CHIEF WEST RAPS
BOY SCOUT PROJECT
Proposed Campaign to Halt
Smoking by Women Is
Held Absurd.

~ the AkNoc1eted Fre&s
NEW YORK, July l3.-Use OF Boy
Scouts In q campaign to halt smoking
by women. as proposed by the Cleveland
Scout Council, has been repudiated by
the executive board Of the Boy Scouts
Of America.
The Cleveland Council recently adopt
ed a resolution condemning advertise
nlents tending TO induce women TO
smoke cigarettes, and the Scouts were
urged 10 adopt as another daily good
turn the creation Of sentiment against
smoking by women.
James z. West, chief Scout executive,
in letter 10 Floyd r. Rowe, president
Of the Cleveland Council, took the latter
organization 10 task for acting In a mat
ter which Is not in the province OF a
local council and which involves mis-
understanding as To the real aims and
purposes of the Boy Scout movement"
TO lis here" the letter said, lit is
most unfortunate, and indeed absurd
that a suggestion should be made by
any representative Of the Boy Scout
movement that Boy Scouts would APP
proach women smoking In public and
ask them 70 give up the habit.
1T is not within the province Of the
local, or even the national, council 70
undertake 10 pass resolutions or legis-
late on any Of the many problems be-
fore the American public. We are obli-
gated by our constitution TO avoid par
ticipation IN controversial and political

William Allen White Cites
Governors Record on Liq-

OLATHE, Kans, July 13.-Formally
opening the Republican campaign In
Kansas, william Allen White. Emporia
editor. in an address here last night
praised the personal courage OF GOV
Alfred E. Smith, but declared mis-
election would menace the Nation"
1T is not that Gov Smith is a Cath
Ollie and q wet which makes MIN an
offense to the villagers and town dwell
ers. but because his record shows the
kind Of President he would nlake-a
Tammany President" the editor SAID.
He is a, man of unusual intelligence,
splendid courage and rare political WIS
dom, Yet he has a curious record.
He has risen on that record TO a place
OF great power, but chiefly by the aid
Of 8Tammanys,' big and little, In great
cities.
Reviewing the Democratic nominees
record, Mr.. White said that In the new
York Legislature he had voted 10 tunes
against allowing the people TO vote on
any sort Of restriction on the sale OF
liouor: four times against stopping
gambling and prostitution In connec-
ton with saloons; three times against
repeating the law keeping the saloons
open on Sunday: four times In favor
of removing 1yning restrictions which
would keep open saloons from churches
and schools and three times In favor
OF laws sponsored by organized gam
bling.
"Tammany is Tammany, and Smith
Is its prophet" said Mr.. White.
THE whole Puritan civilization,
which has built a sturdy, orderly Ma
ton, Is threatened by Smith. His rec
ord explains what Tammany means.
