his last speech Of the campaign out
side New York. He closes the fight
this week on home territory.
His spirit fired by the tidings that
he might lose the eight electoral
votes OF Maryland because of re-
ligious opposition to hinp in rural
Maryland, Governor Smith, with
characteristic aidacity. chose Balti-
more last night for one Of the most
sensational speeches Of the entire
campaign.
Defies Khan and Dry League
He ripped into intolerance with
both hands, denounced the Anti
saloon League and the Ku Klux
Khan by name, and while breath
less audience of 10000 people hung
on every word, he said:
would rather go down to
ignomoniDus defeat than to be
raised to the greatest position in
the gift Of the people by any influ-
.ence that may be exerted by any
organization with such perverted
ideas Of Americanism.
He was speaking particularly of
the Ku KIux Khan, just few mo-
meTts before he had said his re-
spects to the Anti-Saloon League,
which he denounced as .spropa-
ganda organization which intimi-
dated and threatened public officials
and which had set up an office
across from the Capitol ito keep
an eye on these fellows in Com
gress.

Smith.

intimidated officials? He knows diff
