WHITE PRAISED
SMITH AND
NORRIS
n international News Service

NEW YORK Oct. S0.--Democratic
campaign managers hurled q sec
ond broadside at William Allen
White today by publishing 9 letter
written by the Kansas editor, five
DAYS before the Republican National
Convention last June, in which ne
alluded to THE temple Pharisees
who are running the Republican
party at this time.
In the same letter, White de.
scribed Senator George w. Norris
Of Nebraska, who has deserted the
Republican cause, as the kindliest
bravest. finest soul in American
politics.
The Democratic statement also
cited d magazine article written by
White two years ago in which Gov
ernor Smith was praised in glowing
terms.
Highest Praise For Smith
There is not in American public
life today" the cited text read, "a
cleaner, stronger. more accurately
working brain In any mans head
than al Smiths brain. His pro.
cesses of thought are logical, and
he has the courage to defend them. :
Whites charges in July that
Governor Smiths legislative record
1T Albany d quarter Of . century
ago disclosed q consistent adherence
to Tammany policy and an tiIl.
broken defense of the saloon and
vice, were one OF the sensations Of
the current campaign.
The letter denouncing the Reptib.
lican party was addressed under
date Of June Z to Horace Mann,
Long Beach, Calf, in explanation
an earlier magazine article. The
text follows:
Norris An Ideal
s'I have your letter Of June 4,
concerning my article in COllier's,
and note you wonder why /
omitted Senator George Norris
name from the list Of candidates.
George Norris is not q Republican
candidate. Not that his name will
not be presented, but along the
prOperty.minded deyotees Of q
Hamiltonian plutocracy, 4 man
socially minded like Norris Is as
remote as one Of the apostles.
Norris more highly than I. or all
men living, he seems to me to be
the kindliest, bravest, finest soul
in American politics, but he
doesn't belong to the temple
Pharisees who are running the
Republican party at this time
The Democratic research bureau
also declared the archives reveal
that White once described Senator
Charles Curtis, Republican vice
nominee, as a nit
wit" and Herbert Hoover as "a
fat capon.'

DEALERS FIGH |
CHAIN STORE
SYSTEMS

Since the Commerce Department
launched its campaign to assist
small independent merchants in
their fight to dodge failure and the
serious competition offered by the
rapidly increasing chain store sys.
TENS, thousands of letters have been
received from individual business
men seeking aid.
For the first time in America s
business history 1t appears that the
distributor has been aroused to the
realization Of the fact that II he
stays in business he must put his
operations on scientific basis and
apply the same general policies that
have so successfully placed the pro.
ducer on a footing to meet the com
petition of cheaper labor Of manu-
facturers IN foreign countries.
The campaign Is being directed by
DIR. Julius Klein, head Of the for
eign and domestic commerce section.
Trade Problems
"To proceed efficiently the In.
dependent merchant needs, above
ali else, dependable facts az TO his
particular trade problems,' = DIR. Klein
declared. Klein holds the belief that
there Is plenty Of business for the
independent merchant in the Amer.
lean business system, IN spite OF
the chain stores, provided his bust
ness is conducted on scientific
basis.
Klein pointed out that the big
merchandising organizations sue
ceed largely because Of their OUT
standing efficiency, skill In man.
agemeLt, concentration on absolute
essentials, rigorous elimination of
waste motion and superfiuous ex.
penses. He declared that 1t Ii d
mistake to assume that their sole
reason for success is their mere
physical bigness and consequent
ability to get quantity discounts. I"
Now, economy and efficiency can
be applied to the small business
just as well as the Iarge-and they
must be applied by the independent
retailer Ii his business lii 10 sur.
vive and thrive" Klein said.
Today. conditions in retail trade
are changing rapidly. Powerful.
imperfectly comprehended forces
are at work. Confusion exists, to-
gether with such a strange over
tapping OF activities that our De.
partment OF Commerce investiga.
tiOns have actually found tobacco
being sold in shoe stores and mems
clothing vended in butcher shops"
Guiding Retailers
The Commerce Department is
striving to supply the facts which
must be available to the indepen-
dent retailer for his guidance. The
domestic commerce division is de-
voting much time not only to the
solution OF countless special, indi-
vidual problems that are submitted,
but also TO throw light on the
broad. general questions that con-
front the in dependent business man
today.
These problems come to US from
business people throughout the
country at the rate OF 10000 q day,
as against 700 day In 1921" Klein
said. I'm answering the depart.
ment tries TO give them exactly
what they want. The majority Of
the questions are pertinent. serious
questions. !"
