ICE BRIBES 1 REM TO SPEECH OF SEN. SWISS Declares Simmons’ Desertion Of Democratic Party Is Unsound. I Beaufort, Oct. 17.—Judge Craw * ford Biggs, of Raleigh, addressed a S large body of North Carolina voters ■ here Monday night, making his ! speech in the form of a reply to I Senator F. M. Simmons’ attack on I Governor Alfred Smith, Democratic ! presidential ncminee, at New Bern last Friday night. f "I recognize,” he said, “the serv ice that Senator Simmons has in the past rendered to the Democratic party and to the state and to the nation. His New Bern speech deliv ered last Friday night is the first address on his part in which he undertakes to justify his position in deserting the national democracy in this great battle and I shall en deavor to show the utter unsound ness of his position and that noth ing has occurred which justifies him or any other Democrat in withhold ing his support from our rational Standard bearer. “An analysis of Senator Simmons’ address at New Bern reveals the fact that he undertakes to justify his an nounced purpose not to vote for Governor Smith and Senator Robin eon and his expressed hope tiiat they will be defeated on the ground, mainly, that Governor Smioh in his telegram to the Houston convention and in his acceptance speech has repudiated what the senator calls the prohibition plank of our plat form and that, therefore, he and all other Democrats arc justified in deserting the commander-in-chief if the hosts of Democracy in America lending aid and comfort to the na tional Republican ticket. “It is true that Senator Simmons criticizes the selection by the nation al Democratic committee of Mr. Raskob as chairman, referring to him as a wet and as a Republican, yet Senator Simmons does not con tend that the selection of a chair man justifies the desertion of the regular nominee. He fails to tell you that Mr. Raskob twice supported and voted for President Wilson and no, one will claim that because a man, is wet he is thereby debarred from) active assistance in the selection of the Democratic nominee. He might have called your attention to the fact that Mr. Hoover selected as his vice-chairman directly .n charge of Eastern headquarters, Senator Moses, who said the Volstead act is a ’jackass’ act. I understand that the senator’s private secretary attended the meeting at which Mr. Raskob was selected by the national Demo cratic committee, holding the proxy of and as the representative of the senator and no protest was made by him so far as the press dispatches disclose and it was weeks thereafter before the senator criticized this se lection. Takes Fling At Biggs. Judge Biggs also took occasion to attack Frank R. McNinch. of Char lotte, leader olthe anti-Smith forces of North Carolina, but put most stress on his disapproval of Senator Simmons’ position. The Judge pointed out that the plank in the Democratic platform accepted as referring to prohibition referred in reality to “law enforce ment’’ in general. "To begin with, it is not a prohibition plank,” the speaker declared, "but it is an en forcement plank and in the plat- : lorm it is accurately and correctly ; termed ‘law enforcement.’” Judge Biggs said that there were j three viewpoints in connection with i the adoption of this law enforce- j ment plank at the Houston conven tion. He claimed that there were J those who wanted a plank which committed the party to changes in j the prohibition laws, and those who , wanted the party to indorse the i eighteenth amendment and Vol stead act, and thirdly a group that j while life-long prohibitionists, was opposed to the party committing it self for or against prohibition. He denied that Governor Smith in any j manner repudiated the party's plat- ; form by his message to the Houston j convention after informed of his nomination and explained his con tention. "Equally unfounded is the sena tor’s statement that the telegram Governor Smith sent to the conven tion announced his refusal to ac-. cept the prohibition declaration con- 1 tained in the platform,” Judge Biggs : said. "I confidently say that any; unbiased man will say that instead ; of being a refusal to abide by the j enforcement plank this telegram was ■ an express and unequivocal accept ance thereof.” Judge Biggs denied that there was j ground for opposing the presidential j nominee for his stand on inmigra- j tion. He consumed considerable time in marshalling up his reasons for believing this viewpoint unwarrant ed. He claimed that while Governor ’ Smith wishes changes in the pres ent immigration laws he did not want to lower the “immigration’’ bars. “American chewing - gum has j gained a foothold in Japan, ‘ says an exchange.

To Editor of The Star: Since the Houston convention there have been mav Inquiries from friend and foe—some of them I think in the columns of your pa per-asking why l have kept so silent as to A1 Smith in contrast with my pre-convention activity; and it has even been suggested—oh horrors!—that I had entered the ranks of the bolters and was pre paring to join them in hurling mal igant maledictions against the world's greatest Democrat. On the occasion of Smith's visit to Charlotte, a few nights ago, 1 was commissioned to make a two minute speech upon his arrival but when the train rolled in and the countless multitude pressed to meet him it was plain, there cou d he m speaking. However, my unspoken speech affords a complete to the inquiry. "What Think You of A1 Smith Now"? I send you herewith a copy of j what I would have raid had ray tongue been permitted to utter the thoughts that arose in me. I beg you to publish it in order to show that since the convention I am— to quote a phrase uttered by Sena tor Simmons before the conven tion—“found still doing business at the old stand."

