GOVERNOR SMITHS
SPEECH

Governor Smith opened his
campaign for the presidency
under suspicious conditions in
Omaha Tuesday. The weather
was ideal, being that of a de-
lightful smiling, sunshiny Sep
TENDER day native to peerless
Nebraska. His welcome was
typical Of the warm-hearted
West. Cheering non-partisan
throngs met him at the station
and lined the flag-flung thor
oughfares of our fair city
through which he was escort
ed. His good natured smile
and observation-disclosures air,
never associated with the con-
sentative East, but preeminent-
ly characteristic of the progress
sive West, put the New York
governor Immediately zen rap
port" with the citizenry of this
section. Whatever Omaha as
a whole may think of Alfred
e. Smith as candidate for the
presidency, there can be no
doubt that they like him as a
man.
A busy day eliminated with
his speech at the Auditorium,
crowded to capacity with an
enthusiastic audience, estimat-
ed at 10000, while other thou
sands unable to gain admit
lance thronged the streets, all
eagerly expectant to hear the
message of the man who may
be the next Chief Executive of
the Nation.
If any audience could inspire
q man to do his best it was such
a one as that which greeted
Governor Smith on this memoir

T HE MONITOR

In his speech Governor
Smith said nothing, as was to
be expected, and in this he is
at one with Herbert Hoover,
that especially or peculiarly
applied to the Negro, such as
the enforcement of the Four
Iteenth and Fifteenth amend
ments, Civil Service discrimina-
ton, Segregation of Federal
employees, Jim Crow car laws
in inter and intra-state travel,
and like disabilities against
which we justly complain and
with which we are constantly
becoming more dissatisfied. We
did not expect him to discuss
any of these delicate" matters
any more than we expect Mr..
Hoover, who is anxious for
votes in the "Solid South" to
do so. If, however, Farm Re-
lief" will bring general pros
perity to the country, our peo-
pie will share in it. We are
seeking no specific legislation
upon our behalf, all we are
seeking is the honest and cour-
ageous enforcement of the
Constitution of the United
States with all its amendments.
There is an apparent homes
ty, directness, straightforward
ness, friendliness and manli-
ness about Alfred E. Smith
which we admire and like. AS

He devoted the major por-
ton of his speech to a we'll
deserved criticism of the re-
publican party's pledges and
promises for so-called Farm
Relief-to our mind a rather
mythical thing. He showed
himself "the happy warrior"
in shooting his shafts into vul-
Inerable spots in the opposing
party's armor in its promises
to the farmer, still untitled or
unfulfillable. It's sins in this
respect are comparable, in our
Judgment, to those against the
Negro. Long on promises,
short on fulfilment. His shafts
were well aimed in this respect
at least.
Governor Smith made di-
Irect appeal for the agricultural
vote of this great section by
declaring his stand for the
principle of the McNary-Haug-
hen bill, pledging himself, in
the event of his election, to i'm
mediately call a conference of
farm experts to work out its
application. This is simply a
repetition of what he said in
his acceptance speech. That
was the chief objective of his
speech, purely an appello ad
agricolas, 81 appeal unto the
farmers" And let no one de-
lude himself as to its effective
ness.
In answering several ques-
tons, clearly propounded to
embarrass him, but which he
cleverly turned upon his pro-
Iponents, Governor Smith touch
ed upon, but did not discuss
prohibition, which he declared
was not the chief issue in this
campaign; the control of liquor
by the police power of the re-
ispective seates in which he de-
clared for the doctrine of
States Rights; the st. Lawrence
waterway and the Underwood
tariff bill.

TEXTILE RELIEF
CALLS WORKERS
TO AID STRIKERS
w, I. R. Sets Up Mill
Strike Aid Station

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, May A.
The Workers International Relief
has opened headquarters at the Fran
co-American Bldg, II Rodney French
Blvd. here, and has started relief
drive for funds for the 10000 strik-
ing textile workers, who walked out
of the New Bedford cotton mills al
most three weeks ago, protesting
against 10 per cent wage cut. The
campaign for funds will center IN
New England.
Mass meetings are held daily at "
Potomska St., in the south end and
at 43 Diman st. in the north end.
To understand the spirit Of the New
Bedford workers in this strike, one
must recall that in 1912 the 1. W. w.
conducted militant strike here
which had the enthusiastic and loyal
support of the rank and file workers
most of whom were Portuguese.
In the sixteen years ensuing these
workers have been betrayed over and
over again by the United Textile
Workers and the A. F. T. O., craft
organization, which were indifferent
to the thousands for unorganized work
ers, as long as they were able to
maintain small union of loomfixers
or spinners, whose dues would main
tain them in power.
This stI;ke in 1923 is different and
the Portuguese and Polish workers
and the workers of other nationalities
sense it, and they are joining the Tex
tile Mill Committee, working for it
and helping to build it up, so that
the 10000 textile workers of New
Bedford will be protected. All of the
old fighters in 1912 are taking an ac-
tive leadership today. Enthusiastic
Wobblies then, they are experienced
class-conscious workers now, who
have not allowed years of defeat and
betrayals to kill their spirit.
It is a wonderful strike in New
Bedford. The rank and file workers
have their chance now and they are
fighting hard for the Textile Mill
Committee, which is organizing them
and which is organizing all the tex
tile workers in New England. Help
them win their strike. Send funds
for relief to the Workers Interna-
tional Relief, 12 Rodney French Blvd.

is being spurned by the membership
throughout the strike district as fast
as it is being circulated, made its first
appearance at Indianola, Pa, last Sat

the pledge when they stepped into
line for their relief were refused

were those Of John Ferjan who has
two children aged three and four;

years and eight months old; Charles
