Struggle Between Parties
"A vote for Hoover in the present
campaign" he said, ais a vote APP
proving republican administrations
of the past, the republican record
and the republican platform. A vote
for Smith approves the past record
Of the democratic party and plat
form. This is not a campaign of in
dividuals. il is a struggle between
parties and your vote. when cast,
must approve one party or the 9TH
er. not one candidate or the other
The governor was given a prolOng-
ed ovation as he took the platform.
He was introduced by Cullen Thomas
90 Dallas. Lieutenant Governor Bar
~ Miller Of Dallas and Luther j.
Truett Of Mckinney also spoke be-
| fore Governor Moody opened his ad-
dress, which had been heralded as a
reply TO the speech which Senator
William f. Borah Of Idaho made here
ear er in the week. Murrell L. Buck
ner. chairman OF the Dallas county
democratic executive committee pre-
sided.
The governor lost no time in TAX
ing up the eudgels against Senator
Borah.
Il am not one who believes the
normal democratic majority in Tex
as is in doubt" he asserted. When
the republicans send out the import
bell wethers Of the party who come
down here and undertake TO beguile
democrats into affiliating with them
il is a challenge TO anyone who has
faith in the democratic party.
Il regret that the republicans have
seen fit to make Texas a battle
ground and bring an enemy Of Wood
row Wilson into the state. Borah
ought TO be answered for his state
ment that he was a friend OF Wood
row wills j..
battalion Of Death
"Borah. Lodge and Johnson organ
red the Battalion OF Death TO throw
stumbling blocks into President Will
sons pathway. This caused Wilson
20 start an extensive speaking cam
paign in defense of his policies which
resulted in his breakdown and ul-
timately his death. Borah reminds
me of a nan who pleads guilty to
a. muIuGI An1AGAAAEnA ~ S1GHo ~ vs.
tablish an alibi in advance.
Senator Borah was not a friend
Of Woodrow Wilson, his word for IL
to the contrary"
Moody then attacked Borah for his
record on woman suffrage and the
League Of Nations.
Even in time or war. Borah as r
republican. fought a democratic adj
m-inistration." be said. If Hoover
had administrative ability Borah had
TO rely on a democratic administra-
ton 10 prove il. Borah has been
silent as n tomb about Hoovcr's rec
ord between 1920 and 1926.
II believe Hoover is honest, bUi
why did he remain as a member Of
the republican cabinet without dis
covering that Fall. Forbes and DENLY
had all gone wrong. Borah has de
fled me to defend Alfred r. Smiths
stand on prohibition. | don't agree
with Governor Smith on prohibition.
That is my right. Why didn't the
republican president tell members of
his cabinet TO get out when corrup-
ton in high places became evident ?
Il opposed Governor Smith in the
first state convention and in that
convention | said that | would sup
port the nominee Of the party and |
will. I am for the democratic party
and tine things it stands for and
am against the republican party and
the things il stands for.
II have been accused or foTsak-
ing the cause Of prohibition. II
someone wants to find where | stand
on that let them start a war against
prohibition"
