In this campaign which is now on lor votes for the two presidentialnominees, a great injustice is prevailing against Governor Alfred ft. Smith of New York, Democratic nominee for president. A few Democrats, or forme Democrats, and lots of Republicans, are accusing Governor Smith with many things whicli does him a do * tided injustice. Governor Smith is an outspoken' man, and does not deny being ;; Catholic, about which he says. I recognize no power in the institution of my church to interfere with the? operation of the constitution of the: United States or the enforcement of. the law of the land, and i believe in! the absolute separation of church; and stttty, and in the strict en-j forcemeat of the provision of U e constitution thai congress shall make of religion or prohibiting the fr Oxdreisie thereof." Governor Smith: has proved to lie a man of his word,, urxl any American snSuld foci safe in accepting his word at its face value. Governor Smith is tile Abraham Lincoln of 1P?8. Ho has gone no the ladder of success step by sic p. i leaving school at the age of twelve,: selling newspapers on Park Row, j supporting his mother and sister,! and he has now done more for tnan-j kind than many realize. It was Governor Alfred E. Smith J who fought the battle, while in thelegislature, for state aid to wid-! owed mothers, lie made, there, hisj famous speech in which he said that! the poorest home presided over hy i a loving mother was preferable to j the best: institution, and, as a result,,, the child welfare act was placed on I the statute, books of the state, pro-1 viding for jiensions for widowed mothers which would enable them to keen their children in the home. This in itself is enough to show that ho is a friend to those unfortunate ones) who need a friend and should cause j the consideration of every womant voter in the United States. Regarding the 18th amendment,.! Gov. Smith says in his acceptance] speech, "The president of the Ur.i-| ted States has two constitutional! duties with respect to prohibition.! The first is embodied in his oath of I office. If, with one hand on the', Rihe and the other hand reaching! up to Heaven, I promise the people j of the country that *1 will fanhful-' ly execute the office of president of, the United Stales and to the best of ; my ability preserve, protect and do-: fend the constitution of the United; States,* you may he sure that 1 shall, n?e up 10 mat oatn to the last tie-1 gree. I shall to the very limit tree-. cute the pledge of our platform 'to! make an honest endeavor to enforce! the 18th amendment and all other, provisions of the federal constitu-; tion and all laws enacted pursnantf thereto.'" Head what Henry Ford? said in an interview September (Jtlfl pertaining to our next president, re-1 gardiess whom, and the prohibition: "Everybody knows, of course, that; there will be no material change ip. the prohibition laws, no matter who is elected president. A president isj not sworn to change the constitu-1 tion. but to defend and enforce it.! It tykes two-thirds vote of both' houses of congress to submit a proposal for a change in the conscituV; tion and the legislatures of three-' fourths of the states to ratify itMore than two-thirds of congress; and more than three-fourths of -he; state legislatures are dry and there! is not the slightest prospect that this: condition will be materially changed." Mr. Ford is for Hoover andj this was taken from a pamphlet be,-: ing given out by the Republicans. The Ku Klux Klan has been cany; paigning against' Gov. Smith, and' recently a suit was filed in Atlanta, Ga., against Imperial Wizard Hiram W. Evans and other high ojlficiaijij of the klari, by C. T.

Let: some of lUcNineh's converts answer J these o.ncstions before they step' ip,to the nap that be is preparing! Hfr them. A vote for Hoover is an j Sndocsement of Fall, Qaugherty,) Den'oy, Forbes, Vure, Will Ha.vcs, | liovernor McCrsi.ry of Indians, audi numerous others of iiko quality,) several of whom have served prison j terms. How about nrriliihitioO pmOVma.1 ment-' Will he appoint any manj ".oifo is opposed to thy federal prohi- j bitioo law? Well, according to his own statement., he will. Hoover has stated that he will continue the policies of Harding and Goolidge. Now, just what did Mr. Harding do when that great jurist, Edward D. White, i was removed by death from the office of chief justice of the supreme; court? Did ho appoint, a man whoj favored prohibition? Most assured-; ly not. He appointed a ninr., who,)' after the prohibition law h?.<"; been] passed, made the following state-j nidi: , "I ant opposed to national prohi-' hitien. J am opposed to it because j I think it is a mixing of the national government in a matter Unit should j be one of lcea'i settlement. 1 think, sumptuary laws are matter's for! parochial adjustment. I think it will! vest in the national government, and ' those who administer it so great, ai power as to be- dangerous in political platters. . . . The regulation bfi the sale and use of intoxicating 15-' qtipr should he retained by thstates. . . . If the power of regulation is irrevocably committed to the general govern n-.ont 1 n.' ??vt : tion will live deeply to regret it." j This statement was not made by. Alfred E. Smith, although it shows; the same attitude as that great,; flank and honest man. but by tiie: present chief justice of the United; States supreme court. William Howard Taft, one of the greatest men. who has ever occupied that emi-' rent place. The words of Mr. Taft are found in two letters on prohibition written by Mr. Taft in lDltfi and first printed in the New Haven .1 ournal-Courier. It has been the cry of those op-' posed to Alfred E. Smith that hel would, if elected, appoint men on i the supreme court bench who would i seek to modify the prohibition law. ' Mr. Smith would be forced to search far ahef wide for a man who could be more in agreement with his views than Mr. Taft.
