OWEN DISi,L AIMS
SMITHS ACCURACY
Refers to Governors Charge
He Sought Tammany
Aid in 1924.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Robert L. Owen. former Democratic
Senator from Oklahoma. who has an
nounced for Herbert Hoover, issued a
statement yesterday disclaiming the
accuracy OF the memory" of Gov
Smith, who had questioned Ovens sim
certify in attacking Tammany and who
had declared Owen sought Tammany
aid in 1924 as a presidential candidate.
The press announces" Owen said
that Gov. Smith questions my sincerity
in criticizing Tammany and gives as an
alleged reason that not only compelS
me to question his sincerity but to dis
claim the accuracy Of his memory"
COMMITTEES Issues Statement
Mr.. Owen stated two days ago when
Coz. Smith first spoke that he did not
intend to engage in any controversy OF
words with the Democratic presidential
candidate His statement today was is
sued through the Republican national
committee after he had called there.
He made no other reference TO Gov.
Smiths statement that he sought Tam
many aid.
Until Tammany is thoroughly re-
formed I refuse to follow its leader
ship" the statement read In part Amy
suggestion that I have ever approved
the Tamnany system has no founda-
ton. / should rejoice to see Tammary
reform and support the principles of
progressive Democracy.
Neither TamTnany nor Gov. Smith
has any claims whatever on my loyalty,
for Tammany. Of which Gov. Smith
has been and is a part. has been dis
loyal to the Democratic presidential
candidates ever since Gov Smith be-
came its employe SO years ago"
Loyalty Is Reciprocal"
The justification for my refusal 10
follow Tammany, ne added. will be
found fully set forth in Werner's recent
book 'Tammany Hail which gives the
worst record of organized graft, human
selfishness and wickedness In American
history
The governor is mistaken" he de-
clared. in thinking / have left the
Democratic party. have left him be-
cause OF his Tainmany environment
and Affiliations and because he bolted
the Democratic platform and because
Hoover promises wonderful prosperity
TO America. An overwhelming defeat
for Tammany may teach these happy
warriors that when by a monumental
intrigue they purloin the nominating
powers Of the dry anti Tammany
Democrats and nominate a wet Tam
many man they cannot expect the sup
port Of the anti Tammany drys. Loyalty
is reciprocal. and when the Tammany
vets are disloyal to the anti-Tammany
drys they have no ethical or moral basis

II am throwing no mud at Gov
Smith. He is honest. he is brave. he
is intelligent I don't question his
motives. To get where he is with
his crowd he had to do what he did,
and from his viewpoint it was probably
worth the price. but the real point of
interest in that record for the Ameri-

fend it, is the picture OF Tammany
putting the pressure on fine, aspiring
young men like AL Smith. forcing them
to use their courage, not upon the evils
of Tammany, but in behalf of the
friends of Tammany.
THE record will show how Tammany
demands that a man of Gov Smiths
intelligence twist that intelligence into

overlays his conscience with Tammany
psychology so that his loyalty Is to

rose on this record, and today the is
