NEWARK, N. j., Nov. IA left
handed surrender for the purpose Of
shaking votes out of the straw
stacks Of the "grass-rootS" country
was the manner in which Governor
Albert e. Smith summarized In a
speech here Wednesday night, Hoo
ver's declaration for a special ses-
sion Of congress, upon his election,
to solve the nations farm problems.
Deriding the G. o. P.'s nominee
Tor his last minute appeal to the
"man with the tractor" he asked
what the Republican candidate could
hope to accomplish in special ses-
sion under the farm relief plank as
vanished by his party in conven-
tion at Kansas City.
In his address in New Jersey, with
an eye to appeal to the dinner-pail
carriers of the states manufactur-
ing cities, Smith promised the
workmen of the nation that the
Democratic party if placed in power
would lend the abuse of the power
of injunction in labor disputes"
with a definite remedy by law.
Hughes-Herb's eyes Man"
Charging Hoover with tossing a
smoke screen over his speeches, in
mumbled words lacking clarity, he
said, "I have made myself perfectly
clear. The man who has not spoken
clearly is Hoover"
AS the crowd of 10000 cheered the
Democratic candidate clarioned
Charles E. Hughes as the Eyes man"
for Mr.. Hoover.
What have we-the same old
thing that we have suffered for
eight years-a candidate for the Of
flee of the presidency, who is unable
to talk for himself. Why didn't Mr..
Hughes accept the Republican can
didacy?"
Delving into the Republican
party's desperation on the farm re-
lief question, he cited that Gov
ernor McMullen of Nebraska had
hurried to Washington to urge Hoo
yer to call a special session of con-
gress as the best method to ballyhoo
"plow'' votes for the Republican
ticket.
1.-THE story of these conferences is
an interesting sidelight on the Re-
publican candidate. They must
have begged him to say something,
anything to appease the farmer.
Just a few kind words, anything"
he declared.
Eight Years of Broken Pledges
"The first conference failed, but
Immediately thereafter Senator Bo-
rah was closeted with the G. o. p.
nominee-and Hoover yielded.
''He spoke a kind word, he actu-
ally got himself to the poin5 to say
ing extra session."
But what can they hope to ac-
complish with this session. Hoover
has refused to accept the principle

be no adequate relief" Smith said.
"In effect he and his advisers have
said, we have given you nothing in
eight years but broken promises.
Forget the past. Give us renewal
Of power on the 9Th of November
and we will give you prompt action
but no relief"
The governor argued that the Re-
publican party was attempting to
fool the laboring man with its pros
perity declaration for the future"
and the short meaningless para
graph the party had slipped into
the platform on injunctions In labor
disputes.
mo pledge is made to pass legis-
lation. Instead we have the memory
of Republican attorney general be-
ing the most hagrant offender in
securing injunctions of abusive
nature"
Denies Prohibition Sham
With a sarcastic tinge the Gov
ernor attacked the Republican CAM
paign committee for 80 generously
expending it's funds advertising in
newspapers that all working neil
are eating chicken, wearing silk
socks, and riding in automobiles. >
He chided Hoover over the un
employment situation and his fail
ing not to know the exact number
of unemployed.
"I favor adoption of program to
prevent unemployment and the nee
essary appropriation to the depart
ment of labor to study the condi
tions of labor" he asserted
The Governor answered Hughes
charge that his prohibition battle
was sham" with II said clearly
what I would do"
Opponents to his stand on immi-
grafton were answered with, II shall
do nothing to weaken or impair ex-
listing laws"
On water power he reiterated his
desire to have the government keep
its hands on the switch that turns
on or off the power"
