Dear Sir:
In your letter of the 25th inst,
you seem again to be greatly con-
cerned over the fact that i'm my In

not included in my Harlingen adj

Is this so unusual? Is IL not true
that outlines Of speeches are fire.
q~uently given to the press before or
after their delivery, from which
some of the matters have been
omitted in their delivery
II this Is a crime then Mr.. Smith
is a great sinner No one who has
read the carefully prepared and
edited speeches he was supposed to
deliver at Omaha and Oklahoma City
and then listened over the radio
would have recognized his rantings
on the platform as the product "
the same mind. Had he confined
himself to the speeches as printed
he would not have made so many
votes for Hoover.
You also seem to rejoice that what
you are pleased to call a "vicious
untruth has been scotchedD III you
refer TO the statement accredited 10
me concerning the New York law
giving whites and negroes the same
!. privileges in hotels. restaurants,
etc, ! tried to make il plain in my
last that the statement as given
did not correctly represent what /
said. I am sure that any n less
obtuse than yourself understood that
| was attacking the position of Tam
many and not the republican party
cf fifty years ago.
! I am also sure that the reporter
did not intend to misrepresent what
| said, but simply got the wrong
viewpoint. / gave the proof in my
last that TGmmany-controlled New
York City, under the leadership Of
Mr.. Smith had 50 long associated
with the negroes and used them for
political purposes, that If sucn asso-
citation made any one a believer in
negro social equality, then the pot
should not, could not afford to- call
the kettle black.
You did not attempt to refute the
! facts stated, for you can not It is
claimed, but ! do not vouch for its
truth. that the negro commissioner
OF New York City-the y with the
white woman for his private secre-
tary-is such a pal Of the governor
that he Familiarity calls him al, and

You made no reply 70 my chal-

any republican president ever at
tempted to change the negro status
in the south. You did not because IL
| cannot be done. Then why have the
, Smith speakers in the south raised
! this social equality question?
On the religious higotry question,
you say this has been made an issue

HI GREAT DECISION

Memories of presidential campaigns reach back
with the editor to the celebrated contest be-
tween Hayes and Tilden. In that year the height of
excitement came after election, but this year the ten
sion will be greatest during the last week preceding
the day when the American people render their mo-
mentous decision. There will be Juror, arguments
and post mortems in plenty after the election but the
strain of uncertainty will be relieved within six hours
after the polls close. Before November seventh is
ushered in the news of Herbert Hoover's election will
be general over the land.
1t is a great campaign. Different from any that
has gone before. 1t is a campaign of education that
will be the means of giving the people a better grasp
of the vital questions before the country. Voters are
doing a deal of thinking between the lines they read
and between the periods they listen too. They are
learning to distinguish between argument and empty
oratory, between authentic records and garbled, falsi-
fled quotations., learning to separate solid principles
from vague generalties. Perhaps some OF the men
and women of the day are learning to look beyond
creeds, traditions and hoary prejudices and at the
man, to take his measure.
Those are some of the reasons why Herbert
Hoover is favorite all over the country in the predlc-
lions and wagers that are being made. That is why
Hoover receives 60 per cent Of the vote in the Liter
ay Digest's nationwide poll. That is why millions
of voters see in Herbert Hoover a great man, a super
ior executive with a master mind. Big enough to
blot out the sins charged against the administrations
he has served under. Big enough to lead and too big
to be led. A man whose public utterances in this
campaign, especially his acceptance speech and his
speech this week at New York, reflect power and Wis
ion and sympathy. 1t is easy to predict that the great
decision, by the voters, men and women, will be for
Hoover.

proud.
In the economic conduct of his
office, George Porter stands high.
He has the almost unique distinc-
ton of turning back to the state
treasury almost $4,000 appropri-
ated for the expenses of his of
flee. The sum he returned to the
treasury on June 80, 1923, was
23,501.62. There are five depart
ments in his office, including audi
tor, insurance, investment, real es-
tate and fire marshal. He saved
that much from the money appro-
priated by the legislature for his
use, and handed it over to the
state.
He has invited anybody inter
ested to investigate the manner in
which he conducts his department
of the state administration.