Governor Smith: I am not here to introduce you to this immense throng because in very truth most of these people know- you far better than they know me; nor am I here to say mere woras of welcome be cause the glow on this great sea of up-turned faces and the roar of ap plause, like the voice of many wa ters, have told you in language that cannot be mistaken what we already know—that no one who has ever come within our borders has been received more gladly or with more genuine enthusiasm than is shown here tonight towards you as our guest—and not only you, sir, but also this splendid woman, who has had such an influential part in your elevation to your present exalted place in the nation, and who has shown forth before the eyes of all people such a worthy and unsullied pattern of American motherhood. But I am here, governor, chiefly to tell you that you have never been in the midst of a people who love you better than you are loved by a vast majority of those upon whom you are now looking. WO love you lor your magut-uv personality: for your clean, noble life. We love you for your high ideals of public service: for your unparalleled accomplishments as governor of the greatest state in the union in securing humanitarian legislation for women and children and for those afflicted of God—in deed, for all the helpless and un fortunate, We love you because you have always been on the side of the under-dog. We love you for your matchless courage, for your unquestioned honesty in every re lationship of life. We love you be cause, instead of dodging, pussy footing or remaining silent upon the great questions involved in this campaign you have, with the ut most candor and in. language under stood by all, told the people how you stood on every matter in is sue. Above all: we love you because we believe you to be a sincere Christ ian patriot who has preserved the dignified demeanor of one consci ous of absolute innocence in the face of the most outrageously false and un-Christlike calumny that has ever been heaped upon any man in public life; and we rest in the abid ing confidence that God in Heaven. He who sits on a throne of justice, will see to it that you receive com plete vindication on the 6th day of November when the American peo ple return their verdict. We love you as one who received with practical unanimity the nomi nation of our great party and who j is therefore entitled to the sincere J support of every citizen who has ; hitherto called himself a Democrat; and last but not least, governor, we love you because it has come to pass here , in North Carolina that j our hereditary foe, the Republican,} and our new-born enemy, the bolter j from our national ticket, are now I joined together as Siamese twins, solidly united in opposing you and in endeavoring by all means to de feat you. As soon as we saw that coalition against you take piace, we forthwith realized that there was bound to be something about you that should cause every simon-pure Democrat to love and adore you. CHAS.

At The Theatres For the first time on recoid. that most colorful side of American life, the college student on vacation,, has been, taken as the background for a motion picture, titled “Her Sum mer Hero" and the FBO attraction at the Princess today. While every other branch of col legiate life has been exploited to the limit in films, the summer life of young - American college, men and women, perhaps the most pic turesque portion of their careers, seems to have been neglected by producers until James Dugan, FBO director, conceived the idea of mak ing such a story into pictures. The Webb is adevrtising “Our Dancing Daughters” for tomorrow and Friday. Joan Crawford head the cast of this wonderful show. With Anita Page, Nils Asthei Hunt ley Gordon and Dorothy Sebastin in the producing company, which is almost totally of stellar quality. This is one of the most discuss ed of later-day films. It reveals to the world an answer to the present burning question: “What is the matter with the younger genera tion.” It is a flashy, peppy picture, exquisitely done. It is a show for everybody—old and young alike. To day the feature film is a rollicking comedy—Buster Keaton in “Col lege.” It holds the mirror up to college life. The youths especially will enjoy it. Lawndale Route 1 Personal Mention (Special to The Star.) Lawndale. Route 1.—Everyone en joyed the singing convention at Oak Grove Sunday. There was a large crowd.

New York World The manifestation of re'igious bigotry during a politics’, contest is not a net thing in the United States, although it has never before bem carried to the extreme attained during the present campaign. Back in 1903. when Mr Taft was a can didate. there were many Republi cans. especially in the Middle West, whose sectarian kins made them hesitate at accepting a Unitarian for such a high office. Coupled with this was a rumor that the candidate’s wife and brother were Catholics. Scm? of those whose prejudices were thus aroused wrote to Presi dent Roosevelt about their troubles, in characteristic 'fashion the presi dent singled out one of the e writers a Mr Martin of O: for a reply, and then made public his letter, so that it might reach ethers v o har bored similar feelings. His word., are peculiarly appropriate to the pres ent campaign Among other things he said: To discriminate against a thoroughly upright citizen be cause he belongs to some par ticular church, or becau e, tike Abraham Lincoln, lie has not avowed his allegiance to any church, is an outrage against that liberty of conscience which is one of the foundations of American life. You are entitled to know7 whether a man seeking your suffrage is a man of clean and upright life, honorable in all his dealings with his fellows and fit by qualification and purpose to do well in the great office for which he is a candidate: but you arc no! entit.e.l to know mat ters which lie purely between himsdf and his Maker. Then, turning to the story that Mr. Taft's wife and brother were Catholics, Mr. Roosevelt continued: As it happens, they are not; but if they were, or if he were a Rfiran Catholic him elf, it ought not to affect in the slight est degree any man's support of him for the position of presi dent. You say that "the mass of the voters that are not Cath olics will net support a man for any office, especially for presi dent of tire United States, who is a Roman Catholic,” I