DANBURY REPORTER Volume 55. EDUCATORS ON AL SMITH President Alderman of the Uni versity of Virginia and other* Express Their Views On Gov ernor Smith. Prof. Edwin A. Alderniar president of the University ol Virginia, and other educators i have recently expressed them ' selves on Gov. Smith as follows "Alfred E. Smith is the lead er of the democratic party, cho sen in convention assemblec with unusual unanimity. He i: fit to be the leader of such i party. No man can deny that bj character, ability and experience he belongs of right in the greai tradition of democratic leader ship, exemplified by Jefferson Jackson, Cleveland and Wilson. "I know Governor Smith per sonally, and I have studied hi* amazing and inspiring career uj from the city streets to his pres ent high position. 1 find him t be a brave man, unafraid of mer or issues, a clean and honesi man in mind anil morals, an ex ecutive of r»re gifts, a man ca pable of straight thinking, an sigularly free from prejudice oi demagoguery. No public man ol my lifetime suggests th j dema gogue less than Alfred E. Smith "I find him posessed of a gen ius for practical governmen; illustrated by a passion to know about things before acting upo. them, instead of acting first and learning about them after wards. I see in him a man of tht finest social conscience, under standing instinctively the prob Jems of the weak and the poor and bent upon justice for strong and weak alike. "Justice is to the statesman what beauty is to the artist— the essential thing.. Governo. Smith has the feeling for it What this man has done as Gov ernor of New York during eighl years, byway of humanizing and enriching and vitalizing the life of its people of all clas ses, is one of the finest stories in American public life, and tht fiercest partisan enemy conced es that he can hold up his hand* to all the world and prove that they are clean. "The spirit of liberalism, in stead of cautious stand-patism, his action. He is not a pussyfooter or a soft pedaler, but a chalenger of things as they are, seeking after new so lutions of difficult problems, a new and formidable personality in American public life. "1 shall, therefore, cast my vote for Alfred E. Smith, th« 3 duly accredited leader of tht party of my choice. I do not care to what church he belongs. I abhor the thought that a man's conscientious religious faith should form the basis of his po litical rights. To establish church allegiance as the crite ron of political action in Ameri ca is to strike a blow at the cen tral faith of this republic, which is freedom of conscience and the mind." Dean Gildersleeve Dean Virginia Gildersleeve of Barnard: "Nearly everyone—including my republican friends —seem to admit that Governor Smith is the very best Governor New York state has ever had. His knowledge of all the intricacies of our state government is un surpassed. He has simplified and improved the whole system, in the teeth of republican op position. He has made exellent appointments: he has shown himself a first-rate executive, and a man of extraordinary breadth of view, liberal and far sighted policies, courage and honesty. "These qualities should cer tainly make him an excellent president. Beyond these, I sus pect him of having a touch of real genius, of real greatness, which might make him a presi dent to be ranked with Lincoln. But it is not easy to recognize greatness when it is near at hand. "As a member of the teaching (Continued on page 4.) SNOW IS 8 INCHES ON MT.

LADY CANDIDATE FOR THE HOUSE L. L. Nunn Offers A Few- Words For Mrs. R. H. More field and Her Platform Of Economy. 10 the Voters of Stokes Coun ty: Being a silent voter of Stokes county for a number of years, and watching the great politi cal battle that is now being wag ed throughout the Nation, and will soon draw to a close, I feel that I would like to say just a few words in regard: to ont candidate that is running in our county this year. Being a Republican all m> life, some may wonder why 1 am taking the stand I am in this election, but fellow citizens the time has come when wt should all lay aside partisiar politics, and vote for the candi date that we think will do tht best for us and our county. We can help but very little what the two groat parties dc 011 the National issues, or wht they run, it does seem to nk that both parties were short 01 material for the National nomi nations, but we have to tak. what the Nation gives us. Bui fellow citizens, we can have i large say so in our county can didates, and I feel that it is oui duty to lay down politics, anc work for the very best govern ment we can have in our eountv This we can control and wt must control, and vote this year for the candidate who will do their duty, without fear 01 favor, or politics. The candidate we select foi the House of Representatives should be strickly non-partisan and not a politician. We hav tried politicians and we feel ir some instances we could havt done better, if we had lookei over our candidates with an eyt for business instead of politics before we voted. I feel that Stokes county this year could not possible gc wrong in voting for the House of Representatives and electing Mrs. R. H. Morefield, and if you will bear with me for a few mo ments I will tell you why. Right on the start I want tt say that I have not one word ol criticism to say against her op ponent, neither have I hearc one word of criticism from Mrs Morefield of her opponent, Mrs Morefield is by far a too high toned christian lady, to say any thing about anyone. She is ab solutely no mud slinging politi cian, and is making a smooth high-toned, clean campaign, ir the interest of the whole peo pie and not for a chosen few. The job does not last but 6( days, but in that 60 days things can be done that will affect Ut and our children, and the wel fare of our county that wil take untold time to heal. Somt would say I am opposed to send ing women down to Raleigh, bul let me please remind you, if sht did not do one thing but sil there and knit socks, she cer tainly would not hurt us a.- much as some have done. Stokes county will not be the first county to send a woman ti represent them in the Legis lature. Look if you please al Mecklenburg county, one of tin largest and richest counties ii North Carolina. Mecklenburg county has senl a woman to represent them it the Legislature for the last sev eral terms. The voters of Meck lenburg county were so wel pleased with their lady represen tative, that when she ran tht second time, although she ha( for her opponent one of tht strongest politicians in the Co and state, she beat him by aj overwhelming majority. Meek lenburg county will send hei again this year. She has not been partisian, and can not be pulled into any politica mire, but represented her whol county citizenship regardless 01 politics. Mrs. Morefield was not ir favor of women voting, bul (Continued on page 4.) | OCTOBER REPORT ON NIGHT SCHOOL Eighty-Three Enrolled With Average Attendance of 55 For the Month.

SIMMONS IS CANDIDATE Spoke Almost Three Hours In Raleigh and A Large Portion Of His Audience Had Left the Room When He Made the Dramatic Announcement. Raleigh, Oct. 25.—Senator F. M. Simmons climaxed an anti- Smith speech here tonight with the announcement that he would be a candidate for re election in 1930, after charging that Democratic nominees for State offices had abandoned their party's platform by sup porting Governor Smith. The Senator's tossing of his hat in the ring brought his audience to its feet with a cheer. ■ The veteran political leader had been speaking almost three hours, and a large portion of his original audience had left, when he made the dramatic an nouncement of his intention to face the electorate in the elec tion two years from now. A fev r minutes before, Frank 11. Mc- Ninch, chairman of the anti- Smith State organization, had warned him that he was over taxing his strength by speaking so long. Reviews Services 1 The Senator reviewed his own services to the Democratic Party at length as a prelude to his prepared address denounc ing Governor Smith for alleged repudiation of the party's plat form on prohibition and immi gration, and wound up with a criticism of the State party or ganization for stressing the nat ional ticket instead of the State ticket, although he asserted that the candidates for State offices in North Carolina "are not running in their party'* platform."
