Asks Women 10 Aid
Mrs. v. w. Taylor called upon the
democratic women OF the Brownsville
precinct to aid in swelling the Smith
majority. She characterized Cover
nor Smith as "the white mans cham
pion." and said the women's vote of
the South vas being exploited by the
republican leaders who are allied
with the most corrupt political ma
chimes ever known"
Women have not had the expert
ence in political affairs that men
have: but we are learning" she said.
Il have found many women in Cam
eron county who were misled by re-
publican propaganda, and after learn
ing the real facts they have again
become militant democrats. and will
show their strength on November 8.
Few men realize the amount of wills
pering and propaganda that is being
used to sway the woman vote in the
South. But the republicans have
overdone il. They thought the women
were credulous; and they were, to n
certain extent. However. there is a
limit. and the Southern women arc
beginning to realize that the propa-
ganda is nothing more than an ef-
fort Of the republican machine to ex-
plot them"
Mrs. Taylor cited constructive leg
islation initiated on behalf Of women
by Governor Smith, stating he had
proved the most progressive, con-
structive statesman Of modern times.
and that the women of New York
would show their appreciation by
overwhelming for him.

Judge John T.. Kleiber stated he is
an anti-prohibitionist. but believed
the prohibition law, which has been

the land, must be enforced. Refer
ring to existing conditions and laxity
Of enforcement. he said: "The Law
will not be enforced so long as the
republicans remain in power. Re-
publican 'moonshine' will continue to
flow over this land until the admins
tration of the federal government Is
pfdNtu III tHt dHu VI mNh Th0 va
enforce the fundamental law"
In reference to the religious issue
Judge Kleiber predicted that il would
react on the republicans. citing the
occasion when Cleveland defeated
Blaine, after a prominent church
leader had declared in an address
that the churches should rally to the
support Of Blaine and defeat rum
Romanism and rebellion"
He compared the records Of Cleve-
land and Smith. noting that both had
| served as governors of New YORK

democratic presidential nomination
as q reward for the efficiency mani
tested in handling the administration
Of the state.
