Nampa, la., Oct. 25.—Senator W.l-
i’Lam E. Borah, Idaho, Republican,
fteclared in an address here tonight
t'lat a speech last night by Alfred
! 1. Smith was “one of the most ef-
ective speeches yet made in this
'.ampaign far Mr. Hoover.”
Senator Borah asserted the for-
"oer New York governor, in an ad
dress at Newark, N. J., had propos
ed to “leave the dry states to be
overrun by the litjuor traffic.”
Speaking before a gathering in
the Northwest Nazarene college au-
ritorium here, Mr. Bprah said that Shoppe,
Mr. Smith, in his address in New
ark, suboialinated all other questions
to the one question:
“Give us beer, give us something
to drink.”
“One of the most effective speech
es yet made in this campaign for
Mr. Hoover was made last night by
the distinguished ex-governor of
\’ew York, Mr. Smith,” Senator Bo
rah said.
“Many sincere men and women
have been in doubt in this cam-
paig’n owing to the attitude of both
parties on the liquor question. But
Governor Smith removed that doubt
■with a vast number of people. He
denounced as bi.gots, cranks, hypo
crites and intellectual crooks all
■w'ho are not in favor of tearing
down all barriers against the return
of the liquor traffic. He says to
them in so many words, there is no
place for you in the Democratic
party.
“The million.s of sincere and pa-
Announcement was made here
Saturday that the county commis
sioners would donate $200 toward
the dinner for the war veterans at
the celebration to be held in Smith-
field on November 11. Since this
amount will not defray all expenses
for the dinner, the committee states
that contributions from any of the
various towns would be appreciated.
Veterans who wish to may pay for
their tickets.
All ex-service men are requested
to regi'ter _and get tickets for the
dinner. Tickets may be secured at the
following places: Stallings Sundry

er, Pine Level. No tickets can be
secured after November 5, because
the committee in charge of the din
ner mu-t know by that time how
many to prepare, for.
The hour for the dinner has been
changed, and will be served at five

Wilmington, Nov. 1.—Rev. Arthur
J. Barton, D. D., chairman of the
executive committee of the Anti
saloon League, charged in a state
ment issued here that election of
Franklin D. Roosevelt to the pres
idency would mean turning the gov
ernment over to Alfred E. Smith
and his liquor policies.
Hundreds of thousands of dry
Democrats who fought Smith and
“booze” in 1928, but who have been
supporting Roosevelt this year,
should have “their eyes opened” by
Smith’s recent Ne-wark speech. Dr,
Barton’s statement said.
“The sham battle is now entirely
plain,” he continued. “If Mr. Roose
velt goes to the White House, A1
Smith ami his allies and cohort-^
with their advocacy of unlimited
floods of booze and everything else
for which A1 Smith stands will be
largely in control of the affairs of
government. It is fortunate that Mr.
Smith has come so fully, so boldly
and so boozily into the campaign.’
The statement described Smith’s
“impotent rage” again.-^t dry organi
zations and his “tirade against
evangelical Christians as intolerant
bigots” as “typical of the type of
bullying and hectoring we shall have
in Wa-hington if the voters of the
nation should decide to put the
White House in charge of the
troopers of Tammany Hall, the most
brazenly corrupt political machine,
in the world.”

incubator and reared around a

lowed to touch the ground until they
were eight weeks old. Losses to date
are below one percent.
The i)a.'t -week some Winston-
Salem Democrats applied to the
secretary of state at Raleigh for a
charter for an organization of
young Democrats to be known as
“Repeal Hoover.”
J. A. Bolich, Jr., seems to be the
active member of the organiza
tion the others it is presumed mere
ly signing the charter application
as three names are required before
a charter can be granted.
At any rate Bolich whose hold
ings are advertised for taxes by the
Democratic government of Forsyth
county is off in an airplane tour
trying to put his ideas across. It is
repoi’ted that he will go as far west
as Lincoln, Nebraska.
When the airplane arrived at Ra
leigh to get its charter Tom Bost,
propfietor and general manager of
the Raleigh Rumor Factory got so
excited that he immediately wrote a
w'hole lot of “bull” to his Greens
boro News about Lon Bolich, Win
ston-Salem real ertate man, whom
Bost took to be Bryan Bolich,
Rhodes scholar and now a professor
in law at Duke University.
Lon Bolich never saw Oxford
University nor has he ever been a
member of the North Carolina Gen
eral Assembly, yet Bost had him
doing all these things and soaring-
through the clouds. This news
though is about on par with many
other of the Raleigh Rumor Fac
tory’s fulminations. He dreams
things and next morning believes his
dreams are the truth and fires them
to his newspapers who print the
stuff. It is noticeable though that
Host has steered clear of the Sali.s-
bury Gregory famaly since young
I,ee Overman Gregory told him
where to “head-in.”
The organization says its prin
cipal business will be to tribute
“printed" propaganda” and the first
shot out of the box it insulted and
maligned the President and "Vice
President of the United States.
“The only hope of salvation of
the down-trodden, deceived and dis
contented public,” the charter said,
“is the defeat, elimination, eviction,
repeal and repudiation of the Anglo-
Chinese dam builder, Herbert Hoover,
and of the illustrious descendants of
Chief Rain In the Face of Sitting
Bull, Charlie Curtis, from any
shadow of control of the political af
fairs of these United States.”
This wa.s a little too much for the
Greensboro News to ' swallow . and
that paper condemns the “indecency
in strong terms as follows:
“Incorporation of the ‘Repeal
Hoover’ movement fostered by the
Young Democrats of North Carolina,
if the charter granted actually con
tains the verbiage ascribed to it
by some of the Raleigh reports, is
little short of a state disgrace. There
is in politics some excuse for cheap
horseplay, and the advertising meth
ods of both majority party manage
ments just now stands convicted of
a cheapness which is little short of
nauseating; but charters granted in
the name of this state bear the
stamp of approval of a common
wealth which tries to think cleanly
and do justly. ^
“The purpose of the ‘Repealists
as given in part declares itself to
be for the ‘eviction,repeal and re
pudiation of the aforsaid Anglo-
Cbinese dam builder, Herbert Hoov
er,’ and of the ‘illustrious descendant
of’ Chief Rain in ’ theFaee and Sit
ting Bull,— that will be Vice Presi
dent Charles Curtis—‘from any shad
ow or vestige of control of political
affairs of these United States.’
“There is more in the same strain,
but the foregoing excerpt is suf
ficient to condemn the thing as in
decent and wholly unworthy of a
place- in the pubUc records of this
state. If and how there may be
censorship of such things we do not
kno-w; possibly the office of the
secretary of state could not refuse
the charter if accompanied by the
prescribed fee. But the leadership of
the Young Democrats could have
prevented such an ill-timed piece
of written rot from appearing to
jar the sensibilities of all voters who
think of the ballot in goverument
and' self-inprovement among the
electorate.

