On Wednesday, August 22, ( iovern j or Alfred E. Smith was officially . notified of his nomination for the; presidency. The ceremonies were heldj at the Stute Capital Steps at Albany and an elaborate radio hook-up made! it possible for them to be heard in! every section ot' theroimtry. More' than 100 radio broadcasting stations' sent out the Governor's words. Sev-| eral short wave stations carried the speeches to Ktnope, where they were re-broadcast. ' The exercises commenced after the playing of "The Star Spangled Ban ner," with Senator Key Pittman of J Nevada the first to speak. Senator [ Pittman concluded his notification speech, to which Governor Smith iv-j s ponded. Traffic was closed on all streets surrounding Capitol Park. Amplifiers carried the speeches to all parts of the park and to near by streets. Vast' crowds congregated to hear and see1 t the ceremonies. i The first of the week, in answering] the attacks made u|?on his record by William Alien White, Governor Smith went carefully and pai ticularly | over his entire legislative record, tell-! ing how he voted in each instance and) ifHsoa* bfcUotsj that he cast; and in answer to' the i charge that he has stip]>oried vice, he stated: "I am glad to have this matter j taken out of the whispering stage! and put into the open once and forj all I shall meet it now. I regard it, as purely jiolitical and when the! campaign begins, I do not propose 1 to have the issues of that cani|>aign befogged by controversy over irrele vant things such as the discussion of my votes as a legislator some twenty or more years ago. My record as an opponent of im morality is fixed and secure public ly, and by many letters in my pos session, the late Kcv. Canon John P. Peters, when chairman of the commit tee of fourteen, the leading anti-vice society of New York, repeatedly thanked me for my coo]?eration with that .organization.

White, with the approval of Henry .1. Allen, publicity director of the lie publican national committee. What a cowardly course the Republican na tional committee pursued! It issued a slanderous statement through its official publicity bureau and then alter its general publication in the press, attempted to evade responsi bility by the childish claim that it had been given out by accident. It is not fair play. An interesting side light, on the! Governor of New York's record is given in the following editorial from the Richmond, Va., News Leader: "It is odd that in all their quo- j tat ions from his many addresses and messages not one of A1 Smith's crit ics seems to have found space for these three sentences that appeared in his memorandum accompanying the repeal of the Mullan-Gage act: f. ? 'With all the earnestness that 1 j am able to bring to my command, let j me assure the thousands of people, who wrote to me on this subjec t .. ; . . that the repeal of the Mullan-j Gage law will not and cannot hv anv I . . * j possible stretch of the imagination bring back into existence the saloon,)' whii-h^igjMKl -ought to 4>e a defunct j institution in, this country, and any' attempt at its rc-establishmeent bv! a misconception of the executive at- j titudc on this bill will be forcefully >' and vigorously suppressed. *1 yield to no man in my reverence and respect for the Constitution ofi the I'nited Slates, and I advocate' nothing which will infringe u|ton the provisions of the Kighteenth Amend-, nicnt. It is, nevertheless, a tact that the definition of an intoxicating bev erage contained in the Volstead Act is not an honest or a common sense one. ' That language is explicit enough to admit of no cvavil: "The saloon .... is and ought to be a defunct institution;' "I advocate nothing which will infringe upon the provi sions of the Eighteenth Amendment." That was said on .Tune 1, 1923, and it stands today, but it will be news to many people. It is not the kind of quotation that the enemies of Governor Smith care to circulate."
