DR. BUTLER PRAISES
 GOV. SMITHS SPEECH

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler. Presi- dent of Columbia University, fol- lowed his recent criticism of Her bert Hoover on Prohibition and National defense, with state ment on Gov. Smiths speech, say ing:
 Gov. Smiths address of ac- ceptance was statesmanlike document, well conceived, well phrased and admirably expressed. It shows the Governor at his best, and we New York Repub- licans know by long experience how good that is. His setting forth the case for the Democratic Party in this campaign was able and on a high plane. This can only be met by like or better arguments on similarly high plane
 pr. Butler added that Gov Smiths viewpoint was strictly partisan on the three paramount subjects of agriculture, foreign policy and international peace.

DENVER, Aug. 23 Colorado. the Centennial state, delivered by the voters in the campaigns of 1920 and 1924 to the Republican Party, today presents such a poll tical puzzle that astute politicians, experts and students have given up the job of forecasting the shift ing political winds.
 Many complexities and paradox es enter into the political sltua- tion in Colorado this year. The voters will elect four congress- men and a complete state ticket, but there is no senatorial contest.
 Chief among the complexities are the religious, liquor and farm relief questions. The state has forged ahead in the last two years as an agricultural commonwealth There is no secret about the fact that the Democrats count on the farm vote to play a big part ir winning the election.
 In the past the Democratic party has had it's discords in so far as prediction activities are con

PUBLIC THINKS GOV. SMITH W AS FRANK AND ABLE
While there Is Difference of Opinion Non-Partisan
 Verdict Is Favorable

WAS NGTON, Aug. 23.- Prominent Democrats and Re- publicans in many parts of the country. commenting upon Gov Alfred E. Smiths speech of ac- ceptance, praised or found fault as their conception of govern ment guided them, but express sions are accompanied by good deal of partisan opinion and the general verdict is that he stated frankly and ably his posi- tion on the foremost issues of the campaign as he was expected to do. Those who praised the speech without reservation are mostly Democrats and those who most readily found fault were Republicans, but in group com-l menting there were Democrats who refused to accept the nom- inee's views on Prohibition and Republicans who thought his stand on agriculture preferable to that of Hoover.
 Those who praised the speech without reservations included Senators Edward I. Edwards, wet leader of New Jersey; Walter F. George, Georgia's dry favorite son at the Houston Convention; Duncan U Fletcher of Florida. and T. H. Caraway of Arkansas, and Representative Sol Bloom of New York, all Democrats.
 Those who objected to portions of the speech were Postmaster General Harry New, Senators William E. Borah, Reed Shoot and Simeon D. Fess, all Repub- licans.
 Jcsephus Daniels, former Secre- tary of the Navy, and Represen- tative Charles F. Crisp of Geor- gla, Democrats, excepted only to the Governors Prohibition views.
 Republicans who praised the speech included George Peek, farm leader of Illinois, and for mer Senator Henry Clay Hans brough of North Dakota. These indcrsed Gov. Smiths farm relief expressions.
