letters had been received by the

Smith Asks For
Full, Support Of
Roosevelt, Party
Former Candidate Asks Boston
Hearers To Vote For
''Frank.”
Arena. Boston, Oc: 28. -Alfred E;,
Smith, while thousands thundered
applause, opened and jlosed a cam
paign speech last: night *by calling
for the election of hit; old political
ally. Governor Roosevelt.
He told a thundering crowd esti
mated by police at 15.000 he had j
taken the stump In New England t<? i
"ask for the’ unqualified, full and
complete support of Franklin D.
Roosevelt.”.
In winding up his address to Dertv
ocrats of this state, which gave him j
their 1928 electoral votes and sup
ported him to the end of the Chi
cago convention, he declared:
‘T confidently believe the salva
tion of the Democratic ticket under
the leadership of Frank Roosevelt j
and John Garner ”
Crowd Roars Approval.
Frequently throughout the address i
which was punctuated with , the j
crowd's roars of approval, he spoke
of Roosevelt as “Frank ”
Most of the address, which Smith j
delivered in a booming voice, as i
perspiration streamed down his rud
dy face, comprised a. vigorous criti
cism of Presdent Hoover, his cabi
net members, leading Republican
senators and administration policies.
Smith said the Republican admin
istration had left the country “en
tirely in the dark as to our financial
condition.”
“In 1930 the country was facing a
deficit of $1,000,000,000 and noth
ing was said about it.” he continued
“That was ail right.” he said a
moment later, “thqy get away with
it for a while.”
Scores G. O. P. Expenditures
Smith said every form of taxa
tion imaginable was "pressed upon
the people when they were least
able to bear it.”
"In the meantime absolutely noth
ing was done bv the Republican ad- j
ministration to curtail the cost ol
government,'' he went on.
Worse than that was the incompe
tent handling of proposed sources of
revenue."

Last Minute Change In Sentiment
Can Swing Election To Mr. Hoover
Democrats Would Have Won
“Hands Downs ’ In Early Fall.
Is It Switching- Now?
i By Rodney Dutcheri
Washington, Oct. 28.—Those au
tumnal overturns of sentiment
among the voters which politicians
often announce a month or two be- i
fore election are usually almost en
tirely imaginative, but there are!
notable exceptions.
The Democrats, we are told, often
have an election won in September, j
only to lose It in November. That!
is what the Hoover managers have!
been reiterating thii fall, claiming!
a gregt popular trend to the presi- •
dent in the face of an opposing!
contention that voters sentiment;
remains "frozen’’ against him
The Democrats have lost 14 of
the last 18 presidential contests,
but only, on a, couple of occasions
can they be said to have- had them
actually “won" at any time during
the campaign.
A case in point wa, the great
“swing to Cox" of 1920 which pre
ceded the unparallel landslide to
Harding.
There are also lucky breaks
which become effective in the last
stages of very close contests—such
as Cleveland had In the Rev. Dr.
Burchard's famous boner and Wil
son in the Hughes-Johnson Incident
if 1916
Finally, there s the real hones; -
to-goodness change in popular aen
timent such as the Republicans

Smith Boosts Public Education
As Democracy’s Best Insurance
Shelby School Official Speaks To
Tnfhm In < harlot tc
™* / Meeting
Charlotte. Oct. 38.—Sketching a j
brief outline of the origin of "public ,
education, its steady spread aijri
great benefits, Supt. B. L. Smith,
of the Shelby schools told gram-j
mar grade teachers of the South i
Piedmont, district conference here j
today that "public education is
Democracy's Insurance."
The Shelby school head noted
that North Carolinians pay 40 mil- j
lion dollars annually in insurance
premiums and reminded that the
full Insurance of Democracy in the
State, the educational system, re
quires less than half the sum vol- 1
untarlly paid by a fraction of the
people for life insurance. In the in-i
surance of public education, he said. •
the teacher writes the policy, Dem
ocracy Is the beneficiary and good
citizenship the endowment
Hope Of World.
Present day educational methods
are not without fault, he continued,
but in public education rests the
hope of the world, adding:
“Let it be understood that what
ever the delects of public education
it is the only hope of the common
man: whatever the defects of the
common man he is the only hope of
democracy; whatever the defects of
democracy, it Is the only hope of the
world. So then, as Wells says. ‘Civi
lization is a race between educa
tion and disaster " *

Jones Sjktki
Last night there were three rallies
in the county, Joe Wright and C.
C. Horn spoke at Holly Springs.
Ernest Gardner and E. A. Harrill
at Philbeck, and Hamilton C. Jones,
of Charlotte, at Polkvtlle.
After four years in the White
House President, Hoover is com -
pelled to base his bid for efectiop
on a campaign of promises, even as
he did four years ago. Mr. Jones
Charlotte attorney and former
Mecklenburg •> county Democratic
chairman, declared.
Reviewing the 1928 promises of
President Hoover to foster an eco
nomic system that would abolish
poverty and insure jobs for all with
the will to work, Mr. Jones declared
that, after four years in the White
House, the president Is unable to
predicate his campaign for re
election on his record but must rely
upon promises of future perform
ance.
Trie Repubriqans. he declared, in
1932 can point with pride to no con
struction achievement to justlfv
their continuance in power. In their
bid for votes, they can only seek
to arouse a feeling of fear in thu
people as to what might happen
in the future if they are not re
turned. This, he charged, has
been the burden of the president’s
own campaign speeches.
