Democrats Would Bring
Curse of the Saloon,
They Charge

NEW YORK. oct. i3.-The man
ayers OF the national democratic
! campaign and those OF Governor
Smith are greatly disturbed by the
new attack that has been opened on
their candidates by the powerful
Hearst papers. This attack is direct
cd against the whisky connections OF
Cox and Smith.
One day last week tho American,
the morning Hearst paper here,
printed a powerful cartoon. showing
the saloon as n hidcouE criminal be-
! hind the prison bars OF tho prohibit
tion amendment. Smith and Cox were
represented as two pals approaching
with a saw and a file. while the pris-
oncr reaches between the bars 20 re-
ceive these tools to set him free.
The cartoon was reprinted In the
Journal, the evening Hearst paper. In
both publications the cartoon WAS
o%iucidated by m editorial appearing
In an adjoining column. The editorial
bore the caption, What About
WHISKY? Will you vote TO Bring 1t

oerotic party, has not Said or writ

made In this election the party Of
whisky, the party that would hring
back upon this nation the curse of
the saloon and It's deadly poison.
The cartoon ON this page tells tho
truth. The whisky men believe thai
their best friend IL Al Smith, whu
wants to be governor Of New York
state. ard their next best friend is
Cox. foolish enough to hope that the
people will elect him president OF tho
United States, knowing that he would
work through tho league OF nations

Of the United States. and work with
tho whisky men to do away with thu
legislation that annoys them.
