Issue to Hide Record.


OKLAHOMA CITY. September 22.-
Tonight has been set by DR.. John Roach
S.raton, fundamentals Baptist pastor
of New York campaigning against Gov
Alfred E. Smith, to answer charges
made by the presidential candidate IN
his speech here Thursday night.
Dr. Straton, an address last nIght,
said he had arranged for a second APP
pearance at the Coliseum tonight. at
which time he would discuss lin every
detail" the governors allegations that
his religion had been made campaign
issue and that whispering campaign
was in progress.
Speaking from the same platform
where the New York governor "A hours
earlier had pleaded for tolerance and
pilloried certain organizations and peo-
pie for attacking him on what he de-
clared religious grounds the pastor
charged the governor with raising the
religious issue to hide his own muddy
record
Not one of us have raised the reli-
gious issue" he said. L have not said
one word concerning Gov. Smiths right
to worship God according to his own
dictates There has not been the rell-
gious issue except as he has lugged
it in
Called Tool of Tammany.
Gov, Smith was labeled a tool of
T2mmany Hall by the pastor, who was
frequently applauded by the moderately
sized crowd in the hall.
Taking up discussion of Gov. Smith S
record in New York State politics. DR..
Straton repeated previous charges bear
ing on the executives alleged opposition
to reform measures and said:
However, do not believe Gov. Smith
would knowingly and deliberately pro-
tect gambling. vice and crime. simply
believe he failed to look deeply behind
the results of his votes and actions.
Gov. Smith simply did the bidding
of Tammany Hall. and therefore has
proven himself to be the type of poll
tician whose acts undoubtedly have be-
friended the most destructive and I'M
moral forces of our time.
my friends. we have come to the
strangest paradox of modern times, III
the fact that it has fallen to my lot, as
one of the leading fundamentalists and
anti-evolutionistS of the country, to dis
cover. 10 Sonuectlon with the preSi-
dental campaign, the long-loSt and
much desired missing link 1t is the
miserable monstrosity, this hybrid i'm

ties. it has wet head and dry tai"
The pastors reference was to dec
laration in his speech that Senator
Joseph T. Robinson. vice presidential
candidate, and Gov. Smith were stump
ing respectively for dry and wet votes.
Meeting Gov. Smiths countercharge
against 1.-The whispering campaign" the
pastor said:
Last Monday night a week ago I
whispered to some 10000 cheering
anti-Smith Democrats down st Miami
and another million listened in over the
radio. So it has gone at Raleigh, N. c.;
Jacksonville, Atlanta, Little Rock and
all down the line"

PRINTING OF SPEECH HIT.
sugurue Charges Unfair Shop Pub
lished Hoover Address.

The Republican national committee
is accused by P. A. Sugurue, secretary
of the AL Smith Democratic Club, OF
having had Herbert Hoover's speech. al
Newark, N. j., on September II. print
ed by a Washington concern that is
rated unfair to organized labor by the
Allied Printing Trades of the District"
In a formal statement issued today
Mr.. Sugurue said
1T is amusing that the Republican
national committee, who contracted for
the work, should have its candidate de-
liver an address to labor from manu-
script printed under sweat shop condl-
tionS.
THE attempt to bewilder labor by the
injection of a mass of meaningless fig
ures in the place of cold facts was bad
enough, but to have the audacity to
read the speech from scab manuscript
is an objectionable offense against the
great army of organized wage earners
in the United States"

GATHER
TO GREET CURTIS
Crows Prepare to Adopt Him
Into Tribe at Montana
PoW-WoW.

