THE EVENING WORLD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1922, } Fourth Ward Boy WhoBecameGove Picturesque Life Story of ‘‘A1” Smith. by Martin Green. Al Smith went into action. He aston- ished Mr. Root, Mr. Wickershain Judge Clearwater and the Republican leaders by his grasp of tho question of State Government and by the depth of his knowledge of law governing State Government. At the clove of the session Mr. Root said that he consid- ered Al Smith the possessor of an amazingly logical mind who would have been a leader in the legal pro- fession. HIS ARGUMENT ON PUBLIC UTILITIES, The outstanding performance of Al Smith in the constitutional conven- tion was his two-hour argument on public utilities legislation, Without any preparation, without a note or reference to a book or document he recited the history of public utilities legislation in this State over a period of sixteen years, and study of the record later showed that he had not made a mistake of fact, figures or dates. His argument was against fastening the Public Service Commis- sion in the Constitution and in favor of continuing it asa statutory bureau. One of the most interesting debates of the convention was that on the amendments offered by William Barnes of Albany, which were de- signed to prevent legislation of a social welfare nature and require that such measures as the Workmen's Ccmpensation Law and the Widows’ Pension Law be incorporated in the Constitution of the State. Half an hour was allowed to each speaker in the final debate. Mr. Barnes and Judge Clearwater advo- cated the amendments and Mr. Wick- ersham and Al Smith represented the position. or nen Mr, Wickersham was called upon he talked on the subject only five minutes, Then he said: “qT yield the remaining twenty-five y minutes of my time to Mr. Al Smith How the East Side Boy Studied and Knew Men and Questions From Every Part of the Commonwealth Corned Beef and Cabbage Dinners Had Much to Do With Extending His Wide » Acquaintance Corrupt Practices Act, He said: When a man ts tempted to breaks the law the first thing he asks himself is: ‘What will happen to me if 1 dot When he discovers that te cannot fined or put in jail he goes ahead | breaks the law.” 2 “What you mean,” intersupted Al, “is that the Ten Commandments uro of no effect if a man duesn't Lelieve in hell,” In the course of the debate in the Constitutional Convention on the Barnes amendments Al suddenly gave his definition of democracy, It was an occasion when the discussiun had got into the political bunk stage. T wisdom of our bygone statesmen wh formulated the laws of the lang bes fore there was a steam engine, @ steamboat, a telgraph or telephone, an automobile or an aeroplane, had been extolled and the danger of invad- ing those laws had been emphasized, “Mr. Chairman,” suid Al, are getting away fréfn ov government. Apparently preaching * for a retyrn to the Americon tdeal, we aye ourselves, by the force of our argument, drifting in the other direc. ton. BOUT Al's public service as an Assemblyman the public is very well informed. During his first few terms the Citizens’ Union bulletin criticised his votes on some matters of party policy, but always observed that his personal integrity was unques- tioned\and his usefulness as a legislator was increasing. In the last half of his twelve years of service he,was seldom criticised, even by the violently. Republican press. There is no use in going into the details of such a record as that. More stories are told in Albany during the sessions of the Legis- lature wbout what Al Smith said or what Al Smith did on such and such an occasion than have ever been told about another legislator. He broke up so many debates with a few words and blew up so many bills with a sarcastic remark that everybody who served with him remerpbers something to talk about.
