New York, Nov. 1.-(AP)--With
=. dash into New Jersey where he
criticised his Republican opposition
for what he. characterized as fool
ing Of the people" on al the big
questions Of the day, Governor
Smith has wound up his campaign
away from home.
Speeches in Brooklyn tomorrow
night on state issues and in New
York City Saturday night will con-
clude the Governors appearances
before large campaign audiences.
He will make . radio appeal from
his suite in the Hotel Biltmore on
election eve after Herbert Hoover
has had his final say to the voters
from Palo Alto, Calf.
Last night Smith spoke at the
113th regiment armory, Newark, af-
ter having been acclaimed by thou
sands Of torch-bearing well-wishers
during his trip by automobile
through Hoboken, Jersey City and
other points en- route. He tore into
the Republican campaigners IN
sarcastic fashion, particularly - to
their arguments on labor and farm
relief.
Assails Borah, Hughes
He attacked Hoover's speech made
in the same armory several weeks
ago and assailed Charles Evans
Hughes and Senator Borah, the
mention Of whose names brought
boos from the audience.
Hughes, he said, amid laughter,
should hive hen the Republican
candidate for PRESIDENT instead od
Hoover because he y1s doing more
to elect the Republican president
than 4the' nolminee Aimseh." ."
He said Hoover made an exa1ger.
ated statement when he declared in
Newark that real wages and stand.
ards of living of our labor have i'm.
proved during the past seven and 1
half years Of Republican rule, than
during any similar period in tho his
tory Of the country" Credit for
such conditions was given to Wood
row Wilson by the Democratic NOM
inee. es
After challenging figures from
the opposition camp on unemploy-
ment and assailing the Republican
plank on labor injunctions, Smith
said his own program called for the
necessary appropriation to che de-
partment Of labor" to enable it to
make adequate surveys on unem.
ployment 80 "this question Of YER
acity. - between officials" will never
arise again.
Republicans in Panic
A for farm relief, he said the Re-
publicans were in . "panic" and he at-
tempted to, prove this by relating
how Governor McMullen, Of Ne
braska and Senator Borah had gone
to Washington to "plead" with Moo
yer to favor an extra session Of con.
gress to deal with this question.
"The care Of the exportable sur
plus crops" said the governor, ''is
the underlying, fundamental ques-
ton behind constructive farm relief,
and Mr.. Hoover is unalterably op-
posed to that"
"Let Us devote just q few minutes
to this question Of prohibition" the
governor said.
If ever there was q deliberate
attempt to becloud the issue, it has
taken place in relation to the eigh-
teenth amendment and the Volstead
act. I know perfectly well that the
president Of the United States cam
not amend the constitution. Mr..
Hughes does not have to tell me that.
] know that, and what is more, /
know that he knows that ! know It.
Nobody in the campaign 80 far
has made any suggestion. What ]
did suggest was that was willing
to take the leadership Of the Amer
lean people for the purpose Of try
ing to find = solution Of that prob
lem"
