investigator Tom Walsh OF Mon
tana. flown for time on q separat.
standard in last summers hattl.
for the democratic presidential
nomination, was hoisted higher thar
ever today in the camp of Gov
Smith.
| Walsh came to town yesterday, t.
get better acquainted with the mar
he opposed for time in the pre-
convention struggle and to talk over
the political situation in general
He had not been in conference ar
hour at the executive mansion be-
fore he prepared two flsted at
tack against the republican stand
ard bearer, assailed one of his for
mer senatorial colleagues. for bolt
ing his pant, and praised Gov
Smith as a l-ian who would intro
duce a human element at Wash
ington.
Like Gov. smith. the Montana
senator is a Catholic but an ardent
dry. In his fight for the nomina-
ton he had the support of William
G. McAdoo. Gov. Smiths famous
rival at the Madison Square Garden
convention four years ago, but after
his failure in the California primar-
les he withdrew in favor of the New
York governor
In this statement, Walsh said the
election of Gov. Smith would in
troduce into our national councils
something of the human element
sadly lacking under the regime of
Coolidge and Mellon
II believe" he added, that a.
republican struck responsive
chorus when he said he was going
to vote for Smith because he want
ed to see smile in the Whit.
House"
He and the democratic nominee
were not in agreement on SOME
questions widely considered"
Walsh said, but he thought. 1T were
vain to- look TO a candidate with
convictions representing millions of
voters who likewise have convic
tons and agreeing with them all on
all questions"
The most that can be hoped for.
he believes, is that he shall be with
them on undamentals-that on the
whole he shall bc'found more salts
factory to them than his opponent"
After praislng the governor's gem
iallty as irresistible" and his INTEL.
iectnal processes as 'refreshinsly
clear Walsh directed a bitter at
tack against the republican presi-
dental candidate and the demo-
cratic boiler without mentioning
their names.
