one ugly category all Americans, Re-
publicans and Democrats, who oppose
him On honest grounds OF legitimate
political conviction.
THE reaction to the Democratic
nominees Oklahoma speech Is SUM-
GENTLY revealed by the fact that Okla
homa is safely in the Hoover bag. There
could have been no other result Of
Smiths amazing charges, for which he
offered no proof.

sion Is when he can permit himself to
thus impugn the good faith and honesty
OF millions of his fellow countrymen at
the moment he Is asking them to vote
for him for the highest office In their

conviction that Gov. Smith ought not
to be President without having his
motive challenged"
AS to Gov. Smiths farm relief views

Smith left in doubt whether he was
for the equalization fee or not. He
promised a statement in plain under
standable English and then made one
that was not understandable by any
reader Of English. Senator Norris.

The same year, Gen. Allen said, Gov.
Smith obtained a $4,000, 900 appropria-

- "THE BLIND GODDESS"
 NOW AT COLISEUM


 Justice, as it is dispensed in the criminal courts, comes in for Q sound spanking, and the reiiabil- ity of circumstantial evidence re- ceives knockout blow in Victor F1eming's thrilling romanee-dra- ma. "The Blind Goddess" which opened at the Coliseum Theatre last night.
 The romance of young love, the pathos of self-sacrificing mother love, the sinister side of politics, the smart social atmosphere ci Fifth Avenue, New York City, the blundering efforts of the law, symbolized by the blind goddess all these are elements in tine story that grips the interest, and sstirs the emotions.
 Jack Holt, as a young lawyer who dares to sacrifice the girl he loves to remain true to his ideal of duty. plays in his usually capable fashion. Esther Ralston, the personification of feminine loyeliness, gives an excellent ac. count Of herself in a role that makes heavy demands on her his. trion.c ability.
