrow Wilson by the demo- cratic nominee. After challenging figures from the opposition camp on unemployment and assailing the republican plank on labor injunctions, Smith said his own program called for the “neces- sary appropriation to the depart- ment of labor” to enable it to make adequate surveys on unemployment so “this question of veracity as be- tween officials” will never arise again, He said he was satisfied the American people were *not wedded te a policy of holding back public works in order to make a false showing of economy.” 4 Wants Study Wurthermote, he was *distinctly in favor of a/thorough study of the methods of industry, the newly adopted methods of industry. 5o that we may be able to absorb the sur- plus labor that is releascd because of the introduction of modern ma- chinery.” Smith termed the republican plank on labor injunctions ‘“‘mnean- ingless” and ‘“senseless,” and said the democrats had promised a definite remedy “by law™ to end “the existing evils.” As for farm relief, he said the re- publicans were in a “panic” and he attempted to prove this by relating how Governor McMullen of Nebras- | ka, and Senator Borah had gone to Washington to “plead”. with Hoov- er to favor an extra session of con- greas to deal with this question. Talks of S “The care of the exportable sur- plus crops,” said the governor, is the underlying, fundamental question behind constructive farm relief, and Mr. Hoover is unalterably opposed to that." Smith branded as a *cold-blooded insult” to the working man a cir- cular which he said he had been reliably informed was sent out to national committee for insertion in the pay envelopes of mill and fac- tory workers and which stated “the pay coming to you in this envelope is from two to ten times as much as you would have received for do- ing the same work in Europe.” Praises Cleveland Governor Smith praised Grover Cleveland as “one of the greatest presidents of the United States.” Cleveland's widow, now Mrs. Fran- ces Preston, was on the platform. *Talking about fooling the peo- ple,” the governor said early in his address. “Let us devote just a few minutes to this question of prohibition. “If ever there was a deliberate at- tempt to becloud the issue, it has taken place in relation to the eighteenth amendment and the Vol- stead act. I know perfectly © ell that the president of the United States cannot amend the constitu- tion. Mr. Hughes dges not have to tell me that. I know that, and what is more, I know that he knows 1 know it. “Nobody in the campaign so far has made any such suggestion. What I did suggest was that I was American people for the purpose of trying to find a solution of that problem.” Raps Hughes In another reference to Hughes the goyernor said: “He himself responsible for the statement méde before the bar assoclation that T am a past-master in the art of politics. At the same time he says you cannot take the tariff out of politics. “According to his own words and according to his own statement'I am well able to take care of the tariff in the interest of the American can business man.” Pressed for time because of fre- quent interruptions and a late start due to difficulty in quieting the opening demonstration, the nominee Garden business houses by the republican! willing to take the leadership of thel NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1928 was forced to omit large portions of bhis prepared address near the end. Armory managers estimated that seats for 14,000 were provided. Whatever the capacity the seats were filled and hundreds more were standing. Many on the platform, jammed back to the wall and out of sight of the nominee, left before the speech was concluded. NEW YORK'S VOTE HOTLY CONTESTED (Continued from First Page) industrial world. Gov. S8mith and Chairman Raskob have given re- peated assurances that business has nothing to fear from a democratic victory in 1928. Democratic leaders feel it would be to their particular advantage to be able to say that, after a long lapse of years, New York again was willing to cast her vote for a democratic nominee for president. By the same token, the republicans are counselling business men not to trust the democratic promises, and not to let this much- relied-upon state slip out of the re- publican column. All of these causes combined, augmented by the divisions on pro- hibition, religion and other issues common to all of ‘the state, have made the campaign here in New York vastly more than a studied dis- play of political activity. The poli- tics now prevalent in this state is the kind that penetrates to the marrow of the bone. Whatever out- ward agitation there may have been —and there was and is plenty of it—is not to be compared to the work of quiet organisation which has gone on ever since the national | conventions, from one. end of the |state to the other. For the most part, this work on |the side of the democrats his cen- tered in New York city and in the larger cities upstate. In all of his | campaigns for the governorship, the |city vote has been the great rock of Gov. Smith's strength. The Tam- many hall organization here in the { metropolis has rolled up tremendous majorities for him, and in nearly every election he has run ahead of his ticket in such normally republi- can cities as Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse. The cities, and especlally New York city, are the centers of the wet sentiment of the state, and the home of those foreign groups whose votes have beem counted for 8mith in great numbers in every one of his campaigns. The republicans, on the other hand have organized upstate on & Flavor From the hili-top gardens of Ceylon and India come the teas used in the blend of "SALADA 'NO BUSINESS CAN IGNORE THE POTENTIAL PROFITS IN “SETTER DELIVERY" Y?

It can only be conjectured in what degree this qulet work.of or- sanization may be responsible for the increuse of mearly & million in this year's registration of voters. Both parties claimt an advantage un- der the new registration figures, which show that 3,029,514 are eligi- ble to vote in New York city, and 2.- 865,762 in the remainder of the state. The increase over 1924 amounted to 529,969 in New York city and 467,753 upstate. On the basis of these figures the republicans say they will hold 8mith’'s New York city majority within such limits that Hoover's margin upstate will overturn it with plenty to spare, Taking the mame figures, the democrats predict & 600,000 plurality for Smith in° the city, and declare Hoover will be far short of that many in the rest of the state. Jt seems certain that a very large percentage of the eligible vot- ers will be counted on election day for both democrats and republicans, in city and country, have made ela- borate preparations to get out the vote. Intermixed in some degree with the dispute as between Hoover and Smith is & state campaign of con- siderable warmth between Smith's close political ally Franklin D. Roos- evelt, the democratic nominee for governor, and Albert Ottinger, his republican opponent. One of the two speeches which the democratic presidential nominee still is to de- liver in the state is expected to deal with the issues of thd state cam- paign.—including the record of Smith himself during his four terms in the executive mansion at Albany.

Keyes Statement He made the following statement last night: “I really don't know what this is about. I was never called before the grand jury nor wa# there apparently any effort made to get anything but the statements of some outside parties. I understand that the names of some of the witnesses appearing before the grand jury on | which the indictments and accusa- tions are based, are people who tried to blackmail a man out of the money on the theory that they could do just what was done. “It is also significant that the party instrumental in producing these matters is a discharged em. ploye. “I expect to investigate and find out what this is all about and make a complete statement.” Fire Sweeps Thr;_ugh Northampton Station Northampton, Mass., Nov. 1 (P — Fire breaking out over the baggag: room in the railroad statie early sage and express rooms and the of- fices, menacing the main walting room before it was brought u:g:v contrpl.
