ATLANTA, October 16.-The Atlanta
Methodist Ministers Association today
declared In a public statement that the
activity of the ministers in the present

State (not Georgia) Democratic COM

minister In essence 1t reads: We have
heard that you are for Smith and are
willing to make speeches for him. We
shall be glad to have you on our speak
ing staff Please let us know when and
where you can make such addresses and
we will meet your conditions (Appar-

He thought the reception was "very

pressed himself as entirely satisfied

during the conference the nominee
made the prediction that he would
carry both Ohio and Pennsylvaria in
November and characterized as stupid"
the comment on his Louisville tariff
speech made by Senator Moses. Repub-
iican New Hampshire.
The forecast as to Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania, Republican hulwarks, came dur
ing the course of questioning as to the
nominees speech plans in Ohio. He
said he had no speaking engagement
IN that State, either on this trip or on
the final one. He would speak In Penn
sylvanfa, he added, but in which city
he did not know.
What is the significance Of eliminat-
ing Ohio from all your itineraries?" he
was asked
There is no particular significance in
1t, but you cannot go everywhere" the
nominee replied.
1T has been pivotal state in past
elections, hasn't it?"
II cannot answer that. The national
committee made up this itinerary. They
must have something in their minds.

Ohio and Pennsylvania Claimed.
"In other words, you think there is
more chance Of carrying Pennsylvania
than Ohio?" the questioner pursued.
"I think will carry both of them"
was the nominees quick retort. AS for
Senator Moses, who the governor was
told had characterized his tariff pro-
gram as meaning the turning over of
the constitutional power of Congress to
tariff commission, the Democratic
nominee said the statement in itself
is stupid"
Nobody suggested that tariff COM
mission have the power to revise the
tariff. 1t is fact-flndng commission
to advise Congress"
The governor said he had received
many telegrams congratulating him on
his Louisville address.
Asked If he had observed any "un-
favorable reaction from Democrats who
were attached to the obsolete theory
of free trade, the nominee said he had
not received "a kick"
Senator Moses continues his state
ment by saying that YOU have partly
thrown away the tariff plank In the
Democratic platform, the governor was
informed.
Well" he came back. "the Senator
did not read it. or. If he did read 1t,
he did not understand It,"
Gov. Smith appeared to be In an
unusually jovial mood, considering the
hectic day which he passed under his
undersized brown derby. Informed by
his publicity representative. Joseph l..
Cohn, that he would reach Washington,
Mo-, at 4:05 In the afternoon, he
brought a ripple of laughter in the
crowded, smoke-filled club car with:
