Governor viii Discuss His
Religion and Personal
Life Tonight.
PLANS REPLY TO OWEN
John Roach Straton Also
Expected to Get Some
Attention in Talk.
BY THOMAS l.. STOKES,
United Press staff CORRESPONDENT

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Sept.
20.--The southwest gave a tumultous
welcome today to Alfred E. Smith
and his brown derby.
Cheering throngs greeted him as
he stepped from his special train
at 10 a. m. after the long southwark
Journey from Omaha, and along the
streets of the city through which
l:e headed q monster parade.
Democrats from all seventy-seven
counties of the State and cities of
nearby States were in the line of
march.
Answer to Owen
Tonight Smith will meet the
whispering campaign" in the sec
ond speech of his western tour.
AS is his custom, he has picked
for discussion of the charges about
his religion and his personal life
the State in which it is reported the
religious issue has become an out
standing one. He is expected to talk
frankly and plainly.
He also will devote some attention
to former Senator Robert L. Owen,
Democrat of Oklahoma, who bolted
to Herbert Hoover with a denun-
citation of Governor Smith for his
Tammany utilization. The Demo-
cratic candidate is expected to turn
his fire upon John Roach Straton,
Baptist pastor of New York, who is
planning to speak in the State after
Smith.
G. o. P.'S Bid Is Strong
Democratic State leaders insisted
upon Smith making a personal ap-
pearance in the State to bolster up
their forces. Republicans are MAX
ing a strong bid and the State, re-
garded as Democratic in presi-
Dental elections, is decidedly in the
doubtful" class with both sides
claiming it. Harding carried it in
1920.
Democrats carried it in 1903, 1912,
1916 and 1924, but not by over
whelming majorities.
Oklahoma has ten electoral votes.
The Smith train was scheduled to
reach Oklahoma city at a. m.
The Democratic candidate goes
into Oklahoma on his mission
highly encouraged with the en-
thuSiastic receptions accorded him
through the corn belt He was kept
busy Wednesday waving his brown
derby and shaking hands with
crowds who gathered at short stops
to see and cheer him.

A weak back, with pains shooting through it when
you try to it, is just another sign that chronic
acidity has overloaded your system and the acid
poisons are not being carried off.
Chronic acidity and gas rob your blood Of the red
corpuscles it must have plenty of to keep it from
getting thin and watery. Your muscles and nerves
get no strengthening nourishment. That's what
keeps you skinny tired all the time with pain rack
ing your body. Nobody can work in such shaky
condition.
When you take Husky, you sweeten your stomach
stimulate your kidneys and bowels and the food you
eat supplies the blood with the necessary red cor
puscles to bring up solid flesh on your bones Your
strength comes back, your nerves are steady and
you can stand most anything without giving out.
AL druggists recommend Husky.
