Smith REPLIES
TO ROOSEVELT
Loose and Foolish
Says of Latter's
Statements

NEW YORK, N. ", Nov. 3.-CF,-
With a challenge that evidence be
produced to substantiate charges OF
vice in the county IN which New
York's capitol is located, Governor
Alfred E. Smith struck back at Col.
Theodore Roosevelt in q statement
published today. The governor term
ed charges by the colonel -loose and
foolish"
In speeches before the republican
state convention at Rochester and in
this city, Colonel Roosevelt attacked
Tammany as corrupt and blamed
Tammany with the government in
Albany.
Col. Roosevelt has little interest
in the welfare OF the state OF New
York when at the height Of a cam
paign for constitutional amendments
he uses up the time Of the public to
make a personal attack upon me. y
said the governors reply.
One Of the amendments the cover
nor referred to would provide for
the election Of governors in presi-
Dental years, q measure fosfered by
the republicans and similar 10 one
recently defeated in New Jersey.
Governor Smith said that Colonel
Roosevelt is entirely without under
standing Of the states fiscal sys-
tenn"
Roosevelt's charges that police
raids on Tammany Hall club houses
had revealed open gambling were ad-
mitted by Governor Smith who coun-
tered that similar raids had been
made upon republican club houses
in one Of which police encountered
gun men with police records who
were in the employ Of the republican
club to protect play.

ordered in place Of picketing de-
clared illegal by the state.
Leaders OF the Industrial Workers
of the World in charge Of strike ac-
tivities, announced at their head
quarters at Walsenburg last night
that Governor w. II. Adams had told
them they could hold meetings and
this method Of "legalized picketing''
would supplant actual patrol Of
mines.
The mass meeting plan was test
ed yesterday at a Colorado Fuel a
Iron company mine near Walsen-
burg. Hundreds OF strike gympathix-
ers assembled a ehort distance from
the mine shaft as workers came off
shift.
Company officials protested that
this was but another form OF picket
ing and that it would result in in
timidation Of miners wishing to
work.
Operators throughout the southern
field reported that many men re-
turned to work yesterday when the
threat Of !. w. w. leaders to re-
sumo picketing in defiance Of state
orders, failed 20 materialize.

Third Party Threat
Made At Farm Meet
Those Who Opposed
Relief Bill Attacked
AT st. Louis

ST. LOUIS, NO, Nov. 5.-Fl--
Sparing none who opposed the Me-
Nary -Haugen farm relief bill, agri-
cultural leaders from the Southwest
and central states closed their two
day meeting here yesterday with
threats OF a third party, an attack
on the administration and @ state
ment Of their wants from the ap-
preaching session or congress.
They left in their wake a set Of
resolutions endorsing the McNary-
Haugen bill and attacking among
others, Senators Borah Of Idaho, Reed
Of Missouri. Fess Of Ohio and Bruce
OF Maryland az opponents OF farm
relief legislation
Discussing presidential possibilities
freely. the leaders named none as
their choice, although the name Of
former Governor Frank O. Lowden
was applauded frequently In the dis
cussions. "Favorite son and forlorn
hope" candidates should be avoided,
the resolutions said 70 that agricul-
ture may settle upon candidates
with q chance OF nomination.
Blame for the failure of farm re-
lief legislation was laid at the door
Of President Coolidge, who vetoed the
McNary- -Haugen bill.
Criticism Of Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Jardine as u stool" or the prexi-
dent also was heard iE the conven-
tion.
Suggestions of new party, while
not mentioned In the resolutions,
came from Charles r. Truax, director
Of agriculture Of Ohio, who said 'po-
litical parties have been formed on
issues less vital than the ignoring Of
demands for farm relief legislation
Truax also warned the farmers 70
'slook with suspicion" ON any farm
relief plans formulated BY the admin
igtrMtion or the four senator's.
