ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 11.-Gov-
ernor Alfred E. Smith has decided
to go into the West and Northwest
on his first campaign tour, some
what in the role of a crusader, with
an open bid for that numerous
mixture of farm, liberal, labor, wet
and foreign voters who rallied in
such astonishing numbers about the
banners Of the late Senator Robert
M. Lafollette in 1924.
Democrats deserted the party in
droves in the Northwest, leaving
John w. Davis for Lafollette.
The Democratic candidate has re-
ceived reports that much of the La
toilette vote will swing to him, Re-
publicans who deserted Coolidge as
well as the Democratic boilers.
Accordingly, he has determined to
make a strong appeal with his farm
relief program, his labor record, his
water power policy and his prohibit
ton modification stand issues which
appeal to the various elements.

1.-THE situation in Nebraska is
shaping up quite favorable to Gov

Polls taken through the State in
dictate that a. large proportion OF
the LaFollette vote, which was 10O,-
900, will go to Smith, that the Ger

cratic party in the war is coming
back, and that the farmers are dis
satisfied with Herbert Hoover'S
position on agricultural relief. The
German vote makes up about IL
per cent of the total he explained

BY JAMES p. KIRBY
Special NEA Service Writer
Sent. 11.-Racketee


ing now is Big Business.
1.-THE Racket, "-organized graft,
corruption and crime-has grown
to proportions that seem magnihed
beyond imagination.
In Chicago aIone-the birthplace
of the "racket"-the receipts Of
these organized gangsters are from
S50,000,00O to $75,000,000 annually, it
conservativeIy is estimated.
In addition to garnering huge
profits from bootlegging, gambling
and vice, racketeers now either con-
troll or are active in fifty larger
and $50 smaller lines of business
and other activity in Chicago and
collect an enormous tribute for pro-
lection from their own violence.
For years, the racket" has been
distinctively Chicago institution.
But it has been found such a profit
able form of crime there that it is
spreading to the other large cities
of the Middle West.
Invade Other Cities
ST. Louis, Detroit, Cleveland and
Pittsburgh, heretofore complacent
in their disdain of Chicago's terror
ism, are awakening to find an in
vasion of racketeering with the &C
cepted weapons-dynamite, stencil
bombs, the torch and machine guns.
1t is much safer and more profit
able to form rackets than it is to
plan big mail or bank robberies.
Dividends" so far have been paid
with amazing regularity.
In Chicago, there is large num-
Der of "mobs," as the gangs of
racketeers are now called. At the
head of each mob is an acknowl-
edged and undisputed leader.
These leaders apparently have
reached agreements to divide up
the forms of graft and tribute and
collections.
For instance, Al Capone, the out
standing racketeer, controls the
beer trade and is said to direct all
the rackets in the loop-Chicago's
principal business section.
Other "mob" leaders have other
districts and indulge in other forms
of racketeering.
Leaders are Shrewd
The rather frequent outbreaks of
gang warfare generally can be
traced to some violation or suspect
ed violation of these agreements.
The men at the head of the
rackets are extremely shrewd and
skillful, with genius for organ
ization.
Racket mobs in Chicago now con-
troll practically all the bootlegging,
gambling and vice, but in addition
have extended their domination to
many forms of legitimate business
The stunt of the racket is to in
crease or keep up prices in any line
of business and for this service (for
which the public must pay) extort
enormous sums from business men.
Defiance of the racket generally
brings violence.
This kind of racket started in
the dry cleaning industry, with the
public and the dry cleaners being
taken for a cleaning"
Next: Chicago murders and gang
warfare.