BY the Associated Press.
HARDIN. Mont, September 22.-On
the banks of the historic Little Big Horn
River here today Senator Curtis. the
Republican vice presidential nominee,
found new bands of his Indian kinSmen
anxious to honor him.
For days the Grows and the Chey-
ennes have been assembling here, and
they were up early today to welcome
their distinguished Kaw friend whose
private car was left here during the
night after ride from Sheridan, Wyo.,
where the Senator spoke last night.
Dressed in their picturesque regalia, the
Indians were preparing to adopt
Charlie" Curtis into their tribe if the
opportunity afforded. Chief Plenty Coos
of the Grows had made the arrange
ments for the ceremonial.
Tribes Encamped.
This is a real Indian country, and it
looked the part today with the tribes
from all sections of the State encamped
about. Not far from here Gen. Custer
fought his last fight against the Indians,
and it was planned to show the Senator
the scene of the massacre later today.
Senator Curtis welcomed the Indian
pow-Wow. the second he has attended
this week, as a brief interlude in his
whirlWind campaign of the Northwest.
But later today he hurrieS on to Bill
lings, where he is to speak tonight. The
Republican vice presidential nominee
took the Republican campaign into
Wyoming last night in a speech to a
crowd which overlooked the newly erect
ed tabernacle in which revival services
soon will be held. He urged a higher
tariff on agricultural products, and at
tributed the farmers troubles to the
Underwood tariff act in effect at the
close of the war
Finding two engagements on his pro-
gram for tomorrow, Senator Curtis an
nounced that he would not make
speeches on Sunday, and would keep no
appointments hereafter on the Sabbath.
Follow Itinerary.
The itinerary of the Senator showed
he was to be in Idaho Falls and Poca-
tello. Idaho, tomorrow. His program did
not indicate that speeches had been
promised, but the nominee gave definite
notice that he would make no speeches
He said he would follow the itinerary
mapped out. however, and visit the
cities on the itinerary.
Republican leaders on hand for the
celebration here included Joseph M
Dixon, candidate for Senator; Repre-
sentative Leavitt and wellington D
Rankin, candidate for governor. Thomas
D. Campbell, wheat grower, invited the
Senator and his party to luncheon.
A barbecue also had been arranged
at the fair grounds. The Senator had
prepared an address for delivery here
showing what he termed the benefits OF
the wool industry under the Republican
tariff. But he gave his first attention
to visiting with the Indians.

Banquet Will Be Held
Tomorrow Eve

That the Workers Center at 1928
Union Square, tho it is not yet COM
pletely established, has already come
to be looked upon as the center of
revolutionary activity in this vicinity
became clearly evident with the ar
rival yesterday of the first group of
delegates to the National Nominating
Convention of the Workers (Commu-
nist) Party.
The delegates, most of them from
the far west and southwest, imme-
diately went to the Workers Center,
registered there and then began to
inspect with approving eyes the new
home of the revolutionary movement.
All expressed themselves with great
enthusiasm concerning the Center and
voiced the hope that in the not dis
tant future every city in the United
States would have such building
as the center of it's revolutionary ae-
tivity.
With the holding of the banquet
tomorrow evening for the delegates to
the National Nominating Convention
in the Workers Center, the Center
will once more receive official recog-
milton of its position in the Commu-
mist movement. The banquet will be
held on the third floor of the build
ing, which viii be festively decorated
for the occasion.
Plans are proceeding rapidly for
the concert to be held at the Center
Saturday evening, June 2, to celebrate
the official wind-up of the drive for
$4,000 to establish the Center. The
musical and artistic end of the pro-
gram is in charge of George Cookley,
who is working hard to make it a
success. He announces that N. MAJ
aroff, distinguished Russian baritone,
and L. Newell, harpist and soloist of
the Capitol Theatre Symphony Or
chestra, will be among those on the
program.
In order that the drive may be
completely ended on June 2, all work.
ers are urged to turn in all collection

NEGRO STRIKER
TELLS OF Miners
FIGHT FOR UNION
Speaks in Harlem for
Relief

Negro Harlem is hearing the story
of George w. Hawkins, miner-preach-
er, concerning exploitation of colored
men in western Pennsylvania mines.
Hawkins was evicted from his home
at Frederickstown, Pa, along with
other striking mine workers. He has
set up Negro Miners Relief Head
quarters at 200 w. 135th st.
Colored labor agents, says Haw-
kins, are securing the country for
mine strikebreakers, scattering fanei-
full tales of high wages, but the mis-
guided workers find only hard, dam
gerous work at SO cents an hour and
even less. They are not permitted to
leave company premises. Their trans
portation expenses are taken from
their pay, instead Of being borne by
the company, as promised. Tags are
taken from the coal cars, thus cut
ting their wages.
Hawkins is explicit before Negro
audiences in telling how white coal
and iron police crack colored skulls.
"Lord only knows how these poor
people stand it ALL" he says. "The
best thing the strikebreakers can do
is to pull a strike themselves. They
can't be no worse off than they are
now"
