BUFFALO, N. Y., Oct. 1S.-Assert- ing that President Coolidge was main- i taining a ''silence equalled only by that of the tomb" on the question of the Ku Klux Klan, Governor Alfred E. Smith in a speech here tonight declared that the United States could not counte- nance a policy of silence" in regard to the klan ''on the part of the man who has n special commission to speak for the heart and conscience of the Ameri- can people"
 The governors address was largely an arraignment of "that dishonest re- publican state platform" and his re- marks on the klan where in connection with the republican plank dealing with freedom of religious worship. The plank, the governor said, accused the democratic party of trying to make political capital out of the so-cailed Ku Klux Klan issue"
 "The democratic platform specifically says" he continued, speaking of the klan: "'We decline it's cooperation we spurn it's support Mention one repub- lican leader in this state who has made any such utterance. Witness the Pres ident of the United States, the leader of the republican party in the country who maintains silence equalled only by that of the tomb upon this question 1; and he is the one man in the United States that. all Americans, without re- gard to party, expect to hear denounce in no uncertain terms the one group in this country who from the very pur- pose of their organization would do vio- lence to the fundamental principle of American democracy enuneiated by lief ferson and set forth in the declaration, that all men are created equal.'"
 Governor Smith asserted that after his speech in Ithaca last night a fiery cross was seen burning on West Hill in that city. /.
 "In the very center of education and culture" he said, 'in a territory that harbors great university of the state (Cornell), the spirit of bigotry and in tolerance appeared upon the horizon"
