 "A vote for Herbert Hoover is . vote to set the country back 100 years in biEotry and narrowminded- ness, with the republican party tied up as 1t is in the Ku Klux Klan: 8 vote for Alfred E. Smith and the democratic ticket, Is 8 vote for the constitution of the United States with its provision that 'all men are created free and equal Attorney Thomas F.