believe that when you say this you foully slander your fe’.low-coun trymen. I do not for one mo ment believe that the mass of WOMEN SET INTO If Kithrr Candidate Is Elected Everything Mill Close Down —July 4th. Washington The National Wom an's party, which has opened up a campaign in New Yorl. to defeat Governor Alfred E Smith in his home state, apparently entered the political arena simply because it loved a fight: The party paraded up to Herbert Hoover's office some time ago and asked ; \ endorsement of their aims, to wit To give women equal rights under the law everywhere and at the same time prevent any legislation designed for the pro tection ol women in industry and business. Hoover was polite, but turned the delegation down rather flatly. Nevertheless, perhaps because of its friendship for Senator Charlie Curtis, the militant ladies prompt ly declared for Hoover. They're bit ter against Smith because he has championed various measures for female protection n New York state. But Hoover also seems to be a champion ot feminine protection. In a report of the National Industrial conference board in 1919, which the Republican national committee at tributes to Hoover, one finds that Hoover and Smith are pretty well agreed. Here's one paragraph: "Women cannot enter industry without safeguards additional ■■ to those provided for men, if they are to be equally protected .... Special provision is needed to keep | their hours within reason, to pro hibit night employment in factories and workshops, and to exclude them [ from those trades offering parti ' cular dangers to women." r Two more entries in the contest to prick the punkest campaign joke: "Four months after Hoover «or Smith' takes office every bank and factory in the country will be our fellow-citizens or that any i considerable number of our fel 1 low-citizens ean be influenced by such narrow bigotry as to re fuse to vote for any thoroughly upright and fit man because h? happens to have a particul lar religious creed. Thus did the Kleagles, the St rat j ons, the Willebrandts and the Can j nons of twenty years ago get their I rebuke from the White House. They ! are not likely to get another from ! there to-day. The rebuke must come * from the voters themselves on Nov. MANKIND GAME FROM TWO OlO BLOOD GROUPS Ml Human Races May Re Class! fied With One Or The Other Of Two Strains. Berlin.—Mankind grew from two primeval races, and eastern race and a western race, and the present day multitude of races is a mix ture of the two. Moreover, there is an eternal en mity between the blood of these two primeval races and tragedies in attempted blood transfusion, childlessness, miscarriages and vari ous strange phenomena of heredi tary characteristics and diseases are or may be due to the mixture of hostile blood. This startling theory was present ed before the congress of physi cians and scientists by Dr. Burg hard Breitner. of Vienna. who based it in part on the research closed down." "Gracious, no!" "Sure, that's the Fourth of July." The other is the one about the removal of a grand piano from the White House to make room for a harp. Any more? The most rigorous of all the campaigns for re-election to con gress seems to be that ol Dan Sutherland, the handsome silver haired delegate from Alaska. Dans campaign took him from Seattle way up north to Nome and from there up the Yukon river by boat to Fairbanks, where important votes are to be had. Everywhere the river boat stop ped alcung the Yukon Dan got off and made a speech. His Democratic opponent is George B. Grigsby, who was seated briefly as Alaska s dele gate 10 years ago and then forced out after a contest, Grigsby, accord ing to word here, got started late and couldn't get through the rising ice in the river. So he flew by air plane into the interior. The principal campaign issue centers on assumption of terriv torial powers by federal officials. Sutherland favors the controller bill, which would define the duties of both classes, forbid federal of ficers to hold territorial j /bs and perhaps end a long conflict. While her husband campaigns far away. Mrs. Sutherland has charge of the office and thus virtually represents Alaska here during the congression al recess. work of Dr. Hans Hlrschfeld, of Berlin. Two Blood Groups. Mankind. Dr. Brelner said. Is divided into two fundamental blood groups, which may be characterized as A and B . A mixture ot these two has produced two other groups. One of these has the characteristics of either A or B and may be there fore designated as O. All human beings belong to one of these four groups. These groups distinguish them selves because the differences in their red blood corpuscles and their blood serum. If serum from the blood of group A is added to the blood of group B. the red corpusc- ! les are destroyed and vice versa. ! This effect can be, and sometimes , is. produced by the mixture of hos- j tile blood and therein is seen the | explanation for many a mystery, that has puzzled medical science [ for centuries Must fcxannne moon. Membership in any one blood group cannot be determined by j looks. Neither height, nor color j or condition of hair and eyes, have j anything to do with the blood grouping. But the blood group of any one individual can be easily determined bv scientists within a few minutes from just a droo of the individual's blood. According to Hirschfeld's re searches. blood group A predomin ates in Europe and decreases to ward eastern Russia and Asia, white blood group B increases there A curve based on the predominance of blood group O lead from western Europe to India, indicating the or igin of the Indo-European races. “‘But nowhere are there people of just one blood grouo Indicating how thorough the mixture of the races is. European Legends. Europe is full of legends based on blood differences and blood kin ships. and scientists see in the results of modern blood tcsearch one more confirmation of the basic truth of ancient myths and legends In Germany and Austria, the blood tests is already used in court procedure in cases of contested fathership. but only as negative proof. If the alleged father Is of a wholly different group than the child he cannot be the father and is acceuted as conclusive proof. If the father does belong to the same or a like group as the child, he may be the father, but so may be any other man in that group, and other evidence must be adduced.
