THE POLITICAL PARADE
By Harry R. Blackmon

Washington, D. c., November 2
The biographers of Governor Alfred
E. Smith delight in describing the
terrific drives he launched against
his Republican opponents in the last
two weeks of each of hisgubernator-
ial campaigns. The inference is that
the opponents have crumbled under
his thrusts, and have been left gasp
ing and speechless by election day.
The truth is that they have given
the governor blow for blow, and
have beaten him badly in upstate
New York, only to succumb to the
great majorities he has rolled up in
New York City, with the aid of the
Tammany machine.
Running true to form this year,
Governor Smith is closing his cam
paign in spectacular fashion, firing
at random all the remaining charges
left in his pouch. But this battle is
so much greater than those to
which he has been accustomed that
his strategy is of no avail. The ma
ton finds his anti-Republican dia-
tribes amusing rather than convinc-
ing. Straw votes, betting odds, the
attitude of the party leaders, all
point to the election of Hoover and
Curtis by an overwhelming vote. Not
even Governor Smiths Tammany
cohorts in New York City can save
him this time.
Herbert Hoover winds up his cam
paign by going home to vote, and
,hus fulflls the duty of every good
citizen. He has made one of the
most remarkable campaigns on rec
)rd. In seven speeches he has set
he nations mind at rest on the lead
ng issues. Of equal Importance has
Deen his success in convincing a ma
ority of the voters of his dependable
liability and his determination that
quail opportunity for all shall be

action with all possible dispatch.

1t can be said without exaggera-
ton that Herbert Hoover's specially
is solving problems, and administer
ing his own solution thereafter. His
career is the best evidence of the
truth of that statement.
Talking to representatives of the
press in New York City recently, he
was asked whether he really enjoy
ed his task of campaigning, and %hat
particular features of it interest
him most.
81 like it very much" he answer
ed without hesitation. 81 have al
ways enjoyed every kind of intensive
mental effort"
And that, it may be added, is just
the way he has always attacked the
big undertakings which have been
put up to him.
One by one the props which Gov
ernor Smith has appropriated dur
ing the campaign to bolster his can
didacv have been pulled away. In
his speech at Oklahoma City, where
he defended his public record, he en-
deavored to make Charles Evans
Hughes and Elihu Root the spon-
sors of his ability, quoting from
statements made by both these emil
nent Republicans number OF years
back.
Now both Mr.. Hughes and Mr..
Root are giving their best efforts to
the election of Herbert Hoover. They
announce "On man to man choice,
the campaign has confirmed our be-
lief in the superiority of Hoover
over Smith"
A persistent attempt has been
made by Democratic campaign d.
rectors to convince the rank and file
of their party that William Jennings
Bryan, were he still alive, would be
Governor Smith. To re-
Pute such an assurance comes Will
liam Jennings Bryan, Jr., son of the
Commoner, to announce that his
vote will 90 to Herbert Hoover,
while the remaining members of the
BRYAN Democratic League, formed in
1900, direct a memorial to the Re
publican nominee pledging their
support to Hoover.
Last minute canards seeking to
workers that Herbert Hoo
er "has no labor record" and was
busive to native labor in the .Ori-
mt have failed to shake the conf
ence of organized labor in the man
rho was more responsible than any
ther for thousands of men being re-
lrned to work without delay after
le restoration of Republican rule in
921.
If evidence of labor's friendliness
n Hoover is needed, ask any men,
er of the sixteen railroad brother
pods, which are ready almost to a
an to go down the line for the
epublican national ticket.

fOr some of the nominees on both the

their masks and let the voters see
the real person they expect to cast
their ballot for? Are they hiding be-
/ hind the prohibition issue?
Foreigners coming to our shores
and desiring to become citizens of
our country are asked to pledge their
| allegiance to our constitution and to
uphold the same. Can we expect
more of foreign born than of Ameri-
can born? The eighteenth amend
ment with the Volstead act is the
law of our land. Are we going to
support the wishes of the loyal sons
and daughters of our American Re-
public that have fought and given |
their lives for this rich heritage we |
now enjoy? Let us carry on and |
stand guard at the polls on Novem-
ber and vote for no candidate that
is not an avowed dry, whether he be
Republican or Democrat. Remove

BIG BUSINESS MAN GUISE DUPED
GOTHAM NIGHT CLUB HOSTESSES
Undercover Agents Afhdavits Tell Tale of
Champagne and Whisky Parties and
Free-Spending Nights
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 2.-The inside
story OF how undercover prohibition
agents hoodwinked Broadway today was
made public in affidavits OH file in Fed
eral Court
The reports of the agents revealed
the easy manner in which the sup
posedly sophisticated hoStesseS. own
ers and head walters of the city's FORE
most night clubs accepted them as big
business men" and sold them liquor
for which 1873 persons from IS clubs
have been indicted.
Helen Morgan, Broadway actress and
'one Of the streets most popular hosteSses,
the affidavit said, appeared as sure that
two of the agents were what they said
they were-big business men from Dali
laS---that she offered to help one set
up night club in Dallas.
Texas Guinan. another affidavit said.
invited the supposedly big business
men" to party she was giving for
moving picture actress and also Sug-
sested they visit the night club of her
brother Tom.
Impressed Waiter ALBERT"
The affidavitS gave the names of seven
agents who gathered evidence as Lon
T. Tyson. Jacob A. Erkilla, Joseph L,
White, S. David Beazell. B. F.. Hargrove,
John j. Mitchell and H. E. Herrick.
1t was at the Frivolity Club, the af-
ffdavits showed, that the agents gained
the prestige that won them welcome to
the other clubs. The head waiter, al
bert" impressed by liberal spending
of money, presented them with a card
to Helen Morgan's Summer home"
They had made visits there before,
they said. but had been unable to buy
liquor. But with the card from AL
bert" they purchased champagne at S25
pint and brandy at SIS a pint
Other visits followed to Tex Guinan's
Salon Royale, the Furnace Club. the
Silver Slipper and the Ferndale Club.
Served Liquor Openly.
At all of these places. the affidavits
assert. the agents. some OF whom were
accompanied by their wives, were served
liquors in fun view of and with the
knowledge OF the head walters and
hostesSeS.
In one OF their trips to Helen Nor
gan's club they were introduced to Miss
Morgan. who joined them at their table
and ordered brandy When they COM
plimented her on the quality of the
drink, she responded: 1T costs US So. .25
a quart wholesale"
Agent Tyson asked her IL she would
sell her club. She told him no. but 81
will help you start one In Texas"
Miss Morgan. according to Tyson's
affidavit, told them her club did not
handle gin because all the college boys
drink gin We have lot of them here
They generally have only about $50 to
spend in an evening and bring their own
gin. They could not afford to pay our
prices
Miss Morgan is quoted as saving that
after the raid on her club last Winter
she made an arrangement with Camp
bell whereby he doesn't bother US" She
evidently referred to Prohibition Admin
istrator Maurice Campbell, the agent
added.
Contends She Is Hostess.
Miss Guinan. who has contended she
merely is hostess and has nothing to
do with the ownership of her club, was
represented in one OF the affidayits as
sharing in the profits.