Washington, Oct. 30.—Further ex
pansion in volume of employment
during September was reported to
day in the monthly industrious in
formation bulletin of the federal em
ployment service.
“A careful analysis of the various

ward trend in operating time, as
well as in numbers engaged ,in many
manufacturing establishments.”
The service reported gains in tex
tiles, “satisfactory operations” in the
leather shoe factories; maintained
employment in Shipbuilding yards;
coal mining condition improvement.
A turn for the better was noted
in the .-till much below normal iron
and steel industry ,and increased
emplojnnent in railroad shops was
attributed to increased freight move
ment on several systems. Automo
bile, tire and many other manufac
turing industries, however, were said
to be still' on part-time schedules
with curtailed forces.
“Under the stimulus of funds
made available by the emergency
relief and construction act,” it con
tinued, “there was a considerable in
crease in the volume of highway and
bridge construction which provided
employment for thousands of addi
tional men; 33 states reported over
260,000 men engaged on this type
of work alone and many new con

Democratic negroes are going to

day night of this week. Among the
speakers who are billed to address
the meeting is Frederick Q. Morton,

who is much wiser, is the one to

to try to profit by them. This “De

ed the nation billions of dollars by
suggesting the one-third cut in all

from all countries were in Geneva
jabbering about some “scientific” re

government from a great loss of

his “straight from the heart” talks
to the American Legion in Detroit.
That great body of American Le

having a comeback. She is_ getting
on her feet again. No doubt, thru
the tactfulness of our great leader
the world has been spared the perils
of -war. But, unless he is re-elected,

is- he in favor of saloons and all
the filthy mess that the Volstead
Act does prohibit. Mr. Hoover, like
the rest of us, wants a change for
the better and not for worse.
Mr. Roosevelt may be a good
man, but in my opinion the wrong
man for the Presidency. Under such
conditions, he cannot make a suc
cess, unless he changes his domin
ant attitude. He is not tactful; in
fact on the contrary. His “too soft”
answer to Al Smith s outburst
showed him to be a cunning man.
He was too anxious for a “hit
with the world. He is desperate for
the Presidency. He is trying to lead
the people to believe that the repeal
of the 18th Amendment -will bring
back their jobs, homes, money, and
booming times again. Franklin D.
Roosevelt is secretly for Tammany,
yet, openly against it. In all the
time that he held office as Governor
of New York, he made no move to
oust Mayor Walker, nor any efforts
to appear against him in any way,
yet, as soon as he needed to be* in
favor of the eyes of the nation,
acted to down the name of a
“Brother in Tammany.” Mr. Roose
velt lacks tact, he is inexperienced
in international problems. In my
opinion, he is not capable of under
taking such a task in this critical
time. He will, no doubt, keep his
eyes open for 1936, and who wants,
a prolonged “depression” Hiram
Johnson of California, claims to be
a Republican yet won’t support Mr.
Hoover. Everybody knows what is,
wrong with him. He is jealous, and
still sore because through his hog
gishness in 1920, lost all hope of
ever becoming President. If one
can’t be true to his country and
party, the Republicans don’t want
him, so, the Democrats may have
him.
Don’t forget the old policy: “dont
swap horses while crossing a
stream.” This stream is a difficult
one with many undertows and to
change horses now would mean^ to
go back and begin all o-yer again.
