this organization has been carrying on

and sailors of ali faiths; and Secre-
tary Baker and MIR Fosdick have both
spoken of the value of this work in
maintaining the morale of our fight
ing force. May | not, therefore, eX-
press in this brief note my wish for its
continued success"
Colonel Harry Cutler. chairman of
the board, presided. Plans for another

why he thought New York would not
fail
"To fail Of completing the fund
would in a sense be betrayal or
trust of the vast number of generous
contributors who have, in many in
stances, stretched a point to give their
utmost" ne said.
"secondly, this city never has failed
in any of the great public efforts it
has made FOR the common good. II

respect and confidence in ITSELF

optimism without definite knowledge
of collection totals, since the Chamber
of Commerce luncheon last Thursday,
when New York was So 3.247.378 behind
its goal. However. fund workers at
that time were cheered by Mr.. Rookie
feller's announcement that small

give half Of the deficiency, if the cam

ing the other half.

From newsbOy Of the lower East

elect of the Empire state is the record
Of the onward march on the political
road Of Alfred 4. Smith. And It has
taken him only As years to do 1t.
'The only genuine Tammany man
who can get the anti-Tammany vote"
That was. the opinion expressed in
Democratic circles In New York when
the Saratoga convention unanimously
chose him as its candidate against
Governor Whitman. Apparently the
opinion was correct. He has always
been a Tammany man and owes 1t
everything he has had in the way of
political preferment. And he beat
Whitman.
Mr.. Smith has been prominent in
Democratic politics In New York for
about Is years. He was discovered"
In the old Fodrth ward by big Tom"

when he was first elected to the as
