BUDAPEST, Hungary, August g.
From the viewpoint of William
Hohenzollern, the workman is not a
proletarian, but an aristocrat-a col
laborator of God.
This view was expressed recently
by the one-time German emperor to
Pastor Ludwig Duschik of Miskolcz,
Hungary, during a visit of the pastor
to Doom House, in Holland, where
William is in exile. William also con-
demned "so-called democracy as
being fatal to the normal development
of q state.

an aristocrat of the first order, for he
is a collaboration of God.

masses. A monarchy. on the other
hand, always guards the interests of
the people, especially if a strong and

NEW YORK. August 2S-What
Gov. Smith regards as Mayor HyIan's $
blind, obedient subservience to a
super boss his secret conference
with representatives of the Ku Klux
klan at the 1924 Democratic national
convention and his lack of ability as
mayor are among the Governors rea-
sons for opposing the citys chief
executive for third term.
Crossing the bridge into Brooklyn
last night, the governor, who had
given up his vacation to campaign
for State Senator Walker, Tammany
designee for mayor, addressed 5000
persons, while twice as many clam
ored for admission.
Referring to the split in Democratic
ranks "as little family quarrel, >"
the governor said he was not going
to be too harsh. Then he took up
the mayors claim that the mayor had
supported Smith four times.
Did he support me for the nomi-
nation?" Gov. Smith asked. Cries of
"No.0 You know he did not. You
know he went to Syracuse in 1922
avowedly and from his own lips to
do every human thing he could to
stop me from getting the nomination.

But the progressive. intelligent
rank and file of the party in the
State chased him back to New York.

sentatives of the klan.
"All of his complaints against me
never were based on the question of
my ability. 1t was his blind, obedient
subservience to a super-boss, who
stood over him and was the keeper of
his heart, the keeper of his conscience
and the director of his POLITICAL will. !"
The Governor enumerated various
problems confronting the city. and de-
clared they could only be solved by
man of greater ability than Mr.. Hy
Ian.
Fare Issue "Smoke Screen"
Senator Walker, who spoke with 9TH
er Tammany candidates. pointed to his
legislative record toward safeguarding
the 5-cent fare. He asserted, as did
Coy. Smith. that the scent fare issue
was merely a smoke screen in the
campaign.
Mayor Hylan, speaking in Queens
last night named the ''poolroom
king" who with a gambling car and
traction lawyer, he had pointed out as
the real bosses of Tammany Hall.

Minister Morones said that while
the Mexican government was de-
scribed as labor government it's aims
embraced the welfare of the nation
as whole, and to promote that well
fare it might even be necessary for it
to sacrifice some part of it's program
to better the position of Mexican
labor. Its practical aim, he said, was
to increase the efficiency of Mexican
workers through technical knowledge
and at the same time to show them
that their own interest lies in assist

in the indictment planned to transport

New Orleans. Three policemen We're
alleged to have assisted in the landing
of the contraband from a speed boat,

that of the purchaser, while he was
also charged with being responsible
for it's transportation to the shores
