SMITH'S RECORD
■i
Dear Mr. Editor:—May I indulge
on your good nature and broad policies
to reply to your leading editorial in
yoSr April 24th issue?
You charge Al Smith with beipg
'just a fellow wanting votes and afraid
to talk.' I* refer you to his inaugural
address of January Ist, 1927, and quote
you the following excerpt:
"Now, I have no idea of what the
future holds in store for nic. Every
in the United States has
some notion about it except myseUg
No nun could stand before thugM
telligcnt gathering and say tMHB
was not receptive to the
position the world has to give to any
S one. f ßut I can say this, that I will
do nothing to achieve it except to
give to the people of the State (New
York) the kind and character of
service that will make me deserve it."
There you have a man refusing to
sacrifice his dufv to his State for his
personal ambitious to rise tofgreater
position; and, at the same time, an ex
planation of his silence in regard to his
candidacy for the Democratic presiden
tial nomination When the opportunity
comes which will enable him ti give
time and labor to his presidential as
pirations and not neglect hiv dutie> as
governor of New Work, he will speak,
and the people will listen and under
stand.
Goverhpr Smithy ((salifications
must lie judged, as he desires. Irom
his administration of the affairs of New
York State. 1 dare 'say the majority
opinion of the citizens of New York
t State is that lie has been the Iwst gov
ernor in their history. Or how else
could one explain his four terms? The
-opinion iil4h» people i*.expressed in
their vote. Smith was elected to bis
first term by a pjurality of only 1 4,842
Two yeap laterhe was defeated by
Nathan L Miller, Republican, but ran
I.OJHI.W votes ahead of 'the presiden
tial ticket. In 1922 Smith ran against
Miller anil defeated him by an unprece
dented majority ,of .185,4.12 After tliat
came the presidential election of 1924,
and in* spite of the enormous Repttbli-

I WISH you could have conic
out last time. Jane," said
Nancy, as they drove to lite lionte
of a Kitchen Club mj-mUer. "We
worked out the nwst adorable col
or scheme for Mrs. Collins' kitch
en. That's the place we are going
this afternoon, to see how she's
finished it up. and to get some
new recipes. There's an inside
story to her kitchen which will
explain some of the things you
see there.
"Mr. and Mrs". Colli us have
just recently married. He was a"
widower with the worst little boy
you ever saw. Mrs. Collins is one j
of those motherly souls who can't |
let anything gti hungry. Stray cat, !
tramp or wliatevfr it is. it gets
fed it goes to her. She hasn't
said anything about it. But we all
think that her real reason for fix
ing ftp her kitchen is to get ,hold
of that boy. Her theory seems to
be that if she can make him com- j
fortable and feed him projwrly, j
he won't be such a problem.'

NOTEBOOK
Mrs. Collins' kitchen is really beau- j
tiful! She has tinted thr walls a deli
cate gray, wooduurk white Black and |
while tiled linoleum on the Hoor, Re- j
frigerator and - table, white —Kitcheu
cabinet, delicate gray. Sink and oil
range in white porcelain enamel, White j
Swiss sasli curtains with rrd dots!
Coffee, sugar, flour, and other |,
containers lacguered red, There's a red |
geranium in the window that com- |
pletes the coldr scheme. It worked
out beautifully!
Mrs. Collins has the prettiest oil
range I ever saw. It is all white por
celain enamel, with a design and burn
er arrangement like a modern gas
range. She says she uses simply a
damp cloth to clean it. I want a range
like it t
Rti Containers
These were all home-made, Mrs.
Collins says. She took old coffee cans,
lard cans, etc., and lacquered then
dried almost at
MM; but she aired th« cans before

' can wave Smith defeated the popular
" young v Col. Theodore Roosevelt by
108,561. In 19?6 the Republicans put
against Smith their strongest possible
: candidate. Ogden L. Mills, and Smith
5 wop by 247,478 votes,
i Smith could never have turned New
York from the Republican column to
[ the Democratic if his understanding
I had been confined to the great city.
I His triumphs would have been impos
• sible had he not CCiiprfticnded the
needs o( the Knottier cities and the ag
■ ricultural districts as well as he under-j
' stood those of the metropolis. It i*
\jworth notice that in 1926 Smith's vote
Hn tlje city fell off, while it increased in
W rural upstate.
Smith has always been the friend of
I labor. His closest advisers say a sure
> .way-to make'SmitJi mad is to accuse
" him of haviiig neglected the needs of
II labor. His great work on the State
investigating commission while
lie was an assemblyman before 1912
i /J
r ami the many helpful laws that result
| ed and were passed under the leader
s j ship of Smith in the assembly was an
. early indication of his - ideas along this
y I line Workmen's compensation laws,
( .! workmen health laws, minimum wage
laws, child labor laws, protective Jegis
lation for women, and State hoilsing
. laws attest to the aid he has given
labor. Each "f these movements was
| brought to success almost solely by
Smith against the solid opposition of
the Republican leaders. . ,
| His interest in the farmer i> attested
to by hi* removal of graft and politics
from the department of farms and mar*
kets and its reorganization along eflici
cut lines, by Ins support of agricultural
iair> and by his solid ideas as to fur
( tln-rihj; the efficiency and directness of
marketing, farm products.
You accuse Smith of being Tam
many bossed. The obvious fact is that
i ' Al Smith has risen to such eminence
. : that lie is no longer forced to obey
i the "commands of Tammany. He is
bigger than l amtnany. -This is prov
i en. among various other things, by his
Support of Mayor Walker against Tam
. litany's Mipport of Hylan in' 1926, and
by his refusal to run as Hearst's mate
t in 1922, despite Tammany's threat to
. discafd him unless be did. His victory
in that instance was the first definite
. j.atid lasting protif that the personal
i code of Smith-is a higher one'than that
1 of the system. bitterly op
posed hint, even with threats, until liTirj
, nomination by the Democratic conveh-
I lion in Syracuse that year, over their
! opposition. The. significant thing is
that Smith won the contest and went
back to Albany with obligations to
none Tammany had forfeited the pay
i incut of any. debts that lie might have
| incurred previously. Naturally, in the
light of Tammany's bitter opposition
rami almost blackmailing tactics in that
convention, Smith is cynical about ad
rice from fourteenth Street and gath
ers about him men and women he can
trust. From that be has been unfet
tered in following his idea that "law
and democracy ' is the expression of
what is best, what tits the present needs
of society, what goes the farthest to do
the greatest good for till' greatest uum
