The final article on Governor Smith will appear Wed nesday.) (By Robert Talley, NEA Service Writer.) Albany, N. Y.—The job ol mak ing "the new A1 Smith' out.pt the former East Side newsboy, fish market clerk, ward politician and 'Tammany Hall prodigy, began soon after he was inaugurated as gov ernor for the first time on January 1, 19J9. The blue blood of Albany's aris tocratic Dutch families, descend j ants of the original holders of the Van Rensselaer patents granted by the Flemish government in the 17tli century, boiled with rage at the in trusion. What a sacrilege? And they laughed when the new governor sent, out typewritten invi tations to the grand inaugural ball and when the new governor's fam ily, occupying a box at the fashion able Herman us Bleecker theatre, stolidly chewed gum throughout the whole performance. Says Henry F. Pringle, author of a recent biography oil Smith: "The inaugural bail was a strange function. As the governor-elect ap peared in his box, the band played Hail to the Chief' and then a series of melodies of old New York . . . . It was the assortment of guests that made the party not a little grotes que .... Tammany Hull had turn ed out in full force and there were hundreds of neighbors from the old East Side*. . . . who rubbed elbows with the Dutch aristocracy of Al bany, which had condescended to attend in order to smile behind its hand at this roughneck who had be come governor .... Tom Foley cir culated around, shaking hands in discriminately and beaming that the young man whom he had assist ed to rise in life had already done so well." Governor Smith soon found'that a governor's job requires something more than mere ability. Social duties and a certain amount of dig nity, polish and culture devolve upon the governor of a great state like New York. Such is part of the job, part of the game. It did not take long for a man with the keen intelligence of A1 Smith to recognize this fact. He be gan immediately. He toned down ins Jtess, ire became 'more careful with his East Side slang when in public, he submitted prepared copies of his speeches to the news paper reporters with the request that they revise them and “take out the fish market language," It was a long, hard job for a man whose education had been left oil before he was 15, whd had come up in the atmosphere of the Bowery and who had done little or no read ing. But Smith was a born actor. He watched -others, profited by expert ence, and t (day his dignity, manner and speech on public occasions an* above reproach. Such was the be ginning of “the new A1 Smith.” The secret of A1 Smith's tremen dous personal popularity that has enabled him to be four times elect ed governor of a normally Repub lican state is easily explained. It is because A1 Smith knows human na ture—not through books on sociol ogy and other subjects, but through contact with people. When A1 Smith thinks of human hunger, for example, he does not think of it ir. terms of calories but in terms of empty stomachs. He knows the affairs of New Yoili state better than any other man has ever known them. due to ins years of hard work in the assembly, and he has the knack of interpret ing them so the average man-on the-street can understand. "When I'm talking about a ho. - pital bend issue." says Governor Sulim, • I don t present a string of financial statistics that nobody but a deputy comptroller can under stand talk about beds. Everybody knows what a.bed is. It feels damn good after a hard day’s work " Governor Smith prides himself on the fact that he doesn't use “court of appeals language” in explaining; his points to his audiences. The Harding landslide of 1920 swept the Democrats out of office in New York and Smith went down in defeat, running nearly 1.000.000 votes ahead of his ticket arid miss ing re-election by a narrow mar gin. He retired from public life for the first time since 1903 and enter - ed a private trucking business. In 1922, Smith became a candi date for governor again and was elected. He has held the office ever sirice. The 1922 campaign saw a renewal of the bitter personal feud between Smith and William Randolph Hearst. the publisher. Hearst want ed to run for the senate on the ticket which had Smith as a guber natorial nominee, and certain Tam many leaders exerted much pres sure to gain Smith’s consent. Hr steadfastly refused, recalling that in 1919 Hearst’s newspapers had ac i cused him of being responsible . for | New York City's poor milk supply. I Returning to Albany as governor m 1922, Smith resumed the urging ! of those policies that he had in augurated in his first term. These (included, among others, a consoli dation of the state's numerous btf | reaus and commissions into 18 close | lv-knit, responsive bodies; the hb | eralization of the labor and work | men’s compensation laws; continua jtion of the building of highways on | a strict business basis; passage of a $300,000,000 bond issue to eliminate | railroad crossings; development of a state-wide system of parks; con servation of waterpower resources; 'added financial support for educa ition; legislation to relieve housing | conditions in New York City and a 18-nour week for industry. He has almost completely reor ganized the state’s government on : the basis of business-like adninus I tration and effected many econo mies. Today Governor Smith runs the state with a cabinet of department heads, composed of 12 Protestants, two Roman Catholics and one Jew. His secretary—George Graves—is a Protestant, Reputdican and thirty second degree Mason. The governor once took orders from Tammany Hall, but now he gives orders to Tammany Hall. By dint of sheer personality he has risen above his party in New York. The child has outgrown the par ent. , Wednesday: Religion and educa tion. TWO DIE, N. Y.

Protestants Make Up Al’s Cabinet Will / Al Smith appoint CaUsms to office if he is fleeted president? HU record as New York governor would not indicate it, and a man is known by his record. Of the 15 men in his cabinet 12 are protcstants and only two Catholics—that in a Catholic state. .Moreover his secretary is a protestant and a thirty-second degree Mason.

To make ready for a 24-page <3083' rotary press which The Star ha . bought from the Duplex Printing Press company of Battle Creelc, Michigan, a press room and pape * storage is being erected to the rear of The Star office for the housing of the press and paper which is bought in carload lots. To Add Many Features. The Star is embarking on a pro gram cf- expansion with the ;4so of issuing an every other day paper that will be second .only m appear ance and contents to the larger dallies. It* is planned to ad i co.: ic strips, cartoons, fashion hints, news pictures and other features that will put the paper in the class with the larger dailies. 24-Page Press. In order to accomplish this am bition on the part of the editor, a larger press was found necessary and one has been bought that will produce 24 pages, printed, folded and counted at the rate of 10.000 ' per hour or 20,000 papers an hour up to 12 pages. Another feature cf this press is that it will print 2, *, 6, 8, 10, or 12 pages all in one single section. Above 12 pages it jumps four pages at a time, printing 16, 20, and 24 pages in two sections. In order to get the page capacity and speed which The Star now requires on its circulation of 4,400 every other day. it was necessary to have a 24-page press, so the Goss rotaiy is one of the newest designs in its class and is equipment similar to that which many of the big dailies are using. Present Press Outgrown. The present flat bed press which printed direct from the type forms has a maximum capacity of only 8 pages at one time. This press was bought five years ago and at that time was thought to be sufficient to meet the needs of the paper for twenty years. It has been entirely outgiown as about fifty per cent of the issues of The Star are more than eight pages. Wider Circulation. This larger press means a larger paper with more news, covering a wider territory, so when the press is installed and in operation, it is the purpose of the management to put on ir circulation drive and cover I Cleveland more completely than it j is covered at present and serve also j ! the counties adjoining, with a pop ular priced newspaper selling far < less per copy than perhaps any other local newspaper in North Carolina. The press room which is being built to the rear of The Star build ing is 25x32 feet and practically fireproof. The basement will store a car of paper, while on the ground floor will be the press and the several pieces of stereotype equipment necessary to operate a rotary press. The building is being erected by Webb and Lutz, con tractors, and is built of concrete, steel and brick. A 25 horsepower motor will drive the big three deck press while three three-horsepower i motors will drive the stereotype I units. ‘ ' Ready Last Of August. It is expected that the expansion, will be finished by the last of Aug ust when the paper will appear in a new dress of type with the various types of features that- appeal to every member of the household, in cluding the children who enjoy tho comics.
