 Attacking the opposition of for mer Senator Robert L. Owen. . democrat of Oklahoma, who had refused to support Smith because of his utilization with Tammany Hall, the governor early in his speech shouted. T challenge Senator owen. or anybody he can get. to come to New York and find anything wrong in my record"
 He ain't ours" came voice when Smith referred to Senator Owens support of Hoover Do Senator Owen and the forces behind him know more about my record than these distinguished men | and women who have watched and studied it?" the governor asked aft CT a detailed recitation of his pub lie record and quoting from com mendation of his stewardship as governor by such republican lead CTS as Charles Evans Hughes and Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler presi- dent of Columbia university. Owen Not Sincere
 But Senator Owen is not sim cere," Smith said. They know that this Tammany cry is an at tempt to drag a red herring across the trail
 "I know what lies behind all this and 1 shall tell you. I specifically refer to the question of my re- ligion.
 Ordinarily that word should new CT be used in political campaign. The necessity for using it is forced on me by Senator Owen and his kind. and I feel that at least once in this campaign. I. as the candi- date of the democratic party. owe it to the people of this country to discuss frankly and openly with them this attempt of Senator Owen and the forces behind him to in ject bigotry, hatred. intolerance and un- American sectarian division into a campaign which should be an in tellgent debate of the important issues which confront the American people,, .
 In quoting his record as governor, Smith cited support of measures designed to aid agriculture and to bring about water power develop ment.
 T smile when I hear it said that Gov. Smith knows nothing about the farm. He's a city man." the speaker said. Although city man, l can say to you without fear of contradiction that did more for agriculture and for it's promotion in the state of New York than any governor in recent history" K. K. x. Letter
 Turning to discussion of letter said to have been written by grand dragon of the ku klux klan in Ar kansas to a delegate to the demo- critic convention in which the klans- man was quoted as saying vote against Smith was a move in the upholding of American ideals and institutions, the governor condemn ed the klan as totally ignorant of the history and tradition of this country and it's institutions"
