Urge Team Work
Judge r. W. Seabury, campaign
chairman for the eth senatorial
district. who presided while III. l..
Yates was serving on the organiza-
ton committee. called on several
members Of the audience for ad-
dresses. the speakers Including Judge
o. c. Dancy. Mrs. v. W. Taylor, and
Judge John I. Kleiber.
Judge Dancy discussed prohibition
and Tammany. stating they are not
issues in the campaign.
IL have always been a prohibit
ZIONIST" Judge Dancy said. "snd as
a firm believer in the principles of
prohibition ! resent the lax enforce
ment under a republican administra-
ton. ] have been a prohibitionist
al my life. Back in the mountains
of North Carolina, where was
raised they do not refer to corr in
the term Of bushels. but in galloT'
and IL required moral courage TO be
a rrohibitionist there"
Dancv cited government statistics
TO prove that during the administra-
ton of Woodrow Wilson the percent
z Of deaths from alcoholism show
ed a heavy decline. but during the
republican administrations the in
crease was steady until. under Presi-
dent Coolidge the death rate from
this cause is 400 per cent greater
than under the Wilson administra-
ton.
"Do you call that enforcement"
the judge asked. Woodrow Wilson
was a wet. the same as All Smith.
but he enforced the law. Presidents
Harding ard Coolidge have made a
farce of the prohibition law. and yet
the republicans have the nerve 10
ask the dry South to vote for Her
bert Hoover. who il pledged to
carry out the Coolidge policies"
Judge Dancy defended the record
of Tammany. stating that Boss
Tweed. when driven from power by
Tammany leaders Was succeeded by
Samuel J. Tilden "the friend or the
South at a time when the South
needed a friend"
Compare the clean. honest admin
istration OF New York with the ad-
ministrations Of Chicago, Philadel-
phia, Detroit. Cincinnati. and other
cities ruled by corrupt republican
rings. cities that are preyed upon
by political bosses who are the real
power behind the republican party
which is appealing to the voters OF
the South upon so-called mora is
sues. the speaker said.
Relative to the attacks upon Smith
that no church. either Protestant
that no church, neither Protestant
or Catholic, els free from intol-
erance and rascalS." He said that

but the religious issue has never
been injected into politics in the city
calling attention 70 the fact that the
city school board il composed entire
" Of Protestants and has repeatedly
been reelected BY Catholic voters
THE religious issue has never been
injected here, and It is not going to
be- he said.
In reference % the arti-Tammany
campaign, the speaker urged the
voters 70 remember that Tammany
X the oldest political organization in
the United States. 1T has had its
rascals and grafters." he said. ut
would be as logical to ask a Baptist
to desert his church on account Of
the Carnes embezzlements as IL Is 10
