The campaign leaders Of the republican party are 20
Be commended upon the sweeping denuncation issued
Monday in which they take 70 task the bigots, profess
sional politicians. disseminators Of SANDER and other
elements behind the camFsign Of villification launched
In opposition 70 Governor al Smith.
DR.. Hubert Work, chairman Of the republican ma
tionai committee, when presented copies Of anonymous
literature circulated by enemies Of the New York gov
ernor, and also the text OF the address delivered by
Mrs. Willebrandt, assistant attorney general, at Co.
lumbus. Ohio. last Friday. promptly announced there
was no connection between the republican campaign
committee and the traducers Of the New York governor.
Commenting upon some Of the literature dissent
mated In opposition to Governor Smith and obviously
in the interest Of the Hoover campaign. DR.. Work said:
"Thcre may be no law TO prevent their use, but they
are an offense to common decency, and every true
American should and will resent such tactics. / wish
to denounce these and similar utterances or statements
from whatever source and irrespective Of the candidate
they attempt to malign."
While the republican leaders may be sincere In
their effort to maintain the campaign on a high plane,
apparently they are unble to control certain jealous
and fanatical elements whose fanaticism is further in
famed By such attacks az that launched by the as
sistant attorney general.
The republican leaders are astute politicians. They
realize that unless they can control the ~fanatical ele-
ments responsible for the scurrilous features Of the
campaign, their cause will be seriously menaced. There
are millions Of level-headed American voters who re-
sent such tactics, and who will express their resent
ment in no unmistakable terms in November unless
the flood Of libel is stopped at its source.
The political history Of the United States is repIete
with similar appeals to fanaticism and bigotry, though
never on such . scale as that recently launched by the
propagandists. History also reveals that the American
voters have consistently refused to be stampeded by
such appeals and have invariably r~etaliated by express
Ing their resentment in the voting booth.
For the republican campaign generals there Is real
cause Tor WORRY IN fHn rffuntfnm The nu~4s~- ----
tain 70 ccme-and they know IL. That reaction win
come from loyal Americans who believe in honesty in
politics ard fair play; IL will come from those millions
q voters who believe that to every man must he
granted the prerogative to worship God az his cwn
conscience dictates.
Smith supporters are not worried By the campaign
Of libel villification and Islander. They are confident
the good judgment OF the American voters will prevail
las 4 always has-and when the ballots are counted
IN November the returns will clearly indicate that such
campaigns sct as . boomerang for those who inaugu-
rate them.

purity, her innocence. As n result,
he put all physical thoughts from
his mind, and determined on a pIa-
tonic affection, in which his greatest
happiness would come from serving
her, helping her 10 attain success.
Strange delusion, for a hard-headed
business man Of 81.
Trene's thoughts were far less COM
plex. She had discovered David
sons weakness. and determined to
make use Of it TO her own advantage.
That was all. She understood pre-
ciscIy the effect produced upon him
by her seemingly girlish and limo
cent fondling. She would lean
against him, pat his cheek, his hand,
rrang his tie, ven give him impul-
siye little caresses such rs she might
have given to a middle-aged uncle,
but she was under no illusions con
corning the effect OF these blandish-
ments. The emotions produced BY
them she meant that MIR. Davidson
should sublimate TO more spiritual
ends. namely, the advancement Of
Irene Shirley
Had he been less s%crupulous in his
attitude, had he suggested that they
play the usual game OF sex, she
would have refused Indignantly, not
on moral grounds particularly but
solely because she realized that once
her pose of innocence vas destroyed,
the power she now welded over him

CHAPTER X.

n.
As for her stag career, she touch
ed upon it lightly. She had, SO she
told him, neen IN. musical comedy
for a while, but an urge to more
worthwhile things had sent her, first
into vaudeville, where she had head
ed her own company. and later. into
the world Of the screen, where she
was determined to make a name for
herself.
II would have made small differ
ence what she told Mr.. Davidson in
his infatuated state or mind. What
really counted was her youth, her
beauty, her sex appeal, cleverly con-
ccaled behind a mask Of innocence.
The warm, fragrant freshness Of
her. ac~centuated by heavy, sensuous
more eloquent than any mere words
could have been.
Davidson renewed his own ebbing
youth In a contemplation of hers,
content TO sit beside her. hour after
hour, ministering to her smallest
wants allowing her to bully him in
a pretty, childish way. happy in the
belief that all the things she told
him about himself, about his won-
derful brain. his keen judgment. his
artistic perceptions. were gospel
truth-or at least that she 50 be-
lieved them.
He thought her sincere, because
youth is sincere, and her assumption
OF girlish simplicity swept away the
syinicism BY which he had guarded
and defended himself against the
~self-evident snare Of more mature
sirens. Irene was like a hawk in
doves plumage, beEailing the wisest
OF barnyard fowls.
In the evenings they played cards,
or she read to him, asking his opin-
ion OF this or that passage, listening
to his words gratefully, although
as d matter Of fact she knew a great
deal more about the matters snder
discussion than he did. When she
had retired for the night, which she
invariably did quite early, he would
sit for hours, smoking. dreaming
impossible dreams.
Had he been a single man. he told
himself, he would have asked Irene
to marry him. But there stood in
the background the figure Of his
wife. Rnarled, ~unlovely, but faithful.
His feeling Of dependence upon her,
the prejudices Of his race against
divorce. precluded any thoughts OF
dismissinR this companion OF his
youth. She had encouraged him
through many lean years: he could
not bring himself TO discard her In
