Al TAKES WALL
ST. NOMINATION
Against Injunctions, If
"Unwarranted"

ALBANY, N. Y, August 22.-
Speaking on this anniversary of the
murder of Sacco and Vanzetti by
American capitalism, but with no
sign of recognition of its significance
to the working class of the world,
Alfred E. Smith, Tammany- Wall
Street candidate for the presidency
of the United States, tonight ac-
cepted the democratic party's NOM
ination.
Smiths speech was a peculiar
mixture of the promise of humble
obedience to the will of finance-capi-
tai with an appeal to elements with
in the republican party. This ap-
peal to republicans is seen in the
words:
Dominant in the republican
party today IS the element which
proclaims and executes the political
theories against which the party
liberals like Roosevelt and La Fol
lette and their party insurgents
have rebelled. This reactionary ele-
ment seeks to vindicate the theory
of benevolent oligarchy. 1t assumes
that a material prosperity, the very
existence of which is challenged, is
an excuse for political inequality. 1t
makes the concern Of the govern
ment, not people, but material
things.
But the governor Immediately
hastened to cover up:
at is a fallacy that there is in
consistency between progressive
measures protecting the rights of
the people, including the poor and
the weak, and a just regard for the
rights of legitimate business, great
or small. Therefore, while en-
phasize my belief that legitimate
business promotes the national well
fare, let me warn the forces of cor
ruption and favoritism, that deme-
cratic victory means that they will
be relegated to the rear and the
front seats will be occupied by the
friends of equal opportunity"
