BOTH
FOR AAQAGAlysf
keasinston Clergyman Talks on
Governor Smith
Al Smith has been a Tammany

Al Smith has been Tammany
man during all his career and the
dominating force of Tammany has
elected him to office in each case
We all know the unsavory reputa-
ton of Tammany Hall. Is there any
reason to believe that if he is elect
ed president, Tammany would not
still be the power behind the
throne?"
The foregoing statement was
made by Rev. l.. E. Adkins, pastor
of the Kensington Methodist church
during the sermon at the morning
services yesterday morning. Mr..
Adkins spoke at length on the ca
reer OF the democratic nominee for
president and told his congregation
the reasons why he was opposed to
Smith and why he admired the New
York governor.
His talk in part was as follows:
I'm all his career Smith has been
a Tammany man and the dominat-
ing force of Tammany has elected
him in each case. We all know TIE
unsavory reputation of iTammany
Hail. Is there any reason to be-
lieve that if he is elected president,
Tammany would not Still be the
power behind the throne?
another reason why l would OPP
pose Gov. Smith w ould be his out
standing wet record. He has al.
ways been wet and, in his fairness.
continues to stand opposed to pro-
hibition. Without examining the many
benefits Of prohibition. one of the
surest signs that pr hibition has
succeeded has been the fact that the
vets want 4 change. If there Is
so much viol.S ION and more drink
ing than ever why are not the VETS
satisfied? If the Volstead law does
not need to be changed or amended
it should be done by the dry and
not the wet crowd.
1T is admitted that a wet pres;-
dent could not make laws. He could
only enforce them hut his appoint
ments could be such as to serious
ly nullify law he would like to see
changed.
Smith is entitled to great credit
in his rise from obscurity to fame.
Born in the east side of New York,
the son of truck driver, he work.
ed his way up by selling newspa-
pers. then by working in Fulton
market and later by taking UP the
trucking business after the death OF
his father. In his rise he retained
his human characteristics of SYM
pathy and congeniality and seems
to have way of getting close to
the people. He has not risen so
high but that he always is ready to
help those in need as was shown
by the child welfare legislation that
he has sponsored. and laws to help
the working man
Il also like his strong personality
and leadership as is evidenced by
his success in legislation and his
election to the New York governor
ship for the fourth time. Anoth-
er thing which I like about Smith
is the walls of his own home rath-
err than the walls of the White
House, not because of his religion
which would be very narrow view
but because of the other things
pertaining to his career, namely.
who elected Gov. Smith. There are
g. counties in New York state. In
1928 he carried nine counties. five
of them in New York city. In 1922
he carried 1T counties, five In
New York city.
