SMITH RAISES MORE
ISSUES FOR RIVAL
Democratic Nominee for Gov
ernor Calls on Whitman to
Be Equally Frank"

Alfred e. Smith spoke in Queens last
night. He addressed big and noisy
crowd at Heltinger's Hall. Broadway
and Seventh avenue. Long Island City,
ana smaller audiences in the Flushing
High School and the Training school
at jamaica
Tho Democratic candidate declared
he had answered the questions put to
him by Gov. Whitman and asserted
his opponent had not been equally frank.
IT ask Gov. whitman now whether
his 30 called white Book was not pre-
pared by men in. the employ of the
Council OF State Defence" said the
Democratic candidate. II allege II to
be so and cite the charge Of Attorney
General Lewis that large sums Of money
were paid out OF appropriations for
State defence purposes to permit the
third term candidacy of the Governor.
II ask him now whether specifications
for tar drawn by the State Highway
Commission were 30 worded as to give
q practical monopoly TO one company?
ask him whether the American Clay
Products Company of Rochester received
a contract for $4,000 barrels OF cemen,
worth about $550.oo07 In order to re.
fresh his memory. would state that the
president of tho American Products
Company Is George w. Aldridge, the
leader OF Monroe county. I ask him
whether contracts without public letting
were given to former partners Of officials
OF the highway department?
II have questioned the sincerity OF
his campaign pledges and he has re.
NAMED silent. In one of his speeches ht
said the books were open SO that every
citizen could see what had become OF the
money that was appropriated for defence
purposes.
Tonight I challenge that statement
and ask him what became OF the
