In exchange for a like contribution
The treasury secretary disclosed
that the bonds had been sent to him
BY Will H. Hays, former chairman
of the republican committee, and
that when Hays subsequently called
upon him TO explain the purpose he
had declined TO keep them as sug-
gested. He added that he had re-
turned the bonds 10 Hays and short

tribute 20 the fund being raised to
clean up the republican deficit. He
also informed the senate committee

SMITH ATTACKED
FOR STATEMENTS
New York G. O. P. State Com.
mittee Hits Governors Ac-
Ceptance Speech Stand.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September lion the
eve of Gov. Smiths Western speaking
tour, the New York Republican State
committee yesterday issued statement
criticizing statements made by the gov
ernor in his acceptance speech on ca
mails, prohibition, the tariff, tmmlgra-
ton and corruption.
On the subject of canals, the state
ment charged that previous utterances
by the governor were very different
from the acceptance speech stand OF
Mr.. Smith, who now finds that engi-
neers have challenged the feasibility Of
his proposed New Observation-Disclosures
ship canal and promises farmers of the
West to review and weigh his past canal
convictions"
Attack on Prohibition Stand.
Under the heading Prohibition" the
statement said that IF Gov. Smith
would be sincere about enforcing the
Volstead act as President of the United
States, it seems proper to inquire why
he has not exercised the powers he out
lines to enforce this act as Governor of
the State of New York"
Discussing the tariff, the statement
said, that lin his acceptance speech he
is for q tariff that will maintain high
wages for American workmen," and
that before he was candidate for the
presidency Gov. Smith was not so care
full in his expressions"
Under the subject of Corruption" the
statement quoted the governor as charg-
ing in his acceptance speech that 'the
Republican party today stands respon-
sible for the widespread dishonesty that
has honeycombed its administration. !"
The statement then recalls that the
governor is sachem of Tammany Hall
and added:
New York Graft Charged.
"City departments have been shown to
be honeycombed with organized graft
ranging from the theft of millions from
taxpayers by means of exorbitant prices
for sewer pipe in the borough Of Queens
to petty extortion from the poor by city
marshals. Moral conditions have been
commented upon In the indictment pub
lished by the committee of IA. Demo-
cratic leaders of the governors own
party have labeled the organization of
which he is the head as menace to
the Nation"
