SHITH REQUESTS WONEY BE GIVEN New York, Jan, 17 UM—Alfred E. Smith, recent demecratic presidential | candidate.and former governor of New York, appealed to the rank and file of the democratic party by radio last night to help raise the §1,- 500,000 deficit that stands as an aftermath of “the Happy Warrior's defeat.” He spoke over a coast-to- coast hookup of 30 stations under the auspices of the national demo- cratic committee. His Mr. Smith announced that his contribution would be the gift to the democratic committes of his cam- paign speeches, for which he said he kad had several offers from publish- ers. A bound copy of the speeches, llustrated with photographs taken on his campaign tours, and publish- ed by the national committes with no profit from the former governor, will be sent to each contributor who sends in $2 or more. In making his appeal for funds, the former governor seconded the Tecont assertions of Governor Erank- lin D. Roosevelt that the demo- cratic .party needed more consistent national publicity between cam- Ppaigns, Urges More Publicity “Immediately following every na- tional election,” he said, “there is al- ‘way apparent a general lack of in- terest in the welfare of our party. It has becn the habit of the demo- cratic party ‘to function only six months in every four years. This is demonstrated by the fact that no attempt was made to liquidate the deficit left from the national cam- paign of 1924 until the spring of 1928. When the democratic party finds {tself facing a national con- vention, it begins to shop around the country for the place likely to put up the most money towards the Ii- quidation of the deficit. “More than that it has been the custom right along to have the party deficit taken care of by a compara- tively small group of people, and usually the small group has an in- terest in some particular candidate. This I hold to be an unwholesome condition for any political party, It tends to place too much power ex- actly where it should not be—in the hands of the few.” Asserting that he personally would regret the necessity of asking any small group of people to meet such a deficit, the former governor ob- served that there must be a great i ) NEVER SUCH One at any price. many people who can afford to send the national committee $100—a great many whe could afford §50—a great many $10 or even $5. Urges Progressive Pasty He urged that the democratic party be a progreasive, militant party and pointed of A he said. *Were it not for the vigi- lance of the democrats and progres- sives in congress, the whole shame- ful story of the oll leases might never have been told.” A political party, he amerted, *“that polls nearly 16,000,000 popular votes should be a tremendous factor in the politics of the country, and the strength and force of that great body should not be lost by failure to maintain an organization which would enable them to make them- selves heard and felt in the affairs of our nation.” Mr. Smith said there was “need at all times for real facts concern- ing gublic happenings.” “To produce and to publish such | material and {information costs money,” he continued. “There are two sides to many public questions and there are facts which ought to be fairly and honestly before the American people in the next four Gets Comfort Out of Vote “As a matter of fact, we have had immediately following the election a number of misleading editorials| printed in the republican press con- cerning the crushing defeat admin- istered to -the democratic party. ‘While it is true that our system of the Electoral College gave Mr. Hoov- | er an overwhelming victory, judging from the standpoint of the popular vote, the democratic party made the best showing in the since the second election of Presi- dent Wilson. “The democratic party, by its pro- pressive platform and its vigorous campaign, did more than its share to arouse interest in national affairs, as evinced by the fact that eleven million more people voted in 1928 than in 1920 and twelve million more than 1924. Notwithstanding the overwhelming republican ma- Jority in the Electoral College, the democratic party reduced the repub- lican majority in the popular vote by over a million votes in 1928 as com- | pared with 1924." In 1928 a switch of 8.8 per cent of the total vote would have given victory to the democratic ticket, the tormer governor said. Whereas in 1924 it'would have required a switch ot more than 15.2 and ‘in 1920 of ! over 13.1 per cent.
