FARM HELP AND

 SMITHS THEME
Democratic Nominee for McNary-Haugen Principle
 and Liquor Control

OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 1S.-Gov. Alfred E. Smith stands squarely on the principle of the McNary- Haugen Bill, which has been frowned upon by the Administra- 1 tion, but does not limit himself
 to the 'exact mechanics and methods embodied in the meas ure."
 The Democratic nominee made this declaration last night in his first campaign speech. He also assailed the Republican Party,
 President Coolidge and Candi- date Hoover for their stand on farm relief.
 Gov Smith wound up an
 hours address devoted almost wholly to farm relief with an extemporaneous discussion of Pro- hibiticn, replying to queries ask ed him in a full page newspaper advertisement by group of Omaha citizens. The Governor declared emphatically that he did
 not regard liquor as the greatest issue in the campaign, and as- serted that the President can do nothing about it except to make recommendations to Congress and assume leadership on the ques- tion.
 The nominee told the people that the prevention of the sale of liquor is an exercise of the police power, and, he added, q have clearly shown that if a ma jority of the people of given States voted for the exercise of that police power in that direc- tion they should get it to the limit; on the other hand, follow ing the well defined Jeffersonian principle of State rights, the States that does not want the exercise of that police power ought to be in position through a majority of it's people to say so. "
 This declaration of Gov. Smith brought forth a great outburst of applause. It was made n re- sponse to the inquiry: How will your proposal for the sale of liquor in a few States meet your issue of personal liberty in other States?"

The abductors threatened to decapitate the boy and send his head to his parents unless the ransom of $15,000 was paid.
 While the three suspects were held, the police freed three others, each of whom picked up a decoy package left on the ele- vated platform in accordance with instructions received by the boys father. The men declared they acted innocently in picking up the package.

 While the issues are fairly well defined, and were so defined early in the campaign, the emblematieal elephant and donkeys have felt the pain of bolts-for much bolting has there been. For awhile the respective parties were certain of the issues, but they were not cer- tain who would stay to fight the issues.
 In Nebraska the bolting route has been resorted to by two lead CTS. Dr. Jennie Callfas, bone dry. announced her support of Her bert Hoover and declared that her job as National Committeewoman of the Democratic Party was va cant She did not offer her resig- nation, however.

Alexander Hamilton left a profound impress upon
the American government. He did not have his way
altogether. but he kept jefferson and other advocates
of popular rule from going as far a. they wanted to
20 in democratizing the government.
Hamilton hadn't much respect for "the people, In
the Federal Convention on June is. 1857, he said:
"All communities divide themselves into the few
and the many. The first are the rich and w~ell-born,
the other the mass OF the people. The voice ef the
people has been said to be the voice Of God; and, how
ever generally this maxim has been quoted and be-
lieved, it is not true to fact.
THE people are turbulent and changing; they sell
dom judge or determine right. Give. therefore. to the
first class a distinct, permanent share in the govern
ment. They will check the unsteadiness OF the sec
ond, and, As they cannot receive any advantage by a
change. they therefore will ever maintain good govern
ment."
This from one Of the founding fathers is a bit
shocking to a believer in democracy. But Hamilton
wasn't a believer in democracy. and he was honest and
straightforward in saying 50. He believed the we'll
born could rule better than others. especially il they
were rich. He was so far from being well-born and
rich himself that his father, a bankrupt was not mar.
ried to his mother. But he was sristocratic by nature,
and he had little faith in common folk.
James Truslow Adams has put together into a book
an Illuminating collection OF Hamilton's writings and
speeches. The book is called "Hamiltonian Principles
and 1t ought to be read By those who are interested in
the American government and how it came to be what
il is.

have a good executive upon a democratic plan. See

above temptation. lie can have no interests distinc,
from the public welfare. Nothing short Of such an ex-
ecutve can be Efficient
If Hamilton had prevailed, we would have had a
monarchy long before this. n jefferson had prevailed,
We would have had popular government carried to a
greater extent than most Americans are accustomed 10
think about. Compromise gave US the excellent form
Of government we now enjoy.