by the repeal of that enactment.
But Smith does not suggest re
peal.
His statement implies that the
ting more alcoholic kick in the
booze, may be secured without re-
peal. 1t can, but only by nullifi-
cation, and the supreme court
won't permit that. The amend
ment prohibits Intoxicating liquor.
The Smith proposal is to amend
the amendment to give the states
the right to say how much alcohol
there shall be in beer and wine,
and other liquor. Such an alter
alton in the amendment would re-
peal it. Smith might just as well
have advocated outright repeal,
for the result would be the same.
If the change limited the right of
the state to prescribe the per cen
tage of alcohol deemed intoxicat-
ing, it would mean nothing be-
cause the Volstead act controls
that.
There is no way by which the
states could be empowered to han
die prohibition or regulation Of
the liquor evil but by repeal or
notification of the wet amend
ment and the Volstead act.
1t is idle to talk about allowing
the states TO sell booze, without
such repeal. That is precedent to
everything else. When the demo-
cratic candidate talks of light
wine and beer he is talking of in
.toxicating beverages, as defined
under the eighteenth amendment
and the Volstead act. Non-intoxi-
eating drinks are lawful today.
There is no magic by which Al
Smith could legally provide the
thirsty with light wines and beer,
or any intoxicating drinks, with
out first repeating the prohibition
laws, and his suggestion that there
is will not be taken seriously by
those who analyze the proposition.
Exchange.

ALFRED THE GREAT

There are many great Demo
Gratis. but AL Smith is not one OF
them. The convention at Hueston
could hardly have chosen a candi-
date from it's list of possibilities
who would not be looming larger,
with more votes in prospect, at
this stage of battle. Smith is I'M
doubtedly a regular devil in his
own home town-the idol of the
"bowery' and the "Eastside," with
their boards of humanity and near
humanity of assorted grades, who
four times made him governor by
out-yoting the York State farmers.
But how AL shrunk when he got
out West among westerners.
1t is truly pathetic to behold
some of those man-sized western
Democrats Loyalty keeping them
selves regular by campaigning -tor
a man who does not square with
their own avowed principles. 1t
is even sadder to see farmers and
farmers proven friends looking to
the advance agent of Tammany
Hall for justice. Only last year
this would-be Farmers Moses said
he could not think of any way to
aid agriculture. The only aid that
agriculture needs is a square deal.
And that is something not carried
in stock at Tammany Hall. IL
deals in office grabbing and office
holding.
The verdict of the voters will be
that the country, especially the
West, is already sufficiently dom
mated by New York capital and
New York votes.

HOOVER'S DIGNIFIED CAM
PAIGN

The ultimate event will prove
the nomination of Mr.. Hoover to
have been wise, and it may be said
with no less certainty that it was
entirely logical on the part of the
Republican party. He represents
not only the prevailing thought
and aspiration of the masses of
the party, barring a few small
groups and other oddments; he is,
in fact, a glorified symbol thereof.
This n scarcely needs to state,
is not obsequious flattery.
Beyond all other political fig
Ire of the day, the former secre-
tary of commerce is the apostle of
the gospel of efficiency. That vast
number of earnest men and wo-
men, some in high places and
some in humble, who press On
with such immense enthusiasm to
produce two units in the workshop
where one was produced before,
and who rather mistily talk of CO.
operation and services and find in
these magic words reinsurance
that somehow their untiring ener-
gy in material things serves an
idealistic end-that vast number
of people have in the Republican
nominee their perfect archtype.
AS a campaigner Mr.. Hoover is
proving equally efficient. He has
sought to place the campaign on
a high level and to confine it to
the discussion of the real issues.
He prefers the dignified course of
placing the issues sharply before
the people in a few addresses and
no attention to the other
side. His program has not been
changed because of anything his
adversary has said or done.-Rec-
ord Herald.

WHAT is WRONG
EAT?
WITH

Wheat has been selling too cheap.
The world has only about 75,0OO,-
600 bushels more in sight as this
is written, than it had last year,
and it's rye crop threatens to be
100, 900, 900 bushels short OF the
1927 total. Quite clearly other
causes than an over supply OF
bread grains r responsible for
the slump of wheat. One drag on
prices may be the heavy early
season selling of our own crop,
due to the speeding up of harVests
with the combine. Receipts OF
wheat at Kansas City in July,
were 35.4OO,O 900 bushels, nearly
twice the amount for July, 1927.
Then Canada has a bumper crop
to throw into the export markets.
It's also possible that the big boom
in business stocks has drawn
money away from grain trading,
lust when unusually heavy selling
of wheat created special need OF
buying support. With buying re-
duced, spectators who sell short
have had a better chance to beat
down prices. Later on-after
most of the crop has passed out
of farmers hands, unfortunately
wheat markets will probably move
up. Soft winter wheat and high
protein grades of hard wheat
seem especially certain to take a
rise. We haven't enough Of
either one for our domestic needs.
The whole situation is another

THE HAPPY OFFICEHOLDER

When Senator Robinson, the
dry tail of the wet Tammany
Tiger, made his slurring remark
at Casper that Mr.. Hoover had
never run for office in this coun-
try, China or Great Britain, he for
got to tell them this: While Mr..
Hoover was feeding 10000, 900
starving women, old men and
children in northern France and
in Belgium, Al Smith was the sher-
if of New York City, an office
that paid him about $4,000 per
year.-Record Herald.
