BOOM FOR SMITH IS AIDED

ticket. Charles Evans Hughes, say
ing:
Everywhere, in the East and in
the West, I have found among Re
publicans of prominence the dominant
idea that Charles f. Hughes of New
York will be the Republican nominee
that Smith inevitably will be the
Democratic nominee, and that Judge
Hughes is the only Republican with
o. chance to defeat him. Without
detracting from the popularity of
Judge hughes. / have no fear of the
outcome of a race between him and
Gov. Smith. Gov. Smith will be our
next President"
Senator Pomerene does not tie him.
self finally to Gov. Smiths candidacy.
He says:
I'VE have many leaders who are
capable and worthy. The time is not
ripe for Democrats to commit them
selves unequivocally, either for or
against any individual whose name
may be presented to the convention.
Cites Smiths Record.
But the former Senator discards this
cautious attitude when he comes to
his discussion Of the merits of the
I'VE have 48 States with 48 gov.
ernors. but in service TO his State
Gov. Smith leads them all. Four
times as governor he has sworn 10
support the Constitution of the United
States and the Constitution of New
York and no one Is able truthfully to
charge that he nas not kept the faith.
His has been q record of achieve.
ment. He has a genius for statecraft.
Among the great Democrats who have
been elected Governor Of New York
since the Civil War three outstanding
men come to our minds-Samuel j.
Tilden, Grover Cleveland and David
B. Hill. But. great as these men were,
Gov. Smith. In purpose and achieve.
ment, Is the equal Of any of them.
He is not prophet without honor in
his own country"
Ridiculing fears of the Governors s
religion, he points out that in the
Smith cabinet are thirteen Protest
ants, two Catholics and one Jew. He
concludes:
when remember that Thomas
Jefferson was the author of the stat.
ute giving religious liberty in Vir.
ginia and through his great influence
this same guaranty was put into the
Bill of Rights, do not see how any
Democrat can raise the religious is
sue for or against any candidate.
When l remember the guaranty Of
these privileges in the Constitution.
I do not understand how any Ameri-
can who believes in our history can
raise 1t. And when l remember that
Holy Writ bids us do unto others as
we would be done by, cannot under
stand how any Christian can raise it. "
Senator Pomerene's praise Of Smith
Is welcome, particularly as he comes
from a Middle Western State, which
boasts at least one Democratic presi.
Dental possibility and perhaps two,
Gov. Donahey and Newton d. Baker,
former Secretary of War. Both Don.
ahey and Baker are drys.
Gov. Smiths record on enforcement
Of prohibition is defended by Senator
Pomerene, who says: 1T is better to
have governor or a President per-
sonally wet who will inforce the law,
than a governor or President who is
personally dry who will not or cannot
inforce it, Mr.. Pomerene, however,
did not undertake to say that New
York had been made entirely dry ter
ritory during the term of office of Gov.
Smith.

ANDERSON SEES
FARMERS DRIVEN
FROM The SOIL
Tariff, Trusts, Freight
Cause Farm Poverty

WASHINGTON (FP. ).-American
farmers are doomed to suffer, for a
long period of years, a. continual in
crease in their economic burden,
which will reduce their standards of
living, drive great part of them
from their land and demoralize the
labor conditions in the towns.
This is the view taken by w. A.
Anderson, chairman of the Farmer
Labor Party of Minnesota, and for
merly secretary of the Industrial
Commission of North Dakota. An
derson has been consulting progress
sive senators as to the chances of
federal action on farm problems.
Farm Banks Fail.
Farming in the Northwest has so
far decayed that 200 state banks in
Minnesota are now in process of
liquidation, while many national
banks have likewise failed in the
past two years, Anderson said to the
Federated Press Merchants are suf-
fering because the mass of the far
mers cannot buy, on the one hand,
and business is falling into the
hands of the chain stores on the
other. Small capital is helpless
against big capital, and the losers
are turning radical without fully un-
derstanding why their economic Sc
curity has vanished.
Three Reasons.
Reasons for farm poverty, Ander-
son declared, are chiefly three: high
protective tariff for manufactured
goods which increases the price the
farmer must pay; high charges for
rail and other distribution of farm
products and goods which the far
mer buys, which further widens the
gulf between what the farmer is
paid and what he must pay; finally
the growth of monopoly power,
which fixes prices of commodities
manufactured at home and abroad
Farmers cannot increase tn e
prices of their own products because
they must compete in the world ex-
port market with like products from
countries such as Argentine, where
costs are low. These differences in
costs of production and haulage-
Argentine wheat goes almost wholly
by water to the Liverpool market
will apply to all staple crops to
which American farmers may turn.
They simply cannot compete abroad.
Hence they must raise less crops,
cease to employ laborers, and many
of them must hunt jobs in town.
